That's a fair representation of the lack of intelligence of the Democrat voters.

Biden falling has nothing to do with ANYONE'S intelligence.

They inflicted that on the world, and now there's violent bigotry, war and economic hardship everywhere. 

^This has LONG BEEN THE CASE. Most severely when Trump tried to sweep the pandemic under the rug, and caused several of the WORST super-spreader vents HERE.

Inside Mike Johnson's Ties to Far-Right Movement to Gut the Constitution

Quote

For the last 10 years, the ‘Convention of States’ movement has sought to remake the Constitution and force a tea party vision of the framers’ intent upon America. This group wants to wholesale rewrite wide swaths of the U.S. Constitution in one fell swoop. In the process, they hope to do away with regulatory agencies like the FDA and the CDC, virtually eliminate the federal government’s ability to borrow money, and empower state legislatures to override federal law.
As far-fetched as this idea might sound, the movement is gaining traction — and now, it believes, it has a friend in the speaker of the House.

Mike Johnson is a board member of a Christian publishing house that called ‘monkeypox’ a penalty for being gay

Johnson’s Release of Jan. 6 Video Feeds Right-Wing Conspiracy Theories

Quote

Speaker Mike Johnson’s decision to publicly release thousands of hours of Capitol security footage from Jan. 6, 2021, has fueled a renewed effort by Republican lawmakers and far-right activists to rewrite the history of the attack that day and exonerate the pro-Trump rioters who took part, the New York Times reports.

Mr. Johnson’s move last week to make the footage available — something the far right has long demanded — came as he tried to allay the anger of hard-line Republican lawmakers for working with Democrats to keep the government funded. Now, some of the same people who were irate about that decision are using the Jan. 6 video to circulate an array of false claims and conspiracy theories about the largest attack on the Capitol in centuries. 

Johnson proved he is an lDIOT with his willingness to sacrifice Capitol security for cheap political points. ?

Capitol video only helps to plot the NEXT invasion and terrorist attacks.

Thanks to another of your ^stupid predictions, you have set my mind at ease, gnat man. LMAO 

A stroke is the least of my worries as I am in great physical shape from playing basketball and working out 5 days a week.

Also lost 40 lbs from staying too long on my previous lower calorie diet after greatly increasing my court time. 

I am back down to my 200 lb HS weight. Yay!

Nope. at 6'6" I was skinny. In fact I only got up to 200lbs by bulking up on the weight machines over the summer.

Speaker Johnson wrote foreword for book filled with conspiracy theories and homophobic insults

Quote

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson wrote the foreword and publicly promoted a 2022 book that spread baseless and discredited conspiracy theories and used derogatory homophobic insults, CNN reports.

Written by Scott McKay, a local Louisiana politics blogger, the book, The Revivalist Manifesto, gives credence to unfounded conspiracy theories often embraced by the far-right – including the ‘Pizzagate’ hoax, which falsely claimed top Democratic officials were involved in a pedophile ring, among other conspiracies.

Because it does not penetrate your cognitive dissonance. AKA, your opinionated bias.

Like most who know nothing about science (because they dropped out), your beliefs are not founded in EVIDENCE.

Oh, and because you troll all the time here, you are suspicious that others do, too.

200 lbs is not overweight for a 6'3' 18 year old.

Of course not. Esp when it's mostly muscle. It's just illustrative of gnat man's habit of drawing conclusions without evidence.

But I was 6'6" and still am. I was hoping that getting back down to my HS weight would restore an equivalent vertical leap, but alas it was not to be. I still can't jump.

Lol...so you're a 6"6' tweenkie?

Speaker Johnson says he has priorities. So why hasn’t he acted on them?

Quote

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has held his position for barely four months, not long by anyone’s standards, but long enough to ask this question: Does he have any major priority other than survival?

Johnson has spoken repeatedly and sometimes vehemently about pending issues. He has called for tougher policies to halt the surge of migrants coming across the U.S.-Mexico border. He has said he favors additional aid for Ukraine in its war against Russian aggression and more assistance for Israel in its war with Hamas. But he has delivered on none of this, even when given the opportunity for action.

Johnson’s actions fall far short of words. In fact, they have been in conflict. Johnson keeps finding loopholes or excuses or rationales to avoid acting on the very priorities he claims to support. He is another exhibit in what has become the story of House Republicans, which is a failure to meet or even recognize the demands of governing, one of them being a willingness to compromise.
