“You guys can mock me for not knowing that. I worked about 22 hours in the last few days and I did not get the briefing on that. I will this morning,” he added.

Not 22 hours in one day, but 22 hours in a few days. Which means at least 3 days, which means less than 8 hours a day. Mike Johnson's concept of extreme hard work is less than the least demanding full-time job.

And in reality, he's probably done his own ACTUAL job of legislating on behalf of the people MAYBE 22 hours in the last month if not year.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

wow, that is some important context that the OP left out.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 126 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

He's literally trying to condescend while claiming incompetence.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 28 points 2 weeks ago

If I could be this incompetent with his compensation package, I'd be an insufferably smug prick idiot too

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 2 weeks ago

That's pretty much 90% of his public statements.

The rest are bigotry and weird bible interpretations, often at the same time.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

He can condescend because he knows he can blatantly lie to the world and face no consequences for it. It is the arrogance of power.

[–] Blibly@lemmy.world 65 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

You don't look like you worked 22 hours Mikey you lying dipshit.

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 32 points 2 weeks ago

I doubt he's worked 22 minutes.

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

If "working" means monitoring what kinds of porn his son watches, I might believe he put in 22 hours.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 weeks ago

“Given the heavy makeup covering the dark circles under your eyes, how do you respond to allegations that you are transitioning? And will you be going by Michelle?”

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

22 hours so far in his life

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 58 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"Follow up question, Mr. Speaker! Regarding that last half-a-dozen or so ICE agents that shot and killed people in various states of the union who didn't have body cams. Does there need to be accountability? Surely you've heard about at least one of those killings by now?"

[–] numerator3962@fedinsfw.app 15 points 2 weeks ago

Something along the lines of: “I’ll need to look into the specifics of each of those before I can provide an answer“

[–] cheat700000007@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Chill, Mike. Trump's dick can only get so clean

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Plus it's just going to become filthy again when he shits his diaper again a couple hours (minutes?) later.

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

That's why people are so hellbent on constantly cleaning it though. They know it requires constant maintenance.

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 30 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Asshole knows more about his son's masturbation habits than his god damn job

Which he's going to need to tell his son about.

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

He already knows. He was watching from his own phone.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

Had to crank out a tribute to Lindsay.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Play the clipshow of Johnson not knowing about major news stories. Wonder what his record is for claiming total ignorance in a day.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I don't know about any of that with the children

Edit, that is not a direct quote. That's the vibe

[–] stretch2m@infosec.pub 17 points 2 weeks ago

I can't wait for the day that fucking creepy dweeb gets some justice served up.

Worked*

*Jerked off to an L.L.Bean catalog

[–] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 14 points 2 weeks ago

How DARE you SOCIALISTS expect your Publicly Funded Politicians to WORK! WORK is for us LOW PAID Workers ONLY!

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

The press should be asking, what the hell was he working on during that time, if he's so locked in that he's not paying attention to anything? He's been making his primary job this year calling recess for the House.

*From what I saw, I guess Spkr. Johnson is trying to herd the MAGA cats to pass the economically regressive agenda to the Senate before August.

Follow up: What did he spend 22 hours working on that he thought was more pressing than federal agents killing innocent civilians?

[–] lemmy_get_my_coat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

There's still more rights to strip away from minorities and women, so could be that

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I had heard Johnson was dead along with Mitch and Lindsey.

Do his eyes look different than normal? Its suspicious that he doesnt know a damned thing thats going on in the US. Isnt representing people his whole effing job? I question his legitimacy. As the real Mike Johnson. The real Mike Johnson was also a slimey douche but he at least seemed to understand what was going on day by day.

Thats just a guy wearing glasses and a cheap suit. Look at the lady next to him. She doesnt beleive thats Mike Johnson either.

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Lindsey Graham is in hell and Netanyahu's dick isn't going to suck itself.

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago

Is the work here in the room with us now.

Show me on this doll where the work touched you.

[–] Klox@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Who knew being a total dipshit took so much work! I'm sure in 22 more hours he'll spin this into Biden's fault.

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So you worked for 22 hours yesterday and no one brought it up?? What exactly were you doing for 22 hours?

I think we need him to start keeping a log of what he actually does, sounds like he is milking the clock in a broom closet.

[–] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

More like "milking the broom in a storage closet" am I right?

Body cameras are a pro police not anti-police measure.

[–] speaksintv@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I didn’t realize browsing Grindr for 21.5 hours was considered work.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 3 points 2 weeks ago

Browsing Grindr isn't technically masterbation so he wouldn't need to tell his son that.

[–] monotremata@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

Fundamentally he doesn't mean that he doesn't know what happened. He means that he hasn't received his talking points about this yet.

He knows that there will be some way that the right-wing media ecosystem is going to frame this, and it's very important that his framing match theirs exactly. Somewhere a think-tank is working on the perfect wording that will turn an innocent victim into, somehow, an evil communist traitor who was a threat to an ICE officer and also somehow to the very concept of America. And if he tried to give his own spin on it before that, it would only make their job more complicated.

So yeah, he may know that an innocent man was shot, again. But he doesn't yet know the important stuff: how to make him the villain. He just hasn't had the time to get caught up on that! Give him a break.

[–] bender223@lemmy.today 5 points 1 week ago

Please be more understanding, Mike Johnson was very busy monitoring his son's porn activity. 😔

[–] ChetManly@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Cleaning trumps balloon knot with his tongue for 22 hours? Impressive...

[–] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

What a fucking embarrassment. I hope we pay dearly for electing these cocksucking demons. I pray for $7 a gallon gas.

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

He has to be one of the least informed politicians in memory.

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

22 hours on a prison chain gain shackled, in some godforsaken hell hole along a rattle snake infested highway is how this motherfuck should be spending the rest of his life.

Every single one in this regime must serve time. There must be consequences, there must be justice, and the death penalty absolutely should be on the table.

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

In other words: "Yes."
