Any minute the GOP party kapos will be along to tell us how these open borders Republicans are preferred to Democrats.

Isn't that the reason National Review exists? Like their endorsement of Mittens?

Please substitute:

I really wish you could edit posts!

In the weeks since, the absolute worst of Washington’s culture of do-nothing dysfunction has been on full display.

Understand this...
The Senate just voted to end the idea that America is a sovereign nation, all that entails.

A dark day in our history.

“Who is up for reelection in 2020?”

Like the Gang of 8, it doesn’t matter: we should never let them forget it and they should fear every primary from now on

These SOBs kicked the President on the signature issue so they don’t represent us or the Republican Party, they are only Nancy Pelosi and the Mexican President’s little buttboys

In the end, this resolution fails by veto and lack of votes to override. This is a fine opportunity for Trump to veto something and remind representatives and senators that his vote carries way more weight.

I’m not happy with Portman from Ohio, but unless he has a primary opponent, he has my vote in a general election against a Democrat. It’s that simple.

Good points. Still Toomey stabs us in the back again. He is RINO. I hope he has a challenger this year.

That’s exactly right. They just said Invasion is a civil right

The UK “The Office” is probably on Netflix.
You can certainly get it off Amazon.
I haven’t looked but you can probably watch it on Youtube.

Better satire!.

Which are up for reelection next year? It is time to start financing each and every primary challenger. I am ready to do so with $$$ right now!

Count me in, not that I have many resources. I'll FIND the money to support a movement like this.

Well we have to embrace the fight. We knew it was coming and Paul Ryan announced it on Tuesday. With every battle there are tipping points and we are staring at one now. They showed their hand way to earlier. This is a monster tell. If we don’t scream in their faces they will only become more emboldened.

Can Trump still veto this?

Yes he can, and yes he will.

The Senate will then have to muster 66 votes to override.

And the house will have to muster 290 votes to override. (It passed the House 245-182.)

Young was waffling up till just a couple days ago

Glad to see he came to his senses, but he owes the CoC for his election, so I had my doubts.

Remember back in January, only 3 repuki senators voted with the President on a non-binding amendment for his move to remove troops from syria and afghanistan

More than the number of repuki senators that actually voted for Trump in 2016
