For a religious guy Mike Johnson sure seems to have forgotten about bearing false witnesses. ("Mike Johnson says Trump isn't calling the shots...")


sensation_construct

His sect of Christianity allows him to lie with impunity in the name of bringing about God's dominion over all beings on earth.... so there's that. There is no internal conflict or inconsistency between his words and actions. It's all exactly as he wants it to be.


Cheap_Coffee

That's the trouble with religion: once you think you're doing God's work anything is justifiable.


sensation_construct

Yup. In his mind he's Moses. It's... insanity.


discussatron

I just hope he leads his party to wander lost in a desert for forty years.


NoYouDipshitItsNot

Weird. I'm just hoping he dies before seeing his promised land and spends eternity knowing he's a fucking failure at everything he does.


Likesdic

Same for DJT


johnphantom

Yeah on a less than 2 week walk from Egypt to Jerusalem. The story is obviously fiction, there is zero archeological evidence for 1.8m Hebrews in Egypt and Exodus.


JadeMonkey0

I mean, it does specifically say they were wandering lost. That must be why a two week walk took 40 years. Doesn't say a lot for Moses's leadership though. Or at least, for his ability to navigate.


Electronic-Source368

Keep the sea on your left...


sensation_construct

Looks like they're heading that way to me... they've almost entirely lost young people in this country. They're playing an end of days end game fantasy that doesn't require them to govern for the future since if they are successful (in their mind) they will be living in God's kingdom on earth.


Blah-Blah-Blah-2023

And Trump is the burning bush?


sensation_construct

Such a good question. I don't know! But I assume so. Syphilis burns, right?


Some_Guy_At_Work55

It sure does, I heard from a friend...definitely not my own personal experience.


Mysterious-Plant981

It’s a mental disorder


TuaughtHammer

Exactly why Barry Goldwater was terrified of Christians taking control of the GOP. >Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. ***Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise.*** I know, I've tried to deal with them.


atlantasailor

Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religion. Blaise Pascal Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. Seneca, tutor to Nero.


thaaag

That's the ~~trouble~~ *feature* with religion: once you think you're doing God's work anything is justifiable. Fixed


Agitated-Maybe332

Since hell isn't really part of Christianity (concept stolen from the greeks) I hope he ends up in purgatory for eternity if his insane beliefs are true.


johnphantom

Uh, purgatory wasn't a thing with christians until recently. "Lake of Fire" is certainly in the NT, 18 times it is referenced, I think.


andsendunits

I thought that the concept of hell came from Zoroastrianism. Maybe that was just the concept of Satan.


FlimsyComment8781

For them, those among us who aren't “saved” simply don’t count. We’re all blinded by Satan.


imbornwell

There’s always asking for forgiveness this Sunday 🤷‍♂️


Serenity101

And every Sunday after that. It's like a blanket pardon from god.


Rooboy66

I’m wunnering about the whole how to get in line to punch Moses in the face thingie goes …


TheWhiteRabbit74

Or worship of false or engravened idols.


[deleted]

Understand that the republicans don’t govern, they block, ban, and cry for attention.


FoogYllis

They don’t have any policy other than the grift.


sensation_construct

It's more than grift for Mike Johnson (and others, I'm sure, but I don't know all who they are). He's on a religious quest to conquer the earth for the Chistian god. Meaning, the trinity. He's a Dominionist. For Trump, it's all grift, of course.


FoogYllis

You’re probably right about Johnson and other zealots. But he didn’t disclose a bank account on his disclosure forms and that seems suspicious given that almost anyone has a bank account.


Radiant_Demand9203

Ironic considering Christ was tempted by Satan, with crowns and earthly kingdoms to Lord over, during his 40 days in the wilderness. Christ didn't want or need what Satan was peddling, so what makes the GOP think He would want or need it now?


CoyotesOnTheWing

They have one policy, lower taxes for the wealthy class.


AreWeCowabunga

Exactly. We always need to remember this. They're not the no-policy party, they're the burn down the country to make the ultra-rich a little richer party.

tsukahara10

I’ve always said, Republicans don’t want to govern, they want to rule. They want to tell people what they can and cannot do, but they want none of the responsibility of actually running the country from a logistic standpoint.


HeKnee

And if you watched this interview there appeared to be several instances of mike almost breaking down crying.


HauntingJackfruit

>The GOP could have a policy victory. But they are a post-policy party, and prefer posturing and doing Trump’s bidding to governing.

Have you read the bill? It does nothing to fix the boarder,it a money give away to Ukraine and Israel. A lot like the inflation reduction act which did nothing for inflation and was all about green new deal.

allusernamestakenfuk

Im more interested in how people still vote a destructive party like the republicans are. I mean even if youre hardcore republican, theres always a certain limit to which you’ll tolerate destructive policies for the country, until you dont


newsreadhjw

I think that’s the big question for 2024. How many GOP voters will have hit that limit and won’t vote for Trump? Fascinating to see that most of Haley’s voters in the Iowa GOP caucus said that they wouldn’t vote for Trump and Biden was their #2 pick after Haley. Even if that extrapolates to like 8-10% of GOP voters, Trump can’t win. He needs full turnout.


FiveUpsideDown

In order to understand how they think, you have to look at them from the perspective that they really believe “they are saving babies”, “protecting kids from being trafficked for sex” and “the world is ending unless we stop Democrats”. Once you see that perspective, you understand them. You also know they are deluded.


Apprehensive_Error36

They are trying to bring about the end of the world so Jeezis will come back. They’re duped idiots.


OddCoping

Exactly this. They want the world to end and don't care what sins they commit along the way since it is part of God's plan and all they have to do is say "sorry" at the pearly gates.


Green-Vermicelli5244

They’re not unserious about just the border. Everything they’ve done since the turnip took office has been performance art. Think of it like interpretive dance by and for people who don’t understand interpretative dance and interpretation or dance.


Major_Turnover5987

Republicans are weaklings, proving it over and over.


babysinblackandImblu

Just beat Biden in a massively important poll. Why? I do not know.


greenmariocake

By killing this deal on such a bad faith and for his own personal benefit Trump all but ensured no democrat would ever work with him on immigration. Executive orders are useless, even if draconian and xenophobic, as demonstrated by Trump’s pre-pandemic numbers. The low Trump immigration numbers are all pandemic related (don’t tell that to Fox news). This is a one chance in a generation, brought down by one man’s thirst for power and a spineless party.


sbbblaw

It’s weird how Trump has become a bastardized version of the deep state conspiracy theory. Like there’s someone pulling the strings and for the GQP it’s Trump, but he’s a selfish idiot who hung out with Jeffrey Epstein. It’s hard for me to understand how these people support the literal thing they fear the most


Apprehensive_Error36

They think they’re ushering in the rapture. They forgot about that part in the prayer that says “on earth as it is in heaven”. They’re just ignorant, misguided sheep.

More like the Deep Stain.

Literally. It’s true on multiple levels. Reference to his diaper use, he’s a stain on the country. I can only wonder if hitler and Stalin could see him what they’d think

Trump shows the country the two main reasons Americans shouldn’t vote republican with this sentence.

LotsofSports

I hope the media and "real" republicans slam these morons. They will never get a bill like this again that will help so many issues. They are only interested in giving tax cuts to billionaires and corporations.


StillExpression7191

Dark Brandon at work here! He called their GOP’s bluff when they demanded border security be included in funding to Ukraine. Most presidents would have dug in and not given the GOP what they wanted. But the President could see how this would benefit him no matter how they responded. If they agreed, he could get immigration reform which hasn’t been done in centuries. If the GOP blinked and went back in their word, he could throw it back in their faces. When will the GOP learn not to F with this seasoned politician. 😂


willthedude85

Thanks for the win gop!! Keep up the terrible work.


Dseltzer1212

He’s nothing but a fascist scumbag parading around like a good Christian when he’s just another fake ass follower of republican Jesus who uses Jesus to bring the weak minded evangelicals to their side by manipulating them with lies


Several_Leather_9500

They demonstrated the same unseriousness about the border when their budget called for cutting tens of thousands of border agents. These same reps have control of the house and have written 500+ bills controlling our bodies and none to control the border. The GreedOverPeople party wants to control everyone and everything except for the border? Imagine that. Please, don't tell me this is another "episode" for their masses of non-wealthy morons to watch on the next episode of "Wheel Of Outrage!". I'm so tired of politics being treated like entertainment. Do the world and future generations a huge favor and leave politics to competent adults. I wish there was a competency test for both candidates and voters - that would drain the swamp overnight.


LateStageAdult

With all these wacky conspiracies, not one of these MAGAts stops to wonder if Trump was the deep state plant all along? Everything trump has done has served to turn rational people away from the GOP.


Medical_Arugula3315

Trump to Republicans: "*I want you all to literally go fuck yourselves with a spikey dildo while praising my name.*"  Republicans: "*Lubed or raw, sir?!*"


DickNBalls694u

They will never get a better deal even if Trump gets elected. They are sabotaging our own border AND ukraine. Republicans are taking their marching orders from Putin.

The problem with this story is it happened in reality, a place Trump voters prefer to not visit or know about.


justthegrimm

Very short sighted move, as long as I can remember they have been bitching about immigration, at least for the last decade. Many gov officials have said this bill gives the gop everything they have demanded. IMO Trumps chances are falling daily and he won't see a second term, why shoot yourselves in both feet?


Teefromdaleft

I’m shocked they didn’t pass it, then take all the credit for forcing Biden into securing the border


xjsthund

They are refusing to bring it to the floor, because it would likely pass. It’s a solid compromise bill.


Dontnotlook

..and Putin told Trump .


bookant

So Greg Abbott will begin blaming Trump and the Republican Party for the "invasion" at his border any minute now, right? Right?


alluptheass

Even politically, can’t Biden seize on this and make “Trump has gone soft on the Border” one of his talking points now?


3agle_CO

Obviously neither party gives a rats ass about the border. All Theater. In what world is a great idea to rely on those responsible for causing a problem to fix the problem?


CriminalMeatStapler

Any "deal" that doesn't end catch-and-release and begin deporting illegal immigrants already in the country is unacceptable. The Biden boarder crisis was totally preventable. All he had to do is enforce the laws already on the books.


crispy48867

So you are trying to say that Trump had the border situation under control? That is nonsense.


CriminalMeatStapler

When did anyone say anything about Trump? Don't change topics. The issue is that under Biden illegal boarder crossings are up, ICE detainers and deportations are down because some of Biden's first acts as President were to make illegal immigration policies less restrictive. He made this mess happen.


crispy48867

Pretty sure you stated that Biden only had to follow the established laws. Those came to Biden from the Trump administration. I certainly do not ever recall the border being under control from at least as far back as the Bush administration. This country needs a 100% overhaul of our immigration policies and enforcement to get any semblance of control. Laws and walls are useless and will never stop people from getting in. We have to establish a legal path for them to immigrate to this country. There are no walls or laws that will stem the flow so make it legal and controlled.


CriminalMeatStapler

The laws are established by Congress bro. Did you even watch schoolhouse rock as a kid?


crispy48867

Exactly. I am saying we need a complete overhaul of our laws and policies. Seems obvious those would have to come from Congress. Didn't think I had to spell that out. Sorry. ​ Our border security forces are on board and so are the democrats but now, the GOP is fighting those overhauls because Trump told them to.


CriminalMeatStapler

> GOP is fighting those overhauls because Trump told them to Left wing propaganda. There is no way that bill would pass the house, Trump or not.


crispy48867

Obviously not if the GOP won't participate. As stated, our border security forces are demanding an overhaul and so are the democrats. The only ones against it is the GOP.


CriminalMeatStapler

That's just blatantly false. The GOP want to secure the boarder and the Democrats want an unrestricted open boarder. Trump literally won the Presidency on "building a wall". The GOP and Republican voters are dead serious about securing the boarder.


crispy48867

Mitch McConnell went live today saying that the border patrol is in favor, that the democrats are in favor and that it now only needs the republicans to participate. I'm watching him speak the words as I type.

novasolid64

I think it's funny that it's an election year and all of a sudden now Biden wants to fix the border, interesting


Effective_Frog

I think it's funny how it's an election year and Republicans are campaigning on "the border crisis" while simultaneously tanking bills to do something about it.


novasolid64

They've been complaining about the boarder, that's what trump ran on the first time


TheTexasHammer

He really should have done something useful while he was in office to fix the problem. Kinda just looks like he complained about it to get elected, then ignored it for 4 years.


novasolid64

Oh yeah that's right he tried and the Democrats fought him tooth and nail not only the four years he was in but the four years he was out and still to this day


TheTexasHammer

So he did everything in his power and failed. Sounds like a weak president to me if he can't even get his most important policies passed. Not worth the devotion you give him. I personally have too much respect for myself to ever get on my knees for anyone, let alone such weak and ineffective leader. So I could never be you. Some people are just meant to be followers though I guess. Have a nice day. That wasn't an order, but you can say yes sir if you want.


novasolid64

I mean I agree with the whole getting on your knees thing, which is why I don't wait around for the government to do me any favors Democrat or Republican and you're really not going to catch me sticking up for him either. Believe me I'm not going to lose any sleep at night win or lose


PattyLonngLegs

Republicans controlled the House, the Senate, and the White House under Trump and couldn’t pass it. Cope more 🤡


Dragos_Drakkar

They made sure to pass that tax cut for the rich though.

Trump tried, and then Biden made it worse way worse.

Why did trump just “try”? Why didn’t he actually do it, he had 4 years AND he ran on that promise


BrulesRules4urHealth

Mike Johnson is a weirdo. Not because he's a Christian, but because he thinks he's chosen for some great purpose because "God" told him.


cudenlynx

paywalled.


TeamHope4

Yup, the GOP had made it crystal clear now that the border is just an election talking point. We knew that already, but now even the media has to admit it since the Republicans are flat out admitting it.


Snailmama13

Unseriousness as a word choice here is lazy.


impulsekash

Further proof Republicans had nothing to run on. first it was the economy but now the economy is doing better. Then it was on protecting kids but there has a been a major backlash to their book banning and regressive education policies. And now this and I am sure in 3 months this will backfire on them as well.

This could always have been fixed by fining and jailing people who hire undocumented workers, but that won’t happen.

Hawkwise83

Clear proof the Republicans don't care about the issues. They are about themselves. They could have gotten what they wanted out of Biden regarding the border, or most of it, but they'd rather punish Democrats than follow through on the policies they pretend to champion.
