Cowards: Senate blocks Laken Riley Act by Vote of 51-47
Breitbart ^ | March 23, 2024 | Sean Moran

Posted on 03/23/2024 12:03:25 PM PDT by Macho MAGA Man

The Senate voted 51-47 to block an amendment to add the Laken Riley Act to the funding bill.

As Breitbart News’s John Binder explained, the Laken Riley Act would “require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to take into custody illegal aliens arrested, charged, or convicted for burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting.”

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) wrote, “Senate Democrats are shutting down the government rather than allow us to vote on things like deporting criminal migrants. Say what you will, but they’re committed to open borders.”

This is why it's imperative that Trump gets back in office.

The Democrat Party supports criminals — and criminals support the Democrat Party.

“This is why it’s imperative that Trump gets back in office.”

But Trump is so brash? Is it not worth letting the Democrats destroy the country, providing we have someone we can look up to in the White House? What am I missing with you MAGA types? Is it really worth having an obtuse man in the White House, even if he’s the only one capable of keeping this country from being destroyed?

Even he won’t dare to tell the obvious truth.

The Democrats are committed to taking control of the House of Representatives in perpetuity by flooding the country with illegal aliens.

And unless we can deport millions of illegal aliens or change the laws regarding apportionment they have already succeeded.

Nothing but conflicting assertions. Why don't you try it again?

OTOH... don't bother; the second time might be even worse.

If only Trump would take some lessons in ‘civility’, how to work with others, even if those others want him dead and want this country destroyed.

Is that too much to ask, set a ‘new tone’ towards the people who want you dead or jailed for life?

“What’s your solution to solving this problem? Be specific!”

Perhaps a week or two with Miss Manners? Or some time at Nottingham Palace, to learn how us Upper Crust people behave towards those who want us dead?

I’m a reasonably intelligent guy, but with examples like this, I simply cannot comprehend how the right ever loses an election. Do we just put forward such piss poor candidates that can’t get their message across? Is it the MSM bias? Or is that women just wanna kill their babies and that over ride everything else?

"If only Trump would take some lessons in ‘civility’, how to work with others, even if those others want him dead and want this country destroyed."

So you are in fact aware that the Communists mean to kill Trump and to destroy America, and you want Trump to be nice about it.

Lincoln Riley is the head FB coach at USC, at least for the 2024 season.

The problem is, Conservatives are inclined towards the smallest government possible to fulfill the functions outlined in the Constitution. We value deferment of pleasure to assure the achievement of pleasure whenever it can be pursued in the future. And we value self sufficiency.

Leftists have no guiding mechanisms to lead them along that path.

Apart from the Leftists at the top who view control of people and money as the unspoken goal, Useful Idiot Leftists view government as the solution to the problems we face. To them, size of government is not important. They feel that adherence to Constitutional guidelines is irrelevant. To the Left, self-sufficiency is not viewed as an asset.

And most of all-the LEAST important thing to Leftists is the creation of a self-sustaining, viable government that can be available at any point in the future to facilitate life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness when it becomes a goal of an American Citizen.

Professional Leftists leverage it, and Useful Idiot Leftists worship it: The sacrifice of gain today and now in full exchange for a viable future. They are the fat people who would think nothing of appropriating a farm’s seed corn for next year’s crop to cook for the next few weeks of an easy meal.

That characteristic is endemic to the Left. And they ruthlessly exploit it via mechanisms like reparations or forgiving student loans, to get votes for TODAY.

That is why we have trouble beating them decisively. It is always easier to pander to children than to convince those children to forego a piece of candy today for an endless bag of candy in the future.

Things like the deliberate mass importation of people who do not share American values and may indeed murder Americans for their own reasons is not even on the chart of things that will cause any kind of cognitive dissonance on the Left, never mind a serious or debilitating case of cognitive dissonance.

It is why Leftist women have no problem voting enthusiastically for someone like Ted Kennedy who left a young female employee to drown in his overturned automobile in Chappaquiddick Pond back in 1968 because it might hurt him politically. Sure he caused the death of a young female employee, but he supported the sacrament of abortion.
