Their actions of fighting Republican proposals AND tying the border to aid in Ukraine speaks contrary to a “fix the border” message. Couldn’t they simply decide to have a separate border deal and put some hard line proposals out there? Republicans would pass it immediately and then the problem is solved. Democrats could even take the credit and that would be a great political move considering how highly immigration ranks on voters minds. They could take the spear right out of the republican party’s hands. Democrats aren’t the ones tying border funding with Ukraine aide - Republicans are - lmao.

LeviF Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Arrest Mayorkas and charge him. Maybe the next one will learn something. Other than that there’s nothing to be done because the DHS can simply ignore all the “deals” that get made like they ignore their mandate now. PS regardless of the above most Republicans are just dudes in red states who desperately want the coastal approval that comes from the D next to their name but can’t because they wouldn’t get elected. So they resent their electorate which results in the kinds of “deals” like we just saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Democrats recognize that it’s a problem which it is Especially because they say so 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they hate their constituents , just the scumbags who turned on them in their own party to protect themselves. trump has them by the balls and they're too wimpy to fight back. Tim Scott is an embarrassment. btw, I don't think the Cheney's are hurting for money. Kinzinger strikes me as a regular guy.

I am a bit confused about the point you are trying to make here. I am arguing that it should not be tied to Ukraine funding. Why do these things have to be tied together at all? Why can't our government just function and bring an actual bill across to fix an actual problem. I'd prefer it not be stuffed with more pork than a hog farm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeviF Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Why should we have to compromise with people that hold the position “third worlders are going to replace you and your people and we think it’s funny” Thankfully at least one person seems to agree with me.

ChiGoose Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Are there actually people out there who are so self-deluded that they actually believe that the GOP wants to solve the border crisis? It defies all evidence, logic, root cause analysis, and understanding of political science, so it’s hard for me to believe that there are rubes who actually buy that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
