Danc they have a bill for more money for border security. T rump told the GOP not to approved it because he wants to run on it and blame Biden. Sen Romney came on TV Saying this was terrible, will the GOP GOVERN OR OBEY TRUMPYou posted a link that confirms exactly what I said.
The Senate is trying to pass a bill on the border + Ukraine. It's a hefty lift to get through the Senate, as the right flank is opposed. But it could probably get 60 votes...
The House isn't doing shit other then saying such a bill is "dead on arrival".
There is no chance of any legislation on either Ukraine or border security passing this Congress.
“Scalise’s chief got up and the first thing he said was, ‘This border bill, if you send it to us, is dead on arrival. Dead.’ He said, ‘I just want to be clear about that, we will not take it up, we will not vote on it. It is dead. End of discussion,’” said a Senate Republican source familiar with the comments at the meeting.
“So that sent a message,” the source said.
GOP looks for Plan B on Ukraine with border bill looking DOA
GOP supporters of aid to Ukraine are beginning to look for a Plan B as they come to grips with the reality that Senate legislation to boost border security and deal with a host of foreign crises is…thehill.com
3 Americans soldiers killed and 25 wounded in Jordan

Sounds like they should agree to enforce the border then.
Unless they're willing to cut off funding for Ukraine.
It's not about money - it's about enforcement. Biden can do with Executive Orders what Trump did and greatly reduce the number of illegals.
Then why don't they pass it and let the House do what they do?
Where's the courage of their convictions?
Twenty said the House had no input. They do.

Oh good grief. Are you really this clueless? You cannot move legislation in the Senate due to the cloture/filibuster rule if you don't have 60 votes.
Yes a bill only needs a simple majority to actually pass.... But you cannot GET to the final passage vote without 60 votes to end debate and actually get to a vote.
This is common knowledge.

Cori, AOC, Rashida, and Omar gonna be big mad.
You said you needed 60 to pass. Just trying to educate you.
Who is filibustering? I haven't heard of anyone doing it - have you?
Damien.everyone got balls once the feckless fool took office. hopefully this time next year the ME will be under the stewardship of a real leader
There is no bill to filibuster, so of course you haven't heard anything. They are negotiating to get a bill that will have at least 60. Do you really think no one would filibuster once a bill is written?
Twenty is right again. Your stubborn nature in this case only serves to make you look like an idiot.
no gop,he told them not to because he wants to run border security against Biden. What a crock.,none of the gop has the balls to go against trump
No, he knows exactly what he's doing. He's doing his usual gotchya hair-splitting pedantic shitposting that does nothing but generate potshots back and forth. You're being trolled. Don't take the bait.
He's trolling. And he's good at it. It's best to not acknowledge or respond.
Oh my. You have just taken the derision on this board to a new level.
Reports are that a drone operated by Iranian proxy forces was mistaken for a U.S.-operated drone.
I’m not sure if this is the official report
I'll believe it when I see it. This moron is broadcasting his plans to his enemies.
Willy, I bet you’re really proud of that vote for Joe because he’s doing great things.
James Lankford has been censured by the Oklahoma GOP for NEGOTIATING with the Democrats on a border bill. NEGOTIATING.
Republican senator censured by Oklahoma GOP for negotiating with Democrats on fragile border deal
The Oklahoma GOP approved a resolution censuring Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., for allegedly “playing fast and loose” with Democrats over border policy.

We have now reached the stage where Republicans will openly punish members who talk to Democrats.
That should give the targets plenty of time to hide their equipment and themselves.
It makes you wonder if this retaliation is nothing but a PR stunt. Retaliation may be the wrong term
You both really think announcing retaliation is giving away strategy? So, did we give away our plans to strike back against Japan by declaring war? Suddenly they knew to prepare for a fight, they never would have expected it otherwise?
Frankly, waiting is strategically good. They know an attack is coming, they are on alert for it. But one can only stay on maximum alert for so long, then mental fatigue steps in and mistakes happen. It is why our naval vessels were not on high alert every second they were in the Pacific during WW2. Let them wait, get tired, screw up
