Republican Sen. James Lankford, who spent months negotiating the border provisions the GOP demanded, said he may vote against his own bill this week.

Senate Republicans on Monday signaled their plan to filibuster bipartisan legislation that paired tougher border policy with more U.S. aid to Ukraine, a stunning reversal less than 24 hours after the legislation had been unveiled.

With ex-president Donald Trump urging them to kill it, and many on the right up in arms about the proposal, top Senate Republicans emerged from a heated closed-door meeting and said they needed more time to review the agreement, suggesting that a scheduled Wednesday vote to advance the bill is all but doomed to fail.

    How are they going to keep blaming Biden for doing nothing about the border if they allow him to do something about the border?

    You guys just don’t get it.

          Don’t forget all the fake or prop washed democrats here: There is no border crisis! And if Biden agrees to do anything about it, he supports genocide!!!

          Voter apathy propaganda doing it’s work in droves on Lemmy.

      Because the fridge temp IQ followers of the GQP/MAGAzis don’t care about facts and reality, only about how they feel reality should be. Same reason they see the philandering, lying, cheating asshole is somehow the god appointed Messiah for their christo-fascist movement.
