Let me be clear: I despise the man. He's one of those 'My Faith over My Country' theocrats who doesn't give a sh*t about The Constitution. And he's shown himself to be a hypocritcal A-hole when he *Demanded* that border security be The House's funding Priority #1 --- uh, until his GOP colleagues in the Senate handed him a bipartisan border security bill and Trump ordered him to trash it.
But that said, I'm grateful that, after all his stalling, he ultimately brought a Ukraine funding bill to the House floor. But think about how crazy this all is. The vast majority of Congress has been ready to pass a new funding bill for Ukraine for months. How can the fate of an entire nation be riding on the decision of one representative from Louisiana?
How can we have Congressional policies that allow this kind of sh*t to happen? I thought the same thing when Tubberville, the dipsh*t Senator from Alabama, prevented promotions in the military for ages. It tells me we've got a lot of Congressional rules that are in need of serious updating. For WAY too long, Congress assumed its members were operating in good faith for the betterment of our country. That sure as hell not the case any more.
Anyway, I commend Speaker Johnson (this time) for coming to his senses and doing The Right Thing even though it may cost him his job. "Moscow Marge" and her wacko crew are threatening to kick Johnson to the curb because of it.
