True that. And I suppose some minor nonsense is being blocked. But what major Dem initiatives are the Republicans blocking? Spending is wildly out of control. The southern border is wide open. Etc.

The border being open is the executive's decision to unlawfully abuse the asylum system to allow every illegal immigrant to apply for asylum. No law passed by Congress or funding or not-funding can change that. Any change to immigration laws is impossible at the moment.

The only Constitutional remedy is impeachment of Mayorkas, Biden, or both. Those are politically impossible.

The other option is states declare an invasion and start deporting them themselves. They would have to defy Federal courts to do that, face a cutoff of Federal funds by the regime, or even a clash with Federal law enforcement. There are no politicians with the cojones to risk that.

Basically, regarding the border we're screwed unless Trump wins.

As far as the Dems go, if they get control of the House they will pass a bill to ban Trump as a supposed insurrectionary. That's to start. Next is amnesty and citizenship for the +25 million illegals. Even more spending. New election laws designed to hamstring Republicans, etc.

We are inches away from a one-party dictatorship as it is: Dem control of the House could make that an accomplished fact.
