| He is blocking action on immigration. Despite claiming it's an emergency, he is totally willing to ensure that the emergency persists if it means political gain for himself. |
He’s more powerful unelected than the elected President of the United States, then. |
More like “look how cowardly the GOP is” that the man they refused to deal with is still telling them to jump - and they’re doing it. |

Trump University scammed Veterans.
Farmers hate him because of his polices. They made an increase in the amount of 148% more bankruptcies. Plus who is going to pick the food deporations day one? No labor for farmers Florida Farmers are really upset. Chinese tariffs bad people very bad. Texas border people who live near Eagles Pass are so mad. I don't blame them. They hate Trump. |
| Biden sent his son to Iraq. Trump sends his kids to collect their trust funds. |

Another reason I hate him is he’s ruined so many families. I think it would be interesting to research this. I bet he’s torn more families apart since the civil war.
If you’re white and have 3+ siblings it’s likely that one is estranged due to Trumpism. This is true for almost every friend who falls into this category. I can think of 8 families off the top of my head. |
Plus one - the depths of cynical hypocrisy are beyond belief …. |
Not hypothetical at all he said he wants credit for standing in the way of a horrible bill. He is totally honest and transparent. |
Yes the bill is not effective and just gives cover th the democrats who need to pay for what they have done to r the country in November. Trump is much better at tactics than the compromised and stupid Rinos |
Yeah right Vlad. Illegal immigration has tripled since Putin focussed massive misinformation campaign in vulnerable communities in central and South America and even provided Russian human smugglers. He weaponized illegal immigration on south border just as he did in Europe by bombing innocent Syrian civilians and driving them into Western a Europe. Illegal immigration has been a complex problem for decades but Putin weaponized illegal immigration. Trump did a mediocre job in running the economy and it is growing much faster under Biden. Women are furious about republicans taking away their basic human reproductive rights and have rejected many Republican candidates since Roe V Wade was overturned. Trump knows the only real talking point he has is illegal immigration. He blocked strong compromise bill to give himself a better shot at the presidency not because he thought the bill was bad. He has no scruples or regard for human life or rule of law. |
Putin is on the record as saying the Kremlin will do whatever it has to help get their guy The Donald re-elected . He meant it. Since 2020 Russian agents have focussed on increasing illegal immigration from southern border in unprecedented numbers - just as they did in Western Europe and Finland . Trump is still taking orders from the Kremlin and blocking aid to Ukraine and immigration reforms. There is a reason why Trump and Tucker are lauded as heroes in Russia. They have been fully bought. |
Finnish officials say the sudden surge in asylum-seekers is no coincidence. They accuse Russia of driving the migrants to the border to sow discord as payback for Finland's membership in NATO. Here is a look at the migration challenge playing out along parts of Finland's 830-mile (1,340-kilometer) border with Russia.Nov 25, 2023 https://apnews.com/article/finland-russia-migrants-border-nato-eu-0e1ba68a783e3aa392539074c4dc39e1#:~:text=Finnish%20officials%20say%20the%20sudden,%2Dkilometer)%20border%20with%20Russia. Even the conservative Heritage Foundation is worried about Russia’s cynical weaponization of illegal immigrants Russia’s Weaponization of Migrants Hasn’t Gone Away Nov 18, 2022 Another facet of Russia’s hybrid war against the West is its cynical use of migrants from Africa, Central Asia and the Middle East to destabilize Europe. Russia’s hybrid warfare with human pawns also rages along the borders between the Russian proxy state of Belarus and Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. Russia’s and Belarus’ continued use of human pawns as weapons to pressure and probe Europe is despicable. Unfortunately, it looks like it’s here to stay. https://www.heritage.org/global-politics/commentary/russias-weaponization-migrants-hasnt-gone-away Entrepreneurial newcomers Russian-speaking migrant smugglers on the US southern border https://globalinitiative.net/analysis/russian-migrant-smugglers-us-southern-border/ Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted thousands of Russians to flee their country for fear of political persecution. Migration flows from Central Asia, particularly Uzbekistan, have also surged. Many seek refuge in the US, facilitated by Russian- and Uzbek-speaking smuggling networks operating in Turkey, Central America and Mexico. El Paso Sector warns migrants not to be led by misinformation https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/local-media-release/el-paso-sector-warns-migrants-not-be-led-misinformation Release Date Fri, 12/15/2023 El Paso Sector landon.r.hutchens@cbp.dhs.gov EL PASO, Texas – U.S. Border Patrol El Paso Sector is warning migrants not to listen to misinformation being circulated by transnational criminal organizations about entering the United States illegally between the ports of entry. In recent weeks, the misinformation led migrants to believe that the international BSI 36 marker is a proper point of entry into United States. Rumors circulating on social media that areas between the ports of entry on the southwest border – BSI 36 in the El Paso Sector – are open to illegal migration are patently false. Migrant surge is being fueled by pseudo-legitimate travel agencies connecting migrants to smugglers, CBP official says By Rosa Flores, Sara Weisfeldt and Priscilla Alvarez, CNN Updated 11:48 AM EST, Wed December 20, 2023 CNN — The migrant surge overwhelming US-Mexico border authorities is being driven by pseudo-legitimate travel agencies and organized transportation networks that are advertising travel to the US southern border and ultimately connecting migrants to smugglers, according to a US Customs and Border Protection official. Those smugglers are facilitating the illegal crossings of 500 to 1,000 people at a time, the official said. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/12/20/us/migrant-surge-travel-agencies-smugglers/index.html |
That's a serious problem in a democracy, given that he is exerting that power even though he is an individual who holds no political (elected or appointed) or other public office at this time, and therefore cannot be removed from that role unless GOP elected officials stop listening to him. (Nonetheless, there are things only a President can do) |
Why would James Lankford, one of the most conservative senators, work so hard on this bill if that's all it would do? |
Trump cultists will say that it's because he hates Trump and, therefore, America and the Republican Party. |
