    The House of Representatives sent a border security bill to the senate last year. Schumer refuses to bring it up.

    Because it wasn't bipartisan.

    Now let us see if the dems will be true to their word and try to protect the Speaker if the far-right in the GOP try to bring him down over this.

    What a load of histrionic crap. Providing aid to Ukraine is in our interests. It’s not evidence that someone “hates” the middle class. That’s silly partisan hysteria.

    Boehner would turn on the waterworks and Johnson mostly puckers up to smooch orange anus.

    He actually just did the right thing. But Perjury Failure Green is upset, the dimwit.

    Donald Trump will not allow any border legislation until after the election. He can't continue his fear/hate campaign if the situation at the border improves.

    The primary reason that Johnson brought this bill to the floor for a vote us because it includes aid for Israel. He said so himself. Kudos to him for putting country over party and his speakership, whatever his reasons.

    If you really wanted us to do that, why didn't you include a link?

    I'm far from infuriated.

    Contrary to what some Americans seem to believe, we share this planet with others. It's important to value our allies. It keeps us more secure.

    This bill does not include border legislation. Trump will not allow that.

    That was an ugly thing to say, but please tie it in to the topic at hand. What does one as-yet unelected Democrat candidate have to do with the aid bill?

    Or were you simply looking to throw dirt? If so, shame on you.

    FFS.

    An unelected candidate is not ... repeat, NOT, a prominent political figure, nor does he have anything to do with this issue. If you want to discuss this nobody, start your own thread, please.

    Stop derailing, or I'll report you to the mods for trying to pull a thread off topic,

    He should not require their support, but what was once the respectable, serious Republican Party is in free fall and complete disarray.

    As she ages in public view, Marge seems to be turning as ugly on the outside as she is on the inside. If we could get her and a few others voted out, perhaps the GOP will be able to regain credibility, but I'm not holding my breath.

    In another thread, I described the economic situation for @mudman .

    Unemployment rate, GDP growth rate, inflation, wage growth rate...

    He replied, without the slightest shame, that all these figures were worthless because what mattered was how citizens "felt about the economy".

    Basically, if someone feels that the country is in recession, he's right.

    Because that's HIS reality.

    So yes, facts have no influence on MAGA.

    Well it kinda is related to the topic because it was in reference to the spending bill which is the subject of this thread. Plus he took Biden's rhetoric to the next level.

    You need to head into the cannibal thread and start reporting those derailments. I'd do it myself but I don't report people.

    The point of this thread is the utter uselessness of Republicans. They caved on Ukraine aid and they caved on FISA. I knew they would. They will cave on the bill that opens the borders. They want the same thing as Democrats want. To bankrupt the country, to replace the native population, to decimate the middle class, to consolidate federal power, and to subvert constitutional protections.

    No rational person any longer believes Ukraine can win this. This aid package will do absolutely nothing to change the end result. It will just make certain wealthy Americans wealthier, more Ukrainians and Russian dead and continue to sour relations within NATO. The amount of prestige America will lose after this war is lost is going to be colossal. The empire is over and the idiots running the country haven't got the memo. Power comes from manufacturing and engineering. Manufacturing has been gutted in America and engineering is in the process of being gutted.

    Yes, you argued that because things are slightly better at this very moment that it makes up for and nullifies the first 3 horrible years of bidens presidency.

    Congratulations, you've proven you have no clue about what matters.

    It's like you're trying to argue that if the stock market does great for a particular week that it means it's doing great overall....when in fact it takes much more than 1 week (or month, or 6 months, etc) to claim that.

    So yes, actual, relevant facts matter to me....not cherry picked ones used only to push an agenda like you seem to be fond of
