Good for oldTOAB McCollun
TITS ON A BOAR =TOAB.
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?
Tossing his uniparty pals out of the lifeboat, eh?
The Trump effect. DJT put the pubbies on notice that this is a bad bill saying no bill is better than a bad bill.
But this proves putting enough pressure on RINOs can work.
It's also time McConnell got the message -- no more money for Ukraine and that the budget deficit must start going down significantly.
Here is my guess as to what has happened. It is all about Israel funding. Maga Republicans said NO to Ukraine funding. Then the Uniparty tied Israel and border funding to Ukraine because they knew that is what the Maga players wanted. Then McConnell gets Lankford and Sinema to write the bill, figuring they would be expendable for the Uniparty. Speaker of the House proposes a stand alone funding bill for Israel, and Biden says he will veto it. The Uniparty releases a horrible bill, knowing no one will pass it, thus torpedoing the Border and Israel Bills. Then he comes back with a reduced standalone Ukraine funding bill, say 30 billion. Everyone is happy, and McConnell gets rid of Lankford and Sinema.
Mitch McConnell is a snake. Not to be trusted. He has taken 10’s of millions in bribes from communist China thru his father-in-law who built ships for the communists.
Thanks for the thread!
“As for Lankford, he’s a done deal.”
Unfortunately not up for re-election until 2028. Put him on the top of the list to be primary and out. Oklahoma is a very conservative state. He has betrayed Oklahoma.
A desperate man acting desperately.
I’m not so sure that he had enough votes.
Unparty is hanging on by their fingernails despite 90% of industry/institution and billionaires colluding/conspiring on their behalf.
They are in deep desperation mode.
Sounds like Turtle is scared about loosing his job.
McCarthy tried to play this game too.
It didn’t go well for him.
It’s a head fake. By putting this ridiculous bill out there first, they can then put a slightly better but still terrible bill up next, then say the republicans are being unreasonable.
Wash, rinse, repeat. They do this head fake trick all the time. Meanwhile the compliant media will play their role in reinforcing the next version to be impossible to block because it satisfies everyone.
They must think we are a bunch of morons. Well, for a large swath of the population, that’s true.
Once again, the only thing that should be in this bill is to cancel all funding to help the illegals then start immediately deporting all illegals. Any who don’t self deport in 30 days can never come back legally. Re-implement the “Remain in Mexico” policy and turn away all those liars who cry hardship. Oh, and here’s the big thing, the anchor baby loophole must be closed. It was never meant to be abused like this.
Just about every single one of them, the politicians, are reprehensible maggots. I hate them. There has to be a better way.
The blowback must have been absolutely horrendous.
The bill would have been the deathknell for America. Not that we are out of the woods.
Next China Mitch is going to stand against China.
Mitch only opposed this shit sandwich was because he doesn’t like bread.
Yeh, now that they are threatening to remove Mitch from leadership. Which should have happened years ago.
I hope Schumer does bring it to a vote. I want to see the nine suicidal traitors in our party that would vote for this bullshit.
