All GOP are cowards, this is nothing new. Just see the 2016 election when they all eventually bowed to Trump, after so much big talk against him. Trump literally trashed them, insulted them and their families, and they still suck his dick. Though part of that is them also bowing to Trump's supporters. They wouldn't still be in office if they didn't bow to Trump to also get the support of his base.

Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

They all cower to tiny d, who has his lips wrapped around the base of Putin's unit.
The Donald has an enormous popular movement of American Fascists banging at the gates demanding that they be given control of government for another four years.
Mike Johnson has every reason to cower. He dodged a bullet on the last Jan 6th. Might not be so lucky next time.
“As Congress debates the best path forward to support Ukraine, the United States and our partners must be using every means available to cut off Putin’s ability to fund his unprovoked war in Ukraine and aggression against the Baltic states,” he said in a statement.
How dare he!? The asshole that has done nothing but block aid to Ukraine, and help Putin. That man has no shame no integrity, and he is all traitor. He lies with a straight face as naturally as breathing. Total sociopath!!!
A Republican, in other words.
Yes unfortunately, except the MAGA crowd is even worse than Republicans used to be. They used to be crazy, the MAGA crowd is insane.
Johnson reminds me of a type of guy who got his ass bullied for his milk money when he was a first grader. Now suffers from Stockholm Syndrome by rooting for those who would be the type that bullied him.
I'd say his killing the border deal that his own party wanted because Trump said so showed that.
Its a time-tested tactic among Republicans. Keep demanding the incrementally more-extreme thing while Dems are in office and never compromising until the last minute. Then campaigning on the delay as proof that Big Government Doesn't Work. Get all your media allies to run endless horror stories of migrant serial killers and liberal arts college kids doing transgenderism with your tax dollars to wipe your base up into a Satanic Panic.
If you scream loud enough and long enough, eventually you can convince all those mushy centrist libs that something has to be done. And you can ride in on a big red wave to run government for the next 2-6 years.
He’s a republican. A coward by definition.
To be fair, we already knew he was a coward.
Congress is not debating anything Mike. You sent them on vacation because you where losing control of Congress with your failed impeachment attempt and blocking of the border bill on trump's behest.
