Current Events > I was happier not knowing who Mike Johnson was

(+) Yeah! (+)

A lot happier

Who?

I mean, he's no different than a majority of the other shit fuck GOP members. The only difference is you know a name now.

With luck he won't be speaker long and his time as speaker hurts republicans in purple districts enough that democrats take the house.

This is the bed they made.

Every Republican in the house voted for this guy to be speaker

And yet, you continually force yourself to come into political topics and say dumb shit. Curious.

Speaking from a place of privilege, I see.

Another hot take from Mr. High IQ.

Reminder that the 20 republican holdouts who didn't vote for Gym Jordan had no problem whatsoever voting for this religious fundie piece of shit who holds almost all the exact same views.

The extremism was never the problem, it was the optics the extremism brought.

The right loves being tyrannical dickheads. They just don't like being called out for being tyrannical dickheads.

Did you get that info from Fox News again?

It's likely we all have. My post was just a reminder to those who are stuck in a vicious 'constant exposure' cycle leading to an increase of unhappiness. A continuous and overwhelming exposure to negative political news on Current Events is NOT going to help anyone. Only hurt you.

Ditto

My apologies. Please continue spending hours discussing U.S politics to the same 15 people on CE. Thank you for your service and saving this country.

Why did you need to make two topics about him?

Did you legitimately think this was a good post? Like you typed it out and reread it and went "Yeah, what I just said makes sense and isn't completely fucking stupid! That's it, imma hit post!"

You are speaking from a place of privilege. Once the number of topics on Mike Johnson hits a certain point he will be ousted from his position.

Who is making this argument?

This one is not actually a troll. He believes all this shit he hears from Hannity and Tucker. He should have read his posts on 261. He's a true Trump believer.

He's not a troll, he's just a crap person.

I'm happy he was elected. Dems control the senate so they won't be able to pass the garbage he wants to. And he has just tied an anchor around all "moderate (lmao)" Republicans in the House that were in areas Biden won. He's gonna bring them all down and I look forward to it.

Once again, someone confusing "openly pointing and laughing at" with "throwing a fit over".

That's false. Anyone who thinks this doesn't know what they're talking about. Texas is passing a law that includes a mandatory minimum 10 year prison sentence if you have an undocumented immigrant in your car.

Here's a tip, that user never knows what they are talking about so just tag and move on.

If you've seen any of his shitty posts in political topics, this becomes incredibly obvious.

Shouldn't you be "both sides"ing it up somewhere far away from here?

Better quickly make a topic about it before it passes or it will be your fault.

Listen, collective action is all that matters. Individuals do not. If you are finding yourself a lot less happy like TC as he makes many political posts on CE which has no impact on the world, it is beneficial for him to hear controlling his exposure to negativity will do him well and not impact anyone else.

How about the peanut gallery just leaves and shuts up with these inane takes? I think that would be better.

Someone is taking our criticism of Mike Johnson very personally.

This is what you said:

That's false and idiotic. With the example I mentioned, people in Texas who don't learn or worry about that law would risk being thrown in prison for 10 years for going to a restaurant with a family member who is undocumented in their car.

Okay, learn about the law if it's passed and take two cars instead? Want do you want me to say?

That would require learning and worrying about politics, which means what you said was false. Some families only have one car. It seems like you need to understand that a lot of people in this country can't just go through life with the privilege of living in a politics free bubble because moronic politicians are criminalizing mundane activities.

Individual 1 spends every second of his day thinking and discussing the election of Mike Johnson on CE
Individual 2 spends zero seconds of his day thinking and discussing the election of Mike Johnson on CE
Individual 3 spends 2 minutes of his day thinking and discussing the election of Mike Johnson on CE

All three wake up tomorrow with Mike Johnson still as speaker.
