Try not to get choked up too soon, hunny.
if I was grieving for my one day dead spouse I donāt know that a public announcement that I would be seeking their seat in the legislature is what I would be doing. but to each their own, right?
reporting about the church he was pastor for was interesting, with āspring breakā like parties with bikers and half naked teens, tons of alcoholā¦, I think Josh posted some interesting information about this guysās background
Wow, her āurgencyā makes me wonder if it really was a suicide?
Johnson, who pastors a church in Louisville, held a news conference from his pulpit on Tuesday, defiantly denying the allegations.
Say no moreā¦
I first got a push notification, from the Courier Journal, about her intention to run for his seat. That was at about 1:00. He hadnāt been dead for 24 hours yet. Youād think sheād be a bit more concerned about her five children who just lost their dad to suicide.
Iām sorry but these two sound like QUITE the match. Heās lied and conned and wiggled for their entire 30 years together and now she calls it a āhigh tech lynching based on half truthsāā¦For Godās sake. You can fool some of the peopleā¦and on and on and on.
Holy shit!
No sheās not going to grieve. She is going to mask that with full out grievance pushing instead. Itās our fault her husband killed himself - us and the media. Thatās what she just said.
Body is not even in the ground. Weird.
Yep. Sheās been with him for thirty years; sheās in on the con.
Itās not like this is a single allegation of sexual assault of a minor, either. It is the thing thatās getting the most attention now (sadly, perhaps), but even without that his record is despicable. Heās a con man who uses Jesus as a shield for his debauchery and hatefulness and lies, and its hard to believe that in the this age heās been able to get away with the wild parties at church and the claims of being at 9/11 and the White House and the Rodney King riots and so on. Itās not the kind of job where the spouse kisses him goodbye as he jumps into a commuter train and disappears for 10 hours. Sheās right there with him. He wasnāt doing all this stuff behind her back without her complicity.
I get it, heās a con man, and Iām sure he conned her too. But not without her permission, certainly now that that five part series is out. I was going to listen to it soon - guess Iāll move it up the list now. Itās not an article, by the way, itās an entire website - The Long Con.
If he hadnāt been able to buy a handgun, heād probably still be alive. Which, now that I think about it, is an excellent argument for second-amendment absolutism.
buh bye, troll
Rebecca Johnson said she has been fighting behind her husband for 30 years
Am I the only one sensing this leads to a predictable dĆ©jĆ vu?
Welcome ā¦ newbee !!
Any other words of wisdom so soon ? ? ā¦
What was that ? ? ā¦ 30 seconds ! ? ? ā¦
This is dysfunctional in about 5 dimensions -
But what is it that raises this tawdry twisted saga to national exposure level? This hypocrite was a state rep - a manipulative preacher - and a pervert - a member of the lower house in Kentuckyās legislature - one of 100 (- the upper chamber has 38 members ) this role pays something like $20K - he had modest clout in a small pond.
It is Christmas ā¦ ya know ā
Would this be characterized as āshooting fish in a barrelā or more like āhunting dairy cattle at close range with a high-powered rifle and scopeā?

Suicides arenāt usually martyred
but this woman is just getting started.
You really ought to read the Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting article on this guy. He was truly a despicable con man, a fraud, and just an all around bad dude. Itās jarring and a little scary that someone so thoroughly horrible would get elected to state government (I know how ridiculous that sounds in the age of PP) and then kills himself when heās exposed. Add in the sexual assault allegations, guns, and religion, and of course this is a national story.
Flagged, yāall.
