MAGA Mike Johnson travels to Mar-a-Lago to kiss Trump’s ring

[Bugsy McGurk]

Yes indeed, MAGA Mike, who claims to be a good Christian, has made the pilgrimage and knelt down before the Mango Mussolini, he of 30,000 lies as president, so they can jointly take a wrecking ball to our democracy.

Downright surreal…

Well looky here…the forum’s standard-bearer who unilaterally demanded that posters making an OP “QUOTE” a thread’s featured subject…DOESN’T quote the featured subject”. Not once, but TWICE in an ASOT thread on the top page, Bugsy demands direct sampling of the post’s subject person. Does Bugsy himself practice what he not only demands of others…but berates them repeatedly for its lacking? Well…of course not. As a lefty, he is exempt from all things he demands of others. As a lefty, he cannot self-reflect or be reciprocal in any way. As a lefty, he owns no mirrors.

Bugsy: “That linked piece does not contain any quotes from the dude justifying what you said in your screed. Same with your screed itself. But you have your agenda. I get it.”

“Again, no quotes from the dude supporting your premise. You sure do love your sophistry”

Indeed…that’s DIFFERENT!

You need help. You’re comparing a quote-less thread of what someone supposedly said with a thread about where someone went. Based upon your cranial dysfunction you sit there and type a crazed screed, saying NOTHING about the topic.

Seriously. See a shrink.

 

[Bugsy McGurk]

Yep. The pilgrimage to MAGA Mecca.

Imperative in today’s GOP. Ignore the two impeachments, the violent seizure of the Capitol building, the four indictments, the 91 felonies, the 30,000 lies, and the outright promises to take actions that would replace our democracy with fascism. Just go to Mar-a-Lago and bow down before the Mango Mussolini.

And, oh yes, don’t forget to impeach Joe Biden. About something. Whatever. Just make something up. Dear Leader Trump demands it.

Just astonishing.

Lol!

Assertion of “kissing rings” and seeking approval requires no “quote” of the guy being critiqued. You instead relied upon the veracity of your linked video. ASOT similarly links to CNN…and Bugsy demands direct “quotes”.

Woe to all so misfortunate as to read a Bugsy post. Just an AWFUL poster.

Looks like one of your countless problems is that you don’t know that “kissing the ring” is just an expression. A metaphor. Or maybe you do know that but you’re desperate to come up with something to explain your prior worthless post. Either way, you should discuss it with a shrink. Your brain simply doesn’t function in a normal way.

And, needless to say, you still have nothing to say on the topic. That would require confronting the madness of your GOP cult.

You are truly puzzling. Do you think this

$110 billion annually in shoplifting? Not really a problem, sez some social justice college professor . . .

should not include a quote from the professor that shop lifting isn't a problem?

Here is what he is actually quoted as as saying...

“Historically, shoplifting has always had this outsized impact on public discourse,” said Alex Vitale, a professor of sociology at Brooklyn College and the author of “The End of Policing.”

Claiming to be a good Christian and following the teachings of the Gospel are not what Mike Johnson seems to be doing.
As long as he keeps supporting Trump and pushing Trump's well established lie re: his stolen election lie narrative... his unchristian actions speak otherwise.
In the end God will be his judge though.

He has no problem with such right wing dishonesty. However, using the phrase “kissing his ring” threw him into an absolute tizzy.

It's maddening to watch the Trumpers gobble it all up though... such hypocrisy.

That's funny. He does look like Clark Kent. I agree. I doubt Mike can save the day. His beliefs are more apt to ruin the day and the country.

His change of attitude in 2021 from 2015 toward Trump spoke volumes re: his hypocrisy. IMO

For Johnson, the vote to keep Trump in office reflected a striking evolution from his past critique of Trump in 2015, whom, as first reported by the New York Times, he openly labeled as “dangerous,” lacking “character,” and devoid of a “moral center.” It was the apex of the transactional relationship between the religious right and former TV star.

His cowardly 180 is typical among Republicans.

They KNOW Trump is unfit to be president. They said so. But now they just put party over country.

They are sickening.

Say what you want about this guy but at least he can count and seems to have some idea how the Speaker of The House works. It did not take him long to figure out that many times even though he is an ultra conservative Republican he realized that he needed to cooperate with Jeffries to get a bill passed to fund the government. I think the guy is kind of whacky in some ways but I think he means well and is much more reasonable than McCarthy. Credit where credit is due. He gave the big fvck you to Gaetz and did his job. McCarthy was too gutless and got tossed aside.

He acts like a harmless Clark Kent, but it’s all an act. The guy’s a nut. A government shutdown early next year is a lock. Maybe two shutdowns. And he has now confirmed his subservience to Trump. He’s only just started to do his damage. Meanwhile, Ukraine and Israel are left twisting in the wind.

You are assuming a lot. The only way to work in a closely divided house is to compromise. It seems to me that he understands this. I give the man the benefit of the doubt. There are no locks here.
