re: MSM and Fox are melting hard this morning about this bill crashing and burning.

Why do you want the two items tied together?

Great!

Then why don’t you agree the bill should be shelved and voted on separately based on their merit?

You state that compromise is required but why would a compromise being reached be predicated on conflating two unrelated topics?

The democrats just thought they could convince the war hawk neocons to vote yes by blinding them with a huge check for Ukraine. The GOP base isn’t in support of either portion of the legislation so as soon as it saw the light of day it was DOA.

I don't. I want federal action at the border, and I don't want to see Ukraine fall to Putin.

Do you support the bill as it relates to the border?

Do you support the bill as it relates to Ukraine spending?

You can want what you just said without supporting this legislation as written.

I want to make sure I understand your position to avoid arguing past each other.
