The cowering republicans

As stated, they would rather whine about it than solve it.

 

That's because they don't want an immigration bill. A bipartisan immigration bill gets shot down by Republicans every time. They only want a border wall because it drums up votes

 

Same thing with health care ... Republicans have proven they are more interested in complaining and dividing people, but have no ideas (or desire) to fix things. Trump failed to build his wall and have Mexico pay for it ... has he provided any new ideas?

 

I suspect that no matter what is presented, it will be shot down. Trump doesn't want any Biden "victories" even if it is good for the US. Because he isn't about what's good for the US. If the Democrats were smart, Biden would institute more stringent policy on border security AND Senate Democrats would approve the compromised bill, without Ukraine funding, and place it firmly on the House Republicans. THEN campaign with that. But Democrats have shown to be not so good at politics so....

 

I don't disagree with funding the Ukraine defense, but I'm not a fan of smorgasbord bills. I think anything worth doing should be passed or not passed on its own merits.

 

I think we all would like to see that but we know is not possible because Congress is incompetent

 

…and corrupt!

 

OTOH, there are things the current GOP is proud to admit

 

Idiocracy unfolding in front of our very eyes

 

I thought the term " neoCON' meant something else entirely.

 

Add Republican House Speaker Johnson to the list of people who want to complain, but not do anything about it...

Pretty sure it on to “shoot them” stage.

 

Maga puts their Dear Leader above what is best for the country.

 

The States don’t appear to be cowering …

We can easily draw a through-line from the Yellow Vests to the Canadian Truckers to the Dutch Farmers to Danielle Smith to the situation on the Texas border, which is clearly spiraling out of control but in a very good way.

Boebert lied about her arrest record at that debate.

 

Don’t understand how anyone can have a debate on an immigration bill that nobody, other than select few, have seen a single sentence of text.

 

seems binary. Not opposed to helping Ukrainians with some weopons, but your second sentence loses me. Telling me our European allies in total are unable to defend themselves or Ukraine against a stalled Russian ground campaign that has WWII level air cover. Do the pols, Italians, Spanish, French, Brits, Germans not have ability to fund and support this without us ? Not saying US may or may not may have a role but jees. If the euros are so afraid of Russian expansion why aren’t they all in with their own aid to Ukraine yesterday?

 

Is your question should the US be leader of the free world or not? Curious, how do you answer?
