If any more evidence were needed, here’s proof that the Republican Party is rotten to the core.
Of course they can now blame the democrats since it is unlikely (it damn well better not happen at least) that any bill with funding for the wall will pass the senate
They didn’t accept the lie - they condoned it. Poor choice of words for headline.
House GOP Leaders Accept That Trump is Powerless
Now that is a headline that I would really love to see.
So, he was powerless until suddenly he’s not? Now it’s possible for him to issue an executive order after telling us for a week that he was powerless to do so? So he was lying when he said it was the Democrat’s fault and only the Democrats voting for the wall could end it? So he’s lying? I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!
…and yet the Orange Buffoon is unable to help himself from shaming the cowards, so now he’s talking executive order. Why does ANYONE try to coddle this fool???
I read the statement from CMR. Cathy, as she calls herself in her billboards, thinks trump should stop. She would be happy to stop him, in exchange for a wall.
Cathy, who parades her son with Down syndrome as proof she has compassion, is trying to have it both ways, and in the meantime, children suffer.
I would have written “swallowed.”
House Republican leadership on Wednesday silently accepted the Trump administration’s lie that the President is powerless to end his own policy of separating immigrant families at the border, letting Trump off the hook for a policy that has split up dozens of families per day with little apparent pre-planning for how to reunite those families as they are processed through criminal and civil courts.
“The administration says it wants Congress to act, and we are,” House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) said at a press conference Wednesday, after claiming House Republicans were opposed to “breaking families apart.”
“I do not believe that the government should be separating families and children at the border,” Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) said.
I think this is the first media article I’ve read in my entire life which points out that silence is assent (maybe I have but have forgotten them).
We need MOAR of that.
Kudos to @matt_shuham!
The standard GOP position on anything Donnie spits up…
Too late sewer rats. Republican Trump has just admitted publically
by his large manically narcissistic signature rescinding, “I can do nothing
about it” his alone child separation policy, he is a “Bolded Faced”
continuing pathological proven serial liar. Republican Geo. Bush’s
“Katrina failure” was failure to sufficiently act about a storm
created by nature. Republican Donald Trump’s monumental failure is about a
storm he alone created, lied about it, cowardly backed down on when confronted,
and as yet has no solution to solve and reunite the children. And the whole big
lie is all about the new phony Republican self-created crisis celeb to take our
eye off the Mueller ball, “illegal immigration”, that has been on the decline
for 20 years. Trump’s very thought process to separate children from their
parents, which his people cheered, requires a mental health evaluation. Just
how immoral, naïve, gullible and ignorant are Republican Trumpsters’? Now even the
silent enabling Republican Party has had to weakly protest the separation policy
and its author to cynically attempt to save themselves.
