Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made the shocking decision to recommend Republicans block the advancement of the Senate pro-migration border bill.

That first procedural vote was set for Wednesday. It is unknown if Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will forge ahead

..... Snip.....

The longtime Republican leader has spoken in favor of the deal and did not express any personal hesitations about the legislation to his colleagues

Leaked details of the secretive deal, which McConnell’s chosen Republican lead negotiator Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) and other allies denied, were confirmed Sunday upon the bill’s release. The overwhelming opposition led to McConnell altering his plan Monday night.

Even Lankford, who continued championing the deal leading up to Monday night’s Senate Republican Conference meeting, would not say after the meeting if he would vote to move forward Wednesday on the deal he negotiated,

How about “No illegals allowed Bill”, and in small print, they will be made legal before entry.
This is all misdirection. Mitchie is just decoupling the bills so he can samp the border part of it. In that case, Lankford really is a patsy.

And of course, the bill will be called some glitzy pro-American name such as "All-American Border Act of 2024"

I would almost bet an RC Cola and a Moon Pie on it.

“Leaked details of the secretive deal,...”


This is the problem right here. Why is something so important a ‘secretive deal’? Yes I realize the Constitutional Convention was secretive, but it wasn’t over 500 pages that few would or could read.

If border security was of vital importance to them, they’d submit a stand-alone bill instead of piggybacking it on another odious piece of legislation. More proof they just don’t GAF.

I’m guessing that Mitch had a minion read the bill, and discovered that he, (Mitch), wasn’t getting as big a kickback from it as Chuck Schumer promised him.

“News” “Reports” are written for idiots.

Does anybody know the bill number we’re talking about?

Yes, the one who said 13 year olds can consent.

He might as well not run again, but he’s up there four more years as I recall.

You got caught Mitch you POS.“

Exactly. I think Trump held his powder and let Mitch know he was going to rain hell down Mitch and the boys. Haley really looks like an idiot now, she came out all for this nightmare bill.

They had graphs, charts, summaries, color PowerPoint slides, and such all over the broadcast propaganda networks. Imagine news outlets putting all that together (Before) the bill was made available for anyone to view??!!!
