The G.O.P. abandoned a bipartisan border security bill that also aided Ukraine after Democrats called their bluff on immigration, agreeing to tough measures Republicans demanded.
But Democrats tripped them up by offering substantial — almost unheard-of — concessions on immigration policy without insisting on much in return. Now it is Republicans who are rapidly abandoning a compromise that gave them much of what they wanted, leaving aid to Ukraine in deep jeopardy, border policy in turmoil and Congress again flailing as multiple crises at home and abroad go without attention because of a legislative stalemate.
Wait, dems don’t ask for anything when conceding to right-wing bullshit? Wait, repubs don’t actually want the things they say they want? Repubs don’t actually want to govern?
Call me surprised.
You are correct, but the dipshits in the comments have the exact same attitude as Democrats… They think getting punched in the gut instead of the face is a win when not getting punched at all is ABSOLUTELY an option for someone who actually has balls…
The bill might not have passed, but it has successfully moved the Democrats to the right. “Meet us in the middle!” cries the Republican, and the Democrat steps forward, and the Republican back… “Meet me in the middle!” Every. Time. Fucking dumb Democrats.
Democrats are the party of boiling frogs.
