House Speaker Mike Johnson has gone from zero to Mitch McConnell in record time.
President Joe Biden on Wednesday morning signed a foreign aid bill that crawled out of Johnson's GOP House.
Johnson could have forged an adequate deal with Biden: "OK, Mr. President. House Republicans will agree not to spend a dollar on border security. But we need three things from you: Immediately, and for the rest of your presidency, you shall restore President Trump's successful Remain-in-Mexico policy, stop unilaterally paroling illegal aliens into America, and deport all violent felons currently in federal custody."
Johnson reckons, why not simply pass Democrat-friendly bills in the House and get on with it?
Rather than complete McCarthy's passage of seven of 12 individual appropriations bills Johnson filled the Swamp.
Alas, Johnson lacks the media savvy to stage such a simple, powerful event and paint Senate Democrats into a corner.
Last Saturday, Johnson made matters worse by passing separate bills on Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific and then pressing them into a giant meatball for the Senate to swallow in one gulp.
