Victory Lap??? For passing a bill that won’t see daylight in the Senate, much less have President Potato sign it?

This will now be blamed on the Republicans. Watch the headlines next week.

“They don’t call it the Stupid Party for nothing. If they had passed tough border bills in Trump’s first 2 years when they had a majority in both the the House and Senate they would’ve held the House in 2018 and possibly prevented the fraudulent 2020 Presidential election.”

You forget: The Speaker of the House back then was the despicable Paul Ryan, who would damned sure have blocked any such legislation from coming to a floor vote.

The sad news is that the Dung Beetles stole the Senate with corruption in 2022 and that bill doesn’t mean Jack. The retarded Millies and Zeros sent back more banana boater voter mail in ballots than the American side did.

This cynicism will completely bring defeat. And don’t bother to go out vote because the Dems will just steal and cheat. Just don’t do a damned thing because we are all beaten.

See post 19. It is essentially worthless as it stands, but attach it to the debt increase and the rats have a real problem, deny the debt increase or approve the border law. McCarthy is a real speaker if he has the testicles to do that. Don’t hold your breath.

What are the choices....The house did a good thing...give them the credit they deserve....it’s a good bill.

No way!!! It's fun to be a cynic and bitch and moan and bitch and moan. It's like expressing all of the pent up road wage without even having to drive the car..

this should be business as usual, not cause for victory (unless it is signed into law). what dope is mccarthy smoking, because it surely must be powerful ****.

a followup question is how much pork did it take on the R side to pass this virtue signalling? or maybe that is what the victory lap is really all about??

(sorry, i have been around too long to be very optimistic)

It’s not like they’re the little lady across the street.

They know it will never get past their Lunch Mates in the Senate.

So, it’s misleading.

There were 300 Votes against Obamacare, but when it mattered, they voted very differently.

The House voted to pass a sweeping border security and immigration bill on Thursday evening, just hours before the Trump-era immigration order-- Title 42-- expires at midnight.

The sweeping border security and immigration bill passed by a vote of 219-213. Two Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and John Duarte of California, joined all Democrats in voting against the legislation.

Thank you from me as well. The cynicism about this is soooo depressing.
