Johnson unloaded the following certifiable nonsense&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Nothing this incredible and insane has happened before. This is not something that the forefathers anticipated. It&#8217;s unprecedented. There is no legal precedent. No previous president had an autopen, or had the audacity to have people signing things on their behalf when they didn&#8217;t even know what was in it&#8230;The President was checked out of his job for quite some time, and everybody knows it.&#8221; [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[Biden] pardoned categories of violent criminals and turned them out on the streets.

Autopens have been in use by presidents since the 1950s. But more to the point, Johnson is flagrantly lying about Biden&#8217;s use of the autopen. Johnson has no proof that any executive action or pardon was signed by Biden, with or without an autopen, that he was unfamiliar with. Johnson is just blindly insulting Biden because that&#8217;s what infantile, desperate Republicans do.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, virtually everything that Johnson accused Biden of was actually true for Johnson&#8217;s Dear Leader Trump. And there is evidence of it as well. There is abundant video of Trump signing executive orders where he needs to have the order explained to him before he signs it. And certainly Trump had no idea who the 1,500 rioters were that he pardoned for their participation in the January 6th insurrection that he incited. They included many who pleaded guilty to assaulting police officers as they stormed the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>Talk about being <em>&#8220;checked out.&#8221;<\/em> Trump&#8217;s obsession with windmills, and showers, and strong men who cry and call him sir, is patently demented. The funny thing about Johnson&#8217;s comments about Biden is that they fit Trump so perfectly. It is Trump who is dangling by a thread of sanity. And the folks at The Meidas Touch put together a short video that really drives the point home.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3m4bgnjsis22d\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreigyfpfngouxfegvotrxx67cplq5cyhkixnvinoyavnr5wgxhgo4we\">\n<p lang=\"en\">HAHAHAHAHAHAHA&#8230;This would be the most honest speech Mike Johnson ever gave &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; If he actually gave it. #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg?ref_src=embed\">News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/post\/3m4bgnjsis22d?ref_src=embed\">2025-10-28T17:14:44.833Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.bsky.app\/static\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68077\" target=\"_blank\">King Trump Craves a \u2018Forever\u2019 Shutdown, Whining that \u2018You Can\u2019t Make a Deal With These Lunatics\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=67827\" target=\"_blank\">MAGA Mike Johnson Admits that the Shutdown is \u2018Something that We\u2019ve All Always Wanted to Do\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68007\" target=\"_blank\">Republican Leaders Call Millions of Americans Who Support the \u2018No Kings\u2019 Protests \u2018Terrorists\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the Republican Party chose Mike Johnson as their leader, and subsequently House Speaker, it was a desperation move following the crash of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the failure of any other Republican to garner enough votes for the job.
