  • The Left wants a King to replace the Queen

    From ScottW@21:1/5 to All on Thu Nov 2 19:36:44 2023
    "The Daily Beast is furious that @SpeakerJohnson isn’t rich, corrupt or rich from being corrupt. He doesn’t have shady business deals. He doesn’t trade stocks as a congressman," Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., posted on X. "Cry more, I guess?"

    Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, added, "So, to extent accurate, he’s like a lot of Americans right now while also navigating raising a large family? What a monster."

    Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., wrote, "So the Daily Beast wants people to be mad that Speaker Johnson isn’t corrupt and hasn’t used his office to enrich himself? This is how out of touch these guys are."

    Author Tim Carney joked, "Who let in the poors?!?"

    I didn't know the guy. And since he doesn't rep my district...why should I?
    He is taking care of business to finish an actual budget as required of congress.
    For that he should be applauded.

    Haven't you left out something? This reads like a shadow review from
    Plato's Cave.

    A grown-up would know to actually say what he's talking about. This
    appears to be about Mike Johnson. Come to light so far:

    At age 25, took some form of control of a 14-year-old. Even SNL caught
    on to that one.

    Represented the Kentucky Ark park to retain state funding despite openly discriminatory hiring practices.

    Was titular dean of a would-be Christian law school that never opened.

    Elected to heavily Republican districts, including twice unopposed.

    In a "covenant" marriage, a voluntary category that forgoes the
    advantages of no-fault divorce.

    Your quotes are about finances...

    https://newrepublic.com/post/176550/where-mike-johnson-money-bank-account

    Looks like your spokes peeps above are strawmaning the Daily Beast,
    trying to recast his bizarrely empty financial disclosure form as a
    typical everyman situation.

    Who doesn't have a bank account? To answer Tim Carney, anyone making congressional representative money isn't a "poor."

    His young family took a 16 year old from a broken home in off the street.
    By all accounts, the young man was blessed and is doing very well thanks to them.

    What kind of shit does a person have to be to slime and smear what amounts to one of the most noble deeds a person can undertake?

    That's you....democrat scumsucking muckraker.

    Public statements are not clear on that.

    By all accounts, the young man was blessed and is doing very well thanks to them.

    Daily Mail, not known for being a big supporter of the Democratic Party.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12698545/House-Speaker-Mike-Johnsons-adopted-son-court-drug-brass-knuckles.html

    "Michael James began to gravitate towards drugs and petty crime despite
    the intervention of Johnson and his wife."

    There's an account to the contrary.

    What kind of shit does a person have to be to slime and smear what amounts to one of the most noble deeds a person can undertake?

    Taking in a teen without adopting them?

    That's you....democrat scumsucking muckraker.

    What was that you were saying in the other thread about attacking the messenger? Were you for it or against?

    However, I agree in general that offspring of public figures shouldn't
    be singled out for investigation and salacious publicity.
