You mean like the last bill that you idiots rejected? Jesus fuck I weep for my country.
Seems deliberate
They're doing Putin's bidding, because the orange shit-eating moron holding their chain does Putin's bidding.
Of course it's deliberate
They need something to bitch about during this upcoming election cycle
They don't care about the border. "The border" is a dog whistle for racism. If they cared, they wouldn't have voted against the most recent bill. They would have spent actual money on illegal crossings. They would have earmarked funds for better holding facilities. The list goes on.
Illegal crossings really aren't a huge issue. Most illegal immigrants enter legally and just don't leave.
Yea, bigger problem is how fucked our ports of entry are at the moment. Not enough space or staff to process everything that crosses.
If this really is an invasion like the GOP wants to claim, let's move some of that national "defense" budget into more ICE agents and more lawyers/judges in our immigration courts to process people. Let's weed out these supposed invaders. (Psssst I'm willing to bet a lot of money that there won't be any)
What a fucking wanker.
Problem is that the Speaker has a ton of power to set the legislative agenda in the House.
I do believe he was sent to us by God...
As a test, to see how long we'll put up with bullshit before dragging our politicians into the streets and defend our freedom.
And we're failing.
If anything, he's an excellent example of Epicurus' paradox. No omniscient, omnipotent, and benevolent god would ever allow creatures like him to wield such immense power.
Who's "we"? Because a lot of these assholes are doing exactly what their voters want.
This lazy "politicians" line has always been a way to reduce the complexity of the issue and ignore the simple fact a good deal of our country are morons and assholes that want all this.
You're up Hakeem. Discharge Petition.
Only does anything with a two thirds majority. He's not going to get that many Republicans to agree that the sun rises in the east, let alone go against their own petty tyrant leader.
Actually there are Republixans working for a Discharge Petition and it only requires a majority of House members to sign on to the petition, which means at least a handful of Republicans would have to sign on to give it teeth.
