The Ukraine Firsters will use a discharge petition to bypass the Speaker for the $60B.

Since Mike Johnson will not bring the $60 billion dollar bill that was passed by the senate to the House floor that funds the deep state and their NGOs via Ukraine, I fully expect a quick and quiet discharge petition to be implemented to bypass the Speaker.

The Ukraine First Coalition probably have enough signatures already. They are just waiting on the opportune time to bypass the Speaker.

Representative Jim McGovern, the top Democrat on the House Rules Committee, filed legislation on Feb. 15 that could be used as a vehicle for a discharge petition, a rarely used procedural tool that eventually could force a vote on the bill if at least 218 House members - a majority of the chamber's 435 voting members - sign it.
Under House rules, Ukraine backers could begin collecting signatures for the petition around March 1.

Republicans blame Trump for them losing yet at every turn congressional republicans stab their voters in the back
$1200 check Trump endorsed--->GOP blocks it
Wall money Trump ran on--->Republicans block it
Section 240 to stop bias on the internet---> GOP doesn't support
Stopping Ukraine aid till border gets fixed the only time we even had leverage to get an immigration bill----> Republicans had Dems everything they want without gettting a bill
Republicans keep losing because who will turn out to support these cowards that constantly stab them in the back and give Dems everything they want.

Margins are so tight that it may cause the member to cross the aisle and the GOP loses the House as a result.
It should be done but the calculus on it may be rough.

The war is over but our business and shady shite in Ukraine will continue.
Now we get to build their military. And rebuild their country. And politicians and defense company executives will get richer and tell the poor schmucks on the OT that it’s actually good for them and laugh as they watch them lap it up.

and have the risk of them being replaced by democrats, who will greenlight all the foreign aid and cause even more destruction to our economy and allow even MORE illegals into the country?

Yep.
This is three times now that Republicans have fricked their voters on the border. First when they refused to give Trump a few billion for border security and a wall. Second when they tried to pass that bull shite border scrap package attached to a $90B Ukraine First giveaway. And now third with this $90B Ukraine boondoggle and no border security after publicly declaring no Ukraine money until border deal, directly betraying and lying to their voters.
And when they lose after their voters desert them, cucks will cry “Trump!” with absolutely no accountability for how Congressional Republicans are responsible for the current state of the Republican Party.

You don’t become multimillionaires on $150k salary folks. Cut them some slack.

Yes.
Sometimes you have to rebuild from nothing and start again when the structure has been corroded. Otherwise you never get better.
In case you haven’t noticed, Republicans have been complicit in everything you mentioned and will continue to be until they are purged.

They are giving the speaker time to negotiate with the Biden administation. Trump is supposed to be talking to Johnson today or tomorrow about turning the aid from a grant into a loan. Ukraine has already said it would agree to that proposal. So if Johnson can get Biden and the Senate dems to agree to an idea originally proposed by Trump then they do not have to bypass the speaker.
