UNFORTUNATELY, THEY WERE JOBS THAT "REAL AMERICANS" NEVER WANTED TO DO!!!
SO...GO AHEAD...I'M SURE IN YOUR INFINITE WISDOM YOU'VE ALREADY COME UP WITH YOUR OWN BRILLIANT IDEAS FOR HOW TO KEEP AMERICANS FED AND KEEP THE US ECONOMY FROM CRASHING AND BURNING!
Wow! Now, that is some spin! Terrible bill. I am no Trumper, but I am a conservative and this bill stunk. I do not care if this bill were solely written by a team of Republicans. I would still call it a stinker.
It appears that, while conservatives are able to adequately scrutinize the bills proposed by Republicans, but you can only tow the party line. You know, with the DNC talking points.
Holy shit, Ptomaine Lowrent is still around? I haven't heard her name in a while, and I was hoping she'd chosen to sail beyond the western horizon or something.
Why can’t writers and other pundits wean themselves off Twitter?! You all know it’s a cesspool of disinformation and it’s current CEO is beyond despicable. Yet, in most articles I read, there are the ubiquitous Twitter screenshots. Sad, really.
I'm old enough to remember when Obama gave them 95% of what they wanted in an "Avoid shutting down the government deal" that Grover Norquist called "the best Republicans could ever get" and they still voted it down.
The Border is an internal issue for the US of A, but to those of us on the outside, this outcome reinforces the premise that that any promises that are made by the USA cannot be relied on
I hope those who have to work on the border and the mayors being affected start screaming about these fricking, cowardly Republicans. The Trump leaning people I know are All convinced that the border is a huge issue!!! These voters are supposed to wait a YEAR to see if trump isn’t eliminated by the 14.3 Amendment and (God forbid) he wins the election - the next term doesn’t begin until after January 21, 2025. So no border deal for a year because the Republicans won’t do their fucking job.
Reminds me of the quote, “I voted FOR it, before I voted AGAINST it.” Now we’re at the “WE DEMAND ICE CREAM.” “WE NEVER WANTED ICE CREAM!” And H. L. Mencken laughs and laughs in the heaven he didn’t believe in.
I wouldn't worry for them, Faux News and Sinclair's "The News Desk" will help grease the skids and keep the populace blaming Biden. A few push polls and they'll be fine.

They are unrepentant bullies. Never vote Republican ever again.
It's quiet here tonight. Too quiet...

*its
"it's" was correct.
"it's" is the abbreviation of "it is".
"its" is equivalent to my, your, his, her.
Well, it's in line with their platform, which consists of one line: "Donald is Lord."
I'm old enough to remember when Obama gave them 95% of what they wanted in an "Avoid shutting down the government deal" that Grover Norquist called "the best Republicans could ever get" and they still voted it down.
Nothing new under the sun here.

how do they have any feet left, they shoot themselves so often?

You know, I'm startin' to think these Republican fellers ain't on the up-and-up.
Reminds me of the quote, “I voted FOR it, before I voted AGAINST it.” Now we’re at the “WE DEMAND ICE CREAM.” “WE NEVER WANTED ICE CREAM!” And H. L. Mencken laughs and laughs in the heaven he didn’t believe in.

The Republican Party has always been in favor of wide-open borders.
