He’s a pile of shit in a tie. That entire state should slide into the Gulf.
I don’t doubt that trump, and putin, must be so happy right now. Hopefully, their joy is short lived when we vote MAGA out of the majority in 2024.
I think that’s accurate.
Johnson
* does not believe in anthropogenic climate change
* is a young earth creationist
* wants nationwide abortion ban
* believes individual states should be able to prohibit same-sex marriage
* argued for student-led prayer and religious expression in public schools
* signed an amicus brief in support of Texas v. Pennsylvania, a lawsuit filed at the United States Supreme Court contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election
* is opposed to medical marijuana
He’s not wrong, this guy thinks that Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme. If he has his way your grandma will be forced to eat cat food.
We should honestly stop acting like he is his own person who will lead with his own independent views.
He’s a puppet of Trump. He will do as Trump directs.
Feel like that’s kind of stating the obvious…
Mike Johnson is a literal young Earth creationist. He believes our planet is no more than 10,000 years old. He also believes that the tale of Noah’s Ark was a real life event.
Is this better or worse than no speaker at all?
Literally just watch this guy start preaching the bible. Ugh.
Words don’t hurt them.
Hakeem Jeffries accurately describes political orientation of member of congress
The Republicans finally found a fascist they could agree on.
> Jeffries calls Mike Johnson an ‘extreme right-wing ideologue’
Seems like all the republicans are extreme right ideologues.
Mike Johnson sounds like the embodiment of everything that is wrong with this country. Naturally, he has been elected Speaker of the House.
He could have just said “republican” since they all voted for him. No point in making it seem like he’s any different than the rest.
Meh, he’s whatever trump tells him to be….
Most of the clowns on the right have no backbone and don’t actually stand for anything other than what their daddy tells them to
After weeks of deliberations, the GOPQ elected a white Christian Nationalist, election denier homophobe, and put him 2 heartbeats away from becoming President of the United States.
And a traitor to America
I know it’s good to be cordial with your co-workers, but Jefferies gave him a hug when he handed over the gavel.
Jeffries is correct Johnson is an extremist right wing maga wingnut that tried to overthrow our democracy
I’m guessing Jeffries is also worried that, even though remaining less competent than Democrats, they’ll do significantly better now.
I read that the almost eternal pattern in the authoritarian, hierarchical Republican caucus has been for a strong, ruthless faction to become dominant and for the rest to usually submit to it. (We’ve been seeing that submission continue as the dominant faction becomes more and more extremist, traitorous, and scary-ruthless.)
So the bloodbath that followed the “establishment” faction’s attempt at leadership now may have restored something of their caucus’s “natural order.” 2023 asylum version, but still an end to much of the chaos. And they have Trump’s support. While they can keep it.
“extreme right-wing ideology” is a P C way of saying, Nut Job.
Republicans in interviews: “WE’RE JUST GOING TO LET THE CRAZY 8 RUN THIS CIRCUS?!”
Republicans in action: let’s the crazy 8 run the circus
Democrat: says true thing
News media: OMG DID YOU REALLY SAY THAT
Seems he’s even more batshit crazy than I thought. This isn’t your Jimmy Carter type of Christian. This is a science denying, woman hating, homophobic, Christofascist.
I’d say christofacist would be more accurate
He’s a Republican, so…yes?
He said he is the youngest of 4 kids and his mom was 17 when he was born. How old was mom when she got married?
If this news scares or bothers you, get involved to get these Rs out of office.

I read his bio, likely true. It’s not “Jockstrap” Jim at least.
Aren’t you just describing the Republican party? Lol. Like is anyone surprised?
The only justification for Hakeem Jeffries’ claims for the new speaker being an “extreme right wing ideologue” is that Mike Johnson is an extreme right wing ideologue.
putting extreme fundamentalist Christian front and center is going to destroy plausible deniability for the GOP. I think before this point they had some cover, some pretense, but this is a mask off moment. Even Jordan would have given them less electoral problems than this guy.
Where does he stand on Ukraine aid?
He’s a seditionist that should be tried for his treason and face the harshest penalties that can be administered if found guilty.
hes right too
Christofascist. The word you’re looking for is Christofascist
He’s basically the worst parts of Jordan and Scalise rolled into one
What is getting lost in the shuffle of the crazy coming out of the Republican party —
I mean the new Speaker once wrote in 2004, that
same sex marriages could lead to people marrying
their pets —
is that the new MAGA Republican Speaker and his party want to dismantle Medicare and Social Security, the safety nets for millions of senior citizens in America. Mike Johnson has previously proposed $Trillions in cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid and said this is a top priority.
He is, and people who are religious extremists don’t belong in our government.

“calls”? More like “reiterates” or “points out”
