Mikey is a lying pos, and all the worse for claiming to be a moral man while supporting a criminal traitor.

Ole Liz may be having the biggest melt down here in her life in about two weeks ... Maybe she can do the prison sentence for her war criminal father.

@#2 ... Mikey is a lying pos, and all the worse for claiming to be a moral man ...

Well, yeah.

I saw some clips of a Sunday news show interview he did.

He was trying to deny that fmr Pres Trump ever said anything about using the military to go after fmr Spkr Pelosi and Rep Schiff.

Of course, Spkr Johnson's denial looked pretty lame (I'm being kind) when the video clip of fmr Pres Trump saying those things was shown.

Trump calls Schiff and Pelosi enemy from within' even after allies defend past comments
abc17news.com

... Donald Trump called Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi each "an enemy from within," even as the former president's Republican allies attempt to argue that his previous comments labeling political opponents as such are being misinterpreted.

"These are bad people. We have a lot of bad people. But when you look at Shifty Schiff' and some of the others, yeah, they are, to me, the enemy from within," Trump said in an interview on Fox News' "MediaBuzz" that aired Sunday.

Trump also called Pelosi an "enemy from within," falsely claiming the then-speaker of the House had the opportunity to protect the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. ...

Trump, in a separate interview on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" last week, had suggested using the military to handle what he called "the enemy from within" on Election Day. "I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within, not even the people that have come in and destroying our country." ...

Alex, this is a follow-up question to when Legally said Republicans needed to be shot by dogs. So I asked him if Trump won could we shoot him in the streets. Don't preach at me about civility.

Republicans needed to be shot by dogs.

Dogs have guns? Did anyone warn the Haitians?

Republicans needed to be shot by dogs.

Robot dogs or dogs with remote control rifles strapped on them?

Speaker Johnson is a nasty POS.

"Thou shall not bear false witness."

Johnson, a supposed man of God, believes that God will forgive him for his transgressions as long as they are for the greater good.

Honest Injun' ~ that's why religious hypocrites like Johnson feel justified when they continue to break God's Ten Commandments. (It's for the greater good, blah, blh, blah.)

And Johnson is not alone. I'm sure we all know somebody just like him.

Johnson will do 'whatever it takes' to see that, 'the Donald's will be done'...
forget God...God has nothing to do with 'the Trump'.

Jake Tapper wiped the floor with him over it.

It is quite telling how he can watch a video of P01135809 aka DonOLD McConold saying very clearly that he needs to go after "the enemy withing with the military" and then including Schiff, Pelosi, etc in that group and say he never said that all without changing that goofy smug look on his face.

He manages to break one of the ten commandments he claims to love so dearly every single day of the week.

Who on earth would want the job of running the insane herd of far right Republicans in the House? It can only end poorly for anyone and goodness knows it has cost some Republicans some respect.
Democracy requires two, at least two, political parties devoted to the rule of law and the concept of one person, one vote...and America is one party short.

The GOP only worships two things: wealth & power.

Sometimes I wish I was a christian because I would then be certain that a lot of "god-fearing" republicans would be roasting in hell in the afterlife.
