        I think it’s important to point out that this vote only failed because they basically pulled a guy out of a hospital bed to vote no

        The failure came about because of the surprise appearance in the chamber of Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), who showed up unexpectedly — having recently had surgery and wearing hospital scrubs and no socks, according to NBC — to vote against the bill.

        So not exactly a stunning rebuke of the wackos.

          Somewhat ironically Republicans will likely be pulling a different guy out of a hospital bed (Steve Scalise, getting chemo) to counter this one and vote on it again.

          And they’re hoping another vote will pass once another rep gets out of his hospital bed. There seems to be a common theme here.

    Republicans had accused Mayorkas of “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law,” claiming he violated immigration laws by failing to detain a sufficient number of migrants.

    They were sad that he did not lock up enough brown people.

        Nope. Apprehensions are also at their highest so it is quite possible that CBP is getting a higher percentage that are coming over the border.

            Yep. You’ve been able to see shit like RWDS (Right Wing Death Squad) patches and ‘Free Helicopter Rides’ at conservative events for years now.

    Imagine doing this wasted political gesture to a bunch of fucking moron Republican voters and their cult leader instead of preparing a vote for a bill which you’ve won a shit ton of concessions from the democrats and can crow about on the campaign trail over the summer and fall.

    What a bunch of fucking idiots.

      Well they passed the border bill, securing our borders and providing much needed support for Ukraine all while forcing the Dems to give up nearly everything they stand for… Oh wait, that deal is basically dead now because it would help Biden.

      What a load of fucking morons.
