Anyone with an inkling of New York society or real estate knew the guy was an utter clownshoe. Hell, every contractor in the city and the surrounding state wouldn’t touch a property of his (and his shell companies) with a 10 foot cattle prod because he NEVER paid. There are lawyer firms that won’t even let him through…

What are the odds that he uses any fine as an excuse to squeeze more money out of his cult of followers? He will cover the fine and pocket the rest.

My favorite line:

Oh hey, that reminds me..  Did we ever find out who paid off Justice Kegstand’s debts and mortgage? No? Geez I wonder why..

It’s distressing that legislators basically have to be wealthy to afford to be in Congress. With that being said, Johnson is either so broke he’s a security threat (because the list of individuals and countries that could change his and his family’s lifestyle dramatically without breaking a sweat is very, very long),…

And also he’d have to go to the bank every week to cash it. Then to pay bills he’d have to go and pay cash for money orders at 7-11. otoh he's lying.

Yes, he’s existing in 2023 without a checking or savings account. <massive eyeroll>

Or ... and stick with me here ... he’s such a Christofascist whackjob that he doesn’t think the rules apply to him, and when confronted he’ll pull a “Thomas” and claim he was advised he didn’t have to follow those rules.

My reading was that the Daily Beast had that take because they have no hard evidence (yet) of him lying, but wanted to write a big profile on the fact that this makes no sense.

This. I am much more confident that Johnson is blatantly not disclosing his holdings for reasons that make sense only to him, rather than that he has no money.

Makes the fact that his first big act is to push for defunding the IRS that much more understandable.

So he’s laundering money. 

Aww, he’s just trying to emulate his hero, Big Daddy Donny, who also wears lifts and lies about everything.

This is hilarious.

I’ll never understand why some short guys are like this. My grandfather was five foot even, and he gave no damns about this. As far as I’m concerned, he stood head and shoulders over a nobody like DeSantis no matter how many pairs of high heels he has in the closet.

Anyone who’s seen a little kid wearing their Dad’s shoes recognizes Rob’s gait from the vid where he’s walking across the stage - his boots are several sizes too large for him, and he’s being super careful about where he puts his feet so he doesn’t trip.

The crazy thing is that I am sure he would infinitely prefer to defend his height (to quote George Costanza, “It is not a lie if you believe it is true”) than field questions like “your brand of fascism is immensely unpopular with other fascists across the US. Is it more of an indictment on you that other Nazis find…

There is something so pathetic about someone who has to constantly tell you how much of a manly man he is...

Any man claiming to be 5'11" is at most 5'9". Men who are between 5'10" and 5'11" all claim 6'.

LOL... you think they had a statement ready? Like, while he was still alive?

Kudrow: “So, you’re probably wondering why I called this meeting...”
Cox: “Where’s Matty?”
Kudrow: “Well, that’s what I want to talk about”
Aniston: “....”
Schwimmer: “What? We did an intervention a while back. He seems OK.”
LeBlanc: “Yeah, we…
