Again so soon? Well, okay...
- What else can be said that would actually to add to the conversation after this? I can think of nothing. Good day sir.
  
  I think it's important to point out that this vote only failed because they basically pulled a guy out of a hospital bed to vote no
  
  The failure came about because of the surprise appearance in the chamber of Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), who showed up unexpectedly — having recently had surgery and wearing hospital scrubs and no socks, according to NBC — to vote against the bill.
  
  So not exactly a stunning rebuke of the wackos.

  Yet you still commented.
- You really did need to bookmark that link.
  
  I know, right?
- Can you imagine how rich Frakes would be if he got paid a penny anytime someone posted this?
Republicans had accused Mayorkas of “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law,” claiming he violated immigration laws by failing to detain a sufficient number of migrants.

They were sad that he did not lock up enough brown people.
- was there some sort of quota in the law?
  
  edit: /s
  
  Nope. Apprehensions are also at their highest so it is quite possible that CBP is getting a higher percentage that are coming over the border.
- Shoot brown people. They want the border patrol to shoot them.
  
  Recently they want to throw them out of helicopters like Pinochet. Really, look it up.
Imagine doing this wasted political gesture to a bunch of fucking moron Republican voters and their cult leader instead of preparing a vote for a bill which you've won a shit ton of concessions from the democrats and can crow about on the campaign trail over the summer and fall.

What a bunch of fucking idiots.
I'm MUCH happier my tax dollars was used for THAT instead of FEEDING STARVING AMERICAN CHILDREN!
Fucking clown car.
You love to see it.
What has the House of Taxpayer Leeches accomplished this term?
- Well they passed the border bill, securing our borders and providing much needed support for Ukraine all while forcing the Dems to give up nearly everything they stand for.... Oh wait, that deal is basically dead now because it would help Biden.
  
  What a load of fucking morons.
We fucked up this one and we’ll fuck up again, promises MTG.
Gang of Pitiful.
Republicans also accused him of “breach of public trust.”
