  1. I cannot believe this meeting has any point as it is clear that Johnson ha no good faith left in him and he vehemently opposes any help for Ukraine for whatever reason. Why Biden wastes time on this guy?
    Unless he has some new arguments to present?

  2. MAGA Mike bowing down to the whims of a traitor who is going to lose the election

  3. Give him the meeting, tell him he’ll be protected if the bill passes. If it doesn’t Ever oil and gas producer in Louisiana will get audited

  4. Johnson will use the meeting to claim he tried his best to work out a deal with Biden but was stonewalled at every turn.

    Nothing good can come of this meeting for Biden. I hope he ignores this pleb.

  5. Ukraine is probably going to get the sixty billion, but I don’t honestly see that it’s going to change much. It’s not all getting disbursed at once, much of the last aid package was spent not on weapons but on propping up the Ukrainian economy, and a great deal of what they need (155 shells) are not sourceable in quantity at any price. The one big chance to hand over large quantities of weapons with the stroke of a pen was lend-lease, and that was allowed to expire unused. That opportunity will not recur. So now what?

  6. He’ll stall as long as possible, finally get a meeting, and then still not allow a vote.

  7. How MAGA Milhouse ever got to this level is beyond me.

    No one likes Milhouse.

  8. I bet he will just try to bribe Biden into stalling the bill with bloodstained rubles he has pockets full of.

  9. This and Trump should be put in jail for betraying the highest interests of the US.

  10. The stupid thing is that most of the money earmarked for Ukraine will be spent in the USA. It literally flows back to US pockets. Don’t conservatives believe in trickle down economics

  11. Biden should accept, but only if a transcript of the meeting is made available to the public afterward with any sensitive info redacted. That way no one can misrepresent what took place.

  12. He’s looking for any reason to delay it. Wont be long before we hear him saying his shoes are untied so he can’t walk to the podium.

  13. well it looks like the guy had his private session wuth putin alredy

  14. This may actually be good news. There has been some speculation that Johnson may actually support giving Ukraine aid ever since he started getting classified briefings. However, MAGA Republicans have promised to remove him if he does. They won’t be able to do that if the Democrats vote to keep him as the speaker.

    With the last speaker, McCarthy, Democrats washed their hands of him and said they weren’t interested in saving someone who negotiated in bad faith. Johnson is no better but the situation in Ukraine is deteriorating rapidly. Johnson may be meeting with Biden to try and get some promises about Democrats keeping him in power in exchange for Ukraine.

  15. Moscow Mike will do anything to waste time. Just begin the process of the discharge petition. Especially with the seat gained last night.

  16. Mike Johnson to Biden…..”Take the Ukraine money out of the package and we’ll pass it.”

    Biden to Mike Johnson……”GTFOH”

  17. There are plenty of GOP house members who support Ukraine. I don’t understand why one of them doesn’t just threaten Johnson with a motion to vacate if he doesn’t call for a vote this week. Spineless cowards.
