And acquaintance with the facts would tell you that Devon Archer in his testimony to the Congressional committee repeatedly told them that Hunter Biden explicitly said he had no pull with his father but misled clients to believe that he did. That may be sleazy. Who knows, it may even be a crime in those countries. But it does not incriminate Joe Biden.

It figures he'd be pilloried by them for one of his few truthful public utterances.

And how did the economy do during Trump's last year in office?

You might want to look again at the topic of this thread.

Apparently, according to Mike johnson, dinosaurs and people live together at the same time. At least that's what the Ark Encounter shows. And why not? After all according to these people, the Earth is only 6,000 years old. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that Johnson also believes the burning of fossil fuels is not connected to climate change.

Anyone who contends that "Alll's well that ends well" when it comes to fraud and banking, has never worked for a bank a day in their life.

Well, you had earlier claimed that Palestinians had voted in Hamas in Gaza when actually it was a coalition of Hamas and the PA that formed the government. I believe Hamas got 44% and the PA got 41%. So that was false, and not insignificantly.Is my calling you out on that an example of my "nitpicking"? But in your latest post you claimed among other things "There is no wall-to-wall support among Palestinians for a two-state solution - regardless of your 'definitely'. And that's referencing the general public. Considering Hamas is not really into this, and that it's support base is significant, that would make your assertion out of touch with reality." According to this poll, support for Hamas in Gaza was at 24% were an election to be held. I guess you can call that significant if you like. I would call it pitiful. And support for the eradication of Israel was at 20% among Gazans, and as is to be expected that was concentrated among Hamas supporters. There's a lot more data in there that's basically unfavorable to Hamas. You might want to actually read about the report instead of indulging in a Pavlovian reaction.

Before Mike Johnson Was Speaker, He Was Blaming Abortion for School Shootings “Many women use abortion as a form of birth control, you know, in certain segments of society, and it’s just shocking and sad, but this is where we are. When you break up the nuclear family, when you tell a generation of people that life has no value, no meaning, that it’s expendable, then you do wind up with school shooters.” https://archive.ph/s6LDo#selection-1357.556-1357.885

What Palestinians Really Think of Hamas Before the War, Gaza’s Leaders Were Deeply Unpopular—but an Israeli Crackdown Could Change That The argument that the entire population of Gaza can be held responsible for Hamas’s actions is quickly discredited when one looks at the facts. Arab Barometer, a research network where we serve as co-principal investigators, conducted a survey in Gaza and the West Bank days before the Israel-Hamas war broke out... Unlike Hamas, whose goal is to destroy the Israeli state, the majority of survey respondents favored a two-state solution with an independent Palestine and Israel existing side by side. https://archive.ph/9OXlT#selection-1827.0-1831.308 https://www.foreignaffairs.com/israel/what-palestinians-really-think-hamas

Please share with us what huge swathes of energy production have been shut down by the Biden administration: U.S. crude oil exports reached a record high in first half of 2023 https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=60622 U.S. exports of natural gas set a record high in the first half of 2023 https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=60582#:~:text=The United States exported more,to our Natural Gas Monthly. And the rest of what you wrote is utterly irrelevant. It should be obvious that the change won't happen overnight.

Actually, a coalition of the PA and Hamas took power after the elections. Then Hamas violenty expelled the PA.

How about if the government makes iextremely difficult for Arab Israelis to acquire land to expand their villages? https://www.hrw.org/reports/2008/iopt0308/4.htm#:~:text=According to Adalah%2C a human,land controlled by the state.&text=Bedouins' lack of access to,Israel's Palestinian Arab population generally.

Not an extremist? What Mike Johnson Has Said About Cutting Social Security During his tenure as chair of the Republican Study Committee (RSC) from 2019 to 2021, Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, vigorously championed budget resolutions proposing trillions in cuts to these programs.According to Bobby Kogan, senior director of Federal Budget Policy at American Progress, the proposed cuts were staggering; roughly $2 trillion from Medicare, $3 trillion from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, and $750 billion from Social Security. At an American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research event before he was elected speaker, Johnson did not mince his words, saying that entitlements like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security pose an "existential threat" to the American way of life and the "whole form of government." https://www.newsweek.com/mike-johnson-social-security-cuts-house-speaker-1838350

Mike Johnson Suddenly Has Amnesia About His History of Anti-LGBTQ Comments https://news.yahoo.com/mike-johnson-suddenly-amnesia-history-025007155.html Apparently Mike Johnson thinks dishonesty is compatible with his Christian faith. For 8 years he worked for the Alliance for Defending Freedeom, a self proclaimed Christian outfit that, among other things, opposed the decriminalization of homosexual acts.

I googled it and couldn't find that quote anywhere. Just misleading headlines from The Times and The Independent.

And yet more damning evidence. Speaker Johnson raises conservatives’ hopes for Biden impeachment “The mounting evidence … shows that Joseph Biden has engaged in bribery schemes, pay-to-play schemes,” Johnson said, noting that the Constitution says a president “shall be removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery or high crimes and misdemeanors.” https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/26/speaker-johnson-raises-conservatives-hopes-for-biden-impeachment-00123829#:~:text=“The mounting evidence …,or high crimes and misdemeanors.” When Comer's committee called witnesses in their impeachment inquiry, even those witnesses said their wasn't evidence to prove it. Extremist much?

Congratulations on volunteering to be part of a long-term study for people who don't get vaccinated. It's well known that viral infections can often result in severe even life-threatening conditions that emerged years later. No such connection has ever been found for a vaccine. Thank you for your service.

At least one of them has gone so far as to use the term "antifa supporters". A weirdly specific and irrelevant label.

It's quite aspirational.

It doesn't surprise me. But it might come as a surprise to some of the gung-ho members who are posting in this forum.

Before that, you posted this rhetorical question: "Is Sunak just another rich man that has no idea of what normal people's lives are like, but think they are qualified to tell them how they should?" So up until his embrace of Netanyahu, you supported him? Before that he wasn't "just another rich man etc..?"

Johnson is either massively dishonest or delusional: “Do you support the right of a woman who is just seconds away from birthing a healthy child to have an abortion?” he asked at a Judiciary Committee hearing." https://archive.ph/PxL1t When the witness replied that it doesn't happen. here's what Johnson claimed: “Never happened in your practice, ma’am,” Mr. Johnson fired back. “But it happens. https://archive.ph/PxL1t

Israel’s Army Is Ready to Invade Gaza. Its Divided Government May Not Be. In the 20 days since Hamas attacked, Israel’s Air Force has pounded Gaza and its troops have gotten into position. But its leaders disagree about what to do next. https://archive.ph/targH As the article goes on to note, the Israeli govt doesn't seem to have a clear plan about what it's going to do in the event that it does triumph on the battlefield

Who has used 'terms like "far right extremist" for anyone who is even slightly right of centre (or sometimes insufficiently left of centre) it makes the accusation meaningless.' The conversation here isn't about "anyone it's about Mike Johnson. Once again, you fail to offer any specific evidence to support your case.

I've looked in vain in this thread for anyone who labelled Johnson a Jesus Freak. Making things up much? But he certainly invites criticism of the version of Christianity he subscribes given that the extreme right wing organization he worked for claims pursues it's political goals in the name of Christianity.
