Or Biden releases it as a matter of national security? Dems have no balls.
Does Biden even have it? It was a house investigation.
Regardless, Dems have no balls.
Respect the norms!
He is Schrodingers citizen: both a public servant AND a private citizen whose waveform doesn’t collapse until the investigations begin.
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.
Never believe that [fascists] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The [fascists] have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
Ok so how to handle it then
The correct answer to that question would be removed
Good question. Best answer is building robust communities that can reject them and not allow them to gain footholds. “Fuck off loser” gives them no room to twist anything
Justice dies in silence.
In the future, I highly recommend sourcing to Wikiquote instead. It’s a sister project of Wikipedia which sources its quotes so they can be independently verified, whereas Goodreads just operates on an ad populum approach of upvotes. It also for this reason tends to be more robust to error, and many more prominent figures have specific sections both for popular quotes that are known to be misattributed and for ones that are dubious but not currently falsifiable.
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.
“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.

This motherfucker has covered up some shit in his life. This is not far from the pastor telling the pedo he smoothed things over with the victims family and if we pray about it everything will be ok.
Remember, this is the same guy who still claims he doesn’t have a bank account. By my mind that means he’s lied on every disclosure and is likely hiding more than just a few bank accounts and investments.
Bitch please
A sitting representative just needs to read it into the Congressional Record.
Gaetz was a congressperson when it all took place. That report is government property, AKA it belongs to all Americans.
Nah bruv, no one’s buying this shit.
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.
Except thats bullshit because house reports have been released after members resigned in the past.
Leak it…
How this doesn’t just happen is beyond me. One would think one of the MANY staffers with access to this document would have leaked it by now.
People don’t wanna lose their jobs or end up in jail.l
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.
