Trump and The Wars on Terrorism and Immigration

[Dayton3]

Putin didn't attack Ukraine and Hamas didn't attack Israel. It's what didn't happen.

Prove it

And the opening post is complete and utter idiocy,

I stopped you there since you are already wrong. This fake immigration bill was DOA before it left the Senate, because it doesn't secure the border, stop the flood of millions of illegals, and ties the next president's hands. This turd legalizes illegals flooding into the country. That's not a border bill. The word 'border' should be stricken from the text.

Donald Trump, showed that he prefers the political chaos to a policy solution.

Republicans long have complained the loudest about the problems of illegal immigration and the need for tighter security at the U.S.-Mexico border. But they have repeatedly turned their backs on cross-party efforts to solve that and broader immigration issues, despite years of evidence that neither party alone can solve the problems and resolve competing demands and differences.

The agreement — reached by Sens. James Lankford, R-Okla., Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz. — would be the most aggressive border security and migration overhaul bill in decades if it passes Congress. It would raise the standard to get asylum, send away those who don't qualify and expedite cases for those who do.

“The Senate’s bipartisan agreement is a monumental step towards strengthening America’s national security abroad and along our borders,” Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement. “This is one of the most necessary and important pieces of legislation Congress has put forward in years to ensure America’s future prosperity and security.”

Senators unveil bipartisan bill to impose tougher asylum and border laws

The $118 billion package is the result of months of negotiations between Senate Republicans and Democrats, as well as the Biden administration. It's not clear it will pass Congress.

Whatever you say. Yep. Whatever.

Trump is known for undiplomatic diplomacy.

Yet, Hamas didn't attack Israel, and Russia didn't attack Ukraine, until Joe Biden was in the White House.

Why?

We all know the MAGA wing in the House GOP helped kill a bipartisan Immigration reform bill (one that contained what conservatives had been demanding for decades), all on the words of Mr. "Blame me" Trump. All what many see as an effort to keep the border crisis alive during an election season. Now we get the MAGA wing of the GOP being told which way to go on bills that deal with the intelligence community and the WoT.

Sad shit. America is weakened every time Mr. Trump gets to dictate to the GOP led House, on how it should vote on seriously important issues. We've elected the House members. Mr. Trump is not an elected official.

Trump and The War on Terrorism

Right-wing House Republicans on Wednesday blocked legislation to extend an expiring warrantless surveillance law that national security officials call crucial to gathering intelligence and fighting terrorism, dealing Speaker Mike Johnson a stinging defeat after former President Donald J. Trump urged lawmakers to kill the bill.

In an upset on the House floor, the measure, which would extend a section of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act known as Section 702, failed what is normally a routine procedural test. On a vote of 228 to 193, 19 House Republicans, most aligned with the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus, joined Democrats in opposing its consideration.

Such defections were once considered unthinkable but have become increasingly common as the hard right has rebelled against G.O.P. leaders.

It was unclear how Republicans would attempt to move forward.

Facts: The union that represents front-line Border Patrol agents supports the Senate immigration reform bill, saying the new authorities it gives agents to turn migrants away are a key step in the right direction.

Last October, Senate Republicans made it clear that they would not back additional aid for Ukraine without a bill that would help secure the southern border of the United States. With the blessing of both Senator Chuck Schumer, the Majority Leader, and Senator Mitch McConnell, the Minority Leader, a bipartisan team of senators began negotiations to produce a bill that enough members of both parties could accept to overwhelm objections from progressive Democrats and America First Republicans.

The team negotiated for four months to produce this bill. It took less than four days for its support among Republicans to collapse. Why?

The easiest explanation is that Republicans in both the House and Senate yielded to objections from their all-but-certain presidential nominee, former president Donald Trump. Once the House Speaker stated publicly that he would not allow the Senate bill to reach the House floor for a vote, Republican senators were unwilling to run the political risk of supporting a measure that would not become law.
