@matthewschmitz Were you drunk when you wrote this, or just delusional, Mr. Public Pseudo Intellectual? While you're at it, Kanye West: paragon of tolerance or just misunderstood?

For those sincerely concerned to preserve our democratic traditions, there is no need to take such drastic measures. As disruptive as Mr. Trump can be, his success testifies to American voters’ desire for moderation and skepticism of extremist ideologies.

Trump is often denounced as a “threat to democracy” with radical and extreme policies. But he enjoys enduring support because he is seen by many voters — often with good reason — as a pragmatic if unpredictable kind of moderate. My essay for the @nytimes: nytimes.com/2023/12/18/opi…

@matthewschmitz @nytimes Congratulations, Matthew! You've written what has to be the most wrongheaded opinion piece from maybe the last decade. Could you please next do a piece on the underappreciated architectural stylings of Albert Speer, or the misunderstood cinema of Leni Riefenstahl?

@SpeakerJohnson Delusional hypocrite who thinks he's Moses has thoughts. Hey Mike, when did you stop following Jesus and start worshipping Hitler quoting, 2x divorced serial liars who loooove them some Vladimir Putin?

Border security is national security. Period.

@SpeakerJohnson For a man who wears his piety on his sleeve, you love to "bear false witness". You're a frakking hypocrite, Taliban Mike.

Since I became Speaker in late October, I have clearly and consistently told the White House and Leader Schumer that we must secure our own border before we secure another country’s. For some reason, the Biden Administration waited until this week to even begin negotiations with Congress on the border issue. While that work should continue, the House will not wait around to receive and debate a rushed product.

@SpeakerJohnson If I'm not an evangelical or a Christian the way you define it, am I going to Hell? Are the Jews killed by Hamas in Hell now?

It is the honor of a lifetime to have been elected the 56th Speaker of the House.  Thank you to my colleagues, friends, staff, and family for the unmatched support throughout this process. It has been an arduous few weeks, and a reminder that the House is as complicated and diverse as the people we represent. The urgency of this moment demands bold, decisive action to restore trust, advance our legislative priorities, and demonstrate good governance. Our House Republican Conference is united, and eager to work.  As Speaker, I will ensure the House delivers results and inspires change for the American people. We will restore trust in this body. We will advance a comprehensive conservative policy agenda, combat the harmful policies of the Biden Administration, and support our allies abroad. And we will restore sanity to a government desperately in need of it. Let’s get back to work.

@GOP @RepMikeJohnson Taliban Mike will no doubt take his cues from an old Bob Dylan lyric: "Everybody must get stoned." And no, not cannabis but old school, Leviticus style "stoned".

Speaker @RepMikeJohnson: “What we need in this country is more hope … more strength, more perseverance, and a lot of hope, and that’s what we are about to deliver to the American people.”

@OK_Dumbass @RonDeSantis I'm a little surprised he didn't blame it all on "woke".

@RonDeSantis OR ... the failure of Republicans to enact sensible gun laws. Which do YOU think it is, Harvard-Yale genius?

Casey and I were shocked to hear the news coming out of Lewiston, Maine. While the facts are still coming in, this could be another example of a failure of our nation's mental health system. We are praying for those injured, the comfort of the families of the victims, and the law enforcement officers who are working to bring this evil individual to justice.

@MonicaCrowley When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them...But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. - Matthew 6:5-6

The first thing Speaker Designate Mike Johnson did last night was ask the Republican caucus to pray with him. This is EXACTLY what we need at this exact moment.

@HouseGOP @RepStefanik Ladies and gentlemen, behold a woman who sold her soul at closeout prices.

"We know that we were sent here on behalf of the American people to serve as their voice. To stand up for them. To push back on the failed Far Left agenda of single party Democrat rule lead by Joe Biden." Chair @RepStefanik

@HouseGOP @SteveScalise @RepMikeJohnson Hell is empty, all the devils are here.

“We are just getting started., but people are going to come to know and love what he represents because he fights for things bigger than himself and people who have been ignored for way too long.” - Majority Leader @SteveScalise on his support for Speaker @RepMikeJohnson

@GOP 2/ If he believes in personal freedom, why does the Speaker want to police bedrooms? Also, how does our moralist in chief feel about a 10 year old rape victim who was impregnated by her attacker? Force her to carry her pregnancy to term? Sorry, Taliban Mike, this ain't Gilead.

@GOP Does the Speaker believe in constitutional principles like free exercise or religion for everyone (not just evangelical Christians)? Are atheists entitled to full citizenship rights? Does he believe Jews are destined for Hell if they don't sign on to his religion? 1/

A message all Americans can get behind

@GOP Theocratic.

The principles that made America the greatest country on Earth! 1. Individual Freedom 2. Limited Government 3. The Rule of Law 4. Peace Through Strength 5. Fiscal Responsibility 6. Free Markets 7. Human Dignity

@nathaliejacoby1 Taliban.

@HouseGOP @RepMikeJohnson Taliban Mike. One of those "red letter 'Christians'" who owns a Bible with red letters they gleefully skip over. Doesn't believe in democracy unless his side wins, either.

Congratulations SPEAKER @RepMikeJohnson!

@DeSantisWarRoom Burn any good books or crosses lately?

Ron DeSantis is the only candidate who can beat Donald Trump in Iowa and beyond. That’s why Trump briefly left his basement yesterday to campaign in Iowa. nypost.com/2023/10/01/ron…

@JohnnyBuschi @DavidShuster @LongIslandAudit Even if Sean is a "real journalist" (Sean, get yr tux ready for the Pulitzer ceremony next May!), his conduct was that of - what's the technical term - Oh yeah, an *unprofessional* asshole! Plenty of editors wld have fired him for this. Others wld have suspended him.

@TCavender77 @DavidShuster @LongIslandAudit Who are you to determine who is a real journalist or not?

"Psycho" Nassau County NY Police Commissioner Gets Exposed By Constitutional Auditor @LongIslandAudit. Unfortunately, it has come with a cost to the auditor’s safety. MUST watch. youtu.be/hWuB7s2ev1I?si… #policebrutality #Police #tyranny

@DavidShuster @LongIslandAudit 3/ Sean was a complete piece de merde (pardon mon francais) for treating her the way he did. I know Sean's dreamy and all that, but Dave, you used to be a real journalist. You know pulling a stunt like this was extremely unprofessional and a jackass move.

@DavidShuster @LongIslandAudit 2/ have handled this? It doesn't matter if Patrick Ryder is the second coming of Rosemary's Baby and the love child of Hitler and Stalin, the only thing Mrs Ryder is credible accused of is picking a bad husband. Whatever you think of Mr Ryder, and I don't think much of him,
