Republicans only have themselves to blame for blowing up the border deal. I really hope this strategy backfires on them

Excellent question. Part of the answer might be that in court, 33 out of 35 of Trump's executive actions were found illegal, even though some of those cases were heard by Republican judges. Speaker Mike Johnson @speakerjohnson President Biden said “I’ve done all I can do” with executive authority to secure the border. That is simply untrue. He’s either lying or misinformed. Here are just a few of the authorities at his disposal – if only he would use them: • Presidential Authority to Restrict Entry 212(f) • Expedited Removal 235(b)(1) • Discretionary Detention Authority 236(a) • Mandatory Detention 236(c) No more excuses. |

Seriously? That man has such a fragile ego. Not someone you want as President that’s for sure. No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen…. “Breaking: Trump is reportedly melting down about rumors that Taylor Swift may endorse Biden in 2024. An aide to Trump said he is planning a “holy war” on her, insisting that he’s “more popular” than her and that his fans are more committed than Swifties.” x.com/noliewithbtc/status/1752442289203318975?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw |

Exactly and who collects those tarrifs? the government so an added tax, yes it is meant to make their products less attractive but we are very reliant on those products and it takes time to bring manufacturing back to the US. Added costs get passed on to consumers. So adding a 60% increase is going to hurt a lot of people.

Speaker Johnson also said this www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2024/jan/29/biden-border-immigration-abortion-republicans-trump-2024-election-latestAmerica is the most compassionate nation in the world, but our immigration system is broken. Reforming that system is a job for Congress, and any balanced legislative approach must include measures to strengthen border security,” Johnson said last year
a 2019 statement from Johnson, when he introduced a bill intended to close loopholes in immigration policy: “As the evidence shows, lapses in our immigration laws have been abused by many, hampering the resources reserved for refugees and undermining the effectiveness of asylum and border security programs. We must correct the longstanding loopholes that have encouraged illegal immigration and led to the crisis we face today.” |

Stopping the influx, right now, is a job for Biden. Which he not only is NOT doing, he went to the court to prevent Texas from doing it! |

Truth!
Acyn…
”Swalwell: Any shortcomings that Mayorkas might have frankly are your fault. He’s asking for authorities to do more, to have more agents, to have more resources. And so his limitations are caused by you.”
”Swalwell: Anyone who wants to proceed with this impeachment but voted against a guy who incited a mob and aimed them at the Capitol and had all of us running for our lives… if you didn’t vote for that one, I don’t understand how you can say this one is credible”
“Swalwell:It’s the difference between wanting to weaponize the problem and wanting to solve the problem.. You see so many on their side,border patrol agents seize fentanyl and to own the libs, they’ll say this is Biden’s border crisis. Were they not supposed to seize the fentanyl?”
“Swalwell: The only high crime that is happening in this room is that we are doing anything but working on a bipartisan deal that’s taking place in the Senate. That’s the crime.”
House Homeland Security Committee Democrats….
”Republicans said "not another dime" for DHS because they don't actually want to fix challenges at the border. They want to keep their political games going.”

I really can't get over the irony of the Republicans impeaching Mayorkas, falsely claiming he's not doing his job while they refuse to do their jobs and refuse to pass an immigration bill that would fund border security.

Speaker Johnson's demands to have zero border crossings is completely unrealistic. This also talks about more nefarious motivations to impeach Mayorkas, a trial run for a Biden impeachment without any evidence. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/01/30/mayorkas-impeachment-biden-house/House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) insisted on social media that the country’s border policies must result in “ZERO” illegal crossings into the United States. This is not practicable; barring the conversion of every means of entering the country — by land, boat or air — into high-security-prison-style barriers, there will be times that people enter the country without authorization. And people still circumvent prison barriers.
This argument is a way of establishing an impossible standard by which Johnson’s opponents can be criticized. It’s akin to the frequently promoted idea that zero illegal votes should be cast in an election — another demand that is not feasible, or necessary for the protection of elections.
We should also consider this effort, though, outside of the context of Mayorkas himself. This impeachment effort is, in substance and practice, a dry run for targeting Biden.
This is not a strong case, even setting aside the question of whether criticism of how a Cabinet secretary was conducting his job is even impeachable
All of this is instructive. The House may well impeach Mayorkas though there’s zero chance that the Senate would vote to remove him. It will allow Republicans to tell constituents that they’re taking action on immigration and against Biden. But it would also establish acceptance of a framework for targeting Biden: bad argumentation, incomplete evidence, political utility. In each case, even the Republicans’ allies note the lack of “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
“I want to be clear: This is not political theater,” Rep. Michael Guest (R-Miss.) insisted during Tuesday’s markup of the articles of impeachment. Good. The baseline we should accept for political theater is ZERO.
That, too, is unattainable.

I'm old enough to remember when Biden went to talk to the people of Lahaina who lost everything, including people, in the fire that burned their town to the ground.
He said he understands their loss because he had a kitchen fire and he "almost lost his corvette." A fire that the fire cheif said was out in 20 minutes and was not a big deal.
I'm old enough to remember at the beginning of the Afghanistan withdrawal in his interview when Biden was asked about the horrific scenes of people trying to escape and people so desperate they were clinging to the outside of an airplane taking off and falling to their death, he got mad and snapped "That was 5 days ago!" (it was 2 if that even matters in his repugnant answer)
I'm old enough to remember during the arrival of the flag draped coffins of our 13 soldiers, Biden kept checking his watch. Repeatedly.
I'm old enough to remember when Biden went to visit the families of those soldiers and they said they were disgusted with him as he kept talking more about his dead son than their sons who died as a result of HIS fucked up withdrawal.

She's all rah rah Joe on air, while she accidentally let fly her actual opinion. That's brainwashing, not informing her viewers. Just one of way too many, I've witnessed. An absurd amount of times. And yes it happens on both sides. I'm honest enough to say, that I've seen it on right leaning news as well as left leaning. Are you? Have you seen it on your news sources? Do you make excuses for it, or just blow it off? |
