... of the US House of Representatives has a political party, of course... but the Speaker also represents the people of the United States of America. His appearance in staggeringly inappropriate.

I, NOW agree that he's supporting TFG 100%. I then gotta wonder how the AID got through the HOUSE? WHY did he allow that, when TFG was 100% against it? Something isn't adding up here.

They are usually not unidimensional.

The consensus is that Johnson was presented with compelling information which left him with
no other option in terms of national and global security.

He apparently did not want to be known for being responsible for WWIII.

But he was also being crafty and self serving.
He knew Marge and her flying monkeys were coming after him.

He must have gotten some commitment from the Dems they would give him
cover if Marge did her thing.

So Johnson figures he can pass the package and squash Marge like a bug at the same time.
Which is exactly what happened.

And yes he still kisses Trump's ass. Johnson is covering all his bases.

They can make of it, the better. Men are their gods on earth. A man like Trump, who promises to lower the boom on women who even think about having an abortion, definitely outranks Jesus!

She may be a bit surprised at Johnson's bad optics.
Doesn't look good for him to be at Trump's porn star trial.
Since Johnson is obsessed with not looking at porn.
