Any theories as to why Mike Johnson went bad? Liar from day one? Bribery? Deep state threats or blackmail?

Washington — The House approved a $95 billion foreign aid package Saturday, in a pivotal moment for House Speaker Mike Johnson as he tries to stave off a right-wing rebellion.
The package consists of four bills that were voted on separately and will be combined into one before being sent to the Senate. The first three bills include $60.8 billion to help Ukraine in its war with Russia; $26.4 billion to support Israel, which is fighting Hamas and Iran; and $8.1 billion to counter China in the Indo-Pacific. Humanitarian aid for Gaza, which Democrats said was necessary for their support, is also included.
The fourth bill would allow the sale of frozen assets of Russian oligarchs to help fund future aid to Ukraine, potentially force the sale of TikTok and authorize stricter sanctions on Russia, China and Iran. The House approved the fourth bill Saturday in a 360 to 58 vote.
The House voted overwhelmingly to approve the aid bill for allies in the Indo-Pacific in a 385 to 34 vote, with one member voting present, along with the aid for Israel, with a 366 to 58 vote. More contentious was the vote on Ukraine aid, which came after months of infighting among House Republicans. But lawmakers voted 311 to 112 with one member voting present to approve the aid, despite the steep pushback from some House conservatives.

Anything about stopping the invasion in America ?
“I’m with you, if it wasn’t for the Trojan Horse that will lead to “TikTok” getting banned in a year. And that means FR will be banned as well.”
In a rational world, I doubt we are a big enough threat to the liberal hegemony to be worth swatting. If you want to boil a frog you should raise the temperature gradually.
And they wouldn't even give Donald Trump the $5 Billion that he asked for to secure the U.S. southern border.
Eventually, it'll get banned. We should live with the consequences of our decisions. The election is coming up this November. Voters won't be happy. It won't be business as usual. I think the courts will stay out of this one.

No clue...I’m guessing it’s more complicated, but that’s just a guess...
Nine billion for Hamas in the Israel portion of the bill.
Look for Johnson and his fellow Fake Conservatives to throw real conservatives
some kind of small bone to try to satisfy we Conservatives on his betrayal.
scum RINO whore Mike Johnson raised his skirt, dropped his panties, bent over, then turned around to smile at Schumer
Good. I support all 3.
Two easiest things to do:
1) Start a war that other people have to fight, and
2) Spend other people’s money.
Everybody who voted for this murderous “aid” package will answer to God Almighty some day. Pray for peace.
“I think the courts will stay out of this one.”
Frkin’idjit. What the hell do you think they did the last time?
The title is all wrong. Should read
"House approves aid bill for Gaza"
No transparency, giving our tax money to our enemies while hiding the fact. Meanwhile, no aid to our own citizens.
Destroy the United States of America
And money is the easiest tool to use to do it they even find gold bars sown into coat lapels.
D.C. is the biggest department of corruption in the country.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
LockheedMartin, Raytheon, Boeing, General Atomics, et al. raise a glass to their continued profitable merchants of death success with the whores of the US Congress
I would support the aid to Ukraine if Trump were President. Trump would use it as leverage to get a better settlement for Ukraine. But with Biden as President, it’ll just prolong the stalemate.
He was in the Leadership.
Fake from day one, like almost all of them.
Putin will now “up the ante” in this fools poker game.
Putin will not lose,body counts will no longer matter to that clown.
The result will be more Slavic blood,generations ended bomb by bomb.
Watch the usual resident ghouls here on Free Republic feast on it.
Sickening.
“The House voted overwhelmingly to approve the aid bill for allies in the Indo-Pacific in a 385 to 34 vote, “
That is code for GAZA in case anyone didn’t know. That is right folks. The US is funding those terrorists attacked Israel.
