At least Johnson has said the deal is DOA in the House. A purge in the Senate is long overdue for wishy-washy R's. Theyve proven many times over that often they cant be counted on.
there really aren't wishy washy R's. There is a giant split in the republican party and has been for about 8 years now. You have the MAGA Trump republicans (which dominate the House) and you have the old school McConnel republicans that think the MAGA's are too radical. The two sides generally agree in principle, its just that the MAGA side always push it a little farther than the McConnel side can go along with. The MAGA side seem to refuse to negotiate and compromise anything. The McConnel side still try to govern like the old days where you had to negotiate and compromise because once this deal is done another will come along and you can't burn every bridge every time.CHEEZY17 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 10:59 amAt least Johnson has said the deal is DOA in the House.

Thats where you have to give the Dems credit: Generally speaking, they stick together and fight for what they believe- as wrong as it may be.
https://www.semafor.com/article/02/06/2 ... -collapsesThe Senate’s bipartisan border bill is kaput, and Mitch McConnell isn’t being coy about who’s responsible for the whole bizarre debacle.
“It was my side that wanted to tackle the border issue. We started it,” the Republican minority leader told reporters Tuesday. And, of course, it was Republicans who finished it.
After demanding major changes to border policy as the price for more aid to Ukraine, GOP lawmakers backpedaled from the compromise measure amid a Trump-led conservative backlash. Even Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., who last week slammed his colleagues for not having the “courage” to cross Trump, said he was a “no” vote.
The deal’s demise has left the GOP’s handful of bipartisan dealmakers sounding dazed. The bill’s lead GOP negotiator, Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., told reporters he felt as if he’d been hit by a bus that also backed up over him. A “deeply disappointed” Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah quipped, “Politics used to be the art of the possible. Now it’s the art of the impossible.”
As for the mood among Democrats? “How can you trust any Republican right now?” said Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., his party’s point man on the deal. “They told us what to do. We followed their instructions to the letter and then they pulled the rug out from under us in 24 hours.”

Republicans have been accusing the Biden administration of doing nothing about the so-called "border crisis". Yet when they were given essentially what they wanted, they turned into little children and refused it. Republicans do not want to govern, they want to rule.
"One senior Republican was blunt. “I’m pretty confident we can do better with a new president who actually will enforce the law,” Sen. John Cornyn, R-Tx., told reporters."
So there ya go. No compromise unless it only makes your side look good. But fuck running the country for the good of the people who live in it.
A country of proud independent people wish to cast off the rule of aggressors and oppressors, and are actually on the cusp of winning their war. You'd think as a country founded on that very principle would be more understanding and supportive.
Our support cant be limitless. Its entirely possible to wish the Ukrainians success while prioritizing real problems here at home. Isnt our border more important than Ukraine's?QillerDaemon wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2024 2:25 amA country of proud independent people wish to cast off the rule of aggressors and oppressors, and are actually on the cusp of winning their war.

Interesting thought: not one single country that came out of the embers of two world wars has accepted our republican form of government. Why do you think that is?
