Mike Johnson Is The Devil
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...%20Johnson.jpg Mike Johnson, new Speaker of the House, in a 2004 op-ed.
“Homosexual relationships are inherently unnatural and, the studies clearly show, are ultimately harmful and costly for everyone. Society cannot give its stamp of approval to such a dangerous lifestyle. If we change marriage for this tiny, modern minority, we will have to do it for every deviant group. Polygamists, polyamorists, pedophiles, and others will be next in line to claim equal protection. They already are. There will be no legal basis to deny a bisexual the right to marry a partner of each sex, or a person to marry his pet. The state and its citizens have a compelling interest in preserving the integrity of the marital union by making opposite-sex marriage the exclusive form of family relationship endorsed by the government. Loss of this status will de-emphasize the importance of traditional marriage to society, weaken it, and place our entire democratic system in jeopardy by eroding its foundation. Your race, creed, and sex are what you are, while homosexuality and cross-dressing are things you do. This is a free country, but we don’t give special protections for every person’s bizarre choices.”As with all homophobes, he uses fear to spin his so-called truth: let The Gays marry and the pedophiles will be able to marry children, or dogs, or toasters. In 2023 he still plays out that proven lie that being gay is a choice, when we know for ma fact it’s not,. But being a homophobic faux “Christian” bigot is a choice.
This motherfucker—I’d say pardon my language, but the man is a motherfucker—equates being gay to pedophilia and cross-dressing though most everyone with brains that fire on all cylinders, unlike Mike Johnson, knows that most pedophiles are straight men like Mike Johnson and most cross-dressers are straight men like Mike Johnson.
This cannot be allowed to stand.
CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE in 2024.
Vote Blue because the GOP has come for women, is now coming for people of differing faiths, and will soon be coming for the LGBTQ+ Americans, and once they’re done with that, they’ll come for all of you.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...%20Johnson.jpg Mike Johnson, newly elected House Speaker, in a 2016 interview:
“You know, we don’t live in a democracy because a democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what’s for dinner. OK? It’s not just majority rule. It’s a constitutional republic. The founders set that up because they followed the biblical admonition of what a civil society is supposed to look like. What’s happened … over the last 60 or 70 years, is that our generation has been convinced that there is a separation of church and state. Most people think that that’s part of the Constitution, but it’s not. Remember, I’m a constitutional lawyer.”No, you’re a Christian Nationalist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic bigot trying to hide your hate behind a cross.
Enjoy your time in office, asshat, 2024 is coming.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...4%20Graham.jpg Franklin Graham, on sin being the biggest threat to America … not war, climate change, or guns:
“Last night CBS 60 Minutes had a fascinating segment about the Five Eyes, intelligence chiefs from the U.S., the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, who are warning this nation and the world about the dangers China poses. FBI Director Christopher Wray said, ‘There is no country that presents a broader, more comprehensive threat to our ideas, our innovation, our economic security, and ultimately our national security.’ But we must also remember that the greatest threat to the human race is our complacency toward and the acceptance of sin. Sin is rebellion against God—and unless we repent and turn from those sins and believe on the Name of God’s Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, trusting Him as Savior—there is no hope.”Funny that the man who virulently supports a thrice-married adulterer, and a man who cheats and lies about everything in his life, is talking about sin.
The sin of stupidity and lies lives in Franklin Graham.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...%20Johnson.jpg Mike Johnson, in his acceptance speech as House Speaker:
“I want to tell all my colleagues here what I told the Republicans in that room last night. I don’t believe there are any coincidences in a matter like this. I believe that scripture, the Bible, is very clear that God is the one that raises up those in authority. He raised up each of you. All of us. And I believe that God has allowed and ordained each and every one of us to be here at this specific moment. This is my belief. I believe that each one of us has a huge responsibility today to use the gifts God has given us to serve the extraordinary people of this great nation, and they deserve it. There is a critical distinction that we used to have children memorize in school and they don’t do that so often anymore. But they should. All men are created equal. Not ‘born equal.’ Created equal. ”Hey Mike? Ask your “God” why he raised up a thrice-married adulterous con-artist to the presidency. Ask your “God” why he raised up a pedophile enabler like Gym Jordan; a sexual predator like Matt Gaetz, and adultery like Marge, the queen of the public hand-job like Lauren Boebert; the adulterous New Gingrich and so many more.
Ask God why, if She wanted you in power it took her this long.
God didn’t raise you to power; your use of God as a weapon of mass distraction and fear did that.
I think we can all agree, no one is calling me an 'optimist'.........ever .
Yet, every now and then I continue to suprise myself, but not in a good way.
You've seen it here over the Shrub and BLOTUS administrations. There are times I think that the GOP and their ilk can't get / be any worse than they have been.
.....and I am continually proven wrong. I'm not sure if that makes me an optimist or just a moron.
Case in point with the new Speaker.
Let's start off admitting I was wrong that they'd give the job to Jordan. They still elected a election denying, January 6th affirming, anti LGBT and anti abortion guy. Put a singlet on him and let him condone rape and you basically have Jordan. Or any GOPer these days.
Did the GOP even want this guy? When you're on your fourth candidate, to save any kind of face, you have to elect someone. ......so they did. Right or wrong.
This above headline isn't even from the Onion. That satirical site isn't clever enough to come up with shit like this. Honestly.
I dare any journalist to ask the new Douche du Jour to provide the data behind school shootings and abortion. Tie this together for me with facts. Show me anything in which to back up your proselytizing. But this isn't about facts. It never has been. It's about riling folks. It's all they got - like carnies on the midway.
Let's forget the fact that the Maine mass shootings murder of yesterday were at a bowling alley, so........did abortion do that too? I haven't heard a beep from that c-u-n-t Susan Collins about the killings in her home state. She's gotta be torn on what to say and do. Either way she'll flip flop.
In my head, these turds are actually disgusted that flags are at half-mast for shootings like this. I thinking they're thinking it shows us as being 'weak'. But much like this new guy, I have nothing to back up that statement.
I'm not even addressing the procreation piece in that headline.
I will say, if you women just did your part, there'd be fewer school shootings. This is kind of all on your watch.
For shame!

Christian Site: “Demons Attach To Halloween Candy”
October 28, 2023 Christianists, Idiocracy
Jordan Campbell writes for Charisma News:
We don’t celebrate Halloween is because satanic activity is real. As a second-generation deliverance minister, having worked with severe trauma survivors, it saddens me to see families opening doors to such darkness as they participate in Halloween.
There is no light in it. The witchcraft, spells, incantations, curses, rituals, sacrifices—all of this is real, with real victims. If believers only knew what really took place on Halloween, they would instead enter a night of intercession on behalf of God’s kingdom and those actively being affected by the night’s scheduled events.
My children are not afraid of this truth. They know God’s gift of discernment and use it to navigate through the Halloween season. In fact, if you were to join me for a round of errands, you would see and hear my 2-year-old point to demonic decor and say, “I seal you in the blood of Jesus.”

Score one for Becca.
Yesterday, politically things were rather quiet. With Pence out of the GOP nominating race, things have quieted down somewhat.... sorry, I had to do that. I did see where the Orange Anus said something about Mikey needing to go the distance. Mikey was never one to put in the work, always being a step behind thinking that was enough.
Ronnie DeSantis is running into serious shit issues. People are asking him the not too difficult questions and he's fumbling for the answers because he's always assumed everyone is a moron. There was an interesting exchange on one of the Sunday morning news shows where he was asked about increasing gun mortality rate in Florida. Of course, Ronnie D lied, saying it was decreasing. Pushback ensued, something Ronnie D abhors because that brings his lack of accountability into focus. Statistically, the number of people dying from gunshot wounds is increasing... a lot, like a percentage point a year, and last year it was up to 14 + %. And Ronnie D's blubbery lips blubbered. One of the consequences of loosening gun laws is that more people are going to die, but then when have Republicans ever thought of consequences

Top Evangelical Steps Down Over “Sexual Immorality”
October 31, 2023 Christianists, Scandal
The Christian Post reports:
International House of Prayer Kansas City founder Mike Bickle has agreed to step away from public ministry as he is investigated for “serious allegations including sexual immorality” that have been made against him by multiple women.Read the full article. Bickle first appeared on JMG in 2011 when he declared that “demons have attacked me physically at least ten times.” He also appeared here in 2016 when Ted Cruz was roasted for “proudly” accepting his presidential endorsement despite Bickle’s claim that God sent Hitler to kill Jews for not accepting Jesus.
Leaders of the charismatic Evangelical Christian movement and missions organization based in Kansas City, Missouri, made the revelations of the allegations Sunday at the 11 a.m. service of the ministry’s “local church expression,” Forerunner Church, where Isaac and Morgan Bennett serve as lead pastors.
Bickle, IHOPKC leaders further noted, agreed that he would not preach or teach from the church’s platform, engage with the public on social media or participate in the church’s well-known 24-hour prayer room on Red Bridge Road in south Kansas City “while we work with others to assess this situation.”
And here's my bit for Halloween.
Right now, even though this is the time for trick or treaters, for dressing up in Halloween costumes, both amusing and scary, probably there is nothing more frightening that the Republican party. What makes them so frightening is that their base doesn't even know what they stand for because they've coddled to so many specialty groups there no clear platform on which they stand. The 2nd amendment people rarely look at anything else, and when their elected officials say "tax break," they believe it's for them... it isn't. Vast numbers of social conservatives haven't a clue as to what Christian Nationalism is, or how it's one step closer to taking America down the road to fascism. Fiscal Conservatives only thing about Wall Street. For them, lower tax brackets are just another source of revenue they can bleed until it's depleted. Really, all the GOP wants to do is say "shut up! We're in charge!" without even knowing what that means, or how they're going to govern. They don't really want a fair America. They just want to be in charge.

Mike Johnson Collaborated With Ex-Gay Torture Group
CNN reports:
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson closely collaborated with a group in the mid-to-late 2000s that promoted “conversion therapy,” a discredited practice that asserted it could change the sexual orientation of gay and lesbian individuals. Prior to launching his political career, Johnson, a lawyer, gave legal advice to an organization called Exodus International and partnered with the group to put on an annual anti-gay event aimed at teens.As I previously reported, Johnson and Alliance Defending Freedom helped create the so-called Day Of Truth as an on-campus Christian counter protest to GLSEN’s annual anti-bullying Day Of Silence.
Founded in 1976, Exodus International was a leader in the so-called “ex-gay” movement, which aimed to make gay individuals straight through conversion therapy programs using religious and counseling methods. The group shut down in 2013, with its founder posting a public apology for the “pain and hurt” his organization caused. Johnson’s office did not respond to a CNN request for comment asking about his work with Exodus.
Per CNN’s new reporting, Mike Johnson collaborated with Exodus for years on the Day Of Truth.
When Exodus finally collapsed in 2013, founder Alan Chambers issued a lengthy apology and admitted on CNN that ex-gay torture had never turned any of his thousands of victims heterosexual. Not a single one.
And rat haired Marsha spit out another blatant lie on "X," the far right conspiracy based social media platform. This stupid woman claimed that Hamas was holding 500 Americans as hostages.
There are approximately that many Americans in Gaza, but they're not being held hostage. Believe it or not, some of them actually work there, just as there are Chinese working and living there, and Frenchmen, as well others who simply just live there. I don't doubt for a second that those rats living in Marsha's hair have begun to nibble their way into her brain which means she's only going to get dumber by the day.
And the spawn of the Spawn of Satan, Donald Trump, are going to begin testifying today in NYC. I think Eric goes first, and while many believe him to be the dumbest, it seems as though he might be the wiliest when it comes to spitting out his shapeshifting lies. I don't doubt that each of Trump's spawn have some inherent ability, and Eric's seems to be capable of regurgitating deceit in various forms and textures: lumpy lies and smoothie subterfuge are two of his favorites
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...0/BOBS%203.jpg So, people have been mocking Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ cowboy boots, trying to see if he’s wearing height-boosting insoles lifts to look taller than the 6’3” primary frontrunner who has a penchant for nicknames and is reportedly considered calling DeSantis “Tiny D.”
This is politics in America where it’s not what you promise but whether or not you’re a tiny little man trying to look bigger.
Ps My favorite joke is that the guy who hates drag is walking around in three-inch heels.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...0/BOBS%204.jpg Well, unlike Beyoncé who never met a check she didn’t want to cash, Rod Stewart has snubbed a mega money offer to perform in Saudi Arabia because of the country’s oppression of “women, the LGBTQ community [and] the press” in the kingdom.
Perhaps he should school Mrs. Carter.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...0/BOBS%205.jpg In more SCOTUS Scams featuring Clarence Thomas, it seems he borrowed $267,230 from a wealthy “friend” to buy a 40-foot luxury motor coach and was to make annual interest-only payments for five years after which the principal come due. But it seems Thomas has failed to repay any, or all, of the quarter-million-dollar principal.
Someone needs to investigate the con-artists in black robes on the nation’s highest court, and then remove them from their positions.
Trump’s Next Term Will Be All About Avenging Himself Against His Foes
NOVEMBER 2, 2023 |
From Esquire, by Charles P. Pierce:
We will have no excuse this time around. As if his entire first term weren’t proof enough, Fulton County [[Ga.) Inmate No. P01135809 and the people around him are leaving breadcrumbs the size of boulders to mark the path he plans to take after hijacking American democracy a year from now. Suffice it to say that the path will bring a second Trump Administration so fast in the direction of the end of the rule of law that Dr. Wilhelm Stuckert will feel a draft as the United States goes by.The allies have been drawing up lists of lawyers they view as ideologically and temperamentally suited to serve in a second Trump administration. Their aim is to reduce the chances that politically appointed lawyers would frustrate a more radical White House agenda — as they sometimes did when Mr. Trump was in office, by raising objections to his desires for certain harsher immigration policies or for greater personal control over the Justice Department, among others. Now, as Trump allies grow more confident in an election victory next fall, several outside groups, staffed by former Trump officials who are expected to serve in senior roles if he wins, have begun parallel personnel efforts. At the start of Mr. Trump’s term, his administration relied on the influential Federalist Society, the conservative legal network whose members filled key executive branch legal roles and whose leader helped select his judicial nominations. But in a striking shift, Trump allies are building new recruiting pipelines separate from the Federalist Society.What is plain from the NYT’s reporting is that the former president*’s entire focus now is on revenging himself on those people and institution that proved unwilling or unable to participate in his attempt to overturn the 2020 election and maintain himself in power. After all, people like William Barr, Pat Cipillone, Mark Milley, and Mike Pence were willing apparatchiks up until the post-election period in 2019-2020. That left the former president* about four lickspittles short of being able to pull off his greatest swindle of all. This story indicates that the central focus of staffing his next administration will be not to let that happen again.The interviews reveal a significant break within the conservative movement. Top Trump allies have come to view their party’s legal elites — even leaders with seemingly impeccable conservative credentials — as out of step with their movement. “The Federalist Society doesn’t know what time it is,” said Russell T. Vought, a former senior Trump administration official who runs a think tank with close ties to the former president. He argued that many elite conservative lawyers had proved to be too timid when, in his view, the survival of the nation is at stake. Such comments may surprise those who view the Federalist Society as hard-line conservatives. But the move away from the group reflects the continuing evolution of the Republican Party in the Trump era and an effort among those now in his inner circle to prepare to take control of the government in a way unseen in modern presidential history.Guess who?Two of the allies leading the push are Stephen Miller, Mr. Trump’s former senior adviser, and John McEntee, another trusted aide whom the then-president had empowered in 2020 to rid his administration of political appointees perceived as disloyal or obstructive. The nonprofit groups they are involved in are barred by law from supporting a candidate, and none of the work they are doing is explicitly tied to Mr. Trump. But Mr. Miller and Mr. McEntee remain close to the former president and are expected to have his ear in any second term.It will all be about vengeance and retribution from an aged and twisted mind.By the end of his term, lawyers he appointed early in his administration had angered the White House by raising legal concerns about various policy proposals. But Mr. Trump reserved his deepest rage for the White House and Justice Department legal officials who largely rejected his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, according to people who spoke with him. Casting about for alternative lawyers who would tell him what he wanted to hear, Mr. Trump turned for that effort to a group of outside lawyers, many of whom have since been indicted in Georgia.People close to the former president say they are seeking out a different type of lawyer committed to his “America First” ideology and willing to endure the personal and professional risks of association with Mr. Trump. They want lawyers in federal agencies and in the White House who are willing to use theories that more establishment lawyers would reject to advance his cause. This new mind-set matches Mr. Trump’s declaration that he is waging a “final battle” against demonic “enemies” populating a “deep state” within the government that is bent on destroying America.It’s like something out of literature now, the rumbling o the crashing, incipient end chapters of the American epic.To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there’s naught beyond. But ‘tis enough. He tasks me; he heaps me; I see in him outrageous strength, with an inscrutable malice sinewing it. That inscrutable thing is chiefly what I hate; and be the white whale agent, or be the white whale principal, I will wreak that hate upon him. Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I’d strike the sun if it insulted me.
So, what's going to happen with the Republican held congress? Not much. At least not for the next year and a half. They are going to stamp their feet and shriek "no, no, no," until they're red in the face, notice I didn't say blue in the face, that's something that will never happen to a hardline cult member. And when the more reasonable Democrats take back control of the House of Representatives, the Republican cultists will dig themselves in even deeper, unless, of course they get primaried out or simply voted out. When that happens you can rest assured they'll cry Voter Fraud since that lie is now part of their DNA.
Interesting bit from Arizona: Kristen Sinema is polling behind both the Democrat and Republican candidates because she, too, is stupid. She thought she'd splinter people off from both parties and win as an Independent. She doesn't understand that her constituents, most Democrats, see her as a failure.
And, joy of joys, more polls are coming out showing that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is siphoning voters away from Trump, not Biden, as the cultists thought. This is because Republicans are stupid.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...2%20JUNIOR.jpg Junior, on Newsmax, last night on Newsmax. Once again playing the ‘My Daddy is a victim’ card:
“It shows you what happens when you’re in a kangaroo court, Eric. It doesn’t matter what the rules are, it doesn’t matter what the Constitution says, it doesn’t matter what general practices and business would be. It doesn’t matter. They have a narrative, they have an end goal, and they’ll do whatever it takes to get there. They want to throw [Daddy] in jail for a thousand years and/or the death penalty. Truly sick stuff, but this is why we fight.”When Daddy is a criminal, and his little pussy bitch sons are criminals, and it looks like his daughter is ready to squeal on the whole lot, it’s a good day in America.
Oh, and Junior? No one is threatening to give Daddy the Death Penalty. Goddess, even your lies are stupid.

"You’re never gonna believe who the Republican offering this motion to censure Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is. I want you to take a guess. Go ahead. Take a guess. That’s right. It’s Marjorie Taylor Greene. The degree to which some folks only pretend to care about anti-Semitism when they can weaponize it never ceases to amaze. The leading Republican presidential nominee, [Thing 45]—he dined with Holocaust deniers [including Nick Fuentes]. [Thing 45] posted a screed accusing liberal Jews of 'voting to destroy America and Israel' last Rosh Hashanah to nary a peep from any House Republican leaders. I mean, Greene spoke at the White supremacist conference run by Holocaust denier, racist anti-Semite Nick Fuentes, who participated in that hateful 2017 Charlottesville rally. This is the same Marjorie Taylor Greene who has pushed the great replacement theory in videos. The deranged notion that rich Jews are trying to replace White Americans and Westerners with Blacks and brown Muslims. Not to mention, of course, her Jewish space laser conspiracy that a consortium including, yes, wealthy Jews, were using lasers on satellites to start forest fires. Antisemitism is not a cudgel to be used against people for political points. Nor is Islamophobia or racism, or anti-gay behavior or misogyny or any other kind of bigotry. This sh*t is not a game."Large Marge Greene is the most vile, ill-informed, hypocritical, traitorous insurrectionist in a party filled with that kind of scum.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...%20KUSHNER.jpg Jared Kushner, on Fox, showing himself to be a lying propagandist on the Saudi payroll:
“One of the ironies is that as an American Jew, you’re safer in Saudi Arabia right now than you are at a college campus like Columbia University. I spoke at the conference. They allowed me to speak freely, and what I sensed there was that there is obviously a very big discussion of what would happen with the tremendous terrorist attack perpetrated by Hamas. The people of Saudi Arabia have a lot of care for the Palestinian civilians, and so they would like to see Israel accomplish the mission, to make sure Hamas could be eliminated. They’re against terrorism in the region in general, and quite frankly, there’s a lot of enthusiasm to continue the trajectory that was set under the [Thing 45] administration.”Any guesses on the 200,000,000,000 reasons Jared has for siding with Saudi Arabia right now?
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...%20Johnson.jpg Mike Johnson, newly elected House Speaker, who worked as the Ark Encounter’s lawyer, and found them millions in tax breaks:
“The Ark Encounter is one way to bring people to this recognition of the truth, that what we read in the Bible are actual historical events. Kentucky officials are smart to enthusiastically embrace the Ark Encounter, and the millions of tourists the park will welcome to the area from every viewpoint, race, color, religion and creed. Answers In Genesis aims to encourage critical thought and respectful public debate about the various attractions and ideas that will be presented at its park, and that is the beauty and essence of free speech.”The Ark Encounter displays exhibits claiming that God created the earth no more than 6000 years ago and the humans and dinosaurs lived alongside each other … the Flintstones was real, y’all.
Mike Johnson is a columnist for the Ark Encounter’s website and regularly appears at its events.
It’s a yabba dabba doo time for loons like Johnson.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...PRINGSTEEN.jpg Bruce Springsteen, on the big difference between Democrats and Republicans:
“When you see the Democratic side of the House filled with brown people and Black people, straight people and gay people, and then you look at Republicans, who appears unchanged by history at this moment? They look ridiculous. And despite their current power they look like a failing party.”When all you’ve got going for you is revenge and lie and a demented ex-president, you have no power. You’re a joke, and a cult.
And that daffy Mikey Johnson sent a budget to the Senate that was dead on arrival. Either he's not a quick learner, or he and his hardline conservative buddies in the House will force a government shutdown in an attempt to force their agenda. They don't seem to understand that at the polling booth that is going to hurt them more than it helps them, but then no one ever said Conservatives were smart. Selfish? Yes. Smart? No.
There's also some sort of odd stuff flying around that he doesn't claim any income and that he doesn't appear to have a bank account. Ouch. If that's true, there's something seriously wrong since as a congressman, he needs to have an account in order to get paid. No paper checks for Mikey.

did get a hearty chuckle about the gag orders that are being placed and paused on the Orange Anus, and an even bigger laugh when Elise Stefanik jumped into the fray, bad mouthing Engoron's clerk. It's not that they don't think about the damage they're doing, the truth is they just don't care. They just need to be in charge. As someone said, they don't care if they burn down the house even if they don't have a plan to rebuild. It's not about rebuilding. To them, it's all about burning it down.

And for those of you who don't know, the Orange Anus is taking the stand this week as part of the penalty phase in his trial in New York City.
Oh, dear, I hope that image wasn't too graphic for those who are faint of heart, but let's face it, the time has come to call and anus and anus. It might be today, golly, I hope so. I understand there's some concern [[understatement) from his allies that he might just explode when he begins to be squeezed because the truth is that he is anything but seedless, [[that was just another one of his lies). As a result, people in the courtroom will probably be juiced.
Or is it Ivanka that's going to be testifying today. Ooops. Let's be honest, she will have no problem stabbing Daddy, or her brothers in the back. He groomed her well.

After anti-LGBTQ+ neo-Nazi leader Christopher Pohlhaus purchased a 10.6-acre property in Springfield, Maine with the hopes of turning it into a Nazi training ground, local residents found out about his plan and made him feel very unwelcome. He eventually sold the property, blaming “militant leftists” for the unwanted attention he earned.
Pohlhaus is founder of the fascist group “Blood Tribe,” a group that protested an Ohio drag brunch last May. His group chanted the words “Blood,” “Under the Aryan Sun,” and “No transgenders on our streets,” while throwing Nazi salutes. He also led a similar protest against a drag queen story hour in Akron, Ohio in mid-March.RELATED:He purchased the property in Maine and had sought help to clear the land to set up cabins and a training ground for physical fitness drills and weapons training in preparation for a violent race war, The Bangor Daily News reported. However, his plan caught the attention of the local press and government officials, including Aroostook County Sheriff Shawn Gillen, who questioned whether the campers would have illegal firearms or out-of-state warrants, something Gillen said is common in anti-government extremist camps, according to The County.

Nazi-loving anti-LGBTQ+ mayoral candidate pulverized in Tuesday’s election
But she wasn’t going down without one more scandal.
“They have a tendency to draw that type of crowd,” Gillen said. “People may be running from another state and say, ‘hey, I’m going to end up in Maine and nobody will know I’m here.’”
Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey said his office had been in close contact with the U.S. attorney and law enforcement agencies around the state to monitor Pohlhaus’s activity. Maine Sen. Joe Baldacci [[D) also said, “Paramilitary training is against the law, and he’s professed violence, or is at least supportive of violence, and that raises enormous concerns. People in Bangor are overwhelmingly appalled by their existence to advocate Nazi propaganda, and it’s just very disgusting.”
A local Planet Fitness gym also banned Pohlhaus because of “multiple member complaints” about his visible tattoos, one of which was a large swastika.
Pohlhaus reportedly sold the property on Tuesday. In a Telegram post to his followers, Pohlhaus said, “We made the decision to sell the 10 acres that was in my name up here. With the militant leftist doxing the location, it was basically too dangerous to fulfill its purpose to be a safe space for families to make the transition up here. People were coming up there all the time, snooping and getting very brazen, even driving down into the clearing.”
Pohlhaus held a September hate protest in which he and masked followers waved swastika flags, saluted Hitler, and shouted “White power” and “Jews will not replace us.”

And of course this happened yesterday.
Every time I got an update, I chuckled. The Moral Degenerate was not happy. His life is a shit show. It always has been. All the deceits he built is so-called financial empire are on full display proving he isn't even close to being the savvy billionaire his constant braggadocio led people to believe.
This leads people to ask how he can be beating Biden in the polls. Let me remind you, we're a year away from the election, that's important, but more important is the fact that people lie on polls. This is why every election people scratch their heads and ask, "how could the polls have been wrong?"
