Mike Johnson must be feeling so many...many many things right now. This is like the girl he has a crush on asking him to pay for her abortion.
Trump says he wants to make IVF treatments paid for by government or insurance companies if elected
So was TFG's mouth moving when these things were said? It was? Then we can be sure it is a lie!
@Gladari
It is, as @elbutterfield says, a "sure jan" moment. And it also really puts him at odds with his coveted evangelical following. Now he publicly pushing back on TWO of their sacred tenets (national abortion ban, IVF ban). Curiouser and curiouser.
@MPCavalier @Gladari @elbutterfield
He probably got word to their pastors & preachers to tell them "😉"
He's just saying it to get votes, bc his end game is never having to vote again, as he so eloquently told them several times.
@ExecutiveFunction404 @Gladari @elbutterfield
Probably yes. But thats a slippery slope for them too. At some point they are going to have say “we dont agree with this but we’re still voting for him” and it's gonna look….weird.
@SaltyVeruca @ExecutiveFunction404 @Gladari @elbutterfield
Talking to MIL today - we were speculating that in his mind, he is going to be POTUS. Its not a question to him. So there are no consequences. He can lose the evangelicals and the crazies and the military. He doesn’t need anybody. In his soup-brain, he already is the president.
@SaltyVeruca @ExecutiveFunction404 @Gladari @elbutterfield
Thats not to say I wouldn’t be front and center to hear the evangelical illuminati say “maybe we were wrong about abortion….VOTE TRUMP!”
@MPCavalier @ExecutiveFunction404 @Gladari @elbutterfield I'm feeling like he just doesn't want it other than to protect himself while in office, which is a big motivator. I don't think he's too far gone to realize he's losing. He's definitely scared. What he does with that, I'm not entirely sure.
@SaltyVeruca @MPCavalier @Gladari @elbutterfield
I hope you're right, but I think he wants it bc he wants to be a dictator. If he's president, he doesn't have to answer to anyone. Then after he gets elected, as project 2025 says, they'll install him as king. Scotus got us halfway there already.
The pins are lining up, we just have to knock them down at the ballot in such strong numbers, scotus can't step in for any reason.
@ExecutiveFunction404 @MPCavalier @Gladari @elbutterfield I mean, that's the fear they're sowing although I think they fully plan a mid term replacement. I don't know what they're telling him. He's not going to be dictator, I know that much.
@SaltyVeruca @MPCavalier @Gladari @elbutterfield
Idk...I seem to remember someone else who was widely underestimated. Whose initial puppetmasters thought they'd actually be the ones in control.
I sincerely hope you're right, but I've read enough history to see major parallels...and it's honestly terrifying.
@ExecutiveFunction404 He's absolutely not as controlled as despots of the past, not does he buy into his own policy. He doesn't have one and is currently reversing himself on issues last minute. I feel like they're trotting out dead meat here. My gut feeling is either on track or dreadfully naive. I'll find out. In the end, I can have all the hot takes in the world but I still have one vote.
@ExecutiveFunction404 He's also fucking delusional. This isn't the guy. The next one is already learning from the mistakes he's making. That's the one I'm concerned about if it comes down to it. This clown is nothing.
@MPCavalier @ExecutiveFunction404 @Gladari @elbutterfield Just to butt in. I don't think he cares anymore. I think he's scared and wants out but can't so he's around to eff shit up, combined with his losing it breakdown. I hope. Time will tell.
