No shit, Sherlock.
The GOP old guard only appeals to reason when theyâre trying to rein in the Tea Party from acting against GOP interests.

Iâm sure I disagree with this guy on just about any point of policy, but I will give him credit for recognizing that the idea of a working federal government is not anathema. Not the first time heâs come out in support of the idea of Congress actually passing workable laws.

The truth is Obama already has the authority to summarily return all adults, family units, criminals and gang members as they are
not covered by the 2008 law, not refugees, not victims of
trafficking and not entitled to asylum. The UACs are allowed
lawyers and hearings. But once again, the propaganda, the
complicity of the MSM, and the stupidity of the GOP are allowing
the Machiavellian stunt of Obama/Jarrett to succeed. For those
who want real immigration reform, Obamaâs open borders with
EBT cards is NOT the way to achieve it. But as some of us
know, he wants a fight not a solution. He has announced to
the world that the doors are open and the laws will not be
enforced. This will not end well. Dumping illegals across the
country in secrecy is justifiably inciting maximum opposition.
The American people deserve better.

Obama is obeying the law that the kids are entitled to immigration hearings. He needs funding to do that expeditiously, and the Republicans wonât give it to him.

The Brown!!! The brown are everywhere, like Chickenman or Captain America! The brown in the White house is letting more browns in. Make it stop. Less brown means MORE white.
The GOP wakes from the feverish dream of the brown invasion and may be found curled in a corner sucking their thumb covered with their blankie.

âyou canât say on the one hand that the Presidentâs overreaching by acting without legislative authority and direction, and then refuse to give him legislative authority and direction in another area,â
- Rep. Cole (R-OK)
But that statement doesnât get it anywhere near right.
One relevant formulation of the dilemma could be,
âWE canât say on the one hand that the Presidentâs overreaching by acting without legislative authority and direction, and then INVITE him TO EXERCISE A CLEARLY FAR GREATER DEGREE OF EXECUTIVE INITIATIVE THAT EVEN MORE CLEARLY IMPINGES ON legislative authority and direction in another areaâ.
Supposedly, Cole is a âstraight shooterâ and ârealistâ in the Republican Caucus - at least, thatâs his pose. Itâs a way to gain broader power by seeming to stand out from the crowd as some kind of non-partisan âadultâ authority figure.
But that assumes the âcrowdâ is bipartisanly crazy. In fact, itâs distinctly characterized by the majority side being paralyzed by most of its members spending most of their precious resources in time and effort (beyond fund-raising) in pro-actively pandering to or otherwise embracing racial bigotry, jingoism, denialism, religious bullshit, inhumanity, sexism, illogic, nihilism, homophobia, gunism, gold-buggery and willful ignorance.
Instead of making a discernible effort to accurately capture this problem, what Cole does is fire a shot in the air, as if everyone involved is acting childish and not just his own side, then attempt to restate the actual nature of the dilemma into something that canât be attacked by partisans of any stripe by virtue of it being utterly opaque.
Among the reasons itâs opaque and so unassailable by partisans is that itâs WRONG. Since it goes straight to the heart of Coleâs job, what he does every day, and Coleâs âadult poseâ, the act he presents in Washington D.C., it has to be regarded as deliberate fraud.

#Obummer Pro Tip # 83,427,655: Using a phrase like âthe Machiavellian stunt of Obama/Jarrettâ gives away your agenda, to wit: your bias slip is showing, WAY too much, for gawdâs sake cover yourself.
Besides baselessly and needlessly standing for the proposition that itâs not Obama whoâs responsible for Obamaâs âwillful tyrannyâ, but one of his advisor/minders as puppet master, thereby kinda wrecking that entire âwillful tyrantâ thing youâre going for, it betrays a basic misunderstanding of what âMachiavellianâ means, since Machiavelli wrote his opus from the perspective of advisor to/agent of/manipulator for his master, The Prince.
Corollary: You donât seem very good at this âonline trollâ thing. It could be that, while itâs certainly arguable that youâre correct in concluding that one side has the intellectual capacity of a wet sock, youâve unfortunately mixed up which side that is.

You have a very over-active fantasy life.
See if someone can introduce you to reality.
Itâs clear from your comment history that you two have never met.
