Just about every single one of them, the politicians, are reprehensible maggots. I hate them. There has to be a better way.

I’m shocked, too, but very pleased. And very curious why. Mitch, Lankford aren’t up for reelect. ?

R money guys, cheap labor guys like Koch won’t feel any backlash. ??

Few R senators are in danger of losing this cycle, but those that are up in Nov. may have advised Mitch his precious senate majority will be in jeopardy if this passes. ? DjT doesn’t pull much sway over Mitch yet. ?

I thank God, but have no clue as to what changed in 24 hours. Maybe they heard us for a change. ????

Leader McConnell...

ROTF LMAO

This guy hasn’t had a clue about leadership in decades, if
ever.

And please don’t remind me that he helped get our judges
through. It was his job, and I’m not convinced he had to
lift a finger to facilitate the vote.

Conversely, suppose Schumer got word from his senators up for re-elect they'll be massacred if we support this, even in blue states.

"You're looking at a veto proof R majority, Chuck."

So, Schumer passes word to Mitch that he can't put his colleagues in danger and will go soft. He asks buddy Mitch to do same, but go first.

I'll come up with some plausible booolchit in a day or so.

Maybe its the Ds with cold feet.

Similarly, Jeffries had hopes of retaining house, but that blows up, too, resulting in 3 branches of govt, both sides of congress, and Trump in executive. A trifecta... HOLY CHIT !!! Retreat.

The blowback must have been absolutely horrendous.
The bill would have been the deathknell for America. Not that we are out of the woods.

We don’t need and shouldn’t want the old, Wall Street Journal GOP anyway.
It’s now MAGA time, which includes throwing all those stupid corrupt neocons out.

Yeh, now that they are threatening to remove Mitch from leadership. Which should have happened years ago.

Is this the Senate procedural detail that if you vote against the bill, you are allowing yourself the ability to bring it back up for consideration again at a later time, perhaps amended to improve it?

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.

That was quick. I think Oklahoma has barred Lankford forever from returning to the state. Perhaps, McConnell has a spare room in his basement he can put him up in.

That’s too bad. Nicki Haley just came out for the bill on Cavuto this afternoon. Sucks to be her.

He's 81. His term is 2021-2027. He's not worried about his job.

He signed onto the original "Save the Border Act of 2023." HR2....the House bill sitting in the Senate. He got a conscience?

If this is true....Schumer is seething.

Can’t find any truth to this at any other source.

Don’t trust either of them. They’ve just started the horse trading.


This is an election year, and the number one concern of the American people is the border and the invasion by illegals.

Why they would even attempt this bill is beyond understanding but they have to know it is a poison pill and will not pass or they may see a real insurrection.

Scumbag. He is a part of the Pelosi, Biden, Kerry, Romney, Schumer, OLD GUARD. They are nearly finished. They still have a score to settle with Iran.

DOD needs to give them an ultimatum... secure the souther boarder, repeal the DEI and wokeness, support Israel, force Ukraine to the negotiating table immediatley. In return, DOD will turn their efforts to dealing with the War Iran declared on the United States in 1979 and settle this matter once and for all.
