lulz

Oh Please Vacate.

 

[toobfreak]

Sorry, watching live. Right now 216-214 for nay. Proceedings are continuing.

Yep, first Rhona McDaniel mishandled the RNC so badly that the GOP barely gained in a midterm election in '22 they should have KILLED in giving them only a slim margin, then they stupidly impeached one of their own for minor offenses that no democrat would have done to theirs making their margin even thinner. And now we have the RINO factor of idiots not wanting to "rile up" the democrats by impeaching them even for grievous lapses in duty.

So they are doing to rehold the impeachment vote next week when Rep. Scalise can come back from dealing with personal health issues.

Thank god McDaniel has been fired. McConnell must be next. Maybe soon the GOP will start functioning like a competent party.

OK, if true, then tell me....Does that make any sense to you at all?

To me it's as fucked-up as a football bat.

Is a triggered shut down at 5000 encounters better than 10,000 to unlimited a day encounters crossing in a caravan as we had the last 30 days?

why cut off your nose to spite your face?

and this is just a tiny tiny part of the bill, which is a strong bill...

If Rs ever win the Whitehouse, they can make it stronger then.

There was no "Dereliction of Duty" on the SecHomeland.

That is the biggest pile of hor$e$hit I've heard around here in quite some time.

The dereliction is that the ReNaziKlans for failing to the non-partisan border bill

Bull$hit... the Biden Administration created this open-border mess and has had three years to enforce existing law.

Existing law contains everything that the Administration needed to get the job done, and they've failed to execute the law.

You're not fooling anyone outside your own base, and...

The more Illegal Aliens that Texas shoves down the throats of northern Blue Cities the more of your own base drops away.

that has been endoresed by the Border Patrol Union that endorsed P01135809 in 2016.

Union leadership is not the same as the rank-and-file nowadays.

One need look no further than rank-and-file supporting the GOP nominee despite leadership endorsement of Old JJoe.

Border Patrol rank-and-file want a REAL and profound solution... not some limp-wristed half-hearted Dem compromise.

The Biden Administration has had three years to deal with this...

But now that Blue Sanctuary Cities are getting swamped-under in an election year... NOW it's all and suddenly an emergency?

No Sale.

Dems can rot and stew in a situation of their own making now until the righteous anger of The People send them packing.

Your failure to act responsibly at the border over the past three years now becomes the 13,000-pound Elephant in the room.

Your arrogant dereliction of duty has consequences... you will understand on the morning of November 6, 2024... enjoy...

No.

Failure to uphold your oath to the Constitution, yes.

Gross and profound and pervasive failure to enforce the laws of the United States constitutes a failure to defend it, yes?

But I don't believe there is anything about border protection in the Constitution, and it's not black and white as to whether people coming into the country is a violation of anything.

The Constitution gave Congress the power to craft laws. And we have statutes on the books for all that.

Gross and profound and pervasive failure to enforce laws crafted under such Constitutional power should "count".

Especially for a country that promoted "Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses".

That was then.

This is now.

When the Statue of Liberty was erected we were a nation of 40,000,000 souls, with land and jobs for all who wanted to come.

Today we are nation of 300,000,000 souls, all the land has been parceled out, and we cannot employ nor feed our own.

If we cannot find what talent and labor we need from amongst our own 300,000,000, then we don't need it.

We don't need a single additional soul added to the collective.

Not one.

It's time to hang a "No Vacancy" sign on the Statue of Liberty and declare a lengthy moratorium on ALL immigration.

And if that means abrogating an international treaty or a portion thereof in order to remove any legal barrier, then so be it.

 

[rightwinger]

You can't be impeached for dereliction of duty and gross negligence? Failure to enforce the law can also be a violation, yes?

High Crimes and Misdemeanors

If incompetence was grounds for impeachment, no Republican would hold office

I said this same thing about the Democrats when they first impeached Trump. There is a zero chance of him being convicted in the Senate so neither party is acting competent here.

We have problems galore (just as we did when the Democrats did it) and this is the crap they see as important.

Not that the Democrats didn't pretty much ask for the tit for tat. How can people still support all of this?

 

[JoeB131]

Congrats Democrats, you are truly the champion for illegal immigrants!

Immigrants are coming whether you want them to or not. Learn to deal.

 

[JoeB131]

Why can't we use thoughts and prayers to protect the border? It's what we use to protect our schools.

Oooh, Burn.

Not incompetence.

Dereliction of duty.

Intentional failure to enforce existing law.

 

[JoeB131]

Where did I mention race? Most of these Hispanics are Caucasian!

No, they are actually of mixed race, combining European, Native American and African, because they never had the segregation laws we had.

it's why Hispanics are often confused at census time when they have to pick first Hispanic and then which "race' they are.

 

[JoeB131]

Not incompetence.

Dereliction of duty.

Intentional failure to enforce existing law.

Actually, the laws are being adhered to, that's the problem.

The law says ANY foreigner can present himself at a point of entry and declare his desire for asylum.

And we have to give him or her a hearing.

The problem is we never really had enough people to process these claims, and the guidance is pretty obscure. This is why you have that idiot German family who claim asylum for 17 years because they are paying a fine for homeschooling their kids.

 

[rightwinger]

Not incompetence.

Dereliction of duty.

Intentional failure to enforce existing law.

Has any President enforced border laws to the letter in the last 60 years?

 

[Desperado]

A 216 to 214 vote?

Think about how warped and damaged your rationality is right now. You just said that. About those vote numbers.

Think about the artificial handicap on your thought process that causes you to make these bizarre leaps at the slightest sound or change in the wind.

I mean it, take some time, think about it.

Doesn't matter what the numbers are..... just shows that the GIOP cannot come together and get anything done.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Smart move by the GOP. Now they are free to focus on the impeachment of Biden. LMAO.

 

[rightwinger]

Once again, Republicans shoot themselves in the foot

Mostly because they are more concerned with retribution, petty grievances and blocking social issues

Their biggest obstacle to getting things done is a total unwillingness to engage in bipartisan legislation

Dont forget Hunter Biden

That is the biggest pile of hor$e$hit I've heard around here in quite some time.

Your bullshit level is rising. First the only Dereliction of Duty is on the part of Kremlin Krew in Congress (the ReNaziKlan Party).

The Kremlin Krew had four year under Pooty's Butt Boy to pass this bill, and they failed. This is very bill they wanted to pass when they controlled both the House and the Senate and fucking failed to do so.

The very same Border Patrol Union that endorsed the Rapist and Traitor P01135809 wants this bill passed. They might know about border security than you do.

This legislation provides more money for more Border Patrol Agents and gives those agents a much needed pay raise. It provides money for more immgration judges. Money for technology upgrades is in this bill.

The only reason the Kremlin Krew will kill this bill is because Pooty's Butt Boy, the Rapist and Traitor P01135809 wants to blame Mr. Biden for border.

You talk shit how long Mr. Biden had to fix the problems at the border, news flash fuck stick, Pooty's Butt Boy had four fucking years to fix the border. This is same bill that a ReNaziKlan controlled House and Senate never passed. P01135809 had a ReNaziKlan kontrolled House and Senate and never got this bill passed. Blaming Biden won't work, when the Kremlin Krew is doing the bidding their Orange Shit Gibbon.

Keep your bullshit lies to yourself. The ReNaziKlan Party had four years to act on border security and fucking failed to do so. They had a ReNaziKlan president and they did NOT pass this bill.

They failed. You lie and I for ain't buying your lie because of your Orange Shit Gibbon's failure to pass border legislation!

Obviously horrible policy, in a quickly growing economy with a labor shortage.
