    “Incel-isation of the modern GOP”? OK, apart from the point that “modern” and “GOP” don’t really go together, this just means no sane female member of the human race wants to touch a Republican even with a 10-foot pole?

      He is closeted gay man his homophoiba screams it. Democrats should kick him out of office next year. We need Democrats to take a super majority in both chambers.

        Could we not use “he is secretly gay” as an insult or as a witch hunt? Like, I don’t see why that even needs to be elaborated on in the 2020s.

        We can comment on hateful bigots and hypocrites without dragging down one of the demographics who are particularly under threat from said bigots.

          It’s not bad if he’s gay. It’s bad if his policies are disingenuous. If he’s gay, then there’s an extra reason he shouldn’t support anti-gay legislation.

          He did adopt a 14 year old black boy when he was first married to his wife. I can’t find any information about the kid now or find any family pictures of them together. Sounds pretty sketchy to me.

            I actually looked it up yesterday

            So the son has been an adult for a while and allegedly has his own family, and asked not to be put in the spotlight. Which makes it confusing when he occasionally brings up his black son by name to speak to race issues, but he generally goes around saying he has 4 children instead of 5. He does generally seem to actually take a reasonable principled stance on black race issues (specifically), but I have no idea what to make of all that

            He’s a weird dude all over. I wasn’t sure what to make from him, but it seemed like maybe has actual principles (not good ones, but genuinely held). Learning more about him hasn’t really improved my opinion of him…

        • Because liberal concern trolls don’t give 2 fucks about being hypocrites. They kept talking about how Trumps wife was a pornstar a couple years ago too, because she’s a former model that posed topless once or twice. Meanwhile they idealize and elevate actual pornstars and would scream if anyone insulted based on their profession.

            No, he cheated on his wife with a porn star, who then told lots of people about it.

      He will ban it because he’s a Christofascist who interprets the Bible literally.

      Mike Johnson: “Go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it - that’s my worldview. That’s what I believe and so I make no apologies for it.”

      The Bible, 1 Timothy 2:12: But I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.

          The Bible is terrible fully in context. People pretend that the context explains all the stupid and abusive stuff because it feels nice to avoid arguments with well-meaning religious people. There isn’t context that fixes that Timothy quote, there are evolutions and rationalizations to try to sand off the rough edges so the religious institutions can keep trundling along while secular morality rightfully moves beyond it.

    Calling them fervent misogynists would be much more accurate, because unfortunately, these hateful hypocrites are anything but “involuntarily celibate” behind closed doors.

    If he really wants to go down this route, then perhaps he should call out Nick Fuentes over his desire to have a child bride first. Both shithead monsters can fuck off and die.

    If I’m going to Hell, then I am sure as shit seeing these two assholes there. And I’m looking forward to accompanying them while we burn. Seriously, fuck them both.

    It’s crazy that House Republicans only sank Jim Jordan’s Speakership candidacy because he and his proxies were mean to them. Once they were offered a bland nobody with even more extreme beliefs they elected him unanimously.

    A reporter needs to ask him about his stance on pornography being banned and whether he’s considering crafting legislation to that effect. His first answer will be wildly unpopular, and if his second is anything but a complete denial, that story will explode.

        You are 100% correct, but multiple unconstitutional “think of the children” style laws have already been passed in several states. The status quo of pornography being protected speech is only a result of multiple litigations on behalf of the ACLU over the years. The reality is unconstitutional laws will keep being passed, and challenging them takes a lot of time and money, without any guarantee of success.

      As for why these people find someone who will marry them? They covet power just like their spouses. These psychopaths chase power and money. It’s all they care about. They will kill you and me if it means they get more, and they won’t lose any sleep over it.
