Before Speaker Mike Johnson made the required pilgrimage to MAGA-Lardo to kiss Trump’s ass, hosts on Russian state TV discussed the meeting/ass-kissing as a deciding factor on whether Ukraine will receive more U.S. aid or not. While doing so, state TV host Olga Skabeeva claimed Johnson was “theirs,” just like Trump.
Johnson has been pushing a bill to provide more funding to Ukraine, but Marjorie Taylor Greene has threatened to forward a motion to oust him as speaker if he does so. To save his job, he traveled to Florida for a meeting with Trump for what they billed as an event on “election integrity,” which is like Jeffrey Dahmer hosting an event on the benefits of vegetarianism.
Kevin McCarthy made the same pilgrimage in 2021 to kiss Trump’s ass to save his position as the leader of House Republicans. To win Trump’s favor, he had to pledge the party would carry water for the election lie, that Trump won the 2020 election, it was stolen by Biden and Democrats, and there was widespread election fraud.
Republicans used these lies to change voting laws in several states to make it harder for Democrats, specifically minorities, to vote.
After Republicans barely took control of the House in 2021, Kevin was finally made Speaker, and his devotion and groveling to Trump got him less than a year on the job. Today, he’s not even a member of Congress. Speaking of cannibals, Republicans ate him. Now a few Republicans are wondering how Johnson would pair with fava beans and a nice chianti. So in order to save his ass, Johnson had to kiss Trump’s.
Greg Sargent wrote for the New Republic that Johnson demonstrated on Friday that Trump’s GOP is the party that’s “absolutely consumed with hallucinations, nightmares, and fantasies” about Jan. 6.
Trump and Johnson announced that the House will pursue a new bill requiring proof of citizenship to vote. Johnson pushed a mild version of the Great Replacement Theory, that Democrats are importing immigrants to vote. This is a huge lie that MAGAts love to push.
There is no greater threat to democracy and our elections than Donald Trump, MAGAts, and Republicans.
Johnson raised baseless concerns about “potentially hundreds of thousands of votes” being cast by undocumented immigrants in the November presidential election. He said anyone can claim they’re a U.S. citizen while registering to vote and it won’t be checked. This is a lie.
When a person registers to vote, they must provide a driver’s license or social security number, and their identity is checked against existing databases. Voters are required to swear under penalty of perjury that they are a US citizen, and multiple federal laws make it illegal for non-citizens to vote, which can lead to imprisonment or deportation.
Undocumented immigrants voting is a rare occurrence. The right-wing think tank Heritage Foundation found fewer than 100 incidents of undocumented immigrants voting between 2002 and 2022.
This bill requiring voters to prove they’re U.S. citizens is less about “election integrity” and more about lying optics.
Mike Johnson also stood by silently while racist Trump lied that Venezuela and the Congo are sending people from mental institutions to our border, that President Biden is orchestrating the criminal trials against him, and that “every legal scholar” wanted Roe overturned.
How much do you want to bet that Johnson stops pushing for more aid to Ukraine?
Johnson traveled to MAGA-Lardo and made a deal with the devil. He has a brown nose to prove it.

Why is an un-elected individual even being permitted to interfere in the running of the USA? Are we in some sort of third world dictatorship?

Hmm – I guess kissing tRump’s ass doesn’t qualify a sin on Johnson’s trusty little ‘anti-porn app’ that his son monitors for him. Probably a good thing, since that alarm would be going off at all hours of the day and night. The poor kid would never get any sleep! What a disgusting bunch of people make up the GOP. I would not want to be a member of that party – how shameful!

Why the “KISS” on the sippy cup?

I understand your pointing to trump’s ass as to not confuse it with the orange head. I just gotta say, Clay, we should talk COLOR. All are painfully aware of the pastey-white skin framing the forehead, jowls, you know, the face. While it pains me to think about this for too long, I believe that ass, realistically, would more likely be a similar color. Something really white. Maybe even whiter. Maybe a tinge of pink. The palest of pale-pink-white? Nothing leaning toward orange. We KNOW that’s a paint job.

Maybe it’s getting tan from being exposed so often due to all the kissing that gets done down at M-a-L? LOL! It’s probably seeing waaaay too much sunlight these days!
