“How we stop it?”

With a sheet of paper with ink on it:

Article 44 - Denunciation [getting out from under the Refugee Convention]
1. Any Contracting State may denounce this Convention at any time by a notification addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
2. Such denunciation shall take effect for the Contracting State concerned one year from the date upon which it is received by the Secretary-General of the United Nations....

Rinse and repeat. This always happens if Republican win the WH after a disaster from the outgoing Dems. Clinton, Obama and Biden all blamed the former admin.

Shut it down. Functioning govt is destroying the country. Just take a month or two off. It will help focus on what is essential. Then just do that, afterward.

Hope he and the rest of the conservative Republicans hold tight and not cave. Nothing short of shutting the revolving door at the southern border should be accepted.

Speaker Johnson is being too polite in his wording.

In plain-speak, the rats keep moving the bar in budget negotiations. They keep adding stuff that was never before mentioned. The rats are purposely trying to shut the government down because they want to keep the border open.

The guy must be ‘dense’.

Biden is not going to change his border policy for any reason whatsoever. So the guy is just posturing for the ‘conservative crowd’, and he knows it. But worse, the ‘conservative crowd’ eats it up.

Putin loves the gift the guy is giving him; Xi is all smiles, seeing the Taiwan will get no aid; Israel is being pushed into positions it should not have to make. And in Ukraine, a whole lot of people are dying that should not have to.

All of that is being aided by because people like Biden, Newsom, and A. Shift are on the take from Chinese criminal gangs and drug manufactures.
