Mike Johnson turns decades-old Jefferson prayer lie into whole new Jefferson prayer lie!

[Crepitus]

Oh, Crappy's a shill.
Paid by character count and OP.
So's guno.
He was off the chain earlier.

Don't project, Son. Your reactions are payment enough for me.

 

[The Duke]

Don't project, Son. Your reactions are payment enough for me.

What'd that just make you? 6 cents? That much, or less?
Do I need to list all the forums you shill on, bitch? Hmm?
You and midcan5 and a couple others.

Another concession.

Crappy doesn't like winning.

He now not only claims that Jefferson wrote and delivered this prayer, but that he said it every day form then on.

I really don't think the rubes appreciate what they have in Johnson.

No, he's not loud and noxious and shallow and childish and aggressive -- we all know how attracted they are to those traits -- but he's smart, he's a True Believer, and he's focused as hell. If they'd just let him be the grownup -- they don't like that trait, obviously -- he could play an important role in creating their authoritarian Theocracy Lite™.

What is it with republicans and lying? They get caught so often you gotta wonder what they are thinking when they do it again.

"oh, they'll never catch me this time even though they did the last 759 times.

So, by now most people have read or heard about how Mike Johnson, in his remarks after barely eking out a victory to continue his tenure as Speaker of the House in the 119th Congress, attributed a very Christian prayer, in Jesus’ name, to Thomas Jefferson.

A whole bunch of news outlets have reported that this prayer was never uttered by Jefferson, citing a page on the Monticello website that says it has “no evidence that this prayer was written or delivered by Thomas Jefferson.”

He now not only claims that Jefferson wrote and delivered this prayer, but that he said it every day form then on.

The Jefferson Monument wasn't built by Thomas Jefferson. Does that mean the Jefferson Monument isn't the Jefferson Monument?

Instead of harping on who penned the prayer in the first place ... perhaps you should focus on the words of the prayer and its intended purpose instead. You're stepping over a dollar to pick up a dime. It's time to mature.

The Monticello website is a source? Who runs the Monticello website and what are their biases. Do they hate god? Are the true to Jefferson or revisionist. What do they keep, what do the throw away

Seems unlikely? That is what they state about Jefferson's prayer. Seems unlikely would not hold up in court as a defense, in this case we can say it is Jefferson's prayer, lacking any evidence that it is not his prayer.

Ultimately, it seems unlikely that Jefferson would have composed or delivered a public prayer of this sort

seems to me that Jefferson MIGHT HAVE (unlikely) had a personal prayer, but it is unlikely that he would have published it

Seems to me the answer is definitive. Not the answer the article gives which is, "they said unlikely."

They will fight him at every turn. In their opinion he just isn't tRumpy enough.

That's one of the few bright spots lately.

Wow.

Dumbest deflection EVAR!

You and all democrats were denied the right to vote for Kamala in a democrat primary election. You are barking up the wrong tree on voting.

Democrats just demonstrated they will deny the right to vote. Nobody voted for Kamala Harris in a presidential primary.

This is a popular, and ridiculous right wing trope.

No one was denied the right to vote.

They have to operate on rage and aggression and emotion, because that's what the base demands. And even though he could be very effective as the smiling snake, he doesn't fit the MAGA Middle School Bully™ mold.

Another non-answer from an insignificant ant.

There was no primary for Kamala, that is a fact. When democrats start talking about voting rights and democracy they gave that up when kamala was made the candidate without a primary

Let us all know how that is working out for you-)

We actually laugh at you and your crew, lol. Know what you got? NOTHING, including enough intelligence to find the solution of 2 plus 2!
