Resurfaced comments in which new House Speaker Mike Johnson talked about how he and his son monitor each other’s online activity using “accountability software” have raised questions about national security.

Johnson, a Republican who was first elected to Congress in 2016, spoke in 2022 about how he installed software called Covenant Eyes on his devices during a panel called “War on Technology” at Cypress Baptist Church in Benton, Louisiana, Rolling Stone reported.

According to a clip first posted on X, formerly Twitter, by a user called Receipt Maven, Johnson spoke about how the subscription-based service helps people abstain from internet porn and “objectionable” websites.

    Imagine needing spying accountability software to not watch gay porn. These weird homophobes really are the gayest of them all.

      Oh, no, it’s the porn that’s the problem, just being there all hot and gay.

        Yeah, god forbid the hot gayness leap out at unsuspecting homophobes! Better get some STRONG software to keep it at bay, instead of just, you know, just NOT BROWSING PORN SITES

          The thing is he’s admitting he has a problem he can’t control. Just not doing a thing is the reasonable approach for people who have self control.

          It also is an admission that the GOP’s preferred solution to temptation is doomed. Just Say No to drugs. Abstinence-only birth control. But he needs to subscribe to a service to keep him from watching porn.

        A lot of gay porn, like much straight porn, is really hot. I’m gay but some straight porn I’ve seen is really incredible. No one will ever convince me that enjoying people having sexual pleasure together is wrong, bad, indecent, immoral, or grotesque (unless it involves watching trump or mike johnson engage in it - which would be my definition of gross indecency).

        “Lord grant me strength…dammit Lord your strength is not enough!! What I really need is an ever present entity that I pay a monthly tithe to, constantly watching over me, judging my every move!! Surely there’s somebody out there better at this than you, Lord!”

      I think everyone should be allowed to watch all the gay porn they want. Even Mike Johnson.

        I think Mike Johnson should be forced into a chair with his eyelids clamped open ala Clockwork Orange and have to watch orangutans having gay sex mixed with scenes of apocalyptic nuclear mushroom clouds and teenagers jerking the wooden pole while making lemonade at Hot Dog on a Stick.

          I’m pretty certain something like that is what made him the way he is.

      “We have to ensure that America stays a Christian nation, a righteous nation. And sometimes that means helping to hold each other accountable, like two men holding each other in the bathtub after passionately making love with their fists. This means we need to be vigilant in filtering out all the sinful websites from our web browsers. Websites like twinktube.com, blackdickswhitebussies.com, cockgoblins.com, buttholeinvasion.com, footlongdong.com, and so, so many others.”

        So why do I feel more fist fucked after being molested by Christian beliefs than I ever feel after tub sex making love with our fists…

      If I weren’t already gay, I’d start watching gay porn just to overload the spying software and get under the skin of the homophobes out there. Really it’s NOBODY ELSE’S GOD DAMN BUSINESS what I watch or look at online. The only other person in the whole universe I’m accountable to besides myself is…NOBODY. I don’t owe anyone else an explanation for anything I look at for any reason at any time.
