An argument by former representative Adam Kinzinger suggested cutting a deal with Mike Johnson in which Democrats would save him in exchange for bringing the Ukraine aid bill up for a vote. Trouble is, he is not trustworthy. What is to say he would agree to such a deal, only to double-cross the Democrats who saved him?
Kinzinger has stated that he is a Reagan republican. Reagan’s “trickle down” has brought us to now w/gap between wealthy and poor have almost eliminated the middle income class. And it continues to widen more. Hating tRump is not enough to buy into whatever he says.
If, by some chance, Jeffries is thinking about throwing Mikey a lifeline, he should put a *substantial* price on it, e.g., regarding committies etc., and make some offers to (some) Republicans to entice them to switch.
Besides, Allah/Goddess willing, it’s only for nine months.🤔😉😊
Johnson will never concede to any of it. He already helped a little bit. Don’t expect more. Let the fake evangelical against-what-Jesus would ever approve fall. He’s another vile 💩, he just looks a little better and clean cut. But he’s just as poisonous ☠️ as the extreme right wingers trying to take down our country.
Oh, yeah he does, he just doesn't know it. then again, they are both writing so many ads for the Democrats in November it might be worth keeping them around.
Totally agree, and hope Ukraine can hold on. Maybe another couple of R’s will leave during the next round of chaos. Three weeks of the GQP not working? Who could tell? And Johnson’s home state is Louisiana, not Mississippi, but they are neck and neck in the race to the bottom.
You’ve convinced me! That’s for sure. I was a little confused at first because I had thought there was some agreement in the works from Johnson for Ukraine aid. We desperately need to provide that aid.
I read that Jeffries said that if Dems helped Johnson, then Johnson had to bring the disruption bills to the House so Dems could vote yes for Ukraine aid.
I totally agree with you, Dean. Why save a right-wing gerbil like Mike Johnson? If he goes down, let him. It's obvious that the current GOP-controlled House isn't going to do anything at all to help the American people, so who cares if Johnson gets thrown out? It's not as though he's worth saving. Let the GOP implode. It will only help Democrats in November. They are practically throwing the election our way and writing the campaign ads for us. Let's not get in the way of that.
Well, give the guy a break. After all, he still thinks the universe ws created 6,000 years ago, a throwbck to INHERIT THE WIND. He should be loved at the MAGA FARM.
Damn! You, as well as that woman with Ayman, were superb last night! MSNBC needs you, now more than ever and I'M SURE YOU KNOW WHAT i MEAN! And to Israel (I've never seen this word transliterated): HWEEEJA!!! (pain)
Great statement, Dean: “Don't try to catch a falling knife."
Any assistance or effort to save Johnson would be a dagger in the ass of progress. The D’s must not do that. Pay attention to the two prior sentences and say them again, and again on repeat.
We need to “find a new Speaker of the House”, Marj? There’s a guy named Hakim that’s available. 🤔😉😊
Don’t lift a finger!
LET THEM EAT EACH OTHER.
Any Democrat who helps that dangerous freak Johnson is certifiably insane.
(And I loved “don’t try to catch a falling knife.” Never heard that before.)
I haven’t either but I love the expression. It paints the perfect picture in one’s mind.

Never cut deals with republican cheats and liars. Their word is worthless.
“You knew I was a snake when you saved me”
Johnson is mini-McConnell. Don’t trust the little twerp.
That would seem to be a concern, wouldn’t it? 🤔😉😊

I think Marji wants to be Speaker.

She wants to be Queen of MAGA!
She’s already there. What MAGA woman is better known or has more influence? 🤔😉😊
No price. MAGAS don’t keep their word.
Dean has it right, as usual. Mike Johnson will go down in history as the degenerate non-christian he has always been.
I think that Democrats should help Johnson IF and ONLY IF they “get something” out of it. Moving the Ukraine package forward, etc.
Ukraine funding, border judges, Dreamers, removal of Comer & Jordan. And that’s just the start
Ah yes! Shitcan the Jimmies! A boy can dream, can’t he? 😉

( see •• stand in•• the very...

He doesn’t have the power for the latter, but the rest is at least plausible. 🤔😉😊

That's not enough. And can you trust Mike to keep his word? I'm sure he can find some bible verse to support anything he wants.
Agree.

Wrong word—should have written Discharge petition…

It’s somewhat speculative, but it would only take two Republican defectors to elect Jeffries outright. 🤔😉😊
Right wing gerbil--I love it!
Never negotiate with terrorists

Does the funding bill include $$ for immigration judges, etc?
What I'd like to know, in your opinion: Why would Democrats want to save him? What's the benefit for the country of doing so?
Well, I'd suggest consulting an expert first; say James Carville!
