I think he’s just being who he really is. How else can you explain him giving 60 billion to Nazi Ukraine on Hitler’s birthday?

No, no. Not compromised. He was anti-Uke till he saw the Intel Reports.

All tied up with a pretty bow and presented to him by Fedzilla.

Just unbelievable. You might as well make a Democrat Speaker of the House.

Thinking Republicans have to be blackmailed to behave this way, is like marrying a stripper and then when you find her having an affair, you’re convinced she must’ve been coerced at gunpoint into doing it.

Time for us to realize most of the GOP is 100% beholden to big money, big Pharma, and the defense industry. They’ll flip us the finger all day long… And we innocently sit here and think it had to be blackmail!

What can make a person flip their principles 180 degrees overnight?

The Deep State agencies told Johnson how it was going to go.

He talked a lot about how good he was but he’s turned out to be a big fraud.

I have to admit that I was fooled by the things he said.

I went from thinking I would like him to finding him repulsive.

Good analogy. But I'm afraid that, for a lot of older self-identifying "conservatives," they won't even believe that their ex-stripper wife is cheating on them. They are that clueless, lost in a world that no longer exists, if indeed it ever did.

As long as "conservatives" look to the GOP for salvation, all that awaits this country is political damnation.

Would you stand strong and stick to your principles if the dark guys threatened to put your wife and kids in a wood chipper?

He has a Master and he follows his Master’s orders.

And that Master resides at Fort Meade or Langley.

Not sure why people think there are two separate parties in the House and Senate. 35,000,000,000,000 reasons at present to think otherwise.
