It would appear that Rep. Greene (R-Ga) and the RightWingNuts in the US House have been signalled to stand-down against House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La) ….
In a get together today Johnson and Trump seem to have gotten along and straightened out things in a move have Johnson keep his position and get the House moving on legislation without Johnson being threatened ….
The FISA bill has been pasted…..
Johnson has Trump’s blessing to go ahead with the Ukraine funding bill if the tens’s of Billions are considered a ‘loan’….
(Nobodies gonna ask the Ukraine back for money anytime soon or ever…Both to get it passed, Senate Democrats will probably go along)
Trying to get rid of Johnson is NOT something Republicans or even Trump needs….
If you haven’t figured it out?
With a criminal trial coming shortly, Biden slipping past him in the national polls , and judgements over a half billion dollars and NO need for a Governm,ent shutdown ?
Donald Trump IS seemingly trying to slowly slip back to middle for the November Election…..
Former President Trump threw his support behind Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Friday as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) — one of Trump’s closest allies on Capitol Hill — threatens to force a vote on ousting the House leader.
Asked during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago if he supports Greene’s motion to vacate, Trump — while standing beside Johnson — said the Speaker is “doing a very good job.”
“We’re getting along very well with the Speaker and I get along very well with Marjorie. We have a Speaker who was voted in and it was a complicated process… it’s not an easy situation for any Speaker,” Trump said.
“I think he’s doing a very good job, he’s doing about as good as you’re going to do and I’m sure that Marjorie understands that,” he continued. “She’s a very good friend of mine and I know she has a lot of respect for the Speaker.”
Earlier in the joint appearance, Trump said Johnson is “doing a really good job under very tough circumstances.”
“I stand with the Speaker, we’ve had a very good relationship,” he added later.
The vote of confidence comes after Greene, an ardent Trump supporter, filed a motion to vacate — the same tool used to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) — against Johnson, arguing that he is no longer fit to serve the House GOP conference.
Greene, however, has not yet said when she plans to force a vote on her resolution, leaving Johnson — and the rest of the House — waiting as the chamber barrels through a number of tough legislative undertakings….

On Ukraine, Trump has frequently expressed his opposition to sending additional aid to Kyiv, even as Johnson has vowed to help the embattled U.S. ally. Last month, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told state television after meeting with Trump that the former president “will not give a penny into the Ukraine-Russia war.”
A growing sector of the House GOP conference has expressed opposition to sending additional aid to Ukraine.
Johnson and Trump, however, have had consensus on the idea of sending assistance to Ukraine as a loan. The former president first floated the idea, which Johnson embraced. He mentioned the concept again on Friday.
“We’re looking at it right now,” Trump said when asked if he would support a Ukraine aid bill should Johnson move forward with one. “They’re talking about it and we’re thinking about making it in the form of a loan instead of just a gift.”….
