Next time someone says lefties are too soft, remember that Mike Johnson feels deeply threatened by naked people on bikes in a city on the other side of the country from him.
Seems like he is totally cool with the stuff Donald Trump did with underage girls, but he can’t handle seeing adults naked?
Weird.
Nothing threatens Conservatives than casual nudity. Got it.
Trust the sexuality repressed American to see a naked person and get scared.
They're not all like that of course but their culture is kind weird, like they don't even seem to teach proper sex education in all their schools? They teach abstinence and such even sometimes? Wild.
This reads to me like mockery. As in, "Naked bike riding is the most dangerous demonstration so far." Not dangerous at all.
Poor wittle snowflake
That's just the penises awakening something in him again.
He's probably also thinks labias are scary and gross.
I saw a young girl with a knee on her neck the other day. Saw them arresting people at a Spanish speaking mass today. Idk I’ve seen some threatening things
The U.S. is such a strange place, where a sizable part of the population is more terrified of tits than guns.
Can i post this into the microblog memes community with the title "we need more open carry boobs"?
It would make much more sense if our MIC developed these...
...huh. I find the missile-to-bust ratio to be implausible.
He saw it on TV instead of through his porn accountability app. It was terrifying for him to not share his viewing with his son.
Oh yeah, he does that.
Dicks out for democracy.
Tits out against tyranny.
Candy ass can't hack seeing nekkid bodies?? WTF does he use grndr for, the conversations? lol
He just finds nekkid ladies to be icky. Also the men aren't necessarily twinks or bears that he enjoys.
What an impressively sheltered life he's lived.
Isn't that the most American statement ever. Belligerent assholes walking around with automatic rifles and tacticool pseudo military gear from Ebay? What a patriotic display! A bunch of people without clothes just biking around? The most threatening thing I've seen yet!
Lmao, Christians are too funny to me. Violence and murder, a-ok; little bit of nudity, "they're very threatening!"
So, he considers unarmed, naked people "threatening"? What a weak, cowardly snowflake.
I forgot nudity is like the ultimate taboo in the USA. Janet Jackson was sent to Guantanamo for her nip-nip popping out a little, while meanwhile over the pond there are nude Germans on every beach and children are raised by Eurotrash on late night TV.
Did he not see Jan 6th 2021?
You mean that fake Jan 6 Antifa woke FBI mob that were unarmed and just peaceful tourists?
Unlike that nothing burger, where five people died...
This VIOLENT bike ride had DICKS out.
I again ask, why did Trump pardon all those Antifa woke FBI crisis actors paid by Soros?
I suppose that's probably tied for the most threatening thing against ICE he's seen, but that's because nothing particularly threatening has been done at all. So, technically the truth?
Uh, I'd have gone with those planes crashing into the WTC, but sure.
Or the lunatics assaulting our capital to keep a wannabe dictator in power
Portland does this sort of thing every year. Clutch your pearls harder, you mushroom-fluffing fascist.
The only thing it threatened was your fragile sense of heterosexuality upon seeing all those chilly willies.
He's really thinking "All those cocks and not enough time to suck them all."
This Mike Johnson is the slimiest piece of glue holding a lot of this bad shit together. Fuck Mike Johnson and his glorious worship (or fear) of his dear leader. He's the wormtongue for our times.
I feel like pointing out the ignorance or cowardice in this statement is just playing their game.
The main purpose of the statement is to get a scary sound bite from a high ranking government official that the media can use to "credibly" scare millions of people who don't pay close attention to the world around them, and make the American dictatorship more palatable to them.
Then there's always the secondary benefit of rubbing their open hypocrisy in their enemies' faces.
Damn that's all they had to do? Show up? THAT's the most threatening thing they've seen? Holy shit send more nudists on bikes
What a fucking gimp lol... This is best laugh I've had in at least the month. The things these pussies are afraid of. Fucking lol
“Most recently,” Johnson went on, “the most threatening thing I’ve seen yet was the naked bicyclers in Portland who were protesting ICE down there. I mean, it’s getting really ugly.”
Though the people behind him appeared to stifle a smile, it does not seem that he was joking, because he went on to say that protesters have attacked officers and people have been arrested.
The phrase "the most threatening thing I’ve seen yet was the naked bicyclers in Portland who were protesting ICE down there," cannot logically be anything except a defense of Portland. There is no other logical interpretation. It logically means that Portland has nothing more threatening than peaceful naked bicyclers. They can't even carry a concealed weapon.
But since Johnson is apparently disconnected from reality and basic logic, he can say something that defends Portland and pretend like it is a criticism of Portland. Is it even possible that he's so delusional that he believes what he's saying? No, I think it's very unlikely.
Even though the article says "it does not seem that he was joking," I still have trouble believing it. I have to convince myself that Mike Johnson wouldn't publicly defend Portland as being safe in order to believe that he wasn't joking.
But then, what am I left with? No human being over, say, 15, with reasonable intelligence, could think about that statement that Johnson said and believe he was telling the truth.
So, the explanation is that Mike Johnson is so used to getting away with lying that he'll just say anything. And meanwhile, his audience are so used to not thinking that they don't even call him on it.
How DARE they ~~KIDNAP CHILDREN AT GUNPOINT AND TAKE THEM TO UNDISCLOSED LOCATIONS AWAY FROM THEIR PARENTS OR LAWYERS!~~ RIDE BIKES NAKED!
