WASHINGTON — President Biden pivoted on Monday, saying he would be “happy to meet” with House Speaker Mike Johnson — after White House staff rejected the Louisiana Republican’s recent requests to discuss pending Ukraine aid and US-Mexico border policy changes.

“Sure, I’d be happy to meet with him if he has anything to say,” the 81-year-old president told reporters on the White House lawn as he returned from a long weekend at his Rehoboth Beach, Del., vacation home.

Biden’s willingness to meet comes after his aides for weeks rebuffed Johnson’s requests.

A Hill source told The Post that the speaker’s staff had been trying for more than five weeks to set up a meeting, but that the White House denied the requests.

I really hope that this potential meeting isn’t to cave on foreign military aid, getting no meaningful immigration enforcement, and concocting a media plan to spin this as a win for both parties (and the US).

Can you tell I’ve seen this multiple times before?

You mean, if you stand your ground, Democrats will cave?

Someone should tell Republicans.

OK. The real problem is the language barrier. Speaker Johnson speaks English and Biden speaks gibberish and out of one side of his mouth. The problem is insurmountable. So what has changed besides Biden’s diaper?

Biden, you Arrogant Bastard!!!

Just simply say you would be happy to meet Speaker Johnson and drop it there.

But Nooooo by adding “if he has anything to say” just makes you sound like a petty little POS!!

Democrats always stand their ground and the Republicans will cave.

Joe Biden is not going to do anything about the border.

He's waiting on Johnson to provide the Ukraine aid.

"Sure, I'd be happy to meet with him if he has anything to say".

The big thing is...Mike wanted a one on one. Biden will never do that.

“Sure, I’d be happy to meet with him if he has anything to say,”

In other words “FYATHYRIO” which is an acronym and not dementia blather. He’s losing his brain function and he’s just an angry old man shaking his fist and yelling at the clouds.

IF Johnson’s going over there to have a discussion, when the discussion is over and as Johnson is walking out the door, douchebag will be muttering under his foul odorous breath something about that stupid MFing SOB.

Drop every charge against Trump and we can meet about Ukraine. As long as you hold political prisoners you are illegitimate.

Ask Biden to meet him publically, in front of cameras. Map Room, Lincoln Room, that ridiculous Fake White House sound stage the comintern built for him -- it don't matter. Totally open pool oppo.

Even tell the press that, after the introduction, Biden has been invited to speak first to the press.

But now, the introduction. Have some House staffer, maybe someone with Trump's accent, stand up and introduce the formal discussion in a rapid & confusing manner ... loaded with trigger words, alliterations, a 30-second full-on refutation of The White Hospice's talking points, phrases that don't sound like ad hominems to the casual listener but mention Biden repeatedly -- shit that is guaranteed to get under the Zombie's skin.

Then step back and watch the fun.

Lather, rinse, repeat, repeatedly until Nov. 5, 2024. You all want to win this election? That's how it's done, son. You repeat that Feb. 9 meltdown after the Hur report over and over and over and over and over in front of the MSM on Biden's home court (so they must report it), to the point where no one in a non-vegetative state (which excludes Biden -- oh the irony!) can convince themselves to endure this for another 4 years.

The dotard's daily applesauce can only dissolve so much. Already an entire pharmacy shelf in it.
