Oh Ann. This is beyond superb. I offer the following quote to MAGA Mike from the Rev. Jim Wallis: "Christianity is not a religion that gives some people a ticket to heaven and makes them judgmental of all others. Rather, it’s a call to a relationship that changes all our other relationships."
I hope MAGA Mike has a special place at Hitler's "stammtisch" (Regulars' table) for the aggregate evil he has perpetrated.
The problem is not just Johnson. It’s the entire Republican Congress. They have allowed their co equal powers to be usurped and they have become political eunuchs.
They don't care . . . they are doing their almighty best to achieve the final Rapture (i.e. end the world as we know it so they can join their dead brethren and forever be with their Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). They are on their way to achieving their goal! 😵💫
One wonders (I know I open many of my comments thus); however, one must wonder what sort of corruption happens to "devout" people who insist they have "faith," but their faith is as flimsy as a biodegradable paper straw. Their faith is only performative, what I learned years ago is called lip service.
Christian nationalists' hero now must be Mike Johnson. ... until his name is found in the "files."
I think some stupidity and lack of direction are involved. Like the pitiful lonely children who succumbed to reverend jim Jones’s “gospel” all those years ago. Social misfits who sell their souls to feel like they belong to the club, er cult. All that is required is blind obedience and willingness to accept the lies.
I do say a little prayer each night: Dear God, please save us from religious hypocrites who use you and all religions to control and control people. Who use religion to accumulate wealth and power.
Your closing line certainly pegs Johnson and all the other little Johnsons on the roster. Let's see if Trump makes them drink actual Jonestown Kool-Aid. Some may draw the line before that.
Fear comes first. Corruption comes afterwards. The deep need to be part of the group/tribe/congregation. They’re terrified of being ostracized and outcast. Centuries of indoctrinating people to comply, to be part of the group (tribe).
It would help those folks if they'd been born introverted. I have spent my life avoiding being part of a group and taking orders. It's my nature to question authority and why they expect me to comply. My usual response to commands from strangers is, " ... and you are ... ?" Btw, my life is not anchored in FOMO.
😱 Ann, when I opened it to see the full picture of your work my reaction 😂 (seriously) How you keep nailing every time. Again I’m glad you never stopped and we have you on Substack 🙏

Mike and his ilk are the typical so-called christians: everything written in the bible applies only to others, never to themselves.
I like to refer to Mikey as "The Magic Christian."
The GOP are scared of trumps gestapo army.
You mean the one they just voted in lockstep to multiply?!
I think his thugs are real.
Yep. Hit the nail on the head. I’d never have thought of his sycophantic obeisance that way but it’s brilliant.
He’d be in the group at HELL in the “Book of Mormon”!!!!!!! Right alongside Herr Hitler, Jeffery Dahmer et al!
Mike’s not the only worshiper, by any means. But he’s the most disgustingly subservient.
The problem is not just Johnson. It’s the entire Republican Congress. They have allowed their co equal powers to be usurped and they have become political eunuchs.
Mike Johnson--the hypocrite who claims to be a Christian. This is perfect, Ann!
the tie on the altar is the *chef's kiss*
She never misses the chance! Appropriately, the tie does double duty.
And the golden frame . . . a chalice for the sacrilegious hypocrite
Well done, Ann!
With the naked women.
Exactly! Ann always includes a detail that upon close examination speaks far louder than words . . .
Do those false Christians actually know they are bending a knee to the Beast?
They don't care . . . they are doing their almighty best to achieve the final Rapture (i.e. end the world as we know it so they can join their dead brethren and forever be with their Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). They are on their way to achieving their goal! 😵💫
Yes, but they are not going where they think they are going. Lots of karma to unravel for them.
Well, at least those Überpneumatic women can't possibly be twelve years old.
You could definitely sell these golden frames to Trump : )
It might be worth getting a patent on your design!!!

I’m sorry to say this but the biggest hypocrites are religious hypocrites.
I do say a little prayer each night: Dear God, please save us from religious hypocrites who use you and all religions to control and control people. Who use religion to accumulate wealth and power.
"Who use religion to accumulate wealth and power." Oh, my, YES!! Scamming the feeble-minded should be a "Thou shalt not."
Don't be sorry to state a straight-up fact. They are the most fervent, too, because they believe they are doing "God's will." SMFH

Nah, little MAGAMike couldn’t afford to play in Epstein’s league.
"Mike Johnson" has to be one of America's most common names. And this was far before his time.
He's just being a good little nazi.
😱 Ann, when I opened it to see the full picture of your work my reaction 😂 (seriously) How you keep nailing every time. Again I’m glad you never stopped and we have you on Substack 🙏
Captures the essence, Ann. Good work!
Johnson didn't forget Commandment #1. He never knew it. He says he knew it, but he didn't. A total liar, like his King.
Ouch!
Birds of a feather....wonder what Lil' Mikey has in his closet?
A- shouldn’t that bible be upside down? 🥸 Well done.
The Republicans are running away from the House in panic! "Shut it down! Make my duty go away! Save my trump-tattooed skin!"
You are too kind - I would have said their Trump-tattooed butts!
Nailed it again, Ann. His God is power and mammon.
I told this man that If I was walking on the streets of gold in Heaven and I spotted him coming my way, I would cross to the other side.
What makes you think he would be there?
Ouch - good one!
