 Speaker Johnson caves to War Party to save Speakership

Newbie House Speaker Rep. Mike Johnson has been holding up the Biden administration’s $95 billion weapons boondoggle since he replaced Kevin McCarthy 6 months ago. McCarthy got booted for trying to be a tad too bipartisan than the conservative zealots led by Marjorie Taylor Green and Matt Gaetz.

But the conservative clique that stalled Biden’s weapons cache designed to continue the demise of Ukraine and the genocidal ethnic countries cleansing of Gaza was a wonderful step toward possible peace in both.

Alas, the War Party, led by genocide enabler Biden, brought all their rhetorical guns to bear on Johnson to break with the GOP Speaker removers and go bipartisan to pass Biden’s weaponspalooza.

MTG and Heave Ho Gaetz promptly threatened to McCarthyize Johnson for daring to help squander $95 million to get hundreds of thousand more killed for nothing.

Johnson is left with going all in with his war loving Democratic colleagues to pile up enough Democratic votes to prevent his expulsion.

To do that John has to regurgitate every despicable Democratic lie to justify his lust for financing endless war with $95 printed billions.

Here’s what he said followed by what his brain knows is the truth.

Speaker Johnson: “We’re going to stand for freedom and make sure that Putin doesn’t march through Europe… we’re the greatest Nation on the planet, and we have to act like it” (‘We’re among the worst nations on the planet, destroying our moral standing worldwide enabling genocide in Gaza and degrading Ukraine. But doesn’t matter if I can keep my Speakership’)

Speaker Johnson: “I can make a selfish decision and do something that’s different but I’m doing here what I believe to be the right thing.” (‘And the right thing is to make nice with war Democrats so they’ll make nice with me’).

Speaker Johnson: “To put it bluntly, I would rather send bullets to Ukraine than American boys.” (‘I don’t care how many Ukrainians must die to save my Speakership as long as it’s not Yankee blood. That $95 billion, if it passes, might just get me the Democratic votes I need to stick around’).

Speaker Mike Johnson looks like a sweet, young man. But in his heart and soul lurks a craven, power hungry political opportunist who’ll send thousands to needless death to save his skin.
