Are you going to state here, that the situation at the border isn't different than it was a year ago? We don't have meaningfully more people crossing now? Is that what you're saying?

what you see at the border is only new in your imagination Illegal immigration increased. Apprehensions at the Southwest border rose 14.7% last year compared with 2016.



I'm trying to talk to you Wayne, you make it impossible when you say nonsense like that. "The border" itself, the physical border, hasn't changed, there hasn't been an earthquake that would change the border. But the situation at the border, has changed drastically. And no one gives a sh*t if you can't accept that. America sees it, which is why Biden's numbers are tanking (but Spence says he's actually doing well, so you can ignore that too).

And if you think by me saying the border hasn't changed is somehow about its physical appearance your making thing up again ... you must think apprehension equal admission into the the Country ? what laws Has Biden changes that Trump passed ? NONE executive orders are just that.. so what's Changed on our side NOTHING .. But clearly more are trying on the mexican side..

"You left out the stock market is still breaking records"

True, and important to mention. But you would never discuss that when Trump was president. I mentioned that because you gave much praise to Trump for the markets and now crickets I did not

FYI 19 Republicans who voted in favor of the Infrastructure bill how many dems 50?

but thanks for focusing on the ONLY bill some Republicans voted on

how many Bill have they filibustered ... And republicans dare speak about the tyranny of the majority !

when it's more like GOP's tyranny of the minority

here's an example A Fox News poll released last week found that 67 percent of voters support requiring teachers and students to wear masks in schools. Even in the “reddish” state of Florida,

Gov. Ron DeSantis don’t appear to care what the majority of voters want; instead, many are singularly concerned with what keeps the GOP base happy.

The GOP is giving us a master class in the tyranny of the minority. Republicans across the nation are enacting polices on issues from Covid safeguards to restrictions on abortion and voting rights that are opposed by a solid majority of Americans — but are supported by the much smaller GOP base.

that's the real threat to America

Gibberish. You say noting changed, then say illegal crossings increased.

FACT: that infastructure bill did not pass, because the progressive democrats hijacked it. Not because of anything the GOP did.

it hasn't been voted on yet to be signed into law but hea why would know that

"how many Bill have they filibustered

Beats me. How many did the democrats fillibuster under Trump? Zero? Or do you only oppose fillibustering when the democrats are in control? like none because Mitch wouldn't bring a vote on a bill unless he knew Trump would sign it Hundreds of bills created in the House of Representatives lingered in McConnell's dead bill file! Soooooo filibuster opportunities were unavailable!
"when it's more like GOP's tyranny of the minority "

Cue the sinister music. Dun dun dun!!!

"67 percent of voters support requiring teachers and students to wear masks in schools. Even in the “reddish” state of Florida,"

But the science doesn't support little kids wearing masks in schools. So I don't care what the majority wants. Whos science jim yours

"Gov. Ron DeSantis don’t appear to care what the majority of voters want;"

That must explain why he's so unpopular there, and why everyone is fleeing FL and moving to CA instead! get a new argument thats relevant

"Republicans across the nation are enacting polices on issues from Covid safeguards to restrictions on abortion"

I don't think people elect republicans because they promised to make abortion more widespread. ya ok

We get it, you don't like republicans. But there are huge pockets of the population that embrace conservatism. and do you have a point other then they live in gerrymandered districts or in states that get 2 senators and have less populations then some Cities You need to learn to deal with it. Sometimes you get your way at election time, sometimes you don't. As Obama liked to say, "elections have consequences." yes jim elections have consequences when the republican is willing to rig the game to hold so many seats while representing only if you add up the population of states and assign half to each of their two senators, “the Democratic half of the Senate represents 41,549,808 more people than the Republican half.”

Unless there's another major crisis, the midterms are going to be a referendum on what America thinks about open borders, abortion until birth, men going to the bathroom with little girls, demonizing the police, viewing EVERYTHING through the lens of race, huge spikes in the price of gas, meaningful inflation for the first time in many many years, green new deals, druggies shooting up on the lawns of public elementary schools, China continuing to rise in power, etc. Not all of that is the fault of Democrats, but not all of covid was Trump's fault, either. Sometimes you're in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Obama got absolutely creamed in his first midterm. And Biden isn't Obama.

The Republicans don't need to do anything, just sit back and watch AOC lead the entire democratic party right off the lefty cliff.

Did "the republicans" do that? Or the founding fathers? WDMSO, that was the deal the founding fathers offered to the less-populated colonies, to get them to join the union. I'm not going to deny that lately, that's working out better for the right than for the left.

Maybe it wasn't that smart for the left to come up with an agenda that's only popular in the heavily-populated areas on the two coasts. Maybe if the left didn't have such obvious contempt for everyone who lives between the coasts, they'd do better within the electoral college. That's their fault, not the GOP's fault.
