Squeaker Mike Johnson promised us he wouldn’t bring Ukraine aid to the floor.

Before he was Squeaker of the House, he voted against every Ukraine aid bill except the first one.

Why, suddenly, is he bringing Ukraine aid as a standalone bill to the floor of the House?

Who is pulling Squeaker Mike’s strings?

Political reality in an election year.

Its very simple, really.

The reality of D.C. is different from the view we have. Political promises are a dime a dozen..

Our government from top to bottom just sucks. Our presidential candidate choices suck. Our alphabet organizations suck.

It all sucks

How about Mike "Sneaker" Johnson pledging no Ukraine Bill before Border Bill is passed !

Somebody has got some big time dirt on him and he needs to come clean and keep his pledges.

If not he needs to be removed.

Maybe he just realizes the importance for all this now, and he probably understands better as to how critical these foreign conflicts are.

Or we could just purge both parties altogether.

What party?

Republicans/Conservatives in Washington DC are a mess. And I'm beginning to believe it is actually by design.

It took 15 ballots to get Johnson, because the GOP has no clue that no one will be perfect, and it actually does take comprimise to run a country such as ours.

But, all you have to do is read this board on a daily basis to see why the 15 ballots were necessary.

Well shite, they been trying the to get a bill passed for over 6 months now. I’d say that if your goal for him is to stagnate Ukraine and Israel funding bills then he’s done just that.

Anyone who pretends we are worse off with Johnson than McCarthy is being dishonest

I do think it’s fair to suggest we are in the same place.

You are going to keep saying this about every speaker until we get a Democrat. If we ever get a guy you would approve of it will be short lived because we would be slaughtered in the next election.

No. It was a predictably stupid move--its why democrats unanimously voted for it. But a purge would remove the wrong people from the party.

There is now way, if he is removed, that the next speaker won;t be a Democrat. These people are that stupid.
