1. I'm beginning to think he's going to be even too kooky for the orange mass!

[The Unmitigated Gall]

2. The world is just moving too fast

For Slippery Johnson.

[Srkdqltr]

3. Of course he did.

[madaboutharry]

4. Mike Johnson is being revealed to be an unhinged religious zealot with ideas counter to democracy.

I will say the quiet part out loud and just say that this man is a weirdo. His days as Speaker will be short lived because he is an intolerant hater and even republicans will want to get him off the national stage.

[Sugarcoated]

5. Quickly proving how kooky and extreme he is

Good

[Bundbuster]

6. Give us more ammunition for 2024, you sanctimonious maggot.

[GreenWave]

7. he did not singlehandedly stop the magat insurrection on j-6.

so who to blame?

[NowISeetheLight]

8. OMG

It's like Mike Pence and Michelle Bachman decided to have a child... and got child rearing advice from Pat Robertson. Then they homeschooled him using PragerU curriculum. He was never allowed to date or leave the house growing up except for church. They taught him women are incubators and should be subservient toward men.

A possibility? Who knows....

Note this is sarcasm

[BOSSHOG]

22. Are you sure it's sarcasm?

Sounds pretty believable to me.

9. One More Thing Our Revered Founders Got Wrong, Ma'am

It's pretty clear there ought to be some religious test for holding office in a Democracy: it is quite clear adherents of some denominations ought not be allowed even near a voting booth, let alone government office....

11. Did you just say that there ought to be some religious test for holding office in a Democracy or

am I reading your post wrong?

[The Magistrate]

13. Yes

I seldom say things I do not mean, and on occasions when I do, I am concerned that they be taken as expression of my actual views. I see no point in unconvincing dishonesty.

Religious views have an unfortunate tendency to overlap with delusional belief. It is one thing for a person to be gripped by delusion and act accordingly in their life. It is quite another for a person gripped by delusion to hold government office in which their delusions can be inflicted on the populace at large as matters of policy and law.

You will doubtless start with 'who decides?', and while that is a reasonable objection to any particular line drawn, it does not address the problem of allowing into positions of authority people whose grasp of reality is so shaky as to be able to say, on the basis of religious belief, the sort of nonesense poured out the mouth of the loon cited above, now in a critical office of our government.

Rough rule of thumb in my view: Belief in inerrancy of any sacred text, belief one's religious views should be binding secular law, and the capability of saying with evident sincerity 'One man and God is a majority', are all views that render people holding them unfit for office in a Democracy.

18. Whew! and thank you for your excellent clarification. I agree.

DU is like walking through a minefield at present.

You are one of the more consistent voices of rationality.

[keep_left]

19. LOL, that last line of yours...the first time I heard it was from David Duchovny on...

...an X-Files episode. That probably wasn't the first time that aphorism was stated, and it certainly won't be the last.

12. That man is very sick, a truly damaged being...

and I won't say human.

[JuJuChen]

14. You know that mother fucker hits up gas station glory holes and has probably eaten human flesh.

Little piece of shit, I hate the guy already

[ornotna]

26. So what you're saying is

This guy might have a wide stance.

[BlueSpot]

15. So the murderers share his values

Have I got that right?

[Emile]

16. Blame everyone is not taking personal responsibility to do something.

[StarryNite]

17. What a stupid POS he is.

[bluesbassman]

20. This pissant could have easily been one of the torch bearers at the Salem witch trials.

Convinced of his moral superiority through a botched interpretation of Scripture. Secure in his self righteousness because he prays in public settings. This is not only the face of MAGA, it’s the face of modern evangelicalism.

This may be a blessing in disguise as this loathsome modern day Pharisee turns more people away from MAGA but the bastardized version of Christianity he practices.

[musclecar6]

21. A True Believer

In nonsense. Yes, so many off-the-wall ideas, where does one begin to try and figure this jackass out.

[struggle4progress]

23. He must get money from the gun lobby

[Poiuyt]

24. He sure is creating a lot of ads for the Democratic Party

We need to tell voters who he is and then tie him to every Republican running for office.

[lastlib]

25. And I thought no one could ever make Icky Ricky Santorum look good.......

(in a relative sense, that is.)

How foolish of me. GEEZ, what an umpolished turd!

27. This guy is crazy.

[claudette]

28. Oh, sure....

Those were the things on Robert Card's mind when he killed 18 people last night. OMG - who VOTES for these morons?

[walkingman]

29. Hmmm....A white evangelical from the Bible Belt as SOTH, what could go wrong?

30. The RWNJ is a religious fanatic
