M.J. sold his soul for power. Why does he even bother pretending?

fredrovet.bsky.social•146 days ago

Mike Johnson is a CINO*…pious talk and less than Christ-like actions.

*Christian In Name Only

libend.bsky.social•146 days ago

In the Government of One there is no balance of power. Trump and all branches of government will see to it that the American system is shattered

Trump, Musk and Johnson- the new triumvirate!?

Someone should tally up all the federal grants Louisiana is about to lose and send Mike a note.

This is how authoritarianism works.

hettysansthegreen.bsky.social•146 days ago

I would say he acts more like an obsequious intern that was a legacy applicant who would have flunked out had his mommy not called the dean.

queenief.bsky.social•146 days ago

That is why we should just refer to him as “trump’s little Johnson”

pbcf.bsky.social•146 days ago

This is what I will call him. Thank you for this.

witchcolby.bsky.social•146 days ago

Good one!

gregpbates.bsky.social•146 days ago

He is nobody without Trump. And he knows it.

neilsuits.bsky.social•146 days ago

Actually, if you look closely, you’ll see that he is blinking a secret message in Morse code.

This very courageous, because if his minders found out, there would be dire consequences.

independentmedia.bsky.social•146 days ago

Mike Johnson reminds me of Salacious Crumb who was there just to cackle at whatever Jabba said.

margeandfriday.bsky.social•146 days ago

That's accurate. And factual.

Speaker Johnson and House Republicans love being WIMPS to Trump. 2026 is just around the corner. Their sorry asses will be VOTED OUT.

usmcwizard.bsky.social•146 days ago

And, BTW, why are we taxpayers paying for their 'retreat' at Felon34-In-Chief's property when they could/should stay in DC WORKING? I thought they were so worried about fiscal responsibility and cutting expenses? That expense should have been right at the top of the list.

Abdication

What makes little Mike Johnson most despicable is how deeply he cloaks himself in Jesus while smugly grinning about being cruel and inhumane. Such as "taking a blowtorch" to Healthcare. He is a especially evil.

thepistonliston.bsky.social•146 days ago

Is the Jesus stuff a complete act ? How do they justify being so cruel to the downtrodden if it’s not.

independentmedia.bsky.social•146 days ago

It's the belief in God without humility, full of hubris and lacking of any empathy.

Another hit-man in the trump criminal organization ready to beat-down democracy in the name of the 2x impeached, convicted felon/sex abuser/business fraud! Greater America knows these are not men who do anything for America - only to save their asses from being fired!

habsfan1954.bsky.social•146 days ago

"Partner" seems generous. Maybe "lackey"?
Pool boy"?

allanschlosser.bsky.social•146 days ago

Mike Johnson has somehow managed to regress from lightweight House Speaker to total Trump toady.

growinpeace.bsky.social•146 days ago

Trump's Little Johnson

racing09.bsky.social•146 days ago

jeromeallen.bsky.social•146 days ago

Partner? Lackey, yes. Toady, sure. Sycophant, absolutely. “Partner” implies equality, not a concept for the Orange Caligula.

lynnm59.bsky.social•146 days ago

If GOP congressmen aren’t careful they will make themselves redundant and out of a job. Let’s see if anyone can find a spine in the next few weeks. Clearly the speaker won’t

Good point.

davemc5192.bsky.social•146 days ago

Fine. But enough of fawning & crowing about these dodgy EO’s. Let’s see him try & do his job as House Leader & get some of Trumps actual legislation passed on the House floor. Let’s see him get a House majority for all this bullsh*t stuff.

dannyblanchy.bsky.social•146 days ago

liberaloifveteran.bsky.social•146 days ago

Or as one would say, a "cuckservative."

bendersae.bsky.social•146 days ago

He’s not the first. The leaders of the House, the Senate, and lately even the Judiciary have all abdicated any resemblance of a co-equal branch of government. This is especially true when Republicans hold these offices. The founders imagined the branches as checks against each other, not as a team.

richardkay80.bsky.social•146 days ago

Junior partner? More like a houseboy.

outstatewi.bsky.social•146 days ago

Not unlike the other members of the *legislative branch*. They’re mostly just Trump’s aides now.

I gotta think this is, in part, because he's a tiny man of no accomplishments.

destcygnusx1.bsky.social•146 days ago

He misunderstood the job description, he thought that Speaker of the House was basically Trump's spokesperson in the House.

He's a Louisiana shrimp, and has found himself in hot sauce.

In the Banana Republic of Trump, he is expected to do that.

The Republicans in Congress, in addition to being corrupt, are cowards and hacks. They are merely servants to Trump and the billionaires. Shameful and disgraceful. They all must be voted out!

angie5967.bsky.social•146 days ago

Mike Johnson is the least sincere follower of Jesus Christ on the scene today. What a Pharisee. Exactly who Jesus condemned.

dickius.bsky.social•146 days ago

He’s not Jewish.

angie5967.bsky.social•146 days ago

I know. Using it as a type of person who is missing the entire point of Jesus' message and yet presents as religiously superior. Maybe I misused the term.

dickius.bsky.social•146 days ago

Pharisees are the religious forebears of essentially all contemporary Jews. It’s not so much that we miss the point of Jesus’s message as that we’re not concerned with Jesus.

angie5967.bsky.social•146 days ago

Okay thanks. Mike Johnson doesn't seem to be truly concerned with the teachings of Jesus either. He claims to be though, and makes quite the show of it.

dickius.bsky.social•146 days ago

I’m reasonably sure you’re correct. I just think there are better ways to criticize him than calling him a Jew.

used2balawyer.bsky.social•146 days ago

That’s because he is.

bethcokid.bsky.social•146 days ago

I actually cringe listening to him, Trump and all of the MAGA losers.

ctgram.bsky.social•146 days ago

I don't listen to him, or Felon 47, or any of the various maga assholes. Every one of them lies every time they open their shitty mouths when anyone puts a mic in their faces. It's all performative with them.

bethcokid.bsky.social•146 days ago

I agree with you but while I detest them, I want to know WTF they are doing to our country. I don’t trust ANY of them and their surrogates are nauseating.

georgiegetsit.bsky.social•146 days ago

To be such a self-professed devout "Christian," Mikey sure seems confused about the proper purpose of falling to one's knees..... 🥴

ravenna321.bsky.social•146 days ago

Yes, what I don't understand is why members of the GOP are so quick to hand over their power to him. Isn't that what they sold their souls for? Now they're giving it away. A king doesn't need congress.

hobbesjosh.bsky.social•146 days ago

Because they know they will lose their power if they oppose him in any way. So they love the power if it just means making him happy.
