    Why do people accept this "crisis on the border"/ "we must secure the border" bullshit?

    The only crisis is the human rights abuses and concentration camps done and run by the US

    I'm not up to speed with the whole border policy thing aside from knowing that kids are still in cages, which is pretty much all I need to know

    having said that, isn't this essentially just immediately accepting defeat to the republicans before the conflict even starts? isn't this sternly-worded statement just "okay okay, I'll do what you want, happy now?", or am I reading it wrong?

      I mean he was sort of doing what they want anyway before this all started is my understanding. The whole conflict was all pretty vibes based, Biden has continued Trump's policies at the border. So he'd probably be doing what they want anyway at the border

      Oh it gets even worse. This is what Biden's offering in exchange for more money for the Gaza genocide and for Ukraine. A trifecta of shit.

    IOW, Dark Brandon just bent those 25 governors over a barrel if they vote against the immigration bill.

    Our kindly grandpa Lord and Savior Dark Brandon (who is totally doddering and foolish and out of touch) strikes again. (Poe's Law activated. /s forgotten. So sorry)

      If the only choice in politics is a between a fascist who's a coward and lacks charisma, and a fascist who's a natural entertainer and fully jokerfied, we're getting four more years of tromp

    If you’re pushing away the anti-genocide and student loan burdened voters then you have to pull in the racist “independent” voters.

        Yeah, I know that, it's just sort of breathtaking to see it in real time on an issue like this--like some sort of big natural catastrophe. A hurricane of fucking sucking.
