Speaker Johnson: I think providing lethal assistance to Ukraine right now is critically important. We can’t play politics with this.

1. FBI or NSA must have paid him a visit

2. He had a change of heart apparently

3. ‘We can’t play politics with this,’ says the man playing politics with it for 6 months.

4. He almost seems human in this short clip.

5. how could he say that with a straight face.

6. Really, what has the GOP been doing then? United States of Absurdistan……

7. Can anyone else hear a “but” coming?

8. CIA and NSA paid him a visit

9. Fixed it for ya Moscow Mike.

   “ I think providing lethal assistance to Ukraine is critically important so as to keep my position as Speaker of the House” “ I will play politics with this as long as I can.”

10. No shit Sherlock!

11. Once this package is hopefully unlocked, what sort of impact can we expect to see? More of the same like artillery and air defence or more game changing weapons like long range ATACAMS?

12. Wait, what the fuck?

13. Ukraine needs these weapons and all that ammunition……Last week!
    This needs to be delivered ASAP.

14. He’s vile. Many deaths lay within his political games

15. Well then… what are you waiting for, for Christ’s sake?? for someone who claims not to be playing political games on this matter, you’re largely overdue!

16. How can you tell a Republican is lying? Their lips are moving. I will believe it after the bill passes.

17. “I think” –

    Starts off with a lie, continues the bullshit.

18. It has been a critical YEAR

19. Is this a deep fake?

20. Why now? Lol, God damn this guy is such a clown. Before, he would say there was zero way he’d ever do aid for Ukraine without taking care of the border first. What’s changed? Do you mean that was simply an excuse? I wonder what the shift is among Republicans. Maybe the pressure was too great and things were going to happen whether he liked it or not. Maybe he’s trying to ensure his survival through the democrats. I wonder why trump would let him go through with this. As long as it goes through, I don’t care. I’m just curious why the shit bag finally relented.

21. Is someone who has his pictures with a goat blackmailing him into action?

22. Where was this 6 months ago?

23. Russia didn’t have to even fire one bullet to capture the USA. The so called leaders of the free world the UN pushing all kind of rules for Ukraine to join. Though they are most probably more in line with what the UN is supposed to be standing for than the US at the moment.

24. I think we can assume that the back-room deal is that if Republicans remove him as Speaker, the Democrats will vote him back in. Possibly as an Independent, which would be fascinating.

25. What the F happened overnight? O_o

26. Incredible. But let’s hope Ukraine gets what it needs. the EU is keeping up support but it’s not enough by far. There is money but they need weapons. Rockets, tanks, patriots, ATACMS, ffs, just send all your obsolete vehicles and orther systems there with enough ammo and the Russian army can not take ukraine.

27. Nincompoop! Only took this long to realise that Ukraine needs support 🫤

28. Hypocritical Traitor

29. Chaps, greetings from Europe. The pattern this guy follows, is common in the smaller countries as well – he addresses people with shorter memory than what a goldfish has. The same voters, who were nodding for half year(?) to his bullshit, will keep nodding now for the opposite statements as well. Reading the comments, you are not his target group, but many others are.

    Russian-supported politicians may have a free ticket to Moscow to enjoy their life further there. I frankly think that democracy is a good thing, but bullshit has to be cut somewhere.

30. W. T. F.

31. You fucking what cunt?! This is the bullshit that’s killing Ukrainian people day in, day out. Idiots in charge everywhere, fuck you and fuck your family

32. What happened to “we need to protect the borders“? He magically forgot about the immigrants that are pouring in? What a hypocrite!

33. A better man would have sacrificed his position to get things rolling, but not this clown. They should rename their party to “Zero Integrity Party”, because it’d be more accurate.

34. WE CANT DO WHAT NOW? THE FUCKING GAULL ON THIS PRICK!

35. Just approve the support and get on with it asap.

36. This Speaker we have is a traitor. OK don’t think for one second he is trying to help. What’s crazy is that this man is supposed to be a Christian and he sees and hears from his own people in all these committees of front line news and still doesn’t put that bill on the floor ASAP. He follows one hod and that is Trump. He bends the knee to Trump. And it’s sad to majority of Americans because it’s our hard earned money being taxed and we want it to support Ukrainians and their freedom. And we gave these politicians our votes and you can’t even put a bill on the floor because the Biggest Traitor in American History TraitorTrump told him no. See bills need to be passed so 1 man could have this much power over our National Security. Sick of Maga like most of the world. November can’t come fast enough. Watch Democracy always wins in America.

37. Says the murderer of all those Ukranians who have died in the past 6 months.

38. So the secret adopted black son is going to a military academy? That’s great!

39. Sure sure… he just *suddenly* developed a spine and brains. I’ll believe it when I see it pass with his support. Until then, he’s one of the GQP Ruzzian stooges.

40. He probably knew it’s either this or a discharge petition. So he was put in lose/lose position I’m guessing. Anyhow, good thing there was enough will to put pressure on him.
