Mike Johnson: 'Depraved' America Deserves God's Wrath

I cannot believe how every day more insane shit comes out about him. Lying about his finances, homophobia/transphobia, it just keeps going

Or maybe more people are thinking for themselves and not buying in to the BS.

beginning to believe his christo-fascist bullshit and Tuberville's logjam on top military brass are both preambles to the 2025 project the fucking Heritage Foundation is promoting.

Imagine for just one fucking second that an liberal group produced that fucking seditious, anti-american trash plan? There need to be hearings about this shit: your plan is to gut the government, deploy the military and set up camps day 1? WHAT THE FUCK?

THERE NEED TO BE HEARINGS ABOUT THIS SHIT.

Hey, Mike. Prove your god exists.

I have no reason to fear something that isn't demonstrably real. And neither do you.

Sincerely, an ex-fundigelical.

I wish the rapture was real so the rest of us could just get on with our lives without these manipulative greedy fucks

To think if this man hadn't accepted a nomination for the speaker of the house we would have never known how wack-a-doodle the man is. So crazy he doesn't even have a savings, checking or retirement account because he is so crazy and modest.

"And I'm the one to deliver it!"

Why is it that everyone who thinks their god wants to punish someone takes it upon themselves to do the punishing? Is god so fucking weak that he wants to punish us, but can't do it himself? If god wants to punish us, let him do it and Mike Johnson can stay the fuck out of it.

Talking to pastor Jim Garlow on a broadcast of the World Prayer Network, Johnson spoke ominously of America facing a “civilizational moment.” He said, “The only question is: Is God going to allow our nation to enter a time of judgment for our collective sins? … Or is he going to give us one more chance to restore the foundations and return to Him?”
The segment was filmed Oct. 3, just weeks before Johnson’s unexpected rise to become speaker of the House. Garlow pressed the clean-cut Louisiana congressman to say “more about this ‘time of judgment’ for America.” Johnson replied: “The culture is so dark and depraved that it almost seems irredeemable.” He cited, as supposed evidence, the decline of national church attendance and the rise of LGBTQ youth — the fact, Johnson lamented, that “one-in-four high school students identifies as something other than straight.”
Discussing the risk of divine retribution, Johnson invoked Sodom, the Old Testament city destroyed by God for its wickedness with a rain of burning sulfur. Johnson is a polished orator, but in a closing prayer with Garlow he grew tearful. Johnson intoned, “We repent for our sins individually and collectively. And we ask that You not give us the judgment that we clearly deserve.”

Oh no, gay people aren't being persecuted and people don't believe in my brand of absurdity. My imaginary friend hates that!

Hey Mike Johnson, stop grunting for the sun to come up every morning and just touch the monolith. It did wonders for the rest of us apes.

Who gives a shit if 1 in 4 high schools identifies as something other than straight?

How about focus on the actual commandments Jesus taught, which by the way, were: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" and "Love your neighbor as yourself". FFS.

God reveals himself to be real.

Smites the religious nutjobs that promote hate.

Does not elaborate.

Why does he care so much what kids identify as? its a little C R E E P Y

He certainly has been depraved, of fulfilling his dark fantasies since epstein got clocked out and the new ranch owners snuffed him, i bet.

How does anyone look at that picture, and think those people are perfectly normal?
How does anyone listen to Mike Johnson without concluding that man is crazy?
I'll tell you how, the only way is that they themselves are crazy too!

The Republican party is the greatest threat to national security we have

Every accusation is a confession, as per standard procedure.

Church used to feast with their people like 120 days out of the year.

Now pastors buy jet planes and mock those that didn't help them do it.

Make churches a place people want to share their lives and they will. otherwise we get enough teaching from how the profits look from here.

These people are just so weird. And this guy is the perfect representation of these conservative freaks.

I dunno, there's something so infuriating about having this guy purport to speak on behalf of all Americans when pretty obvs he hates most of us

And the depraved in the US are - tada! - Republican voters. God, feel free to purge.

Bunch of fucktards.

Separation of Church and State is just a myth right now. This is the problem right here, radicalized beliefs are dictating the governing in the country.

Mike Johnson can eat my asshole.

I've committed adultery; I've slept with married people, and I had sex outside of my marriage. I've had sex with men and women, all outside of marriage. I've been to sex clubs and orgies. More than one three-way and one more-than-three-way. I've made and participated in porn. I've been to strip clubs. Based on my experience, I'd say depravity is on the whole pretty damn fun, and I recommend depravity to my fellow Americans, although if you want to be monogamous that's fine too.

Love it or leave it, Mikey

I feel so, so bad for this man’s children :(

Your imaginary friend is mad, oh noes.

Anyone else remember when separation of church and state was a thing?

I totally agree wholeheartedly, Mr. Johns... oh, wait, you're not talking about yourselves? Never mind.

"one-in-four high school students identifies as something other than straight"

He knows that because he has their porn collection sent directly to his phone.

Well if god created them all, they can't be mistakes, right? Maybe the republican lawmakers are the ones who have strayed. Love your naighbour and all that?

With the biggest hedonists on earth hiding behind pulpits in churches, legislatures and boardrooms, of course he's going after people practicing actual love and intimacy with others.

This Garlow guy needs to be voted off the island stat

what a loser

Just you, Mike. Just you

But then again, there is probably no God so whatever.

And I'm glad I don't live in the us

I remember some YouTubers talking about how SBF was only capable of doing what he did because he had no moral compass and that his philosophy of Effective Altruism was the culprit. The they went on about how Christianity was the way to go. I'm like, you guys never met a Christian that used their God to justify anything? It's absolutely crazy.

Ssshh. They're using their imagination.

Can we start our own country? I wonder if we can terraform the great pacific garbage patch...

Is god's wrath measurable? Like, natural disaster rates or something? The gulf states sure get a lot of floods and hurricanes.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Talking to pastor Jim Garlow on a broadcast of the World Prayer Network, Johnson spoke ominously of America facing a “civilizational moment.” He said, “The only question is: Is God going to allow our nation to enter a time of judgment for our collective sins?

NAR leaders embrace “dominionism,” the concept that Christians are supposed to rise and rule over “the nations,” in order to bring the globe into a biblical alignment, in preparation for the second coming of Jesus.

In 2008, he played a leading role in promoting the passage of Prop 8 — a California initiative, rooted in anti-gay bigotry that for a time outlawed same-sex marriages in the state.

And with the power of God and the global praying church behind you, you shall recover all that the enemies have stolen.” (Separately, Garlow was dismissing the ideology of the incoming Biden-Harris ticket as “anti-Christ, anti-Biblical to its core.”)

The early-morning event was attended by leading Charismatic figures like the Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn and former presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, as well as more than a dozen members of Congress — including then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise.

The doleful day began with a bleat of a ram’s horn and introductory words from Garlow, who welcomed “Americans repenting for the sins of our nation.” Garlow then presented a stark warning, invoking two biblical kingdoms of Israel that he said squandered heavenly favor only to have God “take them out.” America, he suggested, was on that same path: “Present-day Americans do not consider the possibility that God could…” He stopped dramatically asking the assembly to “finish the sentence.”

Whatever happened to all the American leftists who love second amendment and love to quote Marx's 'Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary'?
