He might just give it all to a religious entity. If so, which one?
Johnson is a professor at Jerry Fartwell’s Liberty University, which is embroiled in pretty much every type of scandal under the sun; up to and including suppressing reports of sexual violence; up to and including acts perpetrated by university presidents and administrators.
How bad is it? The university is being sued by Jerry Fartwell Jr. for wrongful termination over revelations about his creepy pool boy à trois activities.
The world would be a better place if these folks would just let their kink flag fly, instead of trying to smear their self-loathing all over the rest of us like we’re Wesson Oil on Florence Henderson.
I don’t know, nor do I care, what he does with his money. He has some…unique…ideas about how to live his life, but unless he is committing a crime, it’s none of my business. He can give it all to the church, to the widows and orphans fund…hell, keep it in a jar buried in his backyard for all I care.
And yes, sexual violence is a crime, but if he wants to wear women’s underwear, or somehow convince his wife that state law mandates she give him a hummer twice a week…knock yourself out.
But how he handles his finances is an issue for us as his employer. If you apply for any job these days, they’re going to run a background check on you, which includes pulling your credit report and your MVR.
If Johnson wants to be a Congressman, he needs to abide by the requirements of the job which include the financial disclosure. If he doesn’t like it, he can go off and do gay DILF porn for all I care.
What evidence do you have that he’s not abiding by the job requirements? Other than it’s not aligned with what you’d do? I get that it’s weird. He’s a weird dude. But being weird and being corrupt are two drastically different things.
The reportage is that he has failed to disclose multiple “gifts” of travel totaling tens of thousands of dollars. That’s ok if you’re a Supreme Court Justice, but not a congressman, let alone Speaker and second in line to the presidency.
To be fair, you could probably ask most of the Trump Org if they are “aware it’s 2023” and they could accurately answer “no”. And the higher up they are, the less “aware” they are. Of anything.
This episode was classic Trump. The guy was a “friend” and agreed to be an expert witness for free. Trump fed him some BS - in that the 40 Wall Street building was valued as condos, which Trump totally could do - and Witkoff merrily jumped into the witness box and regurgitated the Trump spin.
Then the NYAG attorney showed him a document that proved Trump had lied to him about the condos thing. Dude was excused within minutes.
There are plenty of candidates for the dumbest motherfucker in Congress. But James Comer is a stealth candidate based mostly on his complete and utter lack of self-awareness.
Comer has been parading around a check to Joe Biden from his brother for $200,000, purportedly being a loan repayment on a deal between the siblings involving shell companies and something something IMPEACH! OK, he’s in a position to investigate this, so knock yourself out! Find out if there is any impropriety and let us know.
But Comer doesn’t seem to want to do the investigation. He wants to go straight from finding a $200,000 check to removal from office. That’s not how this works. Otherwise, anyone who received a $200,000 check from their brother purportedly for a loan repayment could be summarily removed from office.
To wit, James Comer received a check from his brother for $200,000, purportedly being a loan repayment on a deal between the siblings involving shell companies and something something. I shit you not.
Here is Comer trying to remonstrate with the Dems’ resident troll, Jared Moskowitz, for insinuating dirty deeds regarding Comer’s check in the exact same way that Comer has insinuated dirty deeds regarding Biden’s check:
If Comer was investigating a Republican you would be on his side. You would then pull reasons out of your ass as to why he is right. However, since he is investigating a Democrat, you pull reasons out of your ass as to why he is wrong.
I was going to make a lame joke about this neck’s name Markwayne that his mother didn’t know which of her brothers knocked her up and sure enough he’s named after his uncles so there you go.
How the hell Oklahoma produced Wayne Coyne is something I will never figure out. Good thing his mother appears to have but one brother.
There must be something in the water. That state somehow also produced many great diverse non-country musicians like Woodie Guthrie, Chet Baker, Jimmy Webb, Leon Russell, The Gap Band, Barney Kessel, St Vincent, Don Cherry, Michael Hedges, Charlie Christian, J.J. Cale, Leo Kottke and more.
That’s my boss that was testifying at the time. She said the hardest part of the hearing was keeping a straight face when Comer called Moskowitz a “Smurf in a blue suit”.
