I Didn't Say It ... Mike Johnson Is The Devil

Mike Johnson, new Speaker of the House, in a 2004 op-ed.

“Homosexual relationships are inherently unnatural and, the studies clearly show, are ultimately harmful and costly for everyone. Society cannot give its stamp of approval to such a dangerous lifestyle. If we change marriage for this tiny, modern minority, we will have to do it for every deviant group. Polygamists, polyamorists, pedophiles, and others will be next in line to claim equal protection. They already are. There will be no legal basis to deny a bisexual the right to marry a partner of each sex, or a person to marry his pet. The state and its citizens have a compelling interest in preserving the integrity of the marital union by making opposite-sex marriage the exclusive form of family relationship endorsed by the government. Loss of this status will de-emphasize the importance of traditional marriage to society, weaken it, and place our entire democratic system in jeopardy by eroding its foundation. Your race, creed, and sex are what you are, while homosexuality and cross-dressing are things you do. This is a free country, but we don’t give special protections for every person’s bizarre choices.”

As with all homophobes, he uses fear to spin his so-called truth: let The Gays marry and the pedophiles will be able to marry children, or dogs, or toasters. In 2023 he still plays out that proven lie that being gay is a choice, when we know for ma fact it’s not,. But being a homophobic faux “Christian” bigot is a choice.

This motherfucker—I’d say pardon my language, but the man is a motherfucker—equates being gay to pedophilia and cross-dressing though most everyone with brains that fire on all cylinders, unlike Mike Johnson, knows that most pedophiles are straight men like Mike Johnson and most cross-dressers are straight men like Mike Johnson.

This cannot be allowed to stand.

CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE in 2024.

Vote Blue because the GOP has come for women, is now coming for people of differing faiths, and will soon be coming for the LGBTQ+ Americans, and once they’re done with that, they’ll come for all of you.

Jenna Ellis, flipping on Mr-Former-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Indicted-Not-My-President-Gurl:

"As an attorney who is also a Christian, I take my responsibilities as a lawyer very seriously. I endeavored to represent my client to the best of my abilities and relied on others, including lawyers with many more years of experience than I, to provide me with true information, especially because my role involved speaking to the media and state legislators. What I did not do, but should have done, was make sure the facts other lawyers alleged to be true were in fact true. In the frenetic pace of attempting to raise challenges to the election in several states, including Georgia, I failed to do my due diligence. I believe in and value election integrity. If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-election challenges. I look back on this whole experience with deep remorse."

What Jenna Ellis said in November 2020:

“With all those states [Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia] combined we know that the election was stolen from [Thing 45], and we can prove that.”

Huh, seems like Jenna Ellis knew exactly what she was doing: goose-stepping along with liars and cheats and criminals, but as the threat of prison looms closer, she has a change of heart and admits she is a liar, and a cheat and a criminal … and a moron.

Mike Johnson, newly elected House Speaker, in a 2016 interview:

“You know, we don’t live in a democracy because a democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what’s for dinner. OK? It’s not just majority rule. It’s a constitutional republic. The founders set that up because they followed the biblical admonition of what a civil society is supposed to look like. What’s happened … over the last 60 or 70 years, is that our generation has been convinced that there is a separation of church and state. Most people think that that’s part of the Constitution, but it’s not. Remember, I’m a constitutional lawyer.”

No, you’re a Christian Nationalist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic bigot trying to hide your hate behind a cross.

Enjoy your time in office, asshat, 2024 is coming.

Franklin Graham, on sin being the biggest threat to America … not war, climate change, or guns:

“Last night CBS 60 Minutes had a fascinating segment about the Five Eyes, intelligence chiefs from the U.S., the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, who are warning this nation and the world about the dangers China poses. FBI Director Christopher Wray said, ‘There is no country that presents a broader, more comprehensive threat to our ideas, our innovation, our economic security, and ultimately our national security.’ But we must also remember that the greatest threat to the human race is our complacency toward and the acceptance of sin. Sin is rebellion against God—and unless we repent and turn from those sins and believe on the Name of God’s Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, trusting Him as Savior—there is no hope.”

Funny that the man who virulently supports a thrice-married adulterer, and a man who cheats and lies about everything in his life, is talking about sin.

The sin of stupidity and lies lives in  Franklin Graham.

Mike Johnson, in his acceptance speech as House Speaker:

“I want to tell all my colleagues here what I told the Republicans in that room last night. I don’t believe there are any coincidences in a matter like this. I believe that scripture, the Bible, is very clear that God is the one that raises up those in authority. He raised up each of you. All of us. And I believe that God has allowed and ordained each and every one of us to be here at this specific moment. This is my belief. I believe that each one of us has a huge responsibility today to use the gifts God has given us to serve the extraordinary people of this great nation, and they deserve it. There is a critical distinction that we used to have children memorize in school and they don’t do that so often anymore. But they should. All men are created equal. Not ‘born equal.’ Created equal. ”

Hey Mike? Ask your “God” why he raised up a thrice-married adulterous con-artist to the presidency. Ask your “God” why he raised up a pedophile enabler like Gym Jordan; a sexual predator like Matt Gaetz, and adultery like Marge, the queen of the public hand-job like Lauren Boebert; the adulterous New Gingrich and so many more.

Ask God why, if She wanted you in power it took her this long.

God didn’t raise you to power; your use of God as a weapon of mass distraction and fear did that.

John Fetterman, Democrat Pennsylvania Senator, taking issue with a new school lunch resolution offered by the GOP that would allow people to deny lunch to a child because "God":

“I can’t even believe that this resolution is even real. This makes it possible for some random lunch lady to deny lunch to a hungry child because she says her god tells her to. School lunch should be free, and certainly free of judgment. Don’t we have better things to do in the upper chamber than picking on kids because of who they are?”

Sadly, apparently not.

  1. Honestly, who ever thought Mike Johnson would be the winner in a Trifecta! One of the biggest reason for the great dechurching in America is Christian Nationalism, however for Johnson to understand that, he'd have to also understand just how screwed up his brain is. And Fetterman rocks!

    1. Luckily from I understand, he won't be Speaker if the Democrats take back the House when Congress certifies the 2024 election. He'll just be another nobody.

  4. I'm reposting this in its entirety on my blog because I couldn't have said any of it better. Thank you for this!

    The only solace I take in any of this is whatever batshit crazy legislation MIke Johnson's league of crazies might come up with, we still have the senate and ultimately the President's veto to put a stop to it. So let them rant and show the people who they are. Winter is coming for the Republican party.

  5. I saw the video of Matt Gaetz gleefully discussing the election of Mike Johnson as speaker and cringed.
    The current day variety of Christianity is so far off the teachings of Jesus - one almost hopes for the second coming so these assholes will discover they're heading for hell after creating hell on earth for so many of their "equals".

  6. He may look like a mild-mannered Clark Kent but Mike Johnson is not a nice person. I also have grave doubts that he will properly certify the 2024 presidential election if he doesn't like the result. What were those "moderate" Repugnants in the house thinking of?

  8. Re: Marriage only for heteros.
    I can never comprehend why arguments against gay marriage includes the idea that allowing it will or has opened the door to demands for people to marry children, their pets (or other animals), even inanimate objects such as their laptops. Well, as far as I'm aware modern marriage, at least in the modern era, has required the consent of BOTH parties, with those two individuals being at an age as considered mature enough to give their full consent to the marriage bond, including being aware of its implications. Now, will someone please tell me what child, animal or grand piano will be considered mature enough to give their legally recognised full consent? Is there not already a built-in presumed (or maybe ACTUAL) law in place to prevent this? So what exactly is the problem that gay marriage has opened up to these impossibilities happening? Now I realise that the same arguments may be used to keep illegal both polygamy and marriage within a family (or very close relative). Now I personally would support the making legal of both these situations, always conditional on full consent of both/all parties, but is there much demand for it? I'm not aware of ANY!

    1. They think marrying children or toasters is what happens when you allow two ADULT members of the same sex marry.
      The ignorance is stunning.

      Delete
    2. Yes. Why does marriage suddenly become an institution where the consent of only ONE of the parties would be sufficient? Oh, my God, what CAN they do to prevent it happening? They'll be unable to pass any laws to prohibit it! The whole country will be compelled to accept it. There'll be so much demand (from millions on millions!) for single person approval to marriage that even SCOTUS, despite its current heavy bias, will be utterly powerless to stop such a horror! Doom is coming - and it all started with those infernal gays expecting equal treatment. The cheek of it! See what happens when someone expects to be treated 'reasonably'! Shame!!!!

  9. Mike Johnson is the worst kind of xtianist: rabid, bigoted and powerful. For him the US needs to be a theocracy and he won't stop until he sees that become a reality.
    He's anti-women, anti-lbgtq, anti-truth (an election denier) and anti- anything not xtian. The Repugs have moved all the way to Xtian Nationalism with him.

    VOTE!

    There is a strange positive about Mike Johnson. When he and his wife were first married, they started fostering a 14 year-old Black boy who was on the streets and in trouble. Johnson has referred to his Black son during some debates, but I doubt actual adoption took place. During the George Floyd protests, Johnson said "clearly this was a murder" and talked about how his Black son had so many more challenges and dangers to face than his white one. I'd love to hear from that "son," now in his mid-30's, about the situation. And, yes, some of Johnson's colleagues have called him "too woke" because of this!

  12. I wonder if little Mikey has some naughty homosexual feelings he tries to push down. Normally that's the case when there's so much hatred there.

  16. The new Speaker was just a lesser known devil than some of the other nominees, which is why he infiltrated so successfully, few people even heard of him or what he says and believes or stands for. There are no Non-Lunatics in the ReTrumplican Party now, all real Conservatives bailed or were kicked out, only Extremists remain at this point. I just wonder how many other devils have infiltrated everywhere now while nobody was paying attention? Better the devils you know than the devils you don't as my Dear Ole' Nanna used to say...

  18. Mike Johnson is a religious extremist with crazily mixed up views. Perhaps he'd be better off as a monk in some remote monastery - then he could pray to his imaginary "Lord" as much he wants. He said, "My faith informs everything I do." Does that include masturbation?

  19. Thank you for posting this, and thank Mark for making me aware of it. I was thinking of doing a post on the new speaker, but got too stressed thinking about the new situation. I did, however, post that he's just two assassinations from the big chair.
