Johnson Is Worse Than Gym Jordan

We now have a Pharisee as Speaker of the House, anything he does will be mandated by God. This is why unwashed Magats are set in their ways, because of religion. Trump was sent by God and now Johnson was sent by God, how does anyone argue with that logic?

Make no mistake, Johnson is a true believer, a man of God. Good luck in getting a spending bill passed, good luck keeping the government open, whatever Johnson does, he does in the name of God.

This is why our founders put separation of church and state in the Constitution, because of people like Michael Johnson.

We are in for a long row to hoe folks.

Vote them out.

Johnson is quite evil like Gym, but wraps it up in religious grandiosity.
Spends his time insulting and demeaning others but pretends to be joking
or sincere about it.

Experienced.

He sees himself as one of the already chosen and his time on Earth is to be used to teach the rest of us of God’s wrath. Anything, goes. He feels he can do no wrong.

The only relationships he has are entirely transactional.
What others can do for him. Once people are of no use, he will discard them.

He is the star in every scene, everyone else is just a prop.

There's actually not much daylight between the two in the christo-fascism space. But if he actually believes he was ordained to lead he probably expects God to do something about the people who stand between him and the presidency. I'm concerned other nutjobs might be making the same calculation.

Believe it or not, they actually started passing some budget bills already. That’s a sign they are at least breathing. I don’t even think we will have to do a CR which would be amazing.

Ken Buck even voted against them. Johnson wants to gut everything. None of the bills they passed will clear the Senate.

Gym Jordan is a con man like Trump, Johnson is a true believer, he wants to replace the Constitution with the Old Testament.

GOP has repeatedly shown there is no low too low. So, any of them will eventually out low the others. It’s how they work. Tag team of cruelty, greed and depravity; In the name of god no less.

not by God. The fundies have to believe in Satan's existence, because the New Testament says that he took Jesus to the top of a high mountain and tempted him there (Matthew 4:8-10)
