"SNIP...........

“The White House dismissed Speaker Mike Johnson’s demand for direct talks with President Joe Biden to resolve an impasse over border security and Ukraine aid,” Bloomberg reports.

“Johnson insisted on personal negotiations with the president before he would allow a House vote on $95 billion bill in aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. The White House countered that Johnson’s position on immigration and foreign aid has repeatedly shifted, and thus a meeting with the president would be unproductive.”

.........SNIP"

1. He can't be trusted as far as you could throw a grand piano,

so what point would there be in "negotiating" with him? He can't be relied on to uphold anything he said he would agree to.

[FarPoint]

17. Johnson is an arrogant prick....

Biden is putting him in his place...Johnson trying to order/command our President!

[FarPoint]

17. Johnson is an arrogant prick....

Biden is putting him in his place...Johnson trying to order/command our President!

[peppertree]

19. About time someone put him in his place

I mean, besides his son.

[COL Mustard]

44. He'd negotiate something, and then

Former President Stinky would change the narrative and cut the rug out from under him.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

2. Good. America doesn't negotiate with weasels.

Moral weasels, that is.

[lastlib]

22. That comparison would be insulting to the entire Mustelidae family!

Weasels are noble beasts compared to Speaker Moses and the rest of the repuglikan crime ring. They are just scum.

But your point is well-taken.

[yankee87]

3. No negotiations with terrorists

Fuck that faux Xtian POS. He makes no demands and changes his position according to the Orange Messiah.

[agingdem]

4. for some reason I can picture

MAGA Mike coming into the Oval Office carrying a cardboard cut out of Trump...

[Arne]

5. For no reason,

I just thought of way back when the naked trump statues were distributed around the country.
Please someone find them again...

[COL Mustard]

45. Please no!

I can't put bleach in my eyes to unsee that!

[keithbvadu2]

51. Homer says:::

[MOMFUDSKI]

6. Good. Was hoping that Joe would tell him

to - you know the rest.

[BidenRocks]

20. Pound sand?

That's putting it as nice as I can.

[lastlib]

24. My translation would be "to....

....proceed with self-fornication, Mr. Speaker. With a pitchfork."

[Xavier Breath]

27. Would his kid's phone light up for Dad's self abuse? n/t

[SouthernDem4ever]

43. LOL

[Klondike Kat]

46. I would like to add that

the horse he rode in on could use servicing as well.

[ThoughtCriminal]

7. Why play Calvin Ball with this loser?

Johnson has already established that he will not negotiate in good faith and will change the rules in any way that prevent progress.

[Raven123]

8. Negotiating with Johnson is equal to negotiating with TFG

A hard pass on that is not negotiable

[AnrothElf]

9. In other words...

"Go fuck yourself, Johnson."

[bluesbassman]

38. He is a Johnson, isn't he?

Sorry, it was just such low hanging fruit.

[rubbersole]

10. Mikey, POTUS has your treasonous ass bs number.

Good luck going forward. Marge is on line 2...

[world wide wally]

11. No point in meeting with Johnson, just talk straight to TSF

[Nanuke]

12. Johnson is toast

Besides, why would he meet with a president he says is mentally incapacitated? Can’t have it both ways little Mikey.

[orangecrush]

13. Go Joe!

Take a hike, Mike!

[NBachers]

14. When your enemy is drowning, throw him an anvil.

[StarryNite]

15. Mikey thinks he gets to call all the shots

No, no little Mikey.

[Attilatheblond]

50. Kinda like that big hat sheriff complaining the other day that Biden won't meet with all 5500+ sheriffs in the US

These clowns have a rather unrealistic opinion of themselves relative to the rather busy schedule of the current US President. Biden isn't sitting watching TV or golfing all day like TSF did.

[twodogsbarking]

16. And the elephant you rode in on.

[LaMouffette]

21. It's dj vu all over again! Johnson is holding up aid to Ukraine to hurt Biden, much like Trump's "perfect phone call"

to Vlodomir Zelensky in which he threatened to withhold funding to Ukraine in an effort to hurt Biden. They are both slimy thugs who fancy themselves as powerful and oh-so-clever wheeler-dealers.

I would say President Biden's refusal to meet with that dick Johnson is overwhelming proof that Joe's memory, reasoning, and judgment are all quite excellent!

P.S. Ha! I typed "déjà vu" in the title of my post and it came out as "dj vu"! If it's not already taken (I bet it is), that is going to be my name if I ever become a rap star! To quote Judy Tenuta: "It could happen!"

P.P.S. Thanks to whomever for the hearts! Much appreciated

[Bluethroughu]

37. Traitor mike.

[Wonder Why]

23. "Mr. Johnson, since you have no authority to negotiate anything without Mr. Trump being with you, we will be pleased to

meet the two of you at the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth when he is safely ensconced there,"

[niyad]

30. Make it so!

[Postal Grunt]

47. Lets reconsider that,....

I live in Leavenworth, KS, just about two miles away from "the Hot House". The Supermax in Florence, CO would be more appropriate.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

25. A liar's word is worthless, just like KremlinKevin and traitortrump.

[spooky3]

26. Johnson, you should be talking with Leader Jeffries. And did

You notice that you are one vote shorter?

[NCjack]

48. Johnson wants to divide Jefferies and Biden, and then leave Biden without a deal.

[aggiesal]

28. He's fishing for information to hand over to Pendejo45. n/t

[JustAnotherGen]

33. Bingo

On point!

[samsingh]

29. i hope plan B gets the bill to the floor for a vote

[Tetrachloride]

31. Feelings. Nothing more than feelings. Whoa whoa whoa Feelings

[Historic NY]

32. They have to two bills the negotiation has been completed

[applegrove]

34. Joe knows bs when he sees it.

[appmanga]

35. That...

...is how a master politician says "Screw you".

[Bluethroughu]

36. Forget that TRAITOR.

He's an untrustworthy traitor.

Liar.

He's a nobody, in the position his party didn't want to fill.

[BaronChocula]

39. BEAT THAT FUCKER LIKE A RENTED MULE!

Though I don't believe in beating animals. I'd even think twice before salting a slug. But I don't think I'd have a problem salting a republicon.

[ZonkerHarris]

40. Number of votes Johnson can deliver to any deal: 0

[Martin Eden]

41. Johnson takes his marching orders from The Fascist Grifter

And has proven he's not interested in responsible governance. Johnson’s only goal is political theater aimed at hurting Biden to help Trump.

[Skittles]

42. repukes have shown ZERO RESPECT towards President Biden

so FUCK THEM ALL

[Blue Idaho]

49. Priceless...

Until Johnson and his howling monkeys stop destroying their own legislative efforts, they can sit at the kids table and remain silent.

[keithbvadu2]

52. It cannot be very important if Mikey is sending his House on vacation.

[bucolic_frolic]

53. Mr. Johnson thinks he's some sort of almost president?

White House was wise to avoid this meeting. Johnson would come out of it lying as usual.
