The Absurd GOP

[ShinyCrystals]

Yeah, I know.

I just still think they are being taken advantage of, and being used to make those like them look bad by the republican party. I think the non-white, non-male republicans are being used here.

I did say this is most likely not in a direct way, and this may even be unintentional, but it is just a thought I had in mind.

I wasn't correcting you, just adding my own views too. I do think that they are being used -- but I also think they are complicit in it. Hence my comment about selling their souls.

Yeah, kinda figured, but couldn't tell. Still, I do realize what you mean by selling their souls as you described.

The House GOP’s election of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), the architect of the conference’s legal strategy for challenging President Biden’s presidential win in 2020, is putting election denialism back to the center of the national conversation.

[...]

Republicans after picking Johnson didn’t want to talk about his role in challenging Biden’s victory; when an ABC News reporter tried to ask Johnson about his 2020 efforts, she was booed by several members while Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) told her to “shut up.”

To Democrats, Johnson’s rise was clear evidence of the former president’s grip on the party. The brief selection of Emmer, after Republicans had rejected two conservatives in Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) and Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, had been a victory for the center, said former House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.).

“They moved right the first two times, and then when they moved to the center, that center lasted four hours,” he noted. “And Trump dictated that that was not an acceptable choice. And so he was rejected out of hand.”

With what Mike Johnson wants to do with the United States, anyone who wants to turn the USA into a Christian theocracy (in Mike’s case) or remove all rights and freedom and get rid of the constitution (in Trump’s case) is not for this country at all, and are no better than traitors, or are traitors even.

Thinking is very hard, it is best to let others do it for me.

Mike Johnson’s Wife Takes Down Website That Compared Being Gay To Bestiality, Incest

House Speaker Mike Johnson’s wife took down the website for her company, Onward Christian Counseling Services, a day after HuffPost pointed to documents on the site that compared homosexuality to bestiality and incest.

HuffPost reported Friday that Kelly Johnson, the wife of the Louisiana Republican and newly elected speaker, is owner and CEO of Onward Christian Counseling Services, which promotes Bible-based pastoral counseling. Her website featured a link to its 2017 operating agreement, which lays out the company’s corporate bylaws ― and states that the business is grounded in the belief that sex is offensive to God if it is not between a man and a woman married to each other.

It specifically puts gay, bisexual and transgender people in the same category as people who have sex with animals or family members, citing all of them as examples of “sexual immorality.”

“We believe and the Bible teaches that any form of sexual immorality, such as adultery, fornication, homosexuality, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, pornography or any attempt to change one’s sex, or disagreement with one’s biological sex, is sinful and offensive to God,” reads a passage from the eight-page business document.

This document also refers to “pre-born babies” and says that Onward Christian Counseling Services is committed to protecting all human life, “from conception through natural death.”

She didn't take it down because it said any of that stuff. She took it down because her whole scam begs the question of whether her hubs is a demo model. A walking testimonial for gay conversions and covenant marriage.
