The effort to pass the Senate’s Uniparty Border Bill collapsed Tuesday after Republicans backed away from the package, effectively punting on the issue until after November and infuriating communists/globalists in the process.
This from thehill.com.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (C/G-NY) had planned to bring the $118 billion supplemental to the floor today.
But top Senate Republicans said they would block the chamber from beginning to consider the bill, with more than half the conference declaring their outright opposition.
Senate Minority Leader Turtle McConnell (RINO-KY), making an obtuse understatement, said during his weekly press conference:
It looks to me, and most of our members, we have no real chance here to make a law.
The reaction of the GOP conference had come in swiftly after the text of the bill was released Sunday evening. Republicans derided the process used to write the bill and heaped criticism on provisions they claimed would allow 5,000 migrants into the country each day.
[A] talking point Lankford and his fellow negotiators vehemently refuted but struggled to counter.
That quick condemnation, in turn, angered communists/globalists who were unable to hide their disdain for how the previous two days unfolded.
They argued Republicans had misled them after insisting on linking the border to aid for Ukraine back in October.
But they were too quick to forget Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Sunday declared the Senate border bill “dead on arrival” in the House.
President Trump had spent weeks urging Republicans in Congress to kill any action on the border until after the election.
Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), the No. 3 member of leadership, said in opposition to the border bill:
Americans will turn to the upcoming election to end the border crisis.
Senate GOP leaders and others in the conference are failing to heap sufficient blame and indignation on Lankford. Some even expressing “he is widely considered a thoughtful member with strong conservative credentials.”
Yah, right. Liberals and RINOs only giving praise to the turncoat, Lankford.
Senate Republicans argued there were reasons besides Trump’s opposition for the collapse of the bill, including timing, the bundling of initiatives into the bill, and the White House being slow to get involved.
Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) told The Hill:
It was doomed to fail once we passed Christmas.
If you would have done this before Christmas, I think the process would have been very different.
Of course, Joe-Joe Biden disparaged Republicans and Trump for the lack of legislative action.
He stated from his peacock thrown:
All indications are this bill won’t even move forward to the Senate floor. Why? A simple reason: Donald Trump.
Because Donald Trump thinks it’s bad for him politically. He’d rather weaponize this issue than actually solve it.
May that foolishness put smiles on the faces of We the People. FJB!!
The nuking of the border bill now gladly spells an uncertain future for other parts of the emergency supplemental request too, including funding for Ukraine and Israel.
Senate Republicans said they did not discuss how they could possibly move aid for Ukraine in the coming weeks and months during their weekly luncheon Tuesday.
Senate communists/globalists are all handwringing over the thought of their money laundering scheme having come to an end.
Further, they have indicated:
[T]hey were taken aback by the sheer speed and relentlessness of the GOP opposition and signaled that they are likely ‘at their wits end’ on border discussions.
Leftists “at their wit’s end”—we Conservatives know this to be their natural state of being.
Final thoughts: Good news. A bad solution to a problem is not a solution. And trusting liberals to effectively solve any problem is fools’ play.
