  1. Was he also ‘slammed’? ‘Excoriated’? ‘Euphemismed’? ‘Hyperboled’?

  2. Johnson is full of shit. Still whining about the border after he himself turned down a good deal on Putin’s orders.

  3. The fact that he stated they were working in good faith makes me think they weren’t working in good faith

  4. The MAGA cancer has metastasized throughout our government.

    Areas they violate:

    * Personal freedom (bathroom, bedroom, bookshelves)
    * First amendment (freedom from religion)
    * Democracy (Right to vote, respecting the vote)

  5. >Johnson said the House is “actively pursuing and investigating all the various options” for passing Ukraine aid, but “the first priority of the country is our border.”

    the priority is to scream about it but do nothing.

  6. >Johnson told reporters House Republicans have been working in “good faith, around the clock every single day” on a spending deal.

    Did everyone else in the room just laugh in his face at this point?

  7. “The first priority is our border.”

    HOW can he get away with this in the eyes of the Republican base? He literally tanked a border deal on purpose and now it’s back to being his priority. JFC.

  8. Republicans have become the party of unserious people….

  9. > Johnson said the House is “actively pursuing and investigating all the various options” for passing Ukraine aid, but “the first priority of the country is our border.”

    And yet, Trump-lite killed the border deal because it would “make Biden look good”. These aren’t serious people.

  10. Everyone else in that room hates this dude. Even. Mitch McConnell.

    There was a deal last May that everybody was in agreement on for a budget. Senate Republicans, Senate Democrats, the House majority leader, the House minority, and the president.

    House Republicans blew that deal up, for no good reason, and have spent the last 7 months pretending that the deal never existed.

    Senate Republican leadership is tired of this shit. Mitch probably thinks this asshole is going to cost them big in November.

  11. Can we just use imminent domain to seize a 5 mile strip across Texas as a buffer? Give us plenty of area to work with, maybe that would make Abbott happy. /s

  12. Why did they pick a guy with a poor sense of direction to be their leader?

  13. He thought he was Moses. He’s a Minnow, with incel Gilligan at the helm.

  14. House republicans don’t want to pass anything their whole goal is to make Biden and democrats look bad

  15. “Johnson told reporters House Republicans have been working in “good faith, around the clock every single day” on a spending deal.”

    Yeah, except for that 2 week vacation as the deadline neared….

  16. Better call Trump to see what he wants you to do about it.

  17. And just how are you going to get to a bill that you can get behind? What is the proposal for a bill by anyone republican?

  18. One way or another this slimy little weasel is going to have to make some decisions, a government shut down is really going to make him under pressure.

  19. He’s more of a Russian asset than an American representative.

    And he’s not alone.

  20. This dimwitted little prick is not going to accomplish a goddamn thing.

  21. His first priority is servicing Putin. Fucking traitor to America and western civilization in general.

  22. As he should be, the guy is single handedly holding up everything and he’s getting people killed

  23. Murdering MAGA Mike will not be going to heaven. He is the anthesis of gods design.

  24. This Christi-fascist doesn’t care about anything but watching the world burn

  25. Can Biden pass an executive order and by pass everyone to send aid to Ukraine?

  26. “The first priority of our country is the border.”

    Funny coming from the sniveling weasel who had a border bill in front of him that his orange overlord told him to punt on. Mike Johnson doesn’t need to be cornered in an intense meeting, he needs to be cornered in a dark alley.

  27. When the two majority/minority leaders (Jeffries and McConnell) both say the meeting was “intense”, you bet your ass Johnson got schooled for being an insurrectionist asshat

  28. I loved his quote about we need to “take care of America first”. Classic isolationist claptrap. He’s either dumb as a rock or he actually knows better but is on his knees servicing Trump.

  29. >Johnson said the House is “actively pursuing and investigating all the various options” for passing Ukraine aid, but “the first priority of the country is our border.”

    What an unserious lying piece of shit.

  30. We already know Donald Trump will not permit his little toadies in Congress to allow any improvement at the border so he can run on the issue. So irritating these fuckers get away with running on problems while obstructing their solutions.

  31. Johnson thinks that by refusing the border deal negotiated in good faith in the Senate that something better will develop somehow, some way. He’s wrong. Greene, Gaetz and Trump don’t even know what they want.

    Johnson will wear this shutdown like a stone around his neck. Nothing get’s better from here. Ukraine will be a boulder he’ll carry the rest of his life if they fail to get desperately needed aid

    Putin (or his successor) will be at our shores in 20 years if we let him win this war today.

    Time for Moses to fucking lead.

  32. Imagine if every person from every family impacted by any government shut down he’s responsible for mailed him a piece of rotting fruit.

  33. Johnson is full of hooey with his America first statement. The Democrats handed the GOP border security, GOP liked it until Trump sniveled about making President Biden look good. It’s inhumane bullshit to withhold aid to Ukraine when they were served American border security too. At what point are Republicans going to be called out for all the Ukrainian children that have been kidnapped by Russia. Huh? Where is your outrage over the children?

  34. The hypocrite crushes the bipartisan border bill that also funded Ukraine, then says the following:

    Johnson said the House is “actively pursuing and investigating all the various options” for passing Ukraine aid, but “the first priority of the country is our border.”

    He’s such a weasel.

  35. These people fucking suck. Absolute cowards and don’t have the countries best interest at heart.

  36. Johnson told reporters House Republicans have been working in “good faith, around the clock every single day” on a spending deal.

    There is *nothing* that Republicans do in good faith. We can all see a lie for a lie.

  37. The only ones cornering Johnson are members of his own caucus. 28 right wing radicals. About 6% of the House causing government to grind to a halt. Minority rule must stop.

  38. This week it’s “Cornered”.

    Next week it will read “Slammed”

    The week after that it’ll be “Blasted”

    The “Pasting” and “Dismemberment” should happen after that but remember. They are white after all.
