I have never seen or heard of in my country the degree of dishonesty Johnson represent. It's absolutely insane that this is politically possible in USA.
He got a border solution handed to him on a silver platter, then refused it, then refused a solution without it. Now he talks border deal again!
I am really tempted top say things about Johnson that are probably illegal, because they involve violence.

I don't want a solution, I want to be mad meme

Except Johnson pretends he was never given what he asked for. Despite he clearly was twice.

Maybe it would be better for the house to just break up with Mike Johnson once and for all.

Mike Johnson did not elect himself. Problem is that a majority of Republicans in the house agree with him.

the first priority of our country is our border.

Oh is it now!? If only there was some sweetheart deal chock full of concessions from the Dems that even your Senate brethren favored that you could push through the House in your role as Speaker. Gosh, all those do-nothing Liberals, amiright!?

This is called the "Johnson Treatment," ironically.
