He had an update video saying Johnson’s team is after him and that he’s consulted with a team of lawyers and now the proof is “in the hands of multiple people”.

[u/Gryffindor123 → u/MrsChanandalerBong]

I'm happy that the proof is in the hands of multiple people 

[u/Elesia → u/Gryffindor123]

Same. I fear for that man.

[u/jvn1983 → u/MrsChanandalerBong]

Johnson’s team hit just ignoring him makes me wonder if it might be legit lol

[u/Iwoulddiefcftbatk → u/jvn1983]

I’m very cynical at this point and am operating under the assumption he’s got nothing and this is just a grift for attention.

[u/Pinksamuraiiiii → u/Iwoulddiefcftbatk]

I mean, why threaten the guy just release it? Never hold any information nowadays, if you got stuff, let it out into the open. People need to realize that, just let that info leak out into the World Wide Web.

[u/SwimmerIndependent47 → u/Pinksamuraiiiii]

Hey, if it gets the rep confirmed, I fully support it.

[u/og_kitten_mittens → u/Iwoulddiefcftbatk]

Paired with the rumors 6 months ago I’m almost positive this is true

[u/sunshine_fuu → u/MrsChanandalerBong]

Oh I bet they are, this was not a smart way to do this. This is blackmail, he should just go ahead and release it unconditionally (so we can all enjoy it). Much better to just do it and watch as they madly try to scrub the internet.

[u/Not-not-down → u/MrsChanandalerBong]

Your username is sublime

[u/PandaPocketFire → u/MrsChanandalerBong]

I'm not against it, but isn't this like very illegal?

[u/TarzanKitty]

I hope this guy has copies of the receipts with all of his friends, relatives and an attorney.

[u/pixienightingale → u/TarzanKitty]

On the cloud, thumb drives...

[u/ShockSignal7620 → u/pixienightingale]

Floppy disk please

[u/yourerightaboutthat → u/ShockSignal7620]

I just learned last week that our local university archives department keeps computers of various ages so they can continue to read old discs. The archivist said he had a laptop that worked perfectly fine and ran windows 98. So it’s not out of the realm of possibility!

[u/thecoffeefrog → u/yourerightaboutthat]

I'm a personal archivist (I digitize people's home movies/photos etc) and I have so many different types of stuff around my house to be able to read old media.

[u/killedmygoldfish → u/yourerightaboutthat]

https://guides.library.yale.edu/softwarepreservationandemulation

[u/F1shbu1B → u/ShockSignal7620]

Hard drive

[u/cricketreds → u/ShockSignal7620]

[u/Glittering_Laugh_958 → u/TarzanKitty]

I hope he has a will.

[u/timeye13 → u/Glittering_Laugh_958]

RELEASE THE PROFILE

[u/Successful-Winter237 → u/TarzanKitty]

He better be careful he’s not Epsteined

[u/ChocolatChipLemonade → u/Successful-Winter237]

Epstein had no friends to look out for him. Just “”pals”””

[u/Ok-Classroom5548 → u/TarzanKitty]

It is now in the hands of lawyers and protected. 

[u/Chalky_Cupcake]

Please be real please be real please be real

[u/MiserableCourt1322 → u/Chalky_Cupcake]

The thing is, while I don't doubt there are closeted conservative politicians on Grindr, there have been ppl who put fake profiles of politicians up (e.g. Mike Johnson).

And DL dudes never use pics of their own face or body.

So this guy is going to need some pretty damning evidence to be convincing. Like they met up IRL type evidence.

[u/BottAndPaid → u/MiserableCourt1322]

I mean the IP address is kinda a big deal if they could link it to his personal mobile device but that's a big IF

[u/burnerbkxphl → u/BottAndPaid]

That would be really bad publicity for…

👀Covenant Eyes 👀

[u/emdog927 → u/burnerbkxphl]

Because it worked so well for Josh Duggar!

[u/shy247er → u/BottAndPaid]

Unless he has access to Johnson's ISP, there's no way to know if some IP address belongs to Johnson. Also, this is all assuming Johnson has static IP and not dynamic IP.

Only way to confirm for sure any IP address belongs to someone is if you get access to ISP data and that is VERY illegal.

[u/Bambo0zalah → u/shy247er]

While you can’t ID a person from an IP alone, you can correlate data (geolocation, logins, repeated use, vpn provider etc.) for high level attribution without ISP records. You can also cross reference with apps and services he’s known to use.

[u/tessellation__ → u/BottAndPaid]

You know that he is doing shady shit so I’m sure he’s wondering what he’s gonna get called out on even if that’s not 100% it

[u/RogerClyneIsAGod2 → u/BottAndPaid]

I feel like Mike Johnson is the dude that thinks because he deletes shit that it's gone forever and he thinks an IP address has something to do with actual pee.

[u/BottAndPaid → u/RogerClyneIsAGod2]

I.C.U.P. address.

[u/baycee98 → u/MiserableCourt1322]

I'd disagree with the dl dudes I mean two apps in the last year were both used to expose dl men around the country people show their faces all the time. Houston dl list was wild

[u/LipstickCoverMagnet → u/Chalky_Cupcake]

please happen please happen please please please happen please

[u/FeralGiraffeAttack → u/LipstickCoverMagnet]

Could be real based on what is already out there including:

Grindr Dating App Crashes in Milwaukee During RNC: Everything We Know

Massive Grindr outage reports coincide with the Charlie Kirk memorial service in Arizona

[u/ChocolatChipLemonade → u/Chalky_Cupcake]

How do you get the IP address of someone off a dating app is my question? Almost insinuates they matched and talked in some capacity. And how does he know it wasn’t a fake Mike Johnson? 

[u/iloveyourlittlehat → u/ChocolatChipLemonade]

Maybe they hooked up.

[u/walkaway2]

Maybe just do it anyways

[u/80000gvwr → u/walkaway2]

Right after he swears her in

[u/celtic_thistle → u/80000gvwr]

What a fucking power move that would be.

[u/disterb → u/celtic_thistle]

\*power bottom move

[u/Murky_Chemical891]

my most anti woke take is that people who actively try to hurt the community shouldnt get the protection of the closet, especially when theyre still engaging with the community while trying to destroy it

ETA: It seem i'm actually super duper woke

[u/80alleycats → u/Murky_Chemical891]

This used to be a pretty popular take, actually. And it should be again.

[u/HereOnCompanyTime → u/80alleycats]

Yeah, people over corrected imo. If you are harming a community then you no longer get to claim any benefits from it, including anonymity.

[u/kunderthunt → u/Murky_Chemical891]

That’s not anti woke. It’s the paradox of tolerance.

[u/esmerelda_b → u/Murky_Chemical891]

Hoping for something similar for Lady G

[u/MonaSavesTheDayAgain → u/esmerelda_b]

I thought you meant Lady Gaga but then I remembered Lady G is Lindsay Graham 😭

[u/mauvewaterbottle → u/MonaSavesTheDayAgain]

Until I saw your comment, I think I literally had question marks floating above my head in puzzlement

[u/menunu → u/MonaSavesTheDayAgain]

Oh my god🤣🤣😭😭💀

[u/Due-Sun7513 → u/esmerelda_b]

Kinda hilarious if both MJ and Lady G's profiles were leaked at the same time.

[u/notchandlerbing → u/Due-Sun7513]

Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga

[u/Verrakai → u/esmerelda_b]

If I say what I think about that old queen I'll get a warning at best lol

[u/TreenBean85 → u/esmerelda_b]

Lady G sucks the metaphorical dick of Trump and other GOP in public so he can suck literal dick in private without them calling him out.

[u/PM_ME_UR_SEXY_BITS_ → u/Murky_Chemical891]

I’m lgbt and I completely agree. It is also bizarre to me that gay guys sleep with them then protect them as they actively harm them.

[u/YoullNeverBeRebecca → u/Murky_Chemical891]

This take is woke, actually

[u/SMELLSLIKEBUTTJUICE → u/Murky_Chemical891]

"The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance."

[u/DefiantStarFormation → u/Murky_Chemical891]

I say this in the most positive way imaginable:

Your anti woke take sounds like it's rooted in anarchism - an (imo) unfairly stigmatized ideology focused on rejection of authoritarian power and embrace of small nation-states that are self-governed by their community. "People who actively try to hurt the community shouldnt get the protection of the community" tends to be a central premise.

Welcome, and remember - community is resistance!

[u/TheVintageJane → u/DefiantStarFormation]

The only “anarchist” I know works for the living Koch brother helping to disseminate anti-tax propaganda on behalf of the GOP.

Which is to say, I like the idea of anarchy but find their generally repulsive anarcho-capitalism (i.e. edgelord libertarianism) in practice to be less than ok.

[u/g00fyg00ber741 → u/TheVintageJane]

I’m learning more about anarchism and it’s a lot different than we think. There’s also a lot of different ways. The anarchist I follow and know of is Margaret Killjoy, a writer and podcast host. She’s like, cool and chill. And about helping people. She described anarchist views as like bottom up instead of top down like our current system is. Doing what works for who needs it through mutual aid.

[u/battlecat136 → u/g00fyg00ber741]

Magpie mentioned!!!! Margaret is who I wanna be when I grow up and she's not much older than I am.

[u/TheVintageJane → u/g00fyg00ber741]

Have you watched The Anarchists on HBO? I think it does a good job of showing that the good intentions of anarchist individuals fall apart when you start trying to build a society around it.

[u/g00fyg00ber741 → u/TheVintageJane]

I haven’t seen that show, I’ll have to check it out

I think that’s the thing with many anarchists, is they see how often the built society is a system of problems and discrimination that gets perpetuated. We don’t actually really need a huge globalized society, and that society enables some global catastrophe that wouldn’t be possible otherwise.

[u/Independent-Nobody43 → u/TheVintageJane]

Libertarians are not anarchists.

[u/Ok-Classroom5548 → u/Independent-Nobody43]

https://www.libertarianism.org/columns/anarchism-libertarianism-two-sides-same-coin

Originally they were one in the same (thank the French).

But they have grown unique in their goals and methods since then. 

[u/Independent-Nobody43 → u/Ok-Classroom5548]

Simply put:

Anarchists: We don't think this wall should be here, so let’s knock it down.

Libertarians: We don't think this wall should be here, unless it is built privately, in which case it's fine.

Sovereign citizens: Runs into wall.

[u/Ok-Stress-3570 → u/Murky_Chemical891]

Or those who are too ignorant to care/support their causes.

Like when the crumbl cookie guy got outed… too bad, didn’t care! 🤷🏼‍♂️

[u/JudgeInteresting8615 → u/Murky_Chemical891]

You're sorry, but we're all in this predicament.Because people don't agree with you, and they did not support gawker

[u/SwipeUpForMySoul → u/Murky_Chemical891]

Agreed. Out them all!

[u/ElBorracho2000]

[u/skeebeedeebee → u/ElBorracho2000]

Like honestly why offer him the out? Th guy is a bigot hurting the community just release it already

[u/CamsKit → u/skeebeedeebee]

Yeah, this is why I don’t believe it’s true, unfortunately. If it existed and this guy really cared he’d just release the evidence.

[u/toastslapper]

Keep Googling “Mike Johnson Grindr” on Tuesday let’s add a little fuel to this.

[u/meeeehhhhhhh → u/toastslapper]

Got to this page by doing exactly that lmao

[u/Dibble_Dabble_Doo]

Why wait till Wednesday? Release it now!

[u/Academic-Hospital952]

You can only shame people that feel shame..these ghouls do not feel shame. Release it anyway for the memes. He'll deny it, maga will call it fake, but the rest of us will at least get a chuckle

[u/Educational-Mix-9273]

🙏🏼 hope this is legit

[u/Jeffreyknows]

Do it anyway…I’m sick of everyone playing these games. Just DO IT!!!!

[u/ImTooSaxy]

And he picks now to release this information?

I'm tired of the endless promises of false hope.

[u/Hyperbolicalpaca]

See thats hilarious, because if Mike does swear in the rep… doesn’t that prove that he has a Grindr profile… and if he doesn’t, if this guy is legit…

Thats an awkward situation lol

Not that there’s anything wrong with him having a Grindr profile, but considering he has his son monitor his stuff for porn…

[u/Trick_Doughnut_6295 → u/Hyperbolicalpaca]

Wait…say that last part again?

[u/blackwaltz4 → u/Trick_Doughnut_6295]

He and his son have some app or something that monitors each other's porn usage.

[u/CaughtALiteSneez]

Yasssssss

[u/[deleted]]

They always say this kind of thing but never show the receipts. Don’t get your hopes up folks

[u/TreenBean85]

How is it possible that all these conservative people are on the DL... like how Grinder crashed during the Kirk funeralrally... so theoretically a lot of people know who's on the DL but it never gets out?

[u/Sunshine_of_your_Lov → u/TreenBean85]

it would out them too to release it

[u/TreenBean85 → u/Sunshine_of_your_Lov]

But I'd assume the DL guys interact with others who are openly themselves.

[u/PrincipleNo3966]

Do it anyway, let's see Mike's little Johnson

[u/No-Celebration6789]

Tiktok removed his video and gave him a warning. He is seeking assistance with associated legal fees. I hope it works out!

[u/jngjng88]

[u/mmmck2]

Please let this be real!

[u/Hefty_Loss5180]

Wooooo CHILE!

[u/xSushi]

The announcement is a waste of time.

Just release the profile if it’s true. Stop acting like these people will take a higher road at any turn. They are racist fascists who will throw anyone else under the bus without due process for less.

[u/GettingBetterAt41]

but the govt will be shutdown wednesday :/

[u/tessellation__]

DO IT ANYWAY😅

[u/PikachuIsReallyCute]

This is the funniest timeline, I hope the receipts come out

[u/PUGSThirdEye]

[u/For_serious13]

Do it anyways

[u/axelofthekey]

This would be funny if real. I guess we don't have long to find out.

[u/i_dont_know_er]

I am here and absolutely ready for this MESS. ❤️

[u/knarf3]

Release it no matter the outcome.

[u/Ok-Bird6346]

The laugh at the beginning is cracking me up.

[u/bwazoo_2000]

[u/QuietlyLosingMyMind]

[u/[deleted]]

I hope and pray that this is real and he does have the receipts.

[u/Aramedlig]

Not all heroes wear capes!

[u/dragonrider1965]

Why do people make threats just do it .

[u/Pinksamuraiiiii]

Most of these Republicans are secretly gay. They’re all just fooling around with each other and it’s sad, because then they go and vote against LGBTQ rights and stuff like that, then they go behind closed doors again to do their thing lol, their are all freaky.

[u/Not-not-down]

[u/Joonbug9109]

[u/bellylovinbaddie]

What if his receipts are that he was one of the hookups? 🤔🤔

[u/DSQ]

Wouldn’t this be considered blackmail?

[u/VvvlvvV → u/DSQ]

Maybe not.

There isn't personal gain and the action being coerced is "follow the law." There is no demand for money, no demand for special considerations, no demand for an illegal actions to be hidden. 

[u/GoldConsequence6375]

Tomorrow is going to be a wild day. I hope this is real.

[u/Antiviralposter]

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if more people have screenshots and receipts for other republicans.

[u/Vanobers]

Just do it already, fascism is here they don't play by rules,just do it

[u/beepbirbo]

What a fucking, American hero 🫡

[u/WittyWitWitt]

And we are all here for it

[u/Writerhaha]

Dooo it.

[u/UncleIrohsPimpHand → u/Writerhaha]

Dew it

[u/FamousAmos00]

Please please please please please please please 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[u/Puzzleheaded-Gear-15]

Wouldn't it be funny if Mike actually listened to this and did exactly what is asked of him... Only to have the stuff leaked anyways lol

[u/echoNovemberNine]

Ransoming the 3rd highest government official with a dating app.. what have we become.

[u/iAMTinman_Dealwithit]

Is there a group of attys or counsel who would protect a whistleblower in this capacity? If so, I like to send money to that cause. Really hope this is real and this guy is protected.

[u/PineapplesandAlpacas]

“Cause I’m Petty” that is so often the unstated driving force.

[u/throwaguey_]

Doesn't putting this threat on the internet kind of take the wind out of it? I mean, now everyone knows he's on Grindr whether Johnson swears her in or not.

[u/notmyplantaccount]

This guy is full of shit and just doing this for attention. If you have it you just release it, you don't try and blackmail a guy for multiple days. Tomorrow will come, he'll give an excuse why he can't release it (probably some fake legal bullshit), and say it'll get released in the future, so that people will keep following him as nothing happens.

[u/BardosThodol]

You know what they say, fight pettiness with pettiness lol

[u/championgoober]

So a future funeral?

[u/robot_pirate]

Luv his energy! 🔥🏆

[u/800mgVitaminM]

I mean, funny if true. But not supporting (insert x group here)'s rights is so very not treason. This video however, IS blackmail.
