Navalny was willing to take on Vladimir Putin and risk his life. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson is so afraid of losing his speakership that he caves to Marjorie Taylor Greene

Upon the news of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s death, House Speaker Mike Johnson denounced Vladimir Putin.
“As Congress debates the best path forward to support Ukraine, the United States and our partners must be using every means available to cut off Putin’s ability to fund his unprovoked war in Ukraine and aggression against the Baltic states,” he said in a statement.
Of course, Johnson’s words would hold much more weight if he had actually put through the aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan that the Senate passed on the floor of the House of Representatives. Indeed, as the Senate labored late into the night on Monday and into the wee hours of Tuesday to pass that aid bill, Johnson summarily killed the bill because it did not address immigration at the US-Mexico border.
This came after Johnson and the rest of House Republican leadership blew up a bipartisan agreement that would have included aggressive restrictions to immigration in exchange for aid to Israel and Ukraine. Johnson, like most of the Republican Party, did so in the service of Donald Trump after he came out in opposition to the deal — despite the fact it would give him sweeping authority to deport migrants if he became president again.
Congress is not debating anything Mike. You sent them on vacation because you where losing control of Congress with your failed impeachment attempt and blocking of the border bill on trump's behest.
Why do so many people think that anyone is doing anything on trumps behalf? Even if trump did ask directly or indirectly for things, he most certainly did not come up with ideas himself. He has never put forth any policy that came out of his own head, everything he says he says because someone else is telling him to. At this point I wonder exactly how many masters he actually has and if they have worked out a time share agreement or if it's just first come, first serve.
Does it matter? But in this case he wants to campaign on the border. Thus passing a border bill would hurt him and help Biden.
He's such a narcissist that even if people are whispering in his ear, he will believe he thought of it himself and do it. The effect is the same.
I'm not saying he is some mastermind.. (although bankrupting a casino does take skill.) But he will endorse the opponent of any Republican that opposes him in an election. Notany lower politicians fear the other party, they fear their own party endorsing their replacement because many elections are not even close but safely D or R.
I'd say his killing the border deal that his own party wanted because Trump said so showed that.
Its a time-tested tactic among Republicans. Keep demanding the incrementally more-extreme thing while Dems are in office and never compromising until the last minute. Then campaigning on the delay as proof that Big Government Doesn't Work. Get all your media allies to run endless horror stories of migrant serial killers and liberal arts college kids doing transgenderism with your tax dollars to wipe your base up into a Satanic Panic.
If you scream loud enough and long enough, eventually you can convince all those mushy centrist libs that something has to be done. And you can ride in on a big red wave to run government for the next 2-6 years.
“As Congress debates the best path forward to support Ukraine, the United States and our partners must be using every means available to cut off Putin’s ability to fund his unprovoked war in Ukraine and aggression against the Baltic states,” he said in a statement.
How dare he!? The asshole that has done nothing but block aid to Ukraine, and help Putin. That man has no shame no integrity, and he is all traitor. He lies with a straight face as naturally as breathing. Total sociopath!!!
A Republican, in other words.
Yes unfortunately, except the MAGA crowd is even worse than Republicans used to be. They used to be crazy, the MAGA crowd is insane.

They all cower to tiny d, who has his lips wrapped around the base of Putin's unit.
The Donald has an enormous popular movement of American Fascists banging at the gates demanding that they be given control of government for another four years.
Mike Johnson has every reason to cower. He dodged a bullet on the last Jan 6th. Might not be so lucky next time.
He’s a republican. A coward by definition.
All GOP are cowards, this is nothing new. Just see the 2016 election when they all eventually bowed to Trump, after so much big talk against him. Trump literally trashed them, insulted them and their families, and they still suck his dick. Though part of that is them also bowing to Trump's supporters. They wouldn't still be in office if they didn't bow to Trump to also get the support of his base.
Johnson reminds me of a type of guy who got his ass bullied for his milk money when he was a first grader. Now suffers from Stockholm Syndrome by rooting for those who would be the type that bullied him.
To be fair, we already knew he was a coward.
