Senator Kevin Cramer also said that Mike Johnson clearly expressed his intention to help Ukraine.
“He was pretty clear about it,”
Sounds positive.

This is great news to hear, but Johnson is a spineless fucking weasel, so I’ll celebrate when the legislation actually passes the house.
I had a similar impression but the quote from him in that article did give me some hope that he has more spine than I previously thought:
Not bad, son. Not bad.
I get what you’re saying, but Johnson is the type of politician who will say a thing and then do something that is precisely contrary to the thing he said - and he’ll continue to say the thing as he continues to perpetuate said contrary action. He is a shitheel of the highest order. Also, he’s a Nationalist Christian.
Not just a Nationalist Christian because many of those are OK - He’s at the far, far right end of a Nationalist Christian and one who believes God talks to him.
Anyone saying God told them anything really is very, very worrying.
It reminds me of perhaps the greatest piece of genius ever to come out of South Park. Get yourself some fresh underwear to hand because you’re about to piss yourself laughing if you haven’t seen it before.
Lucy Harris smart smart smart.
Uh, no, Nationalist Christians are categorically not ok. I am 0% ok with living in an authoritarian theocratic state, which is what they are pushing for.
Yeah, it turns out I misunderstood the term. Someone else corrected me on it. I was thinking “Well, Biden’s a nationalist and a Christian so they’re not all completely mental”
In our country we have a principle of freedom of religion, where anyone can practice any religion. So anyone that wants to make the entire country only their religion is a problem. Christians are fine. Christian Nationalists want us to be like Iran.
Ah, I misunderstood the term then. Cheers.
Is it correct to say that all US Christian Nationalists want a theocracy and would frame laws based solely on what’s in the bible? I’d expect Johnson is almost certainly one of those, but I assumed there were more moderate ones who are guided by religion wouldn’t want to go full Christian Sharia. edit: Like would Biden be considered a Christian Nationalist?
I’m very fond of the US actually, having been there a decent number of times, but I haven’t met any of the proper loonies you see in the press as yet.
It’s a growing movement, led, as best as I can tell, by television pastors. I don’t know if its fair to paint them all that way, there are probably people that would refer to themselves as a Christian Nationalist that don’t have a hardline interpretation of the words, and would not try to implement biblical law.
The leaders of the movement routinely call for it though.
A useful litmus test is do they want to ban the practice of Islam and ban existing Muslims from entering the country, or not?
That’s clear. I’ve a better understanding now. Many thanks.
Yeah this is going to be a here’s the aid…but attached is some crazy other shit, this way they can say the Dems blocked the aid…see it’s not us.
That’s just talk, and words out of Mike Johnson’s mouth aren’t worth the air
