    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.

      That Eurotrash nudity was always such a gamble. Always a toss-up between actually attractive women, and a 73 year-old Danish naturist with tits like windsocks. Or Lolo bloody Ferrari and her horrendous stretched beachballs.

    “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.

  1. Links to news stories from…
  2. …credible sources, with…
  3. …their original headlines, that…
  4. …would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
