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.
DC brain article. The GOP position is a goal post attached to a high speed train. The Democrats can’t “win” by chasing after it.
But they do love the chase.
Well it’s on the way
This draws attention to the moving goalposts.
To who, the political sickos who pay attention to this stuff or to the masses that hate US politics so much they avoid it like the plague?
To anyone who is aware it happened. At very least it will kill this specific Republican talking point.
How will it kill any talking point? The media will keep inviting GOP politicians to lie on TV.
