and he blushes, even though his words are smooth. He knows Jesus doesn't like liars and he's going to Hell for being a shitty Christian.

I don't think they believe in hell or even God. It's a schtick or a persona.

Good Churches should be banning these fools.

And history has shown us over and over what happens when religion turns political.

People don’t know when a skilled liar is lying.

Everyone knows Mike Johnson is lying.

They lie, cheat, murder, steal without remorse. Fear them, don't vote for them.

FACILE liars. They are actually very bad at it, but do it so easily, they just move from one bad lie to the next.

They know that a torrent of lies cannot be countered - even in political "debates".

Trump does it naturally. One presumes Johnson has had GQP Media Training like so many other smooth liars in that party.

There are also the things they believe that are not so, so when they talk about those falsehoods, they're not lying per se...
