Who? I'm hearing all this stuff that he's MAGA and very religious yet the first vote was unanimous. Hmmmm. Yeah okay. All Swamp creatures until they're not. IMHO

Maybe if you wish upon a star Lennin will come back to you and you can finally be free of all these evil capitalists.

@RedBreast21, you are new here so you might not know, @Mosinitis here is a self avowed communist and Stalin apologist. Its true.

Ah....okay.

[Podmonkey]

Ah....okay.

It's absolutely true, ask anyone around here.
Unless you condone that sort of thing. Clearly I do not.

 

[FP1201]

Never heard of him before now, being farther Right isn't an issue, time will tell...not like we've had unknowns suddenly become President.

@Podmonkey is a typical low IQ indoctrinated zombie. Has strong opinions about things he doesn't know and doesn't understand. When challenged on his extreme beliefs and historical inaccuracies, he responds with strawman labels. It's not surprising he didn't achieve anything in life.

Do you know what your IQ is?
I received numerous IQ tests throughout my schooling years as well as before and after my military service. My IQ score is not low.
I think most people here can perceive that.
It's one of the reasons I am anti-communist.

As I posted in the McCarthy thread...

Matt Gaetz did a good job spearheading the effort to oust Kevin McCarthy. It was a risky move but it had to be done and it seems to have paid off.

The left is triggered by "MAGA Mike" Johnson being the new Speaker of the House. Come to find out the left really hates this guy so that could be a sign that he is the right guy for the job.

I agree but good old Mike Pence sticks in the back of my mind.

We are all a part of intellectually bankrupt system where public is divided into two camps and pitted against each other by hyperbolizing and mislabeling opposite camp. For people at the top it's just a game. Dumb ones at the bottom take it at face value and go crazy with it. I am not committed to any ideology, I seek the truth. There are good people and good arguments on both sides and these arguments often converge.

Problem is, (Glenn Beck called it years ago), the Overton window has moved so far left that center is now what we used to call the left wing. Meaning the Repubs are the new democrats and the democrats are now communist.

 

[Mosinitis]

I remember when Democrats used to be antiwar and Republicans prowar. Seems the movement was in the opposite directions, at least on that issue. Degrading of the society in general, is more cultural than ideological.

I only remember back to LBJ (D) and his insistence and skull doggery to get us into Vietnam.

It took that many words to express such a milquetoast, basic bitch sentiment huh?

Telling you to go fuck yourself would be more tempting, but it's a violation of forum rules.

I went back to more recent times, but I see your point.

I remember back to H.W. and Dubbya Bush and their insistence and skull doggery to get us into Iraq and...

Libertarians are now considered far right.

Because things have moved so far to the left that anything except hard core Marxism is right wing.

Libertarians are the center, on any reasonable scale.

The best part of all that is all those Democrats who sided with Gaetz to get rid of McCarthy. Talk about Karma.

I wouldn't know him from Adam. Watched his interview on Hannity, it looked like a globalist love fest. Will see what he actually does as a speaker.

 

[Bigfoot]

What do you think is the first thing Speaker Johnson should do to set the tone of his leadership?

I'm thinking first off, is to kick Joe Biden Barrack Hussein Obama right in the fucking nuts.

And then he should subpoena Kathy Hochul's unconstitutional eyebrows and put them under oath.

Close the border.

Close the border.

Woo Hoo!

It certainly was a risky move, but justified (don't keep your promises, it only takes one to ask for your removal per the agreement). Gaetz threatened, McCarthy said OK smart guy bring it on and Gaetz said OK smart guy, I will and he did. It did not seem that there was a good plan in place to replace McCarthy and then things were really looking up with Jordan in the running and what seemed close to winning it.

I don't know about you all, but things were looking dim for our hero when Jordan's candidacy went down the drain and then Emmer was in the running (that would have been a nightmare like Paul Ryan). At this point Big Mike Johnson seems like more than we could hope for. Proof is in the pudding and we shall see, but the first bill brought to the floor and passed bodes well for us during the remainder of this congress (appropriation bill, not an omnibus bill).
