threatening to his anti masturbation pact with his son?
D’oh, came here to post this. You win :).
How DARE they ~~KIDNAP CHILDREN AT GUNPOINT AND TAKE THEM TO UNDISCLOSED LOCATIONS AWAY FROM THEIR PARENTS OR LAWYERS!~~ RIDE BIKES NAKED!
“Most recently,” Johnson went on, “the most threatening thing I’ve seen yet was the naked bicyclers in Portland who were protesting ICE down there. I mean, it’s getting really ugly.”
Though the people behind him appeared to stifle a smile, it does not seem that he was joking, because he went on to say that protesters have attacked officers and people have been arrested.
The phrase "the most threatening thing I’ve seen yet was the naked bicyclers in Portland who were protesting ICE down there," cannot logically be anything except a defense of Portland. There is no other logical interpretation. It logically means that Portland has nothing more threatening than peaceful naked bicyclers. They can't even carry a concealed weapon.
But since Johnson is apparently disconnected from reality and basic logic, he can say something that defends Portland and pretend like it is a criticism of Portland. Is it even possible that he's so delusional that he believes what he's saying? No, I think it's very unlikely.
Even though the article says "it does not seem that he was joking," I still have trouble believing it. I have to convince myself that Mike Johnson wouldn't publicly defend Portland as being safe in order to believe that he wasn't joking.
But then, what am I left with? No human being over, say, 15, with reasonable intelligence, could think about that statement that Johnson said and believe he was telling the truth.
So, the explanation is that Mike Johnson is so used to getting away with lying that he'll just say anything. And meanwhile, his audience are so used to not thinking that they don't even call him on it.
Fascists don't do logic or coherency. We know they're lying. They know that we know. But it's a show of power for them to lie anyway.
I’m guessing he doesn’t know that New Orleans does this as well? In his home state? Nobody tell him.
What I'm hearing is that people should get naked in a reverse psychological leverage attitude?
Doesn't he have a secret Grindr account? Somehow, I think he's seen worse.
Awww... Did those naked bikers make you feew insecuwe? Awww...
that’s so much more terrifying than a Portland resident in a frog costume dancing in front of a passel of cosplaying ICE thugs, isn’t it, Mike?
To be serious for a moment, he doesn't believe that for a second.
He's just bullshiting to further the false narrative that his fascist regime is pushing as they continue deploying the military against the american public and other opponents of fascism.
Perhaps what Speaker Johnson is saying is true (who am I kidding?). The political violence from "the Left" has been such a nothingburger that the most henious thing that he had seen thus far is a cycling group with a few naked people. Write that down as public testimony for the state attorneys' cases.
Pffft, snowflake.
Reminds me of the naked warrior unit from Rome: Total war
“Flood the zone with shit.”
He prolly recognized some of the penises and panicked.
