’s allies in the evangelical comm. see the apocalypse as desirable. Striving for peace & HR -goes against God’s will.

: belief -America was founded as, & intended by God to be, a Christian nation +ties b/w US & Israel.

Use demonization -portraying a person or grp as malevolent, sinful or evil -potential pretext for discrimination & violence.

Johnson was the chief whip for Donald Trump.
Mike Johnson led the efforts to overturn our election. He is anti-choice. He blocks our border security. He lies for criminal Donald Trump. He supports conversion therapy. Mike Johnson is a deranged white christian nationalist aka American nazi.

Johnson’s insane dominionist Christian nationalism, aka fascism dictates that the bible should drive decisions in government and white supremacists will rule over you and our treasury.

7 Mountains dominionist Johnson wrote the foreword to, and endorsed, a Pizzagate/QAnon book by a Holocaust-denying QAnon believer named Scott McKay aka Patriot Streetfighter. McKay is a self-described “digital soldier” for Mike Flynn.

Johnson threatens ICC sanctions vote over Netanyahu arrest warrant application.

Rep Roy has introduced a bill that would sanction ICC officials who investigate U.S. citizens or allies. It's supported by nearly two dozen other Republicans, including Rep Stefanik, chair of the House Republican Conference.

Odd scene. Came to park. Read from notes. Rushed off."

He knows that is guilty, but as the House Speaker, he's forced to toe the line by supporting the amoral traitor, no matter what he says or crime he's committed.

There's a reason to be hopeful for the aid package, but only if includes Gaza aid in the bill:

Rep Mikie Sherrill tells me Dems will only support Mike Johnson's bill if it includes Gaza humanitarian aid.

But she also says that if Dem concerns are met, many Ds will back it. Given her influence, that's a sign Ukraine aid may really happen:

I am calling out the in Congress as Putin-owned who support overthrow of our government.

and republicans' open fealty to Putin, a hostile foreign intelligence agent, who is one of the most infamous cold-blooded killers in human history & wanted war criminal.

Mike Johnson & republicans are blocking a bill that would supply ammunition to soldiers, despite the widespread support in Congress and support of the American people. Showing the world that Republicans are anti-American & disloyal traitors to our allies and our constitution.

, where is treason weasel ? He's a communist loving traitor.

Mike Johnson may have his own legal problems soon. He has possibly committed fraud on financial declarations to Congress, therein attested he has no bank accounts. Clearly hiding his bank accounts. And he has taking campaign cash from Russians closely affiliated with Putin. He lead the efforts to overturn the election and knowingly peddled . Dominion & Smartmatic voting companies should sue his/add to the defamation lawsuits.

Let's stay on this . I can make a report to the fbi, if we get any good info.

Any American supporting or coddling putin disgusts me to my core. The GQP aka Republicans are implicit in not only his death, but the deaths of every Ukrainian who has died to russian aggression. Thousands of rapes, tortures, murders of innocent Ukrainians. They're responsible for every child stolen from their parents and "reeducated" with russian propaganda. And they're responsible for trying to put someone just like putin in the White House.

and traitorous republicans blocked the on aid. And then went on VACATION for 2 weeks.
