Instead of you guys promoting sending Tomahawks to a desert on the other side of the world, why do I not see the same zeal and enthusiasm for protecting the border?

We have more than enough problems right here at home to worry about without having to play super hero in the sandbox.

I am all for closing down the border and its well documented. About 15 to 20 million illegals ago. Finish the wall, then patrol it electronically and with drones. Any breaches met with swift force and the ejection from this country of every single person caught at a breach. Migrant armies will stop coming when there is zero chance of success.


There is zero excuse for this BS. Only western liberals would be stupid and immoral enough to ever posture as if open borders were OK. Literally EVERY OTHER country in the freaking world enforces their borders and controls immigration. Only leftist filth are stupid enough as adults to actually look at a camera and call conservatives racist for wanting a border wall.

I don't disagree with much of what you're saying regarding the need for a secure border. But it's well documented that some on the right are stonewalling efforts to slow down immigration because it's such an effective wedge issue. Open your eyes, neither side intends to stop this.

Trump had 2 years with a friendly congress and didn't push any bills through to actually change things.

Did he? I remember him getting push back and lawsuits filed constantly to stop him at every move. Congress seemed to drag their feet on issues and to work against him.

If you think the Ryan led house and McConnel (lead around by the nose by McCain) was friendly then you weren't paying attention.

they weren't/aren't for border control? They don't have to 100% agree to get something done on the border.

They didn't get crap done except for the tax package simply because of their hate for Trump. Ryan, McConnel and McCain had been screeching for years about repealing Obamacare and when they finally had a POTUS that would sign it Ryan and McCain blocked the repeal, they didn't even have a plan to replace it. McCain in the one time he was honest in his life admitted he blocked it out of spite for Trump. Almost the exact same thing happened with the border wall. The 2017-2019 congress was in no way friendly to Trump and that's why a lot of them lost their seats.

willing to bet Trump didn't go out of his to try and find a compromise, or really do anything but get on twitter and b*tch.

I remember Trump willing to compromise on Obamacare, he was willing to sign about anything just to get the credit for repealing it. There was no compromise to be had with Ryan and McCain.

he wasn't willing to do the actual paper work to repeal Obamacare, which is why he got struck down in court for while, so I doubt he was willing to compromise on much.

What the hell are you talking about? I'm talking about the legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare. McCain was just not going to budge even after a hell of a lot of compromise.

How McCain tanked Obamacare repeal

Revocation of the Terrorist Designations of Ansarallah​

PRESS STATEMENT
ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE
FEBRUARY 12, 2021



Effective February 16, I am revoking the designations of Ansarallah, sometimes referred to as the Houthis, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) under the Immigration and Nationality Act and as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13224, as amended.

This decision is a recognition of the dire humanitarian situation in Yemen. We have listened to warnings from the United Nations, humanitarian groups, and bipartisan members of Congress, among others, that the designations could have a devastating impact on Yemenis’ access to basic commodities like food and fuel. The revocations are intended to ensure that relevant U.S. policies do not impede assistance to those already suffering what has been called the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. By focusing on alleviating the humanitarian situation in Yemen, we hope the Yemeni parties can also focus on engaging in dialogue.

Nope, I’m not making excuses. Trump was completely unprepared to assume office, I’ve said before that I believe he didn’t think he was going to win. He didn’t have his team of people and agenda set and ready. That however doesn’t negate the fact that the R lead house and senate were of no help and were hostile.
