So yes I think there were some intel briefings and words from POTUS and top generals as well.
Talking about Putin and national security, and global security.

Also some deals might have been cut.

with Capehart & Brooks later discussing the same.
They all agree a deal was made.

Hit Johnson as hard as they could right between the eyes until he saw stars.
Metaphorically that is, the reality of Putin and Russia and global security.

And how Marge and her pals are plotting against Johnson.

Then make a deal. Maybe even let him stew for 48 hours about it before
offering a deal.

Johnson definitely looked green around the gills when he left that meeting.

implications. Maybe he really doesn't want to be blamed when Putin re-takes eastern europe?

And remember, the nuke plants in Ukraine could blow up much of the continent.

That was the look on his face.

Shit got real and got real fast.

This is not high school or pretend.
This is serious with global consequences.

Yep he did not want to be the reason Putin starts
marching on Europe.

Johnson didn't want to be the named reason for WWIII starting.

Trump turned him away and Jesus was the only one who Mikey could talk to!

Is one Republican not owned by Putin?

won't win and they better have a plan B for GOP party leaders when he is gone?

The war in Ukraine already has and along with Brexit and England's thrashing about hopelessly it does not bode well. Couple that with China's woes affecting US businesses like Apple and many others and the picture is not rosy in the near term. Trump would not help any of this, likely make it much worse either out of inaction, bad action or just talking non sense that causes fear and worry.

If my memory serves me, he nodded affirmatively when President Biden spoke about the imperative of providing military aid to Ukraine. I thought then that Johnson might be hiding his genuine opinion of the matter bc of the obvious resistance of the rogue MAGA caucus.

Then today I read that Johnson, at least in geopolitical stances, falls squarely in the Reaganite camp. Saint Ronnie for all his faulty policy prescriptions was never, ever a Russian cheerleader and/or a spouter of Russian propaganda.

Or maybe God whispered in Johnson's ear. Again.

Whatever the reason, it looks as if Ukraine will get the aid money they so desperately need.

IMHO, that's a very good thing.

I can't recall all the times he nodded his head, but it was several and at times surprising.

That is not the way I want my country run.

And if you think it's OK you are part of the problem, quit it.

I think it is likely that it’s happened from our founding, and I don’t see it (as described above) as entirely detrimental.

—Just my opinion

He doesn't have to "quit" anything.

How very odd.

Just desserts! He better fn be getting schooled somehow. He needs a couple of nuns on his ass, imo. Rulers or whatever it takes!

He's third in line and he needs to start acting like it.

I personally, hope he rots in Hell.

He obfuscated, delayed, and eventually outmaneuvered the MGT-type fanatics in his party. And then made his move on the bill when sure they could not spike it and him

never forget that!

You're implying that he was coerced by national security goons. That's not likely. Sometimes the moment does make the man. And it's not like he's actually moved to the side of the angels. He's just strategically trying to protect his party from becoming the pro-Putin and anti-global security party.

In that, he's at least partially failed

that the Dems, on the quiet, told Johnson that if he allows all the aid votes (Ukraine etc) they would come to his rescue if the MAGAs tried to oust him.

a.k.a. growing the eff up and dumping loser tsf.

Point in time did Jesus change his mind about the women and children and all innocent people being slaughtered by a Godless greedy shit bag orchestrating the hell in Ukraine?
Moses claims he talks to Jesus everyday and follows his advice, what was the line crossed that Jesus finally WOKE up to the hell on hell?
Another question, what did Jesus tell him about the fake ass Three toed bat shit crazy lie hole that has a tight grip on the trailer of his Robe?

Totally out of his element.

Yes I did think a deal was cut at the WH.

Did he note that Jesus wasn't even a Christian?
