Johnson demands meeting with Biden if president wants aid bill to make it to his desk

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is demanding to meet with President Joe Biden for a one-on-one, in-person discussion over the Ukraine and Israel foreign aid bill that is now before the House, placing the president in the hot seat if he wants to see the bill on his desk.

A source close to Johnson told NBC News that Johnson and his staff have repeatedly asked for meetings over the last two months after the speaker’s trip to the southern border in Eagle Pass, Texas. However, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) said on Tuesday that Biden “refuses” to meet with Johnson.

“Ultimately, the two of them could come to an agreement that can become law,” Scalise said. “And yet the president refuses to even meet. So, the president can’t say he’s serious about Ukraine or the border when he refuses to meet with the speaker so they can come to an agreement on this issue.”

Now that Johnson is asking for a meeting with Biden on the foreign aid bill, it places the ball in the president’s court to see whether he is willing to debate or make concessions on foreign spending.

IF they can force President Poopy Pants into a meeting,that means his handlers MUST medicate and train him to perform like the barking seal he is.

They are reluctant to do this because (MY GUESS) is there are only so many more times they can "soup him up" on drugs to the point where he is semi-lucid,and then he dies.

I can't speak for the rest of you,but Biden dying while still in office is one of the most massive and scary nightmares I have ever had.

IF that happens,whoever is crowned to replace him will be unbeatable,period. It would take a ticket with Jesus at the top and with George Washington as his running mate to even pose a threat.

And THAT,will be the end  of America as an independent nation of free people.

I  can already see his face on Mount Rushmore,and even on our currency. Hell,this might have been a part of his handlers plans from the word "go!",for all I know.

Who?

Kamala would automatically become the President, and then the Dems would have to bypass a sitting black female President as their nominee.  Pretty risky, although I suppose its even riskier to run her.

As dumb as she is,she still understands that leaving with a PILE of cash is better than leaving in a casket.

And she still makes the history  books as being our first female VP.

Why demand a meeting with Biden?

If Biden wants the money, Biden will approach Johnson, as long as House GOP hold their ground.

The House GOP has the high ground.

Biden needs to explain to the American people the rationale of his Open Border and America Last policies.

Not going to happen.  Life isn't a Tom Clancy novel.

Johnson is in no position to demand anything.

The GOP lost another seat...so any leverage is getting very thin.

Memo to Speaker Johnson:

Forget about any "meeting".
There's no compromise position possible with this enemy that can benefit your side.

Throw the Senate bill in the trash, and start over in the House.
Isn't that where all expenditures are supposed to begin, anyway...?

Biden won't meet with Johnson because Jill and the rest of the "handlers" don't want Joe in an unscripted discussion with a political opponent.  If the Speaker comes out and says "he was clueless, disengaged, and didn't make any sense", lots of folks would find that credible. So they won't let it happen.
