Dusty Johnson (R-SD)...what a skeevy, sarcastic, combative little Republican runt



"That's not how a negotiation works," said Johnson. "The law says that the president needs to step forward with a budget first."

*****

"I'm not going to negotiate against the Republican Party on CNN," Johnson insisted. "We're asking for President Biden to be responsible, sensible, and reasonable and be willing to come to the table and negotiate."

"Our Manu Raju is reporting that defense budget cuts are also on the table," said Sciutto. "Can you name a defense weapons system or program that you'd be willing to cut money from?"

Johnson responded: "I get what your goal is today, your goal is to get Republicans to negotiate against themselves."

It's been a game since well before the midterms.

"We're gonna hold the debt ceiling hostage until you give us EVERYTHING we WANT."

"Well...what do you want?"

"Oh no...we're not playing THAT game. YOU need to tell US."

JESUS.

The original plan was for Dems to get blood on their hands as the Republicans lived out their perpetual wet dream of gutting SS and Medicare.

OOOPS.
