I agree. Ukraine is a distraction. So how do we build a wall? Joe Biden will just veto it even if we get it passed through Congress.
It’s true we couldn’t build an actual wall that would stop this, but if Mccarthy had even a bit of a spine he could at least fight for actual border security steps. That might be incremental but would still make a huge difference, and as part of the budget bill it’s not something Biden would veto because he and the Demonrats would be turning down too many other things. It’s frustrating that the wall is so difficult to bring in practice, but it’s not the only way to protect our border. At the very least we need to have more aggressive and effective controls and a return to a detainment in Mexico and other countries policy.
Mccarthy might not have been able to get all of that, but he could have gotten less some of that to help stem the scale of the massive invasion hitting us right now. Instead, Mccarthy failed to move the needle at all on that, because he didn’t even bother to fight for border security at all. Not one dollar in there to do anything about the literal invasion we’re facing right now, making the streets of even small towns unsafe and infesting our school cafeterias and playgrounds with fentanyl and meth to poison our kids. That was an unbelievably pitiful and unforgivable surrender on the single most important issue for America’s survival right now, by a bribed cheap labor lobby shill whose been masquerading as the leader of a party that’s supposed to stand up for conservative goals.
At the very least Mccarthy should have pushed hard for inclusion of some border security improvements in the stopgap budget funding bill, rather than making such a fuss about Ukraine (that’s getting funded anyway) or any other sideshow issues that aren’t even barely relevant to the most urgent and serious issues for America’s very survival right now. Especially the border, and the outrageous over-spending driving us into insolvency, above all with the Biden’s corruption, the kangaroo courts and his new Lois Lerner goon squad of tax collectors, funded explicitly to go after conservative individuals and businesses. All to get us to pay for our own replacement as the invasion continues with thousands of criminals, thugs and cartel traffickers pouring over the border every day. He only mentioned Ukraine as a way to cope and distract from the fact that Mccarthy failed the conservative base and the American people on the most critical issues we do have to deal with.
He needs to be ignored here and his fundamental failure called out. Because above all, Mccarthy needs to go. The stopgap won’t even fund a month based on the swelling deficits and debt based on what the budget guy was saying just a couple hours ago. And we need a real leader to fight our fight when the fight starts up again on the budget within the next two weeks.
