He will now return to carrying water for his unhinged party and its unhinged leader. He deserves very little “credit” for this, since “doing the right thing” should have been obvious months ago, when reports were bleak in Ukraine. Naturally we all wish billions of war aid wasn’t necessary. But there is a madman annexing land to give Russia motherland “room to breath” or whatever it was Hitler said about expanding Germany. This is what happens when power over an entire nation is placed in the hands of one tyrant. The results are bad. Putin is behaving frighteningly like Hitler, and should be treated as such and eventually captured and tried before an international tribunal. So yes, Mike finally did the necessary thing.

Too busy finding his way to the bathroom from his new office?

I've worked in government. People in Johnson's position have private bathrooms off their offices.

They do not shit and piss with the masses.

Master Sergeants are very busy this week having their troops pack weaponry for shipment.

My prediction is that quite a lot of our stocks will be “condemned” and sent to Ukraine for disposal.

40 year old nato rounds will fire just fine from M4 and M16s. The same is true for 154mm rounds.

These are legal ways to expand our assistance.

I’m weary of stories on the news praising this twink-past-his-sell-by-date.

Did I read it or dream it that the Ukraine money is a loan and not gifted?

All of this just means that Putin has to work harder to get the proven rapist Defendant Trump back in office, as his other minions just do not have the single force of will to capitulate to Russia the way Sleepy Don does.

"My philosophy is do the right thing." Will god tell him gun control is good? My guess is no.

I’m willing to bet Johnson won’t trash the Dems the way McCarthy did because he can use his Christianity as a cover. It was the moral thing to do, etc. McCarthy’s only religion is ambition and he’s even bad at that.

It's either that we're going to find that the repubs slid in some sleazy shit into the bill (putting in a work requirement for school lunch recipients, cutting federal funds for cancer research, etc.) but if they didn't, the blame for this delay has to go to Heavenly Father.

The "Religious Right" continues to baffle me. Belief in a Supreme Being can only be considered a matter of individual preference. I have yet to see any empirical evidence to support either position However, if you choose to be a believer,. how can you possibly believe that this , Omnipotent, Omnipresent Being, capable of existing in all time and space simultaneously, capable of creating infinite universes simply by imagining their existence, is deeply involved in the intimate details of your personal life. It is an act of such colossal arrogance that it could rightly be labeled insanity.

"My philosophy is do the right thing..." That can't be why he did it.

"History judges us by what we do" .... so he did it because he thinks it'll help his reelection chances.

Sky daddy put Trump in a courtroom so Johnson could have an ounce of breathing room. Also I'm sure Johnson didn't make a move without first noticing that even Republicans are sick of the Freedom Caucus.
