Why do people accept this "crisis on the border"/ "we must secure the border" bullshit?
The only crisis is the human rights abuses and concentration camps done and run by the US

The child grinding machine should be humming away quietly in the background rather than being on everyone's minds, c'mon Jack, this is basic politics
Upgrading the child grinder from diesel to electric would be better for the environment and reduce noise. You do care about the environment don't you?
Bonus, the child grinders produce carbon offsets that can be sold on the market!
Children are the best candidates for cleaning the child grinders. Their hands are small enough to really get in there between the teeth, and it gives them valuable work experience.
and they're already there standing in line next to the child grinder. so each child does a shift cleaning the grinder and them jumps into it. perfect world.
Look, we know it's not perfect, but at least the Democrats want to provide a sanitary grinder for children.
Remember how ICE's insane budget keeps rising and they're currently building the wall?
Cause libs sure don't

IOW, Dark Brandon just bent those 25 governors over a barrel if they vote against the immigration bill.
Our kindly grandpa Lord and Savior Dark Brandon (who is totally doddering and foolish and out of touch) strikes again. (Poe's Law activated. /s forgotten. So sorry)
EBIC OLD MAN
that's epic, now the republicans have to choose between doing what they wanted to do or getting what they wanted to get
masterful gambit by dark brandon
Watch tankies try to say that doing everything the republicans want without any pushback from other democrats is proof that "both sides are the same".
tankies will be tankies, they'll never recognize the genius and wisdom of the fainting goat strategy
When Biden doesn't do shit: Well look at everything ELSE he's done!
When Biden does exactly what the conservatives wanted: LMAO OWNED WHAT WILL THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT NOW????
Now the Governors have to vote on the immigration bill!
Governors don't vote on bills, huh-ha.

I'm not up to speed with the whole border policy thing aside from knowing that kids are still in cages, which is pretty much all I need to know
having said that, isn't this essentially just immediately accepting defeat to the republicans before the conflict even starts? isn't this sternly-worded statement just "okay okay, I'll do what you want, happy now?", or am I reading it wrong?
I mean he was sort of doing what they want anyway before this all started is my understanding. The whole conflict was all pretty vibes based, Biden has continued Trump's policies at the border. So he'd probably be doing what they want anyway at the border
Oh it gets even worse. This is what Biden's offering in exchange for more money for the Gaza genocide and for Ukraine. A trifecta of shit.
I will personally kick a child on the border if you give me money for genocide in gaza and war in burisma
battening down the hatches before the climate crisis really kicks off mass migration across the globe
I am 100 percent serious and not exaggerating when I say that liberals will be defending drone strikes on people attempting to cross the border within 10-15 years
"Those people should stop and think about what they're doing! Our poor dronie boys are getting PTSD because those illegals are forcing them to drop helllfire missiles on them!"
nah it'll probably by ai-driven by then, with an awesome track record of only 50% false positives
Ironic because the continent that's heating up twice as fast as everyone else is the aryan homeland of nogaspipeland
a fascist and a pussy. worst combination.
"the state governments trying to rebel against me are right actually, which is why i am authorizing the DHS to use biological warfare on immigrants"
If the only choice in politics is a between a fascist who's a coward and lacks charisma, and a fascist who's a natural entertainer and fully jokerfied, we're getting four more years of
When all that’s left is bread and circuses, of course the person who always gets voted in will be the one who’s the biggest bakery and the biggest circus
If you’re pushing away the anti-genocide and student loan burdened voters then you have to pull in the racist “independent” voters.
this is the man who wrote a eulogy for strom thurmond and expressed a desire to invent israel if it didn't exist.
Yeah, I know that, it's just sort of breathtaking to see it in real time on an issue like this--like some sort of big natural catastrophe. A hurricane of fucking sucking.
Biden really had a chance to give Texas the taste of landmines and phosphorus and wussed out. I wonder...
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I have been saying this for a long time: the Democrats are going to eat the Republican’s lunches. Racism, immigration, warmongering, support for police brutality - whatever that used to be the pillars of the Republican platform, the Democrats are doing them so much better and the libs are cheerfully clapping for “four more years!”
MAGA Republicans really only have “woke culture” and “transgenderism” to cry about these days. Their desperation is a sign of losing grounds, as was evident when their anti-abortion stunt backfired. But the smart Republicans, who want a competent leadership that passes conservative legislations but not too overt about it, are noticing what Biden has done for them.
The Democrats have been doing this kind of shit for a long time, trying to appeal to Republicans. It has never and will never work. If you're a Republican, why vote for a Democrat who does the things you want when you can vote for a Republican who does the things you want? There's no rational calculation being done by American voters. It's blue team vs red team, you will not find Republicans voting for Biden.
Biden is doing more than Trump ever did about the """"border crisis""""" and what is the Republican response? They all hate him and dozens of governors are in a standoff.
Exactly. Biden, in particular, is doing what he was doing as a senator. Being more racist than Republicans. Biden's political career had reached its apex until the First Black President picked him as his Vice President and gave "modern" cover for Biden's old time racist image.
Your average Republican voter, sure, I 100% agree with you. But I am talking about the donor class, the only class that matters when it comes to deciding what’s going on under the American democracy. Even the Republican donor class is starting to be sold on Biden being the better qualified president.
On the other hand, it is funny to see Republican boomers who wanted to hate Biden so much by blaming “inflation” on him and “predicting a Biden recession all over the last 2 years” only to see their asset wealth shot through the roof, far more than they could have imagined than under Trump. Must be a cognitive dissonant moment for them.

What are you basing this on?
edit: Worth noting that Hillary pulled in more funds than Trump did in 2016 and she still got washed

The lines are going up everywhere for the rich people. The economy is seriously doing very well if you belong to the top 1-5% in America right now. They all tried to fantasize about how Biden would screw up the economy but it never happened lol. It only made them far richer than when they were under Trump. Now, nobody wants the gravy train to stop.
The most impressive part is that Biden managed to make rich people richer while screwing poor people along the way. Biden gave them the satisfaction of being able to see poor people suffering while their numbers go up. That’s something they had wanted Trump to deliver but didn’t happen.

Which is exactly why they won’t let this happen a second time.
I should also note, money isn't being used to buy votes directly. What it gets spent on matters, and the DNC is primarily about spending that money within your circle of friends and family. If you raise twice as much money as the GOP but you spend it on your dumbshit failson consultant friends who just want to re-do the 2016 campaign strategy, well, good luck.

they're just retvrning to their dixiecrat roots. this is the limitations of having a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. neither party will ever be anything but reactionary, but they will both trade places with each other being the more reactionary party, the "bad cop" so to speak. just so everyone's wires get crossed every 60 years or so. All cops are bastards, but whenever you have two of them, one of them can play the bad cop.
Yes. All Biden needs to secure is that small margin of normal, suburban whites. Trump will be on parade and on trial for months (as the media is on him and off Biden, the polls will correct themselves), the Republicans will have to defend their routinely rejected abortion policies, the Fed will turn the money tap back on and the economy vibes will be good. Biden has already whipped every threat from the left into shape, he just needs to pursue a policy of cruelty to outsiders and he's got a comfortable W.
You know what would be cool would be if the US stopped starting wars and funding paramilitary death squads. Maybe then there would be less people fleeing their homes.
signing the Snipe Kids In The Desert bill and then immediately losing the election to the only guy who's even antsier to snipe kids in the desert
Genocide and concentration camps are non-negotiable jack, you gotta to save democracy!
