Following up on the excellent piece in @RollingStone by @7im on the prayer calls made by House Speaker Mike Johnson with a Christian nationalist MAGA pastor Jim Garlow, I uncovered another call that is equally troubling.

Authoritarianism is here folks.

Thread: On Aug 9th Pastor Jim Garlow welcomed Speaker Mike Johnson on a prayer call to discuss what he calls the "constitutional crisis" before America in which cabinet level officials have come before Congress and lied under oath, all of which Johnson considers impeachable offenses.

You want the receipts on Speaker Mike Johnson?
Look no further.

This is the ultimate thread of a man only Margaret Atwood could have dreamed up for America in 2023.

Make sure you read to the very end (especially you ladies, um, handmaids.)
/Thread. In 2017, just a year after being elected to Congress Speaker Mike Johnson wrote an article in "Answers Magazine" about how Obergefell opened "a legal Pandora’s Box."

He called it: "Losing Liberty Without Losing Hope"

And BOY is it a doozy.

Speaker Mike Johnson: a Tale of Financial Deception in Five Parts

Part I. Scrub your wife's "Onward Christian Counseling Services" website as soon as you are elected Speaker of the House.

Why? It refers to how you work together in award-winning marriage counseling sessions.



Part 2.
Mike Johnsons doesn't want you to know what he reminds his baptist congregation of in Fall 2022: that he and his Teacher/Wife Kelly led a marriage conference for Cypress Baptist Church in Dallas, TX a few months prior where they talked about counter-culture parenting.

Speaker Mike Johnson has gone to great lengths to scrub his social media. So here with his "Teacher/Wife" Kelly is the sermon he doesn't want you to hear: "Answer for Our Times."

Thread: MJ: "What is God’s Design for Society: God... created things to work in a certain way. the Bible is our owner’s manual as I refer to it. It teaches us and tells us through the instruction of the Holy Spirit how things are supposed to operate.

Dave Weigel got suspended from The Washington Post for reposting a sexist joke. A lot of people on here think the punishment is too harsh for his “mistake.”

But, looking back over Weigel’s early career, was it a mistake? Or, is this really who he is at heart?
Thread Weigel started out as an early blogger and college Editor/Reporter for the Chronicle, a conservative rag at Northwestern (2000-2004).

(Wonder of wonders he wasn't canceled just for drinking JD and DIET coke.)

Drew Hernandez a week ago on 11/3 says how being in Kenosha "changed my life." He states "the town was being attacked" and the "police were doing nothing about it." #RittenhouseTrial #KyleRittenhouse

Drew Hernandez - Kenosha, Kyle Rittenhouse Trial. Drew Hernandez on 11/3 in this podcast says about Rosenbaum "that's the pedophile that Kyle shot."

"This is my opinion: I personally believe that after Kyle shot that first guy they were probably going to execute Kyle publicly in Kenosha because of what he did."

Steve Bannon actually stated on his broadcast on the morning of January 6th just hours before the Capitol insurrection that "today's not just a rally... at one o'clock that starts and there's going to be some pretty controversial things going on."

The full clip of Steven Bannon saying on the morning of January 6th that "today's not just a rally... at one o'clock that starts and there's going to be some pretty controversial things going on" is here:

Nina Turner Says: "We need a stable environment. We need Mother Nature – we need Mother Earth – to be well, and we are making her sick."

NIna Turner Does: Becomes a lobbyist with a firm that blocked the Climate Debate at the DNC last August.

#OH11 Nina Turner Says: "Medicare for All"

Nina Turner Does: Nina hires Juan Peñalosa who was responsible for allowing health insurance to lapse leaving some staff unable to pay medical bills - an act the new FL DNC Chair called "both mismanagement and inhumane.”

In 2020 @ninaturner started a public affairs co. called Amare. Amare is a "Fictitious" name which means it's doing business for Mercury Public Affairs, a Washington DC-based lobbying firm.

You know, the kind of corporatist establishment lobbying firm Turner rails against.
#OH11 Of course, Nina Turner talks a big game about the environment/Green New Deal and against the lobbyists who buy politicians.

But by working with Mercury she's working with Corporate Lobbyists who blocked the Climate Debate at the DNC last August.
#OH11

prospect.org/politics/corpo…

Here is Nina Turner on stage with multi-millionaires Cenk Uygur and Killer Mike talking about "ordinary people" needing to come out and support "progressive" candidates.

She chose to be on stage in Ohio with Uygur whose candidacy she retracted her endorsement of in 2020. Nina Turner talking about only "one" candidate in the #OH11 race that has called in "other forces" and gone negative - then Nina smears that campaign.

In fact it's Nina Turner who has raised $2 million+ from outside support using Our Revolution, TYT and other "outside forces."

The interesting thing about Nina Turner being part of the Ohio Task Force on Community-Police Relations established by Gov. Kasich in 2014 is that the guidelines they supported were LESS STRINGENT than MANY of Ohio's police departments at the time.

https://twitter.com/nomoremister/status/1299410317026430977

In fact, by 2020 only 443 of Ohio's 1000 police departments have been certified as complying with the "VOLUNTARY" standards (which many departments had already exceeded) outlined by Ohio Task Force on Community-Police Relations co-chaired by Nina Turner.
#OH11

Right after Bernie Sanders threw in the towel in 2020, Nina Turner went on Breakfast Club and said the Biden campaign didn't want her on the joint task force with Bernie progressives. Then she agrees: "absolutely" f'ck them people.

Nina Turner is not a Dem and not a team player. 8/20 Nina Turner says people who want to work within the Dem Party: "You know that song 'It's my party and I can cry if I want to?" Go on ahead, do that on the inside. Then there are people who decided the hell with it, we working on the outside."

So which is it for OH11, Nina?

Let's put a thread together of folks who have stated that President Trump invited them to DC on January 6th, shall we? First up is Amy Kremer who started the Tea Party and was head of Women for Trump during the election and then started Women for America First to organize a national bus tour for Trump to contest the election results and plan all of the DC rallies including Jan 6th.

Worldview Weekend Broadcast Network is hosted by @GoDaddy. They are a 501(c)3 charitable religious organization that is hosting some of the most seditious livestream interviews with Mcinerney, Flynn, Lindell to keep Trump in power. Please use form 2report: supportcenter.godaddy.com/AbuseReport?is… Lt. Gen McInerney appears on Worldview Weekend Broadcast Network on 1/13/21 telling their audience that "World War III has started. WWIII is a hybrid war that is started that is a mixture of biological, cyber warfare and other means..." among other Q conspiracies and lies.

The media is failing in its duty to report on the extreme right-wing rhetoric which is calling for Pres Trump to declare a national emergency and invoke the Insurrection Act. A call is being made across soc media platforms & coordinated with planners of rallies in DC for Trump. Lt. Gen. Mcinerney has relentlessly called for insurrection by falsely claiming members of the media, judiciary, and gov't have committed treason by not overturning the "rigged" 2020 election. Even the My Pillow guy has been on to make the case as well as Gen Flynn.

Time to go down the Rabbit Hole with Women for America First and Mike Lyndell - the "My Pillow Guy"
who supported all of their rallies in DC and elsewhere.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell Is Throwing Down Big Money to Fuel Pro-Trump Election Challenges thedailybeast.com/mypillow-ceo-m… Lyndell paid for all of Women for America First's marches and rallies for Trump since November, and he's paid for Trump's legal operation to overturn the 2020 election results. Does this direct connection to the Trump campaign not violate WFAF's status as a 501(c)4 org?

So, how has the press not made the connection between the Trump administration and Women for America First who organized all 3 marches on Washington - including January 6th? Kylie Kremer and her mother Amy Kremer (remember Amy started the Tea Party and campaigned for Ted Cruz when he first ran for office?) They run Women for America First (and Women for Trump). NONE of their twitter or YouTube sites have been closed even tho they orchestrated Jan 6.

Why is Seb Gorka allowed to still have a platform on @youtube and @twitter @jack? Two weeks before the election he outlined the exact plan for what was to happen at the Capitol on January 6th at the TPUSA SAS convention. On Dec 20th he states: Gorka's plan calls for people in the next 2 wks to "do what needs to be done. I'm PREPARED TO DIE for this country. I don't want to see [a Civil War] again. Here's the work for all of us. You must put the fear of God into every Republican Senator and Congressman.

The Trump family has been radicalizing its base for a "war." Other supporters have been as well. Just listen to the TPUSA Student Action Summit speeches given late Dec. just two weeks prior to January 6th. Listen to the language used to incite the youth in attendance. Thread: Kimberly Guilfoyle's introduction of Don Jr is particularly revealing. In this segment made 2 weeks before 1/6 she states: This is a war that we will win. Do I have my soldiers out there? Will you fight to defeat them? We must stop them in their tracks."

🚨Pet Owners🚨:
The FDA’s Center for Vet Medicine (CVM) recently issued draft guidance (GFI #256) that, if finalized, threatens to have serious and damaging ramifications for the owners of sick pets.
Facts About FDA's Guidance for Industry #256 mymedsmatter.com/facts-about-fd… 🚨Pet Owners🚨: In 2015,FDA submitted (GFI #230) that was similar on the compounding of animal drugs from bulk drug substances. Following pushback from the veterinary & pharmacy community w/intervention from members of Congress, FDA formally withdrew that Guidance in 2017.

Recently Mika Brzezinski stated about Trump: "He was way worse than anyone thought he would be... We never thought that we would be seeing this. Nobody did."

But Mika and Joe have still not reckoned with how their coverage of the 2016 campaign brought us to where we are today. Joe in October 2016 wrote that the upcoming election presented Americans with "the worst presidential choice in U.S. history."

Does anyone seriously believe that a Clinton admin. would be anywhere near as disastrous as the Trump administration today?
