    The real problem is people that should be our leaders don’t want anything to do with all the bullshit involved with politics. So we end up with weirdos and crazies instead.

      God forbid anyone actually enjoys sex. It must be really confusing to know that God gave women clitorises. Clitori?

      I honestly think a lot of it is probably rooted in childhood and generational trauma (e.g. their parent(s) physically/verbally abused them for sexual curiosity at a young age, just as their grandparents’ did to their parents, and so on).

      As my friends who specialize in trauma therapy like to say, a majority of the weird/evil shit we see in the world is rooted in trauma.

      Serious sexual repression I think. Conservatives publicly treat sex and sexuality as things that are dirty and sinful. Sometimes they get caught out for doing weird shit because they can’t escape from their inherent human sexual urges.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Speaker of the House Mike Johnson admitted that he and his son monitored each other’s porn intake in a resurfaced clip from 2022.

    During a conversation on the “War on Technology” at Benton, Louisiana’s Cypress Baptist Church — unearthed by X user Receipt Maven last week — the Louisiana representative talked about how he installed “accountability software” called Covenant Eyes on his devices in order to abstain from internet porn and other unsavory websites.

    Outside of the creepy Big Brother-ness of it all, Receipt Maven also aired concerns about whether Covenant Eyes — which is still a working subscription-based service — might “compromise” Johnson’s devices, if he’s still actively seeking accountability.

    “A US Congressman is allowing a 3rd Party tech company to scan ALL of his electronic devices daily and then uploading reports to his son about what he’s watching or not watching….,” Receipt Maven wrote.

    Since he was elected Speaker of the House in October, Johnson’s history as a faith-obsessed, election-denying, far-right Christian nationalist has come under the microscope, from his time with the anti-LBGTQ organization Alliance Defending Freedom to his claim that school shootings could be blamed on abortion and teaching evolution.

    In an interview Sunday morning on Fox News, Johnson was asked about his history on abortion, including claims that he was opposed to contraception and IVF treatment.


    The original article contains 373 words, the summary contains 221 words. Saved 41%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    Huh? That’s so ridiculous it can’t possibly be true.

    Can we get another source?

    Edit: yeah. This is also reported by plenty of other sources.

      You probably already know this, but you need to keep a lookout for where the articles are actually sourced from. Just because multiple sources are reporting on something could simply mean they are affiliated outlets publishing the same story from the same original author.

      This saves time for affiliate outlets, but it’s a practice that is vulnerable to the rapid spread of misreporting or intentional misinformation.

          No.

          You got blasted because you tried calling a local newspaper a non-credible source despite it being proven it was very credible.

          You just didn’t like that it was a left wing site and wanted to discredit it. You failed hard and you’re still moaning about it days later.

          You’re getting blasted because you didn’t bother to read the “unbelievable story”, which contained a link to exactly what you asked for.

      If you read the article, they link to a tweet where he discusses it at length on video.

    Mike Johnson goes to the doctor for a checkup.

    Doctor says, “Mr. Speaker, you’ve got to stop masturbating.”

    Johnson says, “Why?”

    Doctor says, “So I can examine you.”

    Revealed: Mike Johnson watches more porn than the rest of the politicians combined, and apparently it’s a father-son activity.
