And he'll continue to lie, because he believes that once he's done lying for the day...he can pray the sin away!

The popular belief that there is a supply of endless forgiveness granted by a particular version of a deity...that he claims to follow based on his "faith"!!!

His Bible says he will be held to account for false repentance and therefore false faith.
Jesus is quoted here by Luke 11:24-26

"...But woe unto you also, ye lawyers! For ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers...Luke 11:45 ...
Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered... Luke 12:52

No doubt Trump told Johnson to say these numbers



Speaker Mike Johnson inflates Trump’s crowd size: “He had over 100,000 people in New Jersey. And by some estimates far more than that.”

What would drive otherwise "normal" individuals to debase themselves in such a way? Other than power or the promise of power. It's disgusting. We all need to be on alert as the fall election approaches because there's no doubt in my mind Trumps people are hoping to sow distrust in the election and use Johnson to seal an unearned victory.

Speaker on the "100,000" rally numbers.
Mike Johnson should not be allowed to knowingly spread Trump's lies and get away clean.

I didn't know corruption and stupidity were reasons to take a workday off.

Never mind he's disgracing the high office he's been sleazed into by people as corrupt as he is.

Johnson and others of his ilk would happily push their own mothers into oncoming traffic for one of the little scraps TSF throws their way. They would literally crawl on their bellies for the chance to control those they see as less than. That's how greedy for power they are, and I hope this all blows up in their pathetic, worthless little faces.
