If he’s representing me, then I have a right to see it. Period.
I swear, these conservatives now lack any kind of moral standard.
If you’re looking for the most morally reprehensible person in the room, just seek out the one who can’t stop injecting their religion into every unrelated conversation.
“Now”
Did I miss something? Are private citizens who rape children immune to prosecution?
This is America.
Depends… mostly on party affiliation and bank account.
No see… he was a public representative, which means he’s only accountable to the house ethics pannel and not local law enforcement.
It feels like watching those old Bonnie and Clyde and other famous historical criminals in the US that would say rob a bank, cops would be chasing them… and Oops they crossed state lines, I guess they get away this time.
Guy defends the pedo that got him his job. What’s new with the Republican party?
Trump should be in prison now because he still is a ‘normal citizen’.
He would if the justice department weren’t a bunch of wimps and if the judges weren’t bought and paid for.
He almost turns me into a believer because it seems the only place these fuckers might face any consequences would be hell itself.
You’re not a “private citizen” when you’re supposed to be a public servant. Johnson’s name is appropriate, he’s a total dick.
Says the guy watching pornos with his son
Now that’s just some good ol’ fashioned father son bonding time down in ol’ Louisiana
To be fair… IMO I think that idea is mislabeled and misunderstood.
Now the idea of opposing porn is just plain stupid. I’d expect any teenager to get their hands on porn and going against that is nonsense. But I’d say the labeling saying that it’s watching porn with your son, is very misleading.
The point of it is, it’s just a porn blocker with a detection switch, it’s not so you and your son can brag to each-other over what porn you are into. It’s made basically a switch to rat you out if you tried to bypass it.
IE that would be like if an alcoholic had a device that sends his wife an alert any time he tries to get an alcoholic drink. It’s made to discourage you from trying because you’d be caught.
Again I fully disagree with that software because, I don’t see porn itself as inherently harmful, but if you accept the idea that porn is harmful, I see it as a reasonable method to try and discourage yourself from accessing it.
It’s funny that you are saying all of this considering we are both discussing facts about the current leader of the house of representatives in the USA
The ‘don’t go fishing with just one mormon/evangelical/etc.’ argument.
The accountability partner being his son (over whom he has some power) kinda nullifies the concept.
I still have to say what it is, is meant to be a very strong deterant rather than sharing. Now again I do think it’s stupid and bullshit to consider porn use a problem unless it’s actually causing an impact in life. The point is in theory he’d be mortified if his son were to catch him looking at porn, therefore he won’t look at porn because he knows his son would find out. The idea of it is to show his son he’s not looking at porn, and to keep his son from looking at porn. The software blocks most porn, and sends out a notification to the other person when it has to block something, and then gives a list of everything that he did visit, which would make it apparent if say he were to happen to find something that slipped through.
The point is still that it isn’t sharing porn with his son… because the intention, and most likely the results are, none of the reports will have porn because it’s a deterant. Realistically if Mike Johnson is going to look at porn, He’s going to use it on a device that he didn’t install the software on that his son doesn’t know he has. The power portion of it is kind of irrelevant, yes it’s true his son can’t ground him… but his son would call him a hypocrite.
Again the bigger key is, these morons think looking at porn is a serious problem to worry about, and they are willing to go through and waste so much time and effort, in ways that’s likely to constantly interupt regular internet use. The idea that it would be used in a “ooh I see you were watching X, that’s my favorite fetish too!”, I find misrepresentative of how these things actually work.
Kind of like the old joke. Never invite a baptist to your party, he will drink all of your beer. Instead invite 2 baptists to your party, and they won’t touch a drop.
“Public figures confused about what ‘pivate citizen’ means”
there I fixed the headline
_“speaker Johnson is a festering pile of diarrhea”
Is all I read.
Except thats bullshit because house reports have been released after members resigned in the past.
Either:
- The report incriminates him, and Johnson is defending a paedophile.
- The report exonerates him, and Johnson is actively preventing Gaetz’ exoneration.
Both options make Johnson a shitstain.
Nothing can make him a shitstain, as he already is. All we can do is increase size and smell.
Or Biden releases it as a matter of national security? Dems have no balls.
Respect the norms!
Does Biden even have it? It was a house investigation.
Regardless, Dems have no balls.
If the report was exonerating, they’d release. Therefore, drawing the adverse inference: holy shit, trump nominated a child rapist to the justice department.
I saw a comment earlier I thought was interesting, this may be a way of forcing everyone to bend the knee, make them complicit
We all knows Gaetz is a kiddy diddler
Trump knew when we nominated him
Now everyone in congress knows. And they’ll allow it, because otherwise trump will turn on them
Blatant disregard for anything in the way of violently grabbing power. This guy is gross.
Gaetz was a congressperson when it all took place. That report is government property, AKA it belongs to all Americans.
This may be a hot take but PEDOPHILES ARE NOT ENTITLED TO PRIVACY
What if you were in the desert 🏜️ and a pedophile had the only source of water 🌊💦 and was also a politician but he had retired years ago and just wanted to be alone so he could have fun with his adult friends in the desert?
It has blood.
I’ll slash its throat and drink that instead.
I disagree with that as a general principle but this report should be released
General principle - they use that excuse to spy on everyone
