It gets lost in the shuffle, but the Speaker of the House is someone who, by all rights, should’ve had his career ended a decade ago by a Shreveport TV news investigative team.
Fond memories of that time Mike Johnson was president of a local law school that never opened its doors, in part because it was attached to a Baptist college that was losing its accreditation, and in part because it was always a scam from the start
Good lord, why am I not suprised 🤦♀️
his allegiance to Trump makes more sense.
Makes one wonder where his non-existent bank account 'income & expenditures' come from. Does simply write it on a ahem cocktail napkin invoice?
It’s almost adorable to look back to 2016 and see Trump scraping the bottom of the barrel for his VP and other senior staff, to find anyone even moderately qualified…and to see how he’s had to go 5 layers deeper into shit since then, with no one approaching qualified willing to go near him now.
I heard someone refer to him as a former law professor last night and I was surprised.
But NOW I’m wondering if it was a sly reference to this.
Heh.
You really need a competitive resume of failure to reach the top of MAGA world. Being a garden variety fuckup just won't cut it.
Failing Up must be some kind of MAGA sorcery
Once a con artist, always a con artist.
He's got more in common with the WH burger king, Epstein's best friend of 10 years than we thought!
Kevin I've got some bad news about local TV in Shreveport
Squeaker of the House. His caricature lends itself well to a rat.🐀
magats love fake universities
If being a scammer was actually a crime, all christians would have to be incarcerated. Whatchagonnado?
Well that’s unsurprising.
This is what you get when dweebs like him run unopposed
In my lifetime, the only Republican I can think of who had anything resembling real integrity was John McCain. You could put a gun to my head and I still wouldn’t be able to come up with another name. There's not a statesman among them. Not a single impressive intellect.
Do you have the report?
It was also a very weird (read: terrible) time to think about trying to open a law school. Said notional law school was also named after someone later credibly accused of sexual abuse of a minor. So.
Before House Speaker Mike Johnson was elected to public office, he was the dean of a small Baptist law school that didn't exist. The establishment of the Judge Paul Pressler School of Law was suppose...
what happened in Shreveport?
Disappointed in KTAL
I'm still confused about the ever-evolving story about the "adopted" son...
Is it because he fucked his foster child?
The current GOP is definitely a 'fail upwards' crowd.
I don't get how anyone hears the story the story about the kid he "unofficially adopted" before ditching without coming to the conclusion that Johnson is more likely than not a child molestor.
Trump is a narcissistic psychopath & criminal & here's my prediction: He will overreach with corruption & crimes.
He can't not commit crimes as criminality is his nature.
If Dem control the House they will hold him accountable by impeachment a 3rd time.
I’m tempted to say that we are in an era of unprecedented corruption and incompetence, but then I realized that I’d probably get “well, actually”ied by an historian.
He is skeevy af.
Knowing this makes things make so much more sense. He’s been a grifter from the go.
He really gives me the icks. You can tell that he’s got so many hidden layers that are dark as hell.
I know it's a wild conspiracy-type question, but is Mike Johnson somehow in the Epstein files? Or, what personal secret is he trying to hide? His behavior has to be more than just trying to hold onto power, especially as the writing on the wall is so negative for Trump now and GOP are breaking away.
there’s still time for that plucky Shreveport TV news investigative team if they have the courage
I’m sensing a theme here
Same for Rand Paul, who had to be board certified by his own board.
It is shocking how many Republicans were involved in pure overt fraud and seem to rise in the gop ranks for it.
The party is one of scamers and fraud.
The good folk of Louisiana have not the rest of us any got damned favors, that's for sure.
Mike Johnson is the kind of guy who gets elected because he's sort of handsome and is named "Mike Johnson."
He reminds me of Janice Hart and Mark Fairchild, the two Lyndon Larouche followers who won the Democratic primaries in 1986 because people voted for the candidates with the "nice names" …
That is absolutely the vibe he gives off.
Wasn’t that law school also named after the architect of the SBC conservative revolution who was pretty widely known to abuse teenage boys and young men?
I get closer and closer to the idea that one cannot advance in the GOP without being criminal.
One word, Louisiana.
Corruption is as flavorful as the rice and beans there...
For the life of me I don’t know how these guys pull this off…
I get a parking ticket, my life is in disarray for weeks.
Those who can, do; those that cant’t become House Speaker
The longest-serving R Speaker who retired less than 20 years ago molested multiple young boys and I bet less than 2% of the public knows this
Shreveport, good one
News to me. Reminds me of santos, just criminal grifters nothing more.
How does it get ignored that a Louisiana lawyer with a Russian wife laundered Kremlin money to put Mike Johnson in Congress, AFTER Mother Jones reported on it & while he continued to block aid to Ukraine at Trump’s explicit orders as Speaker till we forced his hand w a discharge petition last April?
i always blame the people who vote for these losers.. and yes.. they may win elections .. but they are just mediocre white dude losers.. there HAS to be better people in his district that ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT the people not $$$$
Oh! It’s no wonder Mike Johnson has become a leader in the “scammiest” administration in U.S. history.
Same goes for Tuberville (And Rick Scott and…and…)
Tommy Tuberville has been listed in a federal suit that alleges the former Auburn coach and his partner defrauded investors out of more than $1.7 million.
And where is his quasi adopted Son?
You'd think Tom Hanks and Bruce Dern finding all those human remains in his basement would have been the end of him
Religion is the best con in the world.
You mean the man with no bank account or financial history that you can find is a crook? Lol
failing upward is the New American Dream. #FUNAD
Republicans once called themselves the "Moral Majority". It's become disgustingly obvious that they're just a bunch of corrupt perverted crooks.
We needed Veronica Corningstone on that.
What does it say about Democrats that this wasn’t investigated by the Biden DOJ?
Is it that there’s just so much Maga criminality that even a multibillion dollar budget can’t handle it all?
Or do they just not get that if you want an honest society you have to prosecute those who aren’t?
I keep thinking someone from his LSU days will post his frat pictures. Even the official yearbooks back then have fraternity party pictures that could end a political career.
Does he still somehow manage to remain unbanked as one of the most powerful men in the country?
👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼
Looking @ you #KSLA
How dare you say that about the Dean of the Judge Paul Pressler School of Law!
His national coverage was pretty devastating too and that Appeal to Heaven flag is still outside his door.
But I guess we all are supposed to be blow past that.
wow, looks like he and the orange goblin have a lot in common…both had fake schools, lie all the time, obnoxious and void of charisma...
Creepy narcissist guy sort of opens a school that was unsuccessful because crime, where have we seen that before, oh, I got it…
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_U...
Pedophile Scam School-ers of a feather, fμck over the USA as they work together.
Does he still claim to not have a bank account? If I had his expenses and no bank account I’d have the whole alphabet investigating me.
Now, now, it's unfair to single out Mike Johnson.
"Should've had their career ended a decade ago because of their unethical or illegal activity" could apply to ANYONE in the administration.
seem to me that Mikey, like Donny and so many other repubs, got hall passes for corruption (and worse)
I'm still not over the fact that he doesn't have a bank account. Huh? Is he taking his paychecks to QuickCash? Does he pay for everything in cash? How has nobody investigated this further?
MAGA Mike Johnson was A-Okay with Matt Gaetz Attorney General
wordandway.org/2024/11/19/s...
Editor-in-Chief Brian Kaylor reflects on Speaker Mike Johnson working to cover up a House Ethics Committee report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz after President-elect Donald Trump nominated Gaetz to serve ...
I still think at least once a week about how he got away with saying “oh I ain’t got no bank accounts, I’s just humble country folk” and everyone just nodded like “hmm, ok, seems legit”
yet another example of why the powerful love gutting local news
Let's just assume that, like Trump, everything coming out of Mike's mouth is, and always has been, a lie. That's why he was chosen, they don't pick any other kind.
I'd forgotten this, thank you!
You know who also worked at colleges without a license or certifications? Epstein. Coincidence? Probably, but too many things are tied directly back to Epstein.
Mike Johnson and Trump can share stories about how they ran scam schools. I knew there must be a reason why Trump likes Johnson.
This was his defining qualification for the GOP.
Corrupt from the beginning.😡😡
I was in Shreveport last year. Outside of downtown, the whole city looks like GTA San Andreas stock content.
Pretty sure that "A Scam From The Start" is a GOP campaign promise.
Tapper thinks Biden is too old tho, Kevin. Eye on the prize ~
What else gets lost, despite revisiting It each July, is..
"the Consent of the Gov'd" (DoI)
aka Our Freedom
example I refuse to grant my "Consent" to be gov'd to mike johnson & the republican party b/c they are subversive, unfit (14A) & religious tested (ART VI)
But, why do you Consent?
No WONDER he does anything for trump. trump is the Pied Piper of incompetent sexual deviants.
