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?
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.🤔😉😊
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.
Damn, just when I thought I had made up a good saying, I found out it actually comes from my past. I always said don’t go chasing after a falling knife. Well, my late husband was a stockbroker.
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 think Marji wants to be Speaker.

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.

Never negotiate with terrorists

Does the funding bill include $$ for immigration judges, etc?
Well, I'd suggest consulting an expert first; say James Carville!
