Its pretty easy to spot anti Christ "Christians." They are the ones who call themselves Christians while going against the teachings of Christ. Because is you actually read the New Testament you know the one sin Jesus preached against more than any other by far is don't be a hypocrite.

And treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans also ignore Jesus was one of the first to advoate for separation of Church and state.

Mark 12:17
Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” And they were amazed at him.


James 5:12
But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no, so that you may not fall under condemn



'A Christian lying to us': Mike Johnson faces backlash at conservative conference

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) was grilled on Monday about Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) "lying" despite his claims of being a Christian.

At Turning Point Action's America Fest conference, founder Charlie Kirk hosted a talk with Gaetz. Kirk demanded to know why Johnson had passed a continuing resolution (CRs) to fund the government after promising not to.

"Help me understand why he said no CRs, and then he lied about that," Kirk said.

"Well, because he didn't have the votes," Gaetz replied.

"But why is Speaker Johnson lying?" Kirk pressed.

"Maybe they all lie about no CRs because they've all said it," Gaetz explained.

"Why is a guy who says he's a Christian lying to us?" Kirk asked again.

"Well, I — I think that — I think that Mike Johnson viewed this short-term bridge as a way to liberate ourselves from the CRs," Gaetz claimed.

"That's D.C. speak," Kirk interrupted. "Shut down the government. Shut it down."

At that point, conservative podcaster Steve Bannon led the crowd in a chant.

"Shut it down!" they shouted. "Shut it down!"

No, really!
It doesn't matter if you don't believe in God.
He still believes in you!

 

Says who?

 

"Jesus loves us,
That I know...
Cause the Bible tells us so."
OMG

 

When was it that this thread - named for Patrick McHenry, stop being about Patrick McHenry?

Fucking Leftfucks are lazy. If you want to talk about Mike Johnson you should start a new thread.

Oh, but you Libfucks don't care about anything but your own agenda, do you? Not the Constitution, not the Rule of Law, and certainly not about honesty and credibility.

Keep on, bitches. America, although slow on the uptake, is catching up with your bullshit.

 

That guy's in a hell of a bad mood.

 

You have always been a thread Nazi Clarise thinking you can tell everyone else what to do .

As for me I use threads like this as a historical archive tracking the developments and documenting just how incompetent corrupt and hypocritical treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans really are.

And what would I need a new title for? As soon as I post on it you can just about guess what its about. And obviously click on it and it bothers you.

You support Trump after he is a proven in court tax evader, fraud, and rapist. You support and defend Trump when he is indicted on 91 counts in federal and state courts. You support the first attempted coup in America history. You support ending the Constitution and democracy and make Trump a fascist dictator. And its the left that doesn't support the Constitution and the Rule of Law?

OH JUST FUCKING ROFLCOPTERS​

 

What is Christian nationalism?

Christian nationalism i2s the belief that the American nation is defined by Christianity, and that the government should take active steps to keep it that way. Popularly, Christian nationalists assert that America is and must remain a “Christian nation”—not merely as an observation about American history, but as a prescriptive program for what America must continue to be in the future. Scholars like Samuel Huntington have made a similar argument: that America is defined by its “Anglo-Protestant” past and that we will lose our identity and our freedom if we do not preserve our cultural inheritance.

'Most disturbing Christian nationalist of 2023': Analyst's terrifying take on Mike Johnson

Alex Henderson, AlterNet
December 20, 2023 10:38AM ET

When Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted as speaker, some liberal and progressive pundits feared that House Republicans would pick someone even more to the right to replace him.

And that's exactly what happened.

After three weeks of chaos, House Republicans unanimously voted to confirm Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) as speaker. Johnson, a far-right Christian nationalist, was among the MAGA Republicans who favored overturning the 2020 presidential election results and keeping Donald Trump in the White House, despite the fact that he lost to now-President Joe Biden.

The fact that Johnson is a practicing Christian isn't the thing that troubles his Democratic critics. President Joe Biden and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) both consider themselves devout Catholics; the Rev. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) is a Protestant minister, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg isn't shy about being a churchgoing Episcopalian.

Rather, it's the type of Christianity Johnson embraces that worries then. Johnson has been upfront in his view that the United States should be governed according to a severe and extreme form of Christian nationalist fundamentalism.

In an article published Wednesday, The New Republic's Melissa Gira Grant describes Johnson as "the most disturbing and influential Christian nationalist of 2023." And the "salient question" about the speaker, she argues, is, "How did so many people — including myself, to be honest — not see Mike Johnson coming?

"The answer is that Johnson went this long passing as yet another Republican because many of us didn't pay enough attention to the warnings from those who track the rise of Christian nationalism and who have been deeply troubled by it for a long time," Grant writes.

"Johnson has not moderated his Christian nationalism with his political ascent…. Johnson is not the only member of Congress who seeks to rule the United States according to 'biblical values,' but he is the one most clearly groomed for this role by the Christian Right."

Grant elaborates, "He spent years moving in secretive circles. He found mentors and future supporters among those on the right who have been pushing the mainstream conservative movement, urging its members to unleash their most extreme tendencies.

Johnson was made by those groups and networks; now, they have a powerful ally third in the line of presidential succession. They made him powerful, and he owes them."

So, who is this "expert analyst" who wrong story and american hater think is so qualified to be judging the speaker of the house?

Melissa Gira Grant
Grant was born in Boston, Massachusetts. She attended the University of Massachusetts and San Francisco State University. Her bio doesn't mention what she studied, or if she graduated.

For a few years she worked at a clinic and was later on the staff of the third wave foundation, a social justice and feminist foundation in New York. According to her bio, her writing covers "the intersection of gender, sexuality, race, justice, and the law."
Huh.
Grant is a former sex worker who worked in that trade to support herself while she worked at becoming an established writer. She was a member of the exotic Dancers Union and a board member at the Lusty Lady Theater in San Francisco.

She is a published author, having written "Playing the Whore". She has been a staff writer at the New Republic, and has contributed to such media as the Pacific Standard, Village Voice, Appeal, the Nation, Pacific Standard, the Village Voice and Slate.
Melissa Gira Grant | About
Melissa Gira Grant - Wikipedia

So setting aside any judgements about her education or career Shooter doesn't see any qualifications for her offering up an opinion about speaker Johnson, his religion, or the "intersection of religion and politics."

But then we couldn't expect american hater to much give a tick fart what Grant's qualifications are, or whether wrong story gives much of a gas bubble about her "expert analysis" either. The scribe is touting the official line, that's what matters.

 

And once again the question is begged. What are treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans doing on a pron forum when they are women haters and degrade women for having sex or being a sex worker? That is an incredible psychological conflict that most likely stems from self loathing of their own sexual desires.

What about being a former sex worker disqualifies them from having well written opinions? And why would someone harp on that instead of what was actually said? Because they cannot dispute the facts that opinion is based on.

Our history is full of women who were once sex workers that went on to do great things. Maya Angelou is a Poet Laureate and once of our nation's most powerful poets. But she was also once a prostitute. An experience she used to make her poetry so incredibly powerful.

 

I will say again the treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republican civil war where they cannibalize each other is just fun to watch. They cannot govern as a majority. As a minority they have a common enemy they can rally around. But as a majority their enemies are anyone who has more power than them and they turn on each other like rabid dogs.



'Mike Johnson cannot be trusted': Trump ally says speaker is secretly meeting Ron DeSantis

A failed Republican candidate whose content is shared by Donald Trump almost daily is now dishing the dirt on a fellow ally of the ex-president.

Laura Loomer, a self-styled journalist who has published reports on numerous Trump enemies, including Judge Engoron, who is overseeing the former president's civil fraud trial, has caught Trump's attention in recent weeks. In addition to Trump opponents, Loomer has also published articles on Trump ally Elise Stefanik, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and many others.

Now, Loomer is taking the fight to newly minted House Speaker Mike Johnson, according to a post on social media.

"Tonight in Iowa, Speaker Mike Johnson privately met with [Ron DeSantis] for President surrogates at a DeSantis campaign event," Loomer wrote late Tuesday. "This photo was taken tonight of Mike Johnson with [Randy Feenstra], [Mariannette Miller-Meeks], [Zach Nunn]. All of these Reps have been campaigning with [DeSantis] in Iowa over the last few months."

Loomer published the photo on social media.

Loomer goes along to allege that Miller-Meeks is continually campaigning for DeSantis.

"Additionally, Rep. Mariannette Jane Miller-Meeks, who is in the picture with [Johnson] took a picture with [Chip Roy] while he is in Iowa this week for several [DeSantis] campaign events. She has also been campaigning for [DeSantis] in Iowa and I have pictures of her at his campaign events. Why did Speaker Johnson meet with [DeSantis] in Iowa today, the same day that the Colorado Supreme Court disqualified President Trump from the GOP primary ballot? Mike Johnson cannot be trusted. I always said he was anti Trump! From day 1!"

Since there is a claim that someone who was a sex worker or doesn't have a formal education is not capable of writing extremely well thought out and accurate articles I think its only fair to post the article to prove them wrong.

Mike Johnson Is the Christian Nationalist We Should Have Seen Coming
Those who track the Christian right told people to worry about this guy. Why didn’t we listen?

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson gives remarks ahead of a Capitol Menorah lighting ceremony at the U.S. Capitol Building on December 12, in Washington.


One year from now, we may once again find ourselves facing myriad right-wing activists and entities seeking to overturn the results of a presidential election. At the center may be the current speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican previously known to few outside the Christian right. When the 2024 election takes place, Johnson will barely have reached his first anniversary as speaker.

Johnson spent the tense, chaotic period between the 2020 election and the inauguration persuading Republicans to sign onto an amicus brief he crafted for a Texas lawsuit asserting that state legislatures alone had the power to decide how to run elections. The lawsuit itself was drafted by Trump allies, including the head of a Christian nationalist legal group that employed Johnson before he entered higher office.

The lawsuit failed. The violent aftermath on January 6, 2021, would be caught on thousands of video feeds. Several weeks into being speaker, Johnson would pledge that when releasing 44,000 hours of footage of the attack on the Capitol, he would have the faces of the rioters blurred to protect them from prosecution by the Department of Justice. Mike Johnson is the most disturbing and influential Christian nationalist of 2023.

Numerous reports over the last two months have examined the question, Where did Mike Johnson come from? But that’s not a difficult question to answer. He’s been frank about where he came from, telling the Louisiana Baptist Message when he was running for Congress for the first time back in 2016: “Some people are called to pastoral ministry … I was called to legal ministry and I’ve been out on the front lines of the ‘culture war’ defending religious freedom, the sanctity of human life, and biblical values, including the defense of traditional marriage, and other ideals that have been under assault.”

The more salient question is, How did so many people (including myself, to be honest) not see Mike Johnson coming? The answer is that Johnson went this long passing as yet another Republican because many of us didn’t pay enough attention to the warnings from those who track the rise of Christian nationalism and who have been deeply troubled by it for a long time. Johnson has not moderated his Christian nationalism with his political ascent. “The Lord told me very clearly to prepare and be ready,” said Johnson this December, accepting an award at the National Association of Christian Lawmakers gala. Taking the speakership, he told the group, was merely one part of God’s plan for him.

Johnson is not the only member of Congress who seeks to rule the United States according to “biblical values,” but he is the one most clearly groomed for this role by the Christian right. He spent years moving in secretive circles. He found mentors and future supporters among those on the right who have been pushing the mainstream conservative movement, urging its members to unleash their most extreme tendencies. Johnson was made by those groups and networks; now they have a powerful ally third in the line of presidential succession. They made him powerful, and he owes them.

If you want an example of all this, look to Johnson’s membership in the Council for National Policy, an influential conservative group regarded as a kingmaker. Members of CNP are forbidden from telling anyone outside the group that they are a member. Their executive director recently told The Washington Post that the group doesn’t “do anything.” Its aim, as laid out in its vision statement, is to create a “united conservative movement” that can “[restore] religious and economic freedom, a strong national defense, and Judeo-Christian values under the Constitution.” Journalist Anne Nelson, author of the book on the Council for National Policy, Shadow Network, has described them as “the secret hub of the radical right.” She has also described Johnson as their “creation.”

Leaked CNP membership lists have included a who’s who of the far- and farther-right: anointer of conservative judges Leonard Leo; Clarence Thomas’s conspiracy theorist spouse, Ginni Thomas; and longtime Christian-right leadership figures like Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council and Michael Farris of Alliance Defending Freedom (that’s the group that had employed Johnson, where he could put his “legal ministry” to work). Such members reportedly meet in secret three times each year, often in Ritz-Carlton hotels. They are joined by lesser-known members too, some who have been current or former leadership in the John Birch Society, the neo-Confederate group League of the South, and the violent anti-abortion group Operation Rescue. Josh Duggar, of the fundamentalist reality television–starring Duggar family, has been a member, while working for the Family Research Council. Mike Johnson was photographed with Duggar at a 2014 campaign event. In 2021, Duggar was convicted of possessing child sexual abuse material.

These proceedings are all closed-door. But video has been obtained by the investigative journalism site Documented, including of Mike Johnson speaking at a CNP meeting in New Orleans in October 2019. “Probably all of my biggest heroes are in this room tonight,” Johnson said, before listing them. “I literally was the bag boy for Matt Staver when I began.” Staver is the founder of Liberty Council, another Christian-right group devoted to “religious freedom” in the sense that Alliance Defending Freedom is: defending the freedom to ignore LGBTQ and women’s rights, if not eliminate them. “And Tony Perkins, I was his bag, I’m not kidding. I was a young lawyer, and I just wanted to learn, and so I followed those guys around.” Tony Perkins is president of the Family Research Council, where Duggar once worked. Johnson also remarked that earlier, he was telling Morton Blackwell, a founder of CNP, “I’m in Congress primarily because I called him for help and he got me here.” Johnson may have laid this chapter of his origin story out in private, but once this video leaked, it was widely reported.

Johnson also shared a telling story about his more recent exploits. “Somehow, I found myself invited to a small dinner that Charles Koch was having,” he began. The other guests, as Johnson described them, were 25 of the top conservative donors in the U.S. (They may have held as much as $4 billion in assets, according to an estimate from the Center for Media and Democracy.) Unlike several other members of Congress who have attended CNP meetings, The Daily Beast reported, Johnson failed to report the trip in his personal financial disclosures. Johnson’s spokesperson said his campaign bought him his plane ticket. It remains unclear who paid for Johnson’s registration fee, hotel, or meals, though Johnson’s remarks point to at least 25 possibilities.

Were those donors pleased when, one year later, Johnson led Republican members of Congress to help Trump overturn the 2020 election? “Johnson is more dangerous because he wrapped up his attempt to subvert the election outcomes in lawyerly and technical language,” said law professor Rick Hasen this fall, shortly after Johnson became House speaker. A good example would be the language Johnson posted to Twitter on the morning of January 6, 2021: “We MUST fight for election integrity, the Constitution, and the preservation of our republic!” his tweet read. “It will be my honor to help lead that fight in the Congress today.”

Johnson had already crossed paths with some of those storming the Capitol that day. One of Johnson’s former clients, Jason Storms, assistant director of Operation Save America—the anti-abortion group targeting abortion providers formerly known as Operation Rescue—was one of many violent anti-abortion group leaders that day surrounding and swarming the Capitol. In 2009, Johnson represented him in a case involving Storms’s anti-abortion protests at clinics. “We were brothers on the path,” said Storms’s father, Grant, who Johnson had also represented, defending his protests of gay events and venues in 2003. “He always had our back.”

On January 6, Jason Storms climbed the scaffolding to shoot video of himself and the rioters, saying, “We’re not going anywhere.” He also recorded himself hollering, “Yeah, baby!” when someone near him bellowed out, “Hang them high!” This summer, at a conference of anti-abortion groups, Storms suggested that ending abortion in the U.S. might involve a “civil war.”

Held aloft by rioters outside the Capitol on January 6, among the bright “Don’t Tread on Me” Gadsden flags and the stark “Blue Lives Matter” flags, was a lesser-known flag with a smallish evergreen tree against a white background, the “Appeal to Heaven” flag. The flag has become synonymous with the New Apostolic Reformation, whose leaders were some of the first on the Christian right to embrace Trump, drawing him into their vision of an America ruled by Christianity. One of these white flags now hangs inside the Capitol, outside Johnson’s office.

Now we see ad hominem logical fallacies like you can't believe her. She's a whore. but what we will not see is anyone who can dispute the written facts in what is actually a well written, accurate and well documented article.

 

american hater is a fucking liar.
Point to the claim that a sex worker or doesn't have a formal education is not capable of writing articles.
Shooter did not say, did not infer and did not intend such a thing.
And american hater knows it.
american hater is a fucking character assassinating liar.

shooter asked what experience Grant had that would give her license to pass judgement on speaker Johnson. And noted that neither you or wrong story would much give a shit so long as the article followed your agenda.

Once again you expose your lying hypocritical penchant to attack all things not in line with your agenda.
Most sad.

 

Shooter might be constipated this morning. A glass of prune juice can help with that. Source:

Research suggests drinking prune juice may help treat constipation. Prune juice may make stools softer and encourage more frequent bowel movements.

 

And toniter can see if he can shit out a despicable, if he thinks being attacked with lies by an american hating ass will go without blowback from Shooter.

 

Talk about banana republics. The GOP elected a traitor as speaker of the house.

 

That is actually a very real concern.The House Speaker has several responsibilities when it comes to certifying a presidential election. When Johnson was just a rank and file member of Congress the best he cold do was file a brief on a bogus treasonous lawsuit and strong are treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans. That suit was so bogus the Supreme Court would not even hear it. But as Speaker Johnson could just refuse to certify an election if Trump lost.

And what makes it even more dangerous is Johnson's real goal isn't just to make Trump president by any means possible. His real goal is much greater. Which is do away with our secular Constitutional republic and implement a theocracy where the government dictates the country be governed his Christian Nationalism which is nothing short of Sharia Law For Christians enforced by the American Taliban. And Trump as dictator is the way to accomplish that.

 

YEAH!! AND 'MERICAN HATER BETTER WATCH OUT OR HE'S GONNA GET REEDUCATED IN A CAMP!!

 

Anyone not already brainwashed and even a passing knowledge of world history knows enough to fear religious fanatics. The founders of this nation certainly did. By the time they sat down to write the Constitution even then they knew more people had been killed over religion than any other single cause. Which is why the wrote the separation of church and state right into the Constitution.

And only true traitors to the United Stated of America don't support that separation and fight to keep it.





Religious scholars expose Mike Johnson’s 'malignant' Christian mission

After Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted as House speaker, some Democrats worried that Republicans would nominate someone even further to the right — which is exactly what happened when Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) stepped up.

Johnson isn't known for being loud, boisterous or flamboyant — he has even been described as "soft spoken." But his history is hardly that of a moderate, and critics — including veteran Democratic strategist James Carville — are sounding the alarm about his long history of pushing far-right Christian nationalism.

Johnson's alliances with extreme Christian nationalists are the focus of a report published by The Guardian on Friday.

According to The Guardian's Peter Stone, "Links between the new Republican House speaker, Mike Johnson, and key Christian nationalist leaders have sparked fears the devout Louisiana congressman might seek to erode elements of the First Amendment, which protects key U.S. civil liberties, including freedom of religion and the separation of church and state.

“Long before the evangelical conservative Johnson became speaker, he had forged close ties with Christian nationalists like David Barton, whose writings claiming the country's founders intended to create a Christian nation have been widely debunked by religion scholars."

Barton, Stone notes, has been promoting the "flawed idea there should be no separation between church and state" in the United States — a view that is shared by Johnson but rejected by religious scholars.

Randall Balmer, an Episcopal priest and religious historian at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, told The Guardian, "Johnson has bought into the malignant cancer about America being a Christian nation, which Barton has propagated.

“For Barton and Johnson to subvert the First Amendment is both dishonest and myopic — dishonest because the founders were abundantly clear that they intended church and state to be separate entities, myopic because the lack of a religious establishment, the separation of church and state, has been the best friend that religion ever had."

David A. Hollinger, who teaches religious history at the University of California, Berkeley, is equally critical of Johnson — telling the Guardian, "It is dangerous to the country that the speaker of the House is relying for his understanding of American history on a writer who has zero credibility in the history profession."
