He hasnât said anything about fixing it because he doesnât yet know what he wants in exchange for doing so. Iâm predicting it will be border wall funding, but I can also imagine them using this as a shakedown over the ACA (again) too.
Make no mistake, Dreamers, youâre now 800K hostages.
Like I wrote the other day, todayâs GOP is not the party of Everett Dirksen. Nosiree.
@amazedinchicago I believe he courts assholes. His PAC is trying to sell Senator Kid Rock, for Chrissakes.
McConnell does nothing until he counts. Some people count noses, other count votes, Mitch counts assholes. Itâs just who he is.
More like the Donner Party.
Bon appétit!
The GOP is incapable of passing complicated legislation of any kind as they demonstrate time and again. The simplest of legislative tasks are completely beyond them. Theyâre only skill is in obstruction.
The GOP will never consider any legislation written by the at least marginally more capable Democratic caucus.
So, Dreamers are screwed.
The decisions are made by those who so up. Everyone who refused to vote or voted third party are just as responsible for out current mess as those who voted for Trump.
In a winner take all republic not voting and protest voting are exactly the same as voting for the other side.
McConnell is a sniveling worthless corrupt scumbag who never has any intention of doing the right thing. To him, the innocent 800,000 Dreamers are nonpeople.
I believe the term is âanalgazing.â
Good one.
And his wife Elaine Chao is a real piece of work as wellâŠ$ 40 M tax deductible donation to Harvard B School (means tax payers cover 35%) and it can only be used for scholarships for Asian students who are already accepted at a high rate at Harvard while minorities are increasingly turned away and accepted at a level that is 1/20th of the population ratio. Elaine ChaoâŠone of the most racist Taiwanese in the USâŠshe hates African-Americans in particular. And here she is in the Trump administration as Transportation Secretary after being Labor Sec. for Bush. Funny how Democrats totally fail to expose her and Mitch.
But her emailsâŠ
Mitch fails to mention the only reason Obama took action was because he couldnât get McConnell of Boner to do anythingâŠand so he stepped up and did the right thing for the immigrant children now adults in the US and for the nation.
Mitch was saved as kid when he had polio by a Government program to find a cure.
Paul Ryan was saved by a Government program as kid and teenagerâŠhis dad dies when he was young and his mom and family were saved by social security disability benefits. SS benefits that Ryan now wants to cut.
What turns these white Republican men into such complete animals? It is time soicety start treating them like animals and cage them.
Mitch and Trump are both members of the foreign wives club - looks like they could bond a little. If there are any doubts about whether Melania was ever âillegalâ letâs investigate it and get the truth out. Trump rode the birtherism horse a long time - he deserves the same level of scrutiny and fairness he was willing to give to Obama. And by the way, Obamaâs wife was born in America - unlike McConnellâs wife, unlike Trumpâs wife, unlike Trumpâs mother.
Of course McConnell wonât do anything⊠he loves this - destroying 800,000 lives makes him a happy happy person, just like Trump! And, Sessions?
Sessions is swooning with the thrill of destroying these kidsâŠ
These are vile, hideous human beings. JustâŠ
Dreamers are screwed until 2019 at least and more likely 2021. The only thing the GOP knows how to pass is tax cuts and regulation cuts. There is no way the GOP Congress is going to propose any comprehensive immigration reform without a rightwing Christmas satchel of goodies and a border wall.
A clean bill to make DACA permanent could easily obtain backing from a majority of the Senate. All or almost all Democrats would vote for it and I can think of at least four Republicans all but certain to do so: Graham (who introduced such a bill in January, co-sponsored by Dick Durbin), Flake, Heller and Collins. Rubio would probably throw in, too. Would McTurtle let such a bill come to the floor? Depends on how much pressure can be put on him.
There are noises about a lawsuit. Since these young people came forward and told the government who they were, gave them all their identification, some are saying their due process has been violated.
Thanks, that clarifies the meme.
But still, government or nor, someone else paid because his family couldnât afford to. So it was charity, something he spits on todayâŠas long as itâs government âcharityâ.
Makes him only slightly less of a dickhead.
Itâs really an âexcessive expectationâ to think the Republicans in Congress would do their jobs, let alone doing the right and humane thing.
One thing you can always say about Mitch McConnell: He never thinks about the power or politics of an issue â only about doing whatâs right for the people of this great land.
Yep. You can always say that about Mitch McConnell. And, whenever you do, you can rest assured that whoeverâs reading it will laugh their ass off.
