Well, it might have something to do with the fact that Mike Johnson is a christian nationalist that wants to turn the United States into a christofascist state.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Now, now, let's not go jumping to conclusions just because they happen to be based on facts and logic.
and the evidence, let's not forget the evidence.
Get outta here. Feelings don't care about your facts.
The answer is in the question.
This headline and article are begging to be in c/NotTheOnion, yeah.
Screams:
My Christian nationalist flag has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my flag.
I like that the Republican answer to losing elections is to double down on the religious crazy and ramp up the purity testing. All of that just makes it even easier to win elections against them.
Don't celebrate too soon. Thanks to gerrymandering, voter suppression and an unpopular Dem president, they still have a chance to retain the house and maybe even retake the Senate no matter how batshit crazy they get.
I'm not saying it's likely, I'm just saying that the risk is never zero and celebrating too soon increases that risk 🤷
Why is it that the article is about this flag, but doesn't have a picture of the flag. This is more upsetting than it should be.
It took some effort, but I found it.

Lol was it made in MS paint 😂
Yeah, probably whatever version of MS paint was available in 1775. It must have been even worse than modern version of paint.
The Tree Flag (or the Appeal to Heaven Flag) was one of the flags used during the American Revolution.
Huh
Probably because the flag looks like a toddler made it and it's not intimidating at all even though the implications behind it are very serious.
Seriously, this is journalistic malpractice. If it’s right outside the guys office then it should be easy enough to take a photo. I don’t need a flag to know this guy is bad news but I’m not gonna jump on the outrage wagon over an article with no photo.
We really need to start charging elected representatives with perjury when they blatantly violate the oath of office like this.
Violating the oath of office is a seperate crime, carrying stiffer penalties than perjury.
The Dems would never have the guts to enforce it no matter what, though, and the SCOTUS has a Christofascist majority itself.
Because he can't get away with flying a confederate or nazi flag?
Can't he?

I'd never heard of it.
Very funny for the religious right to be appropriating Locke quotes and Iroquois symbolism.
The Locke quotes reminds me of the Chinese concept of the "mandate of heaven", but more populist
That tree looks like it would make a nice cozy fire.
For anyone looking for the picture:
Thank you.
"Why are these cockroaches under this rock?!"
This is gonna have Mike Pence.level.of weirdness
Even Jesus thinks this guy is weird as fuck.
I must admit I did not-c that one coming.
As much as I'd like to say that religious nuttery should bar people from office:
Constitution, Article VI:
“no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
Next, he may want the Confederate flag, the Russian flag, and the Neo-Nazi flag hanging outside his office to indicate he wants everyone to vote for his opponent in the next election, and wants Hakeem Jeffries to end up becoming House Speaker instead.
Wtf is a neo Nazi flag?
I was referring to a flag with the Nazi symbol on it like they heil Adolf Hitler.
Because he's Panzerfaust Pinocchio. Next question.
Mike Johnson is a future traitor
