This is terrifying.
This is seditious.
This is the scariest part about it
Under his eye.
If the American electorate was slightly less stupid, I’d be ecstatic, because he made himself effectively kryptonite to reasonable, intelligent people with that statement.
Unfortunately, the American electorate is, on average, that stupid.
Yup. That about sums it up. You guys wanna talk about something else or?
He said it in 2016 though and has still been re-elected and elected speaker of the house regardless. Hopefully this has an effect on the republican party at large though now. It might fly where he’s from, but it won’t in the US at large. We just need to make sure people know what they’re voting for.
I work with a few atheist/agnostic republicans that are incredibly confused right now.
I’ll never understand voting for the party who wants to eradicate you.
Log Cabin Republicans say “Hi.”
Why is it that every time a dumbass steps down from being speaker, you guys manage to find an even bigger wanker? It’s kinda impressive, honestly.
Not me bro. I voted for the other guys.
Pump the bilge pump, get bilge water.
Over under on this guy being a pedophile?

I admire your optimism.
It’s less optimism & more a concrete trend if you look at the elections that have happened since the GOP destroyed Roe v. Wade.
This batshit motherfucker is going to drive so many voters to the Dems. Keep amplifying his insane bullshit.
Surely boosting far-right candidates won’t backfire again
It worked flawlessly for Hilldawg
If we just keep platforming fascists eventually people will start voting for our milquetoast fascist-lite candidates who offer no solutions to any problems!
lol, lmao
This batshit motherfucker is going to drive so many voters to the Dems.
Did I miss a memo and there’s suddenly a dem worth voting for? Until we get a non-warmongering climate crusader as a dem candidate, my vote’s going to Afroman.
This batshit motherfucker is going to drive so many voters to the Dems.
Rich Republicans will continue voting for whoever taxes them the least. Poor Republicans will continue voting to spite their perceived opponents (minorities, gays, “the woke mob”).
Yeah, I don’t think so Tim.
If Trump didn’t drive all the moderate Republicans over to the Democrats, this guy isn’t gonna do it.
Didnt almost very candidate Trump supported in the midterms lose?
No, most of them won because most of them were in uncompetitive districts.
Most of the candidates he endorsed in the few competitive districts that still exist did indeed lose, though.
Normies actually believe what he says.
Look at 4chan, there’s no shortage of idiots who want to believe that porky is our lord and savior and they’re actually the good guys when they go around ruining other people’s lives “for teh lulz”.
I am begging you to stop whinging about “normies”, as well as pretending 4chan is a reasonable representation of the general population when it’s q freaks and reactionary societal outcasts.
This is literally frightening to read that any American politician would think this. I don’t see how any moderate R could support this train of thought.
There’s no such thing as a moderate R. They voted for Johnson.
Moderate R are an endangered and disappearing species. And even if you find one, you’d be safe to assume they’re “moderate” rather than moderate.
Do they even exist? Bacon voted for Johnson.
The key is realizing that moderate Republicans don’t oppose evangelical wackos either (and Dems, at best, try to have it both ways)
Lots of them think it. The more frightening aspect is the willingness to say it out loud.
Remember when Cheetoh-Man said things out loud and they loved him for it. Eight years later, they feel emboldened to do all kinds of shit that wouldn’t have been on the radar back then. We’re in trouble.
Christians always try to re-history the world in their favor. They are the most dishonest hypocritical fascists.
Then again, they stole most of what their religion allegedly stands for.I don’t want to be that guy, but in fairness, ol’ boy didn’t actually say “biblical republic” (He just wheeled out the old “constitutional Republic” bit).
Doesn’t make this any better, but I want to be sure we criticize with facts.
Amen
So this is the alternative history they want to write eh?
Clown, it was called the “Enlightenment Age” for a reason, people started breaking the chains of organized religion. Yes they were Christians, but they knew enough to not trust religion as a form of government.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in the material world are some of the founding principles, not “death, misery and suffering but maybe get lucky choosing the right god and you’ll be rewarded with eternal paradise…”
If they founded the country on the Bible, we’d live in a theocracy with no elections and no opposition parties.

Britannica covers it pretty well. I guess they’d better, they have been covering shit for longer than we have been a country.
The phrase is “we the people.”
There is nobody else coming to decide things for humans.
Of course, he’s from Louisiana… The south always was the worst part of American, even in colonial times. The US might have abolished slavery much earlier if not for them. There was even a draft of the Declaration of Independence that critiqued the British slave trade as one of the moral failure of the empire and grounds for independence.
I see this nutjob has no idea what he’s talking about and cannot fulfill the duties of his oath of office, so he should simply be removed from office, right? Right guys?
You got the form letter going yet?
When he won the spot he said “good to see our democracy working” or something like that. Fucking shameless lunatic
Separation of church and state is both the first amendment and a clause in article six of the constitution:
First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
article six
no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
Thomas Jefferson’s use of the words “separation of church and state” was to explain the purpose of the first amendment specifically but the actual legal text of the constitution is worded broadly enough to cover not only separation of church and state but separation of mosque/synagogue/ect and state rather than singling out Christianity.
