I spoke with @SpeakerJohnson and thanked him personally, both parties, the American people, and President Biden for their critical support of Ukraine since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion.

I briefed Speaker Johnson on the battlefield situation, specifically the dramatic increase in Russia's air terror. Last week alone, 190 missiles, 140 "Shahed" drones, and 700 guided aerial bombs were launched at Ukrainian cities and communities. Ukraine's largest hydroelectric power plant has gone offline.

In this situation, quick passage of US aid to Ukraine by Congress is vital. We recognize that there are differing views in the House of Representatives on how to proceed, but the key is to keep the issue of aid to Ukraine as a unifying factor.

We also discussed the importance of cutting off Russia's sources of funding for its war as soon as possible and using frozen Russian assets for Ukraine’s benefit. We also rely on the leadership of Congress in this regard.

1. Oh Marge is gonna stroke.

[erronis]

2. "panties into a painful knot" is probably her definition of pleasure.

Sorry!

[Traildogbob]

4. Don't think this evil

Hate filled wretch has EVER felt pleasure or ever will.
Nor does she deserve to.

14. Oh come on

There's a lonely horse in a stable somewhere that might glance her way.

16. Mr Ed!

And at his actual age if still alive. Wilburrrr!

[getagrip_already]

6. Nahh, shes on vay-vay, getting all tantric

Besides, the little dirty Johnson isn't gonna move the Ukraine bill.

He's got his patsies ginning up a poison brew of non support loans / not loans with no humanitarian aid and nothing of military value.

Then when the dems don't support that he will blame us.

7. He works for Trump who will work overtime to make Johnson's life miserable

if he defies him on Ukraine. So I’m afraid you’re right. MTG is just a bit player.

[SergeStorms]

13. As an evangelical....

isn't his so-called "life" already miserable?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

3. MAGAt Moses Mike and the other Russiapublicans will smile in your face and stab you in the back.

[Traildogbob]

5. No doubt.

His Bible guides his evil. As per his own words.
Maybe he needs a new edition like Donnie’s collectors version.

8. My FB comment to Mike Johnson

Posted to Speaker Mike Johnson of Facebook:

The President of Ukraine spoke to you today. He explained to you Ukraine's urgent need of the means to defend against Russia's air terror. Last week alone, 190 missiles, 140 "Shahed" drones, and 700 guided aerial bombs were launched at Ukrainian cities and communities.

Any further delay means you feel no guilt about the Ukrainians who have suffered due to your political games and every time you look at your hands you should picture them covered in Ukrainian blood.

9. Hope Mike's fingers didn't cramp up

from being crossed for that entire phone conversation.

10. As long as the

Gopers have the majority in the House, it was a humungous waste of time. Sorry Mr. Zelensky. After November you'll have a better chance when the Dems win back the House.

11. What a slick move on Zelensky's part

He showed deference to a useless fart who didn't deserve it, but loves the publicity and the "honor" of being addressed by the Ukrainian president. Johnson will want to puff up his importance for a while ("the president of the Ukraine called ME personally! wowee zowee!" ). But of course, he can't do that and claim at the same time, he intends to do nothing. That would make him look like an even greater asshole than any of us suspected he might be (well, you never know--he COULD be).

Zelensky boxed Johnson into a corner. "Help me out or look like a total asshole to even your own constituents, and risk overthrow as Speaker even faster that it might already happen. The spotlight is on you, and everyone is expecting you to do the right thing."

Very slick move, I'd say.

12. she should be removed .

[NBachers]

15. Yeah, that Mikie, he's a big-time player in this Ukranium thing. A real farce to be reckooned with. A master tactician.

But, I applaud Zelenskyy for putting him on the spot. Good move.

17. Hope Z is not giving away any info...

…that’s not known publicly and could go from Johnson to TSF to Putin.
