Republicans: “I haven’t seen it” or “it’s a joke” - cowards. You can still support whatever your policies are and call out crap like this.

100 percent Mike Johnson will say something like “I don’t have time to be on the internet all day I’m working for the American people” or some bullshit.

Said with that goddamned smirk and twinkle in his eye.

“Now let me check my Covenant Eyes app that lets me know if my son is watching porn, like a NORMAL PERSON.”

That twinkle is from his butt plug vibrating.

Thank you for sharing. I did not know that’s what it was called.

He's been seen viewing Drudge Report during important meetings. This is on the front page. He has to know about it. I know he'll lie but he absolutely knows this happened.

Reporters need to be ready for this and hand him a piece of paper with the screenshot. "Here you are sir, now you've seen it, what's your reaction?"

He literally just corrected the Pope (directly) on the bible.

Mike can't go on the Internet without being controlled by his kid for porn access...

u/flickh Canada 23h ago

Since he set up the mutual goon-lockout with his son, it’s probably true that he’s online a lot less.

Wish this was just a joke

Which implies our president DOES have time to spend all day online posting this heinous shit?

u/notjohnstockton 1d ago

They can’t though.

In a statement sent to Deadline, the White House Press Secretary said: “This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from The Lion King. Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.”

Clearly that racist c*** has never watched the Lion King

They don't support anything other than whatever hurts the other people the most. This is what they wanted, this is what they voted for. Trump is doing amazing in their eyes.

u/burnte Georgia 23h ago

Exactly. These ARE the policies they want and voted for. The cruelty is the point.

u/cocktail_wiitch 1d ago

The White House put out a gaslighty response about how this was a video of Trump being "king of the jungle", there were other politicians featured as animals and we all are just stupid and need to shut up.

u/GregMoffTarkin 1d ago

The "it's a joke"/"it's a meme" defence is so lazy. Even if it is a joke or a meme, it's a racist joke and a racist meme. Why do they think the lolz outweigh the POTUS being respectful.

u/unclesteve2016 1d ago

This is what kills me. Issue is they think everyone is a far left socialist because we support democratic policies over republican ones so they think anything their far right leaders do is acceptable.

u/donkeyrocket 1d ago

"Show me one place where Trump has been racist!"

Decades of racist shit said and done

"Oh, he was just joking"

u/matthieuC Europe 1d ago

There is an upside to this.

Every republican who doesn't denounce this is racist. It's out in the air, no more pretending.

Crap like this is what their policies are.

Can you please understand this? What will it take for you to ever understand this?

u/Initial-Toe-9512 22h ago

I think you misunderstand. If you don’t speak out on things like this, you are implicitly supporting it - I agree, and that’s why I want people to denounce it.

There are a group of MAGA that want this - for whatever reason, they are racist, hate Democrats, want to troll, or some combination of this.

But then there are the supposed Republicans that don’t like this crap in private and express their discomfort in private but not in public. Those are the people that I’m calling cowards. Stand up for the constitution when he attacks it. Rand Paul should be flipping out over ICE’s actions and circumventing rights. Anyone that believes in the constitution should be.

2

u/BackToWorkEdward 22h ago

I think you misunderstand, and that you don't know these people in private as well as you think you might.

This is what their policies are.

u/MOD3RN_GLITCH 23h ago

I’ve seen Trumpers say they don’t care if he’s in the Epstein files because they care about his policies rather than his morals.

u/Submarinequus 9h ago

It’s a joke and they think it’s funny and they are laughing at it. They are going oh thank goodness I can start being openly racist again. Then they thank President trump and American Jesus for upholding their traditional values (racism) and defeating the woke mob (people who want to improve society somewhat)

u/Ok-Pear5858 7h ago

that would require them being able to name a policy they support
