That is very true, and I think a big question at their upcoming re-election campaigns needs to be "Why didn't you stand with Al Green when he stood up, alone, against Trump?" asked repeatedly, over and over again

Stick that cane right up Mike Johnson’s arse! I really hate that smug SOB. He’s the MFer who screwed President Biden. Biden & Congress had agreed upon his Border Bill until Trump called Johnson and told him to destroy it. That action lost the election for Harris/Walz.

What I'm repeatedly saying...next time Green and fuckface Johnson meets, Green should give that asskisser the Preston Brooks treatment until the cane breaks.

Then getting a new one and continue.
