Seriously, why doesn't the GOP just say:

"No money for highways until the border is fixed."

Why?

Literally, just two months ago, the House GOP was saying that they wouldn't pass Ukraine aid unless they also got new laws that would help fix the border. That's how border security and Ukraine got linked in the first place. Have all of y'all already stuffed that down the memory hole? Good grief! Even on simple stuff, people rewrite history so quickly and then make believe that it's true.

Exactly, and at the time I thought it was a good move; however, I was wrong.

We never should have done that.

That’s not really accurate. Unfortunately funding for Ukraine, the border and Israel have all been tied together where there is no hope of success so they may as well send congress on vacation. This is not all Trump’s fault as the popular sentiment seems to be. I often wonder if Biden hadn’t been doing shady dealings with Burisma with his coke head son if he would have lifted a finger at all on 2/24/22 when Russia attacked. But you have the border issue that the Republicans want fixed but the Democrats want a “welcome, come on in!” sign put on it because they see future votes. Then you have Ukraine where i believe a lot of people on both sides want to help but they won’t sacrifice their other wants to see that done. Then you’ve got Israel which is the one not being talked about. The Republicans want to support them but Biden doesn’t and is being controlled by the squad and his radical left pieces of shite that willingly come out and support Palestine over Israel and even got the idiot old man to say Israel went too far on prime time TV for his pitiful national address. So this is all one big cluster frick that i don’t see being resolved anytime soon but it’s not one side’s fault or the other. Both have their wants but there is no real negotiating going on here. It’s just a stalemate. As far as Ukraine in Avdiivka, if they seriously waste some of their best forces like the 47th Mechanized and 3rd Assault and end up getting a lot of their best men killed or captured with equipment being captured or destroyed then I’m not sure what can be done for them anyway. It’s been beyond time to get them out of that place that doesn’t even exist anymore. Set as many claymores, anti-armor mines and boobytraps as you can to kill as many of the dumbfrick Russians when they come in and get the frick out and fall back to a more defensible line. Instead they seem to be just holding that pocket with their best troops putting them at risk. Yes they supplied Mariupol for a long time but then the Azov Brigade had to surrender. That shouldn’t happen to any Ukrainian units in shithole Avdiivka.

Excellent reminder.

Any bill on the border is basically a non starter with the Democrats. Biden needs all
the support he can get from his own party, even if it’s from the crazy ones like AOC, Ilhan Omar, etc because even the lib media can’t cover his absolute obvious lack of cognitive ability to hold the highest office in the world. Hell Biden even sold materials already bought by the Trump administration that had yet to be constructed for pennies on the dollar just to get it out of there so he can stick out his chest and say blame Trump, basically the only phrase I think he’s capable of saying anymore. When they feed him his oatmeal in the morning and makes sure he goes poopy I think they rehearse the same 2 words with him. Mr. President all you need to say is “blame Trump”.

So what? You use the bill to frame the issue.
You use it to demonstrate that your party is about public safety and preserving our public institutions.

If we can’t show the American voters that the Dems are allowing the country to decay then shame on us.

Show America a real difference on s as n issue that’s easy to understand.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) provides life-saving food, safe drinking water, emergency medical care, critical nutrition services, improved hygiene and sanitation conditions, psychosocial services and other support for vulnerable children, as well as essential household supplies for families who were forced to flee violence and leave everything behind.

The United States will provide more than $116 million in additional humanitarian assistance to support vulnerable populations in Burma, Bangladesh, and the region, including more than $74 million to support Rohingya refugees and their host communities. With this new funding, the United States’ total assistance for those affected by the crisis in Burma, Bangladesh, and the region totals more than $2.2 billion since August 2017, when over 740,000 Rohingya fled genocide, crimes against humanity, and ethnic cleansing in Burma’s Rakhine State for safety in Bangladesh.

The United States, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), is providing an additional $50 million in humanitarian assistance for emergency food and nutrition assistance in Burma, where increased displacements, armed conflict, and growing food insecurity are compounding existing needs. According to the United Nations’s recently released Humanitarian Needs Overview, more than 17 million people across Burma, almost one in three, are now in need of humanitarian assistance in 2023, compared to less than one million in 2020.

Better yet, no "continuing resolutions" until the border is fixed. A government not doing one of its most important jobs, is not worth keeping open.
