Great post about McCarthy's quote. The expectation that the Biden admin would fulfill its obligations under this law is an exercise in child's play. They have no intention at all of slowing down this tidal wave.

It is a huge problem across the pond too.

In England a marauder who twice was denied asylum ;only to eventually get it on appeal , doused a woman and her 2 children with chemicals . When asked about it ;so called conservative MP Caroline Nokes diverted from the central question and commented that this is the type of "microaggression" that women routinely face.

Not quite . Women are not normally subject to acid attacks .

Something is happening I think the spineless Senate Repubs got the message from their constituents and are now threatening to block the bill .

In a dramatic turnaround, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell recommended to GOP senators in a closed-door meeting that they vote against the first procedural vote Wednesday, according to two people familiar with the meeting who were not authorized to talk publicly about it and spoke anonymously.

I read a bunch of the reports from the compliant press and it appears the deep state's mouthpiece's biggest concern is the $$$$$$$$$$$ to Ukraine .

I'm beginning to think we did both ourselves and Ukraine a great disservice by giving them the impression they could prevail in this fight. They have shown no real capacity for being able to retake the lands they initially lost, and the damage to their country continues unabated. We can't solve everyone's problems.

And given the losses Russia suffered ,it would be fool hearty to think they can conquer all of Ukraine. In other words the territory that was in dispute has already been taken by Russia . All this could've been settled before the bombs fell.

But the US orchestrated the 2014 coup called the Maidan Revolution that led to the civil war in Ukraine that same year .
On top of that ;Russia has been alarmed at NATO expansion 2008 GW pressed NATO to admit Ukraine and Georgia into the alliance. The April 2008 NATO communique stated that year eventually the 2 nations would be admitted .

August of 2008 Russia invaded Georgia to protect ethnic Russia areas of South Ossetia and Abkhazia

Ukraine entry was a red line we knew Russia had drawn . So we persuaded the actor turned President to play hard line about talks . Even today he insists he will only accept a settlement where no Ukraine territory is lost .

Defense Sec for both GW and the emperor ;Robert M Gates wrote in his memoir '
Duty' that “trying to bring Georgia and Ukraine into NATO was truly overreaching ;a case of “recklessly ignoring what the Russians considered their own vital national interests.”

The dysfunctional House Repubs failed to impeach DHS Sec Mayorkas yesterday 4 Repubs crossed the aisle to kill the deal.

Reps. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin, Ken Buck of Colorado, and Tom McClintock of California all voted against the impeachment. Rep. Blake Moore of Utah switched his vote at the last minute to "no" so that the chamber can bring it up again. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise missed the vote. He has been away from Washington for treatment for multiple myeloma.

Again that red wave; that didn't happen because Trump unintentionally sabotaged it ; rears it's ugly head . The Repubs may as well not have a majority at all if they can be held hostage by a small group of defectors .

Meanwhile in NY Guv Hochul asked DA Alvin Bragg why the illegals who gang beat the NYC police officers were allowed to go free. His lame excuse was that there was not enough evidence to hold them despite the fact that there was a video that captured the whole beat down. His real reason is that he is too busy trying to get Trump.

House Repubs impeached Mayorkas . It will die in the Senate . Expect the Dems to play tit-for tat with Trump cabinet members if he even becomes Prez again .

MAGA truckers are threatening to descend on NYC to protest the Trump decision. NY groceries have typically no more than a 2 day supply in stock .
