Wisconsin's Fascist Dimwit “Revises” His Delusions
(...which is not the same thing as saying, directly, in public, in plain english, that he was wrong. He’s just stopped repeating certain lies, certain fantasies, and certain conspiracy theories.)
"Even though those thousands of people that were marching to the Capitol were trying to pressure people like me to vote the way they wanted me to vote, I knew those were people that (sic) love this country, that truly respect law enforcement, would never do anything to break the law, and so I wasn't concerned...”
"... Now, had the tables been turned -- Joe, this could get me in trouble -- had the tables been turned, and President Trump won the election and those were tens of thousands of Black Lives Matter and Antifa protesters, I might have been a little concerned.A"
That fantasy dribbled from the mandibular drainpipe of Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson,1,2 a long-hauler still showing symptoms of Ebola-in-the-brain.3 Renowned for spewing word-salad that has been likened to fracked well water gurgling out of a burning faucet, this particular “open-the-tap-what-the-hell-is-this-shit!?!?” event took place in an extra-special safe spot for Senator Souphead, an AM radio coke-snort hosted by some angry old white guy.
Ron's brain cell just can't keep all his conspiracy theories and alternate realities straight. (Time to change out the formaldehyde, Ron!) Compare Johnson's March 11thdrip (above) with his pretzel-twist assertions of February 23rdbelow:
“Since the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, some of former president Donald Trump’s supporters have suggested it wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. Initially, the argument was that maybe this was the work of provocateurs like antifa trying to give Trump supporters a bad name. Johnson recently spearheaded the effort to argue that the event wasn't actually an armed insurrection. But then he spent most of his time planting seeds of doubt that the violence wasn’t actually the work of Trump supporters (emphasis mine).B,E
To summarize the “evolution” of Johnson's claims: “It was antifa! No? Well, uh...our Trump-cultists were peaceful! No? Ummm, wait...got it! Our Trump-cultists weren't armed! They were? Wait! (Scrambling through binders of old conspiracy theories) It was Hunter, in the library, with a candlestick! Cross my Benghazi, hope to Hillary! Honest emails!”
During the February 23rd hearing, in which Senators asked law enforcement officials about January 6th security failures at the Capitol, Johnson squandered much of his time quoting from a contradictory and delusion-filled account by J. Michael Waller, a fringe-element, right-wing buffoon.
“Waller claimed, without evidence, that people 'whom I presumed to be Antifa or other leftist agitators' were the ones who attacked police officers and turned ‘unsuspecting marchers into an invading mob.’”C
After reading segments of Waller's ridiculous “account” during the hearing, Johnson asked that it be entered into the record. Good. It will serve as evidence of Johnson's cognitive dysfunction, and his as-yet undiagnosed pathology. This fool is unfit for public service. He didn't attend the hearing to learn what happened. He had his own idiotic agenda: toss buckets of Waller's bilge at the public.
Ever the weasel, Johnson is careful to follow the regimen set by his handlers. You see, he doesn't say directly that this is what he himself believes. That gap gives him deniability. He just peddles Waller's laughable fantasy, one discredited by Trump supporters themselves, as seen below:
“BuzzFeed News was on the ground outside the Capitol on Jan. 6 and witnessed hundreds of Trump supporters attacking the Capitol, as well as media and police, carrying Trump signs and waving Trump flags. Many of the rioters who have been charged for the insurrection have explicitly said that they are Trump supporters who came to DC prepared for a fight and went into the Capitol because they believed Trump was directing them to. Joseph Padilla, who is charged among other things with joining a group that attacked police with a giant Trump sign with a metal frame, for example, posted on TheDonald after Jan. 6 that he wanted to be clear it was 'Patriots' like himself who attacked the Capitol, not “Antifa,”C
Testimonials from other rioters are equally blunt:
"Listen up: I hear so many reports of 'Antifa' was storming the capital [sic] building. Know that every single person who believes that narrative have been DUPED AGAIN!" Ryan Taylor Nichols, a Marine Corps veteran charged in the attack, posted on Facebook on Jan. 7, according to court documents. "Sure, there may have been some 'Antifa' in DC, but there wasn't enough to 'Storm the Capital' [sic] themselves."
Court documents show another man charged in the riot, Brandon Straka, wrote on Twitter on Jan. 6: "It was not Antifa at the Capitol. It was freedom loving Patriots who were DESPERATE to fight for the final hope of our Republic."
Jonathan Gennaro Mellis, charged with assault for allegedly trying to stab police officers with a large stick, put it simply on Facebook: "Don't you dare try to tell me that people are blaming this on antifa and BLM. We proudly take responsibility for storming the Castle."D
The FBI weighed in:
“Shortly after the riot, the FBI directly refuted the conspiracy theory, saying there is "no indication" that antifa — a decentralized collection of far-left groups and individuals — was involved. To date, no one who has since been charged in the attack appears to have any connection to the anti-fascist movement either.”D
Johnson chose to remain ignorant of the facts. Hell, he refused to acknowledge the statements of Trump cultists who participated in the assault! (“Tunnel-visioned Twit from Wisconsin Strikes Again!”)
And why, you wonder, would Johnson ignore/discount the FBI, of all entities...? Because Johnson. If the facts, the evidence and the science say “Yes,” Johnson says, “Sunspots!” or “antifa!” or “election fraud!” The DSM may not have a name, yet, for this dis-coherence. Let's offer “Johnson Syndrome.”
Now compare Johnson's efforts in February to sell Waller's outright lies, delusions and projections about who assaulted the Capitol, with the quote from March that begins this post. Look at that! Johnson has, in his bassackwards way, pulled a Johnson. He has backed away from his claim that antifa and/or supposed provocateurs were to blame for the assaults on Capitol Police Officers and the damage to the Capitol. He's no longer, hiding behind Waller, no longer insinuating in his cowardly, weasel-speak manner that it was antifa. Johnson's spin has morphed into if it HAD been antifa...
I join with the majority of Americans and declare that I, too, don't give a shit about Ron Johnson's “what ifs”... The idiot cannot (or, due to some bizarre cognitive deficit, refuses to) grasp what did happen.
That's as close as Wisconsin's Weasel-speaking/Trump-fluffing Moron will ever come to saying, in plain english, that he was wrong. So let's say it for him. Johnson was wrong. Johnson was wrong AGAIN. Johnson got it exactly wrong. Johnson excels at wrong. Johnson couldn't hit the broad side of a “Right” if his nose was pressed up against it. His overheated brain cell operates in only one direction: the wrong one.
And, Johnson lied, baldly, when he said he “knew” the Trumpist mob “love this country, truly respect law enforcement, would never do anything to break the law.” Bullshit.
But Johnson is dog-whistling at AM Talk Radio cult members, who have been spoon-fed sermons full of insinuations and rumors, long-disproven, that BLM protests were violent affairs.A Sorry, Culties, the facts and statistics show those protests were overwhelmingly peaceful...i.e., nothing like your January 6thassault on the Capitol.
Johnson made another bassackwards admission in that opening quote:
“...had the tables been turned, and President Trump won the election...”
There it is! He now admits that Joe Biden won the election! (“Tee hee! Snigger! Snigger!”) We know it's just killing him to admit that his Tangerine Idol, the Tribble-Crested Gollum, lost the popular vote and the Electoral College vote. Just. Killing. Him. That place inside Johnson where his soul would reside, if he had one, is aching. So he had to let that little truth-leak sneak out sideways. He couldn't say it openly, directly, honestly, the way a grownup can...
Missing from all of Johnson's time spent babbling in Senate hearings and babbling in AM radio coke-snorts is any apology to his constituents and to the nation. Johnson never says, openly, simply, directly, “I was wrong. What I said, what I insinuated, was wrong. It was completely wrong. I told horrible, irresponsible lies. I misled you, and I am sorry. I am changing right at this moment. I am now, for the first time in ten years, dedicating myself to genuine, transparent public service.”
Yeah, THAT will never happen...
You'd have to possess an ounce of integrity, an once of courage, an ounce of morality, an ounce of humility, to do it. Johnson's pathology will admit none of these into his microverse. Being a Republican requires a frontal lobotomy, injections of avarice, and cult-level indoctrination into that cabal of sociopaths. Admitting you were wrong? Not on the syllabus. Incompatible with greed.
But I know you're all wondering, “What lunacy, what half-baked nutjob-cake, what mutated meme, what crackpot conspiracy theory will the helium-headed leech latch onto next?”
It is long past the time for Wisconsin to elect an additional Democratic Senator and rededicate the state to solving it’s own problems and playing an important role in solving the nation’s problems.
Johnson has not only been a clot and an impediment to representative governance, he has worked actively to advance Fascism and totalitarian rule. It beggars belief that we'd have to denigrate and condemn a supposedly American politician of any political party with such damning observations as “...worked actively to advance Fascism and totalitarian rule.”
This idiot-puppet and his cancer-like handlers must, must, be excised from public influence and public office, and their interests eviscerated.

Notes
1. AKA, “Russian Ron.” Johnson spent July 4th, 2018 in Russia, getting new instructions in how to bring down representative government.
2. AKA, “Senator Sunspot.” Johnson said he believes sunspots cause global warming.
3. “In an interview with Newsmax on October 16th, 2014, Ron Johnson participated in the GOP’s fear-mongering about the Ebola virus prior to the 2014 elections, claiming that it was a “clear and present danger” that ISIS might purposely infect its own followers with the disease, and come to the United States to deliberately spread it. The director of the FBI and the head of the Department of Homeland Security actually had to go on record to deny this ridiculous claim, which is not just paranoid, it’s medically and strategically ridiculous.”
