Yes. They stated they would vote for a clean bill and then did what they said. Like adults.

I hope that nickname sticks lol

Copied a previous comment of mine. There's some ugly context to this:

Former fundie here. Y'all are probably misinterpreting what is going on.

Mike Johnson is a True Believer™ from what I've seen. Doesn't mean he's not a terrible person, but his motives and actions aren't necessarily as simple as repressed urges to view gay porn.

The most likely explanation is that Mike Johnson's son was watching porn and got caught, probably more than once. He probably admitted his guilt early on, but he attempted to hide the activity. So, not only do you have the kid for sexual immorality but you've got him for dishonesty. After hours of lectures at the boy - involving his mother, father, possibly clergy or youth leadership - the poor kid is probably swearing on a stack of bibles that he sees the light and will never do it again. That's not good enough. He can't be trusted as this isn't the first time.

This passage was probably pounded in bone deep:

Matthew 5:

27Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 29And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. 30And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

So, the boy should rip out his own eyes and cut off the hand he jacks off with. Maybe he should castrate himself. If the behavior continues, he's willfully hellbound. Doesn't he understand?

So, Mike Johnson, wonderful paragon of fatherly leadership, says they will both install this software. That way he can prove what a good person he is and bear the cross of his son's sin. See how great he is? He's helping the boy with his problem. Barf.

So, now the kid's 'sin' is making national news and impacting his father who is a Great Man™.

Christian guilt in a nutshell.

I really feel for the poor bastard. Hopefully he makes it out from under the shadow of his father's insanity. It's truly evil shit.

What's that nickname from?

He did exactly what they threw McCarthy out for and Democrats got everything they wanted, Republicans got nothing of what they wanted.

It's still in place: https://www.axios.com/2023/10/29/johnson-gop-house-speaker-rule

The far righters weren't happy and voted against this. But they said they weren't going to kick him out because of it.

It seems that that may have mostly been a guise for how much the Freedom Caucus personally hated Kevin McCarthy more than anything.

You have to remember, these people don't actually have principles or goals.

Your wish is granted. https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2023/11/14/tim-burchett-kevin-mccarthy-hallway-scuffle-intv-sot-manu-raju-cnc-vpx.cnn

It's basically just WWE, and just as real.

Deathmatch on the Senate stairs!

Yet despite that...

Tuesday’s statement from the House Freedom Caucus included the line: “… we remain committed to working with Speaker Johnson”.

Good. Let them keep pushing and pushing. At this point, the only thing that will save this country is Trump et al managing to destroy themselves. We only got Obama because Bush let Wall Street run amok.

No, they didn't realize it yet. That's why so many of them voted against it.

They realized not nearly as many people have been drinking the kool-aid as they thought. So they're pulling back a bit to sweep some of the rubble under the rug so they can go full bore on how incompetent Democrats are by not fixing everything all at once all the time and try and win more seats in next years major election.
