"Source: Mike Johnson at a briefing on 4 December, quoted by European Pravda

Details: Asked whether Biden's request for additional funds to support Ukraine would be put to a vote, Johnson said he is "not planning to do that".

Quote from Mike Johnson: "There are developments by the hour in Ukraine, I think as we predicted and as I said to all of you weeks before the election, if Donald Trump is elected, it will change the dynamic of the Russian war on Ukraine. So, it is not the place of Joe Biden to make that decision. Now, we have a newly elected president, and we are going to wait and take the new commander-in-chief's direction on all of that.""

And so it begins.

1. And no one cares

That the GOP leaders support Putin.

10. I'm more outraged about GOP leaders supporting the bad guy than I am about Hunter being pardoned.

All of these assholes need to be outed as traitors and arrested and tried for treason. This is criminal that they keep getting away with this shit because they own the media.

2. Headline rewritten: Trump's little Johnson pleases Putin.

[blm]

3. Republicans are on board with Trump. America will report to Putin now.

4. "So, it is not the place of Joe Biden to make that decision."

He's still the president, you treacherous self-serving smarmy asshole, so it is indeed his place to make that decision, it's his job until January.

Your place is atop the creaky stinky utterly compromised edifice that passes for your caucus until some even bigger asshole topples you in turn. Listening to you, none of you have a will or brain of your own, but must wait for the master's voice, then do his bidding unthinkingly. Why did people bother electing you, then?

11. He's been taking lessons from Mitch. (n/t)

5. Trump was probably told by Putin that if Putin can have Ukraine, China will get Taiwan, and Trump can have Canada.

Trump probably believes it.

7. Putin owns America. We can all see him from our porches now.

We Dems tried our best to prevent it, but alas...

[Initech]

9. Yup, the bad guys won.

And now they can go get royally fucked and rot in hell.

[Initech]

8. What a worthless fucking piece of shit. Worst speaker in American history.

Yes, you can say Gingrich, and he was a colossal horse's ass, but he didn't sell this country out to the bad guys in the way that Mike Johnson and Trump are doing. Fuck all of them.
