No, the problem is precisely the shite deal that Lankford negotiated. And it's a problem that McConnell won't just say that. I mean hell, just be honest with us the one time, Mitch. Is that too much to ask?
Heck, of course it is... he's a politician after all.

The Firm™? will likely back out of the deal without admitting that it was a mistake to:
(1) negotiate the bill in secret, hiding details from senators for literally months, &
(2) ignore input along the way from the Senate GOP.
Avoidable.
Foreseeable.
Reckless.
Imperious.

If this is the best deal Lankford could negotiate, I need him to represent the OKC Thunder when the Pelicans try to swing a trade for all their young talent.

Is it us and our bill that's bad? No, no - it's the American people who are wrong!

It's exactly the deal he wanted to negotiate. Typical GOPe... give the dems exactly what they want and call it a day... that way we look like we are team players.

I don't hesitate in being critical of Trump when I think he has failed and won't hesitate in giving him credit when it's warranted. I think one of the big reasons this shitty bill flamed out is because of Trump.
Good job, DT -
Former President Trump on Monday railed against the bipartisan border agreement and took aim at Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), a key negotiator, for his role in brokering the deal.
In an interview on “The Dan Bongino Show,” Trump denied endorsing Lankford’s candidacy in 2022 — despite doing so publicly — and did not rule out endorsing a primary opponent when Lankford is up for reelection in 2028.
“I think this is a very bad bill for his career, especially in Oklahoma,” Trump said about Lankford when asked whether he would back a primary challenge to the senator.

Still waiting for @DanCrenshawTX to educate us all on how the Senate Ukraine Money bill secures the border.

I’m being somewhat sarcastic.
If this was his “best” negotiation, he was incompetent.
If this was his intention, he probably doesn’t want to go home to Oklahoma anytime soon.

Lankford’s biggest mistake was placing any discretion on the Biden Administration. He knows you can’t trust Biden to do anything, here, and everyone knows it. It’s like negotiating with terrorists, wtf was he thinking; what a damn naive boyscout…

Lankford screwed over the country with this deal. McConnell and every other republican would has called him out on are 100% correct for doing so. I am one of the biggest supporters of Ukraine and Israel, but I also strongly believe Senate and House republicans need to tell the democrats that if they want money for Ukraine and Israel the Senate needs to pass HR2 and have Biden sign it into law or allow it to become law without his signature and then they will get their Ukraine and Israel money.

How the frick did that guy get elected to the US Senate?

He DID hang the country out to dry… but I’m sure he did so because Cocaine Turtle and others told him that it would work and he would get some kind of payoff for doing it.
I hope the other GOP senators see what happens when you are no longer useful to the turtle.

Mitch is a bitch. He's playing games and screwing the American people.
He stuck his gnarly old finger in the air and said woops, time to crawfish.

Sad thing is that he's not up until 2028, and by then, the voters of Oklahoma will likely have forgotten about this.

You don’t come back from something like this if you are in a state as red as Oklahoma.

Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, the lead Democratic negotiator for the bill, said, “I think this country is crying out for the parties to stop fighting over immigration and just get something done that’s going to better control the border and fix our broken immigration system.”
What we’re crying for should be a simple fix: for Joe to just shut the fricking thing down with a stroke of the pen. It’s no more complicated than that.
They truly think we’re that stupid.
This right here ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The laws are on the damn books as far as illegal immigrants.
We don't need more laws on paper, we need to enforce the laws we already have that this illegitimate clown in the WH has ignored for 3+ years.
The repubicans should be screaming this at every opportunity. The fact that they are not speaks volumes.

No, the mood hasn't changed in many years on this issue. Repeatedly, year after year, people have been angry about this. The DC Insurgent Class is profoundly out of touch.
Schumer was born in 1950. Went to Harvard (what a surprise) and was in politics by 1975 and has never left. Half a century of an adult life, and he's not spent one day in the regular world. These douchebags have no idea what America is like or who the American people are. McConnell has also been there forever.

The mood changed?!? Really?!? Tell us, Mitch, when was the mood of the country OK with letting millions upon millions of ILLEGAL ALIENS into this country, along with terrorists, deadly drugs and human trafficking?
That SOB can't leave the Senate soon enough. He and Schumer are EVERYTHING that is wrong in DC.
