5 New Bad Faith GOP Attacks Against Biden On Border Surge

At this point, GOP attacks are “bad faith” by default, just like all their “negotiating” for legislation they are never going to vote for.

I have frequently stated that pwning the libs is all they’ve got. I forgot entirely about shitting on brown people. I apologize for the oversight, and will be sure to correct it going forward.

And how much media attention are these nimrods getting, consistently and relentlessly repeating these lies with the complete support of the MSM, with no equal and opposing fact check or correction?

If this is all the American people hear, how does the truth get out with the media complicit in the constant repetition of the lies?

What is new here? Did anyone expect these GOP’ers to praise Biden? Did anyone think they wouldn’t use hyperbole, lies and projection in ANY discussion of Biden’s policies?

Folks have been crossing that border since its first day in existence. All administrations have made efforts to control that. The difference between them is what efforts they chose. Trump enjoyed hurting the immigrants. They had no way to fight back. Biden is not that kind of guy. That is all that is different.

I need a personal injury lawyer. I’m going to sue the GQP for damaging my eyes with the constant eye rolling they prompt.

Ignore them and pass HR1. These tactics won’t work if they can’t suppress the vote enough to give racist and bigots more voting power.

I believe they are being ignored among their colleagues. I strongly hope that HR1 passes.

I firmly believe that if someone dug into how these waves of migration start, there’s a pile of Republican money being funneled to Central America to instigate them.

In summary, regooplicans are accusing, railing, misleadingly jabbing, nonsensically saying, and throwing under the bus, because that’s what they do.

Let me know when they have a policy for which they can make a rational argument based on facts.

Oh right, and projecting.

Came here just to say that, myself. You beat me to it. But,yes, you’re 100% correct, at this point, if it weren’t for bad faith, the GQP would be totally faithless.

TPM headline:

Where Things Stand: GOP Hints At Impeachment To Suggest Biden Must Finish Trump’s Wall

They’re wanting to impeach because Biden hasn’t spent money on the border wall that Congress appropriated for it.

I think Congress, that is, Republicans, lost the right to require the Executive Branch to spend money where Congress wants it to go when Trump declared state of emergency and started directing money from other sources into building the wall, and Congress, that is, Republicans, didn’t challenge it. I said at the time that this was a mistake , allowing the president to decide where he wants to spend money whenever.

Now, all Biden has to do is declare a state of emergency, say, “because of the deficit,” and say he’s going to use that wall money to cover part of the deficit. Make Republicans defend that. They can’t, because they’re ok with the president declaring an emergency and spending money however he pleases, and because they’ll have to defend increasing the deficit.
