Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) said Friday on CNN’s “News Central” that it was “sickening” former President Donald Trump is “throwing cold water” on lawmakers border security deal.

On Truth Social, Trump posted, “I do not think we should do a Border Deal, at all, unless we get EVERYTHING needed to shut down the INVASION… Also, I have no doubt that our wonderful Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, will only make a deal that is PERFECT ON THE BORDER.”

Manchin said, “I have never been more concerned about my country than I am today. I see what’s going on which way we are heading, and it gets more toxic every day. Look at what is happening now with this border decision. The Democrats and Republicans in the Senate have worked very diligently and very hard, and having an agreement very close to being finished.”

He continued, “Now, all of a sudden, people are throwing cold water on it because of politics. This is what is sickening. It is the most dangerous thing we have, the border security right now and a lapse of border security. So we can fix that. But when you have former President Trump saying we can’t do that because let’s go ahead and blame the Democrats.”

Manchin added, “Not to fix it because of politics. It is not who we are as a country. It is not what our purpose in Washington is all about. People are sick of that.”

Border deal should be cut and dry no pork no money for anything but the shutting down of the physical border.

What fricking deal is there to be made?

It's a border. It's either secure or it's not. Secure the border or start the impeachment process. Do your fricking job!

So This is the spin to turn the border issue around.

Blame Trump when they cant pass an immigration bill.
Its his fault the border isnt fixed...

Maybe because it's not an actual deal?


Reagan thought Dems/GOPe acted in good faith back in the 80's.

And here we are today.

Do people know what’s I. The actual border deal McConnell wants?

It’s to allow 200k asylum seekers
Work permits for asylum seekers
More border patrol to process
And more state funding to house them


What the actual frick is wrong with the Senate GOP to even attempt to support that trash

So, someone who lost the last election and has no chance of winning in the general is able to shite can delicate negotiations?

Apparently they thought they struck him down and he became more powerful than they could ever believe.

Richest country on earth and we won't bother securing our border.

We care more about Ukraine than our own people.

Because, of course, the democrats are not playing politics. They are pure as driven snow. No ulterior motives or shady motivations at all.

And many Rs should be charged as well. Remember R&Ds in Washington DC are on the same team.

Has there ever been a bigger boogey man that Trump?

The current border “deal” is being scuttled because it’s not a “deal”. Illegal immigration’s cannot be cured by split making open borders legal. Its can only be cured by controlling and closing the border.

I agree, what is the debate about?

we have increased the border agents from 5k to north of 25k the last 32 years...

more agents, and we get more and more people coming because Joe "come on man" Biden ceased wall construction thus telling the world

"come to America'...

This abomination never had a chance in Hell, even in the Uniparty Senate.


But Trump came out against it, it's his fault.
