Hopefully the next fine will be 300 million and losing his licenses to operate a business in New York. You seem to think imprisonment, fines and the lost of a professional license by all who worked for trump means nothing.

You must be a pathetic accountant, but then in Montana, my cat would qualify.

Hey mr accountant. Have you ever seen this in all your scammy years of pretend accounting?

what in the actual fuck? how does Mike Johnson not have a bank account
there's a lot about Holy Mike that just doesn't add up


dweebish little factotum Holy Mike Johnson became House Speaker because he was standing in the right place — the corner of What About This Guy Street and Fine, Let’s Just Get It The Fuck Over With Avenue — at the right time.

nobody knew dick about the guy, except that he was some kind of god-mad religious fanatic.

but now the facts are starting to leak out and and holy shit, there’s a lot going on that makes no fucking sense at all.

first of all, how the fuck does Mike Johnson not have a bank account?

The Daily Beast reports that in financial disclosures dating back to 2016, the year he joined Congress, Johnson never reported having a savings or checking account in his name, his spouse’s name, or in the name of any of his children. In his latest filing, which covers last year, he doesn’t list a single asset either. Which, given that he made more than $200,000 last year—in addition to his wife’s salary—is more than a little odd.

think about that. Mike gets paid. what does he do with the check? does he go to a check-cashing place in one of DC’s skeevier neighborhoods?

seriously? a United States Representative? I don’t think so. how is Johnson paying his mortgage, in cash? please.

Holy Mike isn’t talking, so reporters are left to speculate.

Of course, it’s unlikely Johnson doesn’t actually have a bank account. What’s more likely is Johnson lives paycheck to paycheck—so much so that he doesn’t have enough money in his bank account to trigger the checking account disclosure rules for members of Congress.

House Ethics Committee filing guidelines state that members must disclose bank accounts they have at every financial institution, as long as the account holds at least $1,000 and the combined value of all accounts—including those belonging to their spouse and dependent children—exceeds $5,000.

except that explanation makes no sense, either.

It’s certainly not uncommon for Americans to have less than $5,000 in their bank account. Most Americans—57 percent—couldn’t handle an unexpected $1,000 expense, according to a report earlier this year. And the median amount that Americans keep in their bank account is $5,300. But Johnson’s household income puts him in the top 12 percent of earners in the United States. And it’s extraordinarily rare for members of Congress to not list a qualifying bank account—let alone zero assets whatsoever.

let’s do some basic math. the base salary of a US Rep is $174,000 a year, and reps get paid once a month.

twelve times a year, Mike get a check for roughly $14,500, minus taxes — let’s say that his take-home pay is $8,000/month. again, what does he do with that check? if he puts it in the bank, his balance instantly exceeds the disclosure minimum.

so why isn’t Mike disclosing a bank account? where is the money going?

“It’s strange to see Speaker Johnson disclose no assets,” Libowitz told The Daily Beast. “He made over $200,000 last year, and his wife took home salary from two employers as well, so why isn’t there a bank account or any form of savings listed?”

what the fuck is going on here?

now let’s talk about Mike Johnson’s famous black son. here’s the story in a nutshell:

just like the bank story, holy shit, none of this makes sense.

27-year-old Mike adopted a 14-year-old boy, but he didn’t really adopt-adopt him, he “took custody.”

which, legally, is not a thing.

ok fine, let’s go with Mike’s story, he quote-unquote adopted this teenager, took him in, raised him, and … then what?

No African-American son shows up in any of the family photographs on Johnson’s House website or on his personal Facebook page. Nor does Michael figure anywhere in any of Johnson’s campaign biographies.

As I went further down this rabbit hole tonight I was a bit dumbfounded. Is Michael made up? Is he excluded from family pictures?

Personally i can't take much you say as fact. That's on you. Part of the reason
is that your continuing ridiculous defense of Trump will always be shameless.
