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.”

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.

Not just that, but who else is avoiding scrutiny by not being speaker? People missed everything about Santos until after the election, basically.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

not...everyone missed Santos. But they got Cassandra'd and nobody paid attention.

You sure? I remember journalists getting mad about the lack of local journalism that allowed him to come to power unchecked.

Firehose of bullshittery, complements of the GOP. It’s by design

I just want to know where his congressional paycheck goes. Seems like a simple question for the press to ask and for him to answer.

[-] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

He has been asked since he became speaker and instead of answering he talked about being a man of "modest means". Everyone now knows he's hiding something, and quite possibly broken the law a few times, so now we just wait. Either investigative journalism will give us the answers or a government inquiry will. Hopefully in the interim nothing bad happens.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
