    Since when do Republicans care about hypocrisy? Mitch might be acting as the voice of reason today, but he was the one who refused to let Obama’s last SC pick even have a vote, because he knew it would pass, while rushing Trump’s last pick through before the election.

      You’ll never explain that to a moderate…

      Their ideology stopped making sense decades ago, so by now the supporters who are left can’t be rational.

      If they were, they wouldn’t be “moderates”. And their identity is wrapped up in that, so they can’t. No matter what a Republican or a progressive says should be done, the modern moderate will declare both are bad and the obvious choice is halfway between them.

      The man purposefully sending the fed to cut razer wire at dangerous points; that Texas already had the OK to keep up and so put them back up … And Biden has now caused just about twenty seven other state governors to back Texas in defending itself against illegals … Isn’t interested in a damn actual deal.

      That ““DEAL”” Your Democrats want is solely to fund Ukraine and Israel and, ‘diminishes’ The entry of illegals down to 5,000 a day. There’s no compromise here and it is why the Republicans won’t take it.

      You lot are severely delusional if you think Biden and least of all the Democratic party, want any sort of actual deal. The hypocrisy lies with the left.

          They’re kinda proving the point that the GOP reps can get away with the massive hypocrisy, though.

            Yeah the republican voter base is so comically and painfully stupid that it quite literally does not matter what happens, the democrats will be bad.

            Even if Biden actually “shuts down” the border, they’ll still be mad and still hate him

              Their only logic is if a democrat does it it’s bad.

              There’s a bunch of them on the far left too. Biden isn’t seizing the means of production therefore he’s a genocidal warlord.

              Critical thinking skills have basically been ignored in K-12 education and it’s really showing.

        This is incorrect

        The supreme court, the one that just overturned Roe v. Wade? That one. Told Texas, that they could not have the razor wire in the water.

        That ““DEAL”” Your Democrats want is solely to fund Ukraine and Israel and, ‘diminishes’ The entry of illegals down to 5,000 a day. There’s no compromise here and it is why the Republicans won’t take it.

        What compromise do Republicans want? I say a 50% cut in immigration and giving agents more tools is an improvement to our old system.

          Does it bother you that white supremacists would agree?

            Unless we are going to go purge style on nazis?

            Right.

            Well if we aren’t up for that, we might as well work together to address common issues.

            Mainly that asylum seekers are traveling to get to America to find a broken system. We can blame on each other, and finger point, but this system broken because of a lack of compromise.

            And it isn’t like we can’t just twist the nobs of power to allow more immigrants later on once we have more stable footing, a wider majority, and a better designed immigration system.

            What’s your point? It’s called compromise. Obviously we’re not going to completely lock the border down to 0 immigration, and obviously we’re not going to dissolve the border tomorrow. So you try to work out a deal making the most people happy while minimizing downsides.

            Does it bother you that white supremacists would agree? What’s your solution to the issue?

        It’s too early to start dunking on idiots so I’ll just point and laugh. Hey everyone, look at the dumb little idiot dancing the way OAN told them to. This clown thinks we’re democrats and like Joe Biden.
