I have no insight into what happened to Johnson.

1. Was he always a GOPe guy and I just didn’t know it?
2. Was he always a GOPe guy and hide it until it counted?
3. Was he “captured” by the Intel folks after he became speaker, which now control his positions on issues?

If I was to guess, I would say he was a good guy and the intel folks have captured him causing him to dance to their tune.

Capture can take many forms:
1. Blackmail, as in I know what your skeletons are so do what I say
2. Blackmail, we will plant evidence on you and take you down if you don’t do what I say
3. Blackmail mafia style, do what we say or your loved ones will pay the price
4. etc, many other variations

“he could have singlehandedly stopped the border crisis.”
Please spell out how. . .

Maybe if he named the bill “This will definitely fix the border cuz161 says so”
The Bidens minions would know not to redirect the funds to do the opposite.

“spit quit trying to rewrite history and go glutton on your narrative control cubicle pavlov reward doughnuts. seems to me its your ilk splitting the base rinos,,. spit.”

The ad hominem attack, the “go to” tool of leftists and lazy morons.

In case you’re the latter the definition of ad hominem: Attacking a person’s character or motivations rather than a position or argument.

Was he photographed in a bath house, or is he simply a coward?

It's not that they can't secure it. They can secure it any time they want to. They don't want to secure rubble.

Plus they get the added bonus of chewing up the Uke army in trench warfare.

Never ever seen any ads for Boeing or other defense contractors on Fox or anywhere else

This is ignorance par excellence. They even cover the DC metro stops. You can't walk out of one without purchasing global satellite surveillance, a couple of LSCs, the latest armored gizzy gotch that Russia is going to blow up in Ukraine, a couple of nuke subs and the greatest F-35 fighters going.

Most likely “Capture”...his adopted son (who has a record) was busted recently for an illegal pot business in Los Angeles

“When Repubs have a one seat majority, it becomes the excuse that they can’t do anything.

When Dems have a one seat majority they are ten feet tall, and can do extreme measures like Maduro, and throw Trump off the ballot.”

Precisely!

Correction. Repubs (temporarily) have a two seat majority.

Good lord, that is some interesting formatting in your response. I can hardly decipher it, so I’m not going to try.

They passed border security a year ago. So it was their no. one priority. The Senate Dems blocked it, but that is not Johnson’s fault. You can’t operate on the premise that you aren’t going to do anything else until the Dems pass border security. Or if you do, then I ask why you’re just discovering that now, a year after the Dems blocked it? The GOP has passed a lot of things since then.

Yes, the GOP was in favor of this Ukraine funding. When you add in the GOP votes in the Senate, a majority of Republicans voted for it. Also, the polling shows that it is popular among voters. Even Trump did not oppose it. In fact it was Trump who suggested that it be a loan rather than a gift. So he helped get it passed.
