To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, You can depend on Mike Johnson to do the right thing. But only after he has exhausted every other possibility.

The best result of the Johnson handling of the aid package is that it embarrassed MTG and kept the democrats on his side. If you do not understand this you are a political idiot.

If he was not such a drama queen Ukraine would not have had to wait six months losing many lives and some territory in the process and we would have more secure borders. Your boy is a whiny little bitch in ways that only hurt this country. Being ten times better than Gym Jordan would be is an awfully low bar to clear and that bar wobbled hard as he went over.

Trump lawyers are saying President Biden can order the FBI to open up three seats on the Supreme Court and vacate the Chief Justice today with no concern about prosecution unless an impeachment against him is successful. He can then order the FBI to ensure there are no living Senators to hear the charges against him. They are lucky the current President is far too good a man to contemplate it. The former fucktard will do it in a heartbeat if he gets the chance.

There was never a danger of losing Democrats on an aid bill fully supported by the White House. Johnson did nothing for the aid package except bring Biden's proposal for a vote. If you do not understand this you are an idiot. Or a relentless political hack. Or in your case, both.

Does anyone understand why the US is giving 2 billion of aid to Taiwan? Is it supposed to stop an invasion? Hunter is running low on spending dough? Vets are sleeping in the streets. Poorer families cannot survive with inflated prices.

He did not embarrass MTG either, because I do not think it is possible for her to be embarrassed. Like the ex-president you adore she is essentially just an internet troll holding public office and any press feeds her. Her response to the Ukraine aid passing was to offer an amendment requiring everyone who voted for aid to join the Ukrainian army. How do you embarrass that?

My position on Johnson is he eventually did his job, after six months that killed a lot of Ukrainians, cost them territory and enabled Putin. Kudos, a lot of Repo speakers like McCarthy for one, would never have brought it to the floor. But having more guts than McCarthy and standing up to the likes of Greene is a low bar. Taking six months to do it is not heroic, nor does it merit the praise you claim it does. It was a Biden initiative a bipartisan majority of Congress agreed with, and it took him 6 months to see it through during which time support from his side of the aisle got less.

Yeah, Johnson was playing three dimensional chess with Large Marge and that took six months.

It is called the Porcupine Defense. The same defense employed by Ukraine in the wake of the initial invasion.
China may try to bite Taiwan but it is gonna hurt if it tries to swallow.

Because Trump is clumsy at his alleged crimes, surrounding himself with flagrant thugs, telling obvious lies, leaving prolific trails of damning evidence, offering ridiculous defenses for indefensible conduct, I had long concluded that he is incompetent at crookery along with his other manifest failings. That is true as far as it goes. But for all his mad greed and compulsive lawlessness, for all his sleaze and stupidity, crime is ultimately not Trumps game. Trump is nothing like a master criminal. But he is a master of something far more sinister and complex - corruption... 

[jmmengel]

I repeat my suggestion of two months ago.
Biden should resign and let Kamala take over.
How can anyone support the terrible record of this President?

Let Kamala muddle through with a divided Congress.
What harm could she really do.?
Besides we finally have a Supreme Court that reliably follows the Constitution which Joe Biden refuses to.

[facilitatorn]

That post by Red was a moronic act of flatulence by a deluded individual with a palpably terrible diet.

He has convinced me that we have to prune a couple of right wing injustices from the Supreme Court to preserve the US constitution.

We will enjoy another term of Joe before we elect Harris to follow and continue excellent Democratic policies.

We are going to put a statue up of President Biden wearing his aviators to mark the grave of the republican party.
