It turns out House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) had a quiet mentor who helped pull off the biggest accomplishment of his rocky seven months with the gavel — defying his right wing to pass a vital aid package for Israel and Ukraine.

“a decade ago chronologically, but an eon ago in the GOP’s radical evolution”

The rest of the piece makes me think that an eon really isn’t all that much.

Horrible news if true. I find it hilarious no one associates Johnson’s willingness to help the MIC with the fact he lives next door to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana.

John Boehner taught Johnson the corrupt ways of DC.

the GOP’s radical evolution

How about the radical evolution of the Dems? From being against gay marriage to shilling for pedos?

…”full-MAGA speaker.”

In what universe do Johnson’s actions qualify him for MAGA status???

Like you joebucks, Mike Johnson has proven that he’s a phony Christian, willing to deceive to advance. Fool me once shame on me, but neither he nor you will fool anyone anymore.

Can you show me where I claim to be a Christian? So how can I be a phony Christian? Or maybe I am but have never claimed to be. Or I may be Jewish. Or nothing. Or Hindu. Or Islamic.

Here in NJ I can walk to at least two stores with excellent inventories and can even have products delivered for no charge. Plus I can get the old guy discount.

Then there’s always people that can deliver outside the legal stores, but they don’t have gummies usually, my preferred product.
