Here is the key part the whole article is about:
“Senator, is this deal dead, effectively?” Fox News’s Laura Ingraham asked Hawley Thursday evening.
“I hope so,” Hawley said. “It should be. If it’s not dead yet it should be dead. There is absolutely no reason to agree to policies that would further enable Joe Biden.”

You’d destroy multiple industries that result on exploiting illegal migrants, and low cost labor from those with green cards. Hospitality, sanitation, meat packing, construction, agriculture, etc all would come up floaters
The whiplash from average Americans would be incredible. We’ve priced in domestic exploitation into several industries, and US consumers have come to demand it, and more.
Fuck em.
so what I’m hearing is that America doesn’t run on Dunkin’, it runs on exploitation
oh my
See the problem is that I like cheap produce. The companies can afford to sell cheap produce and pay better though they won’t. So they abuse this type of labor.
The problem isn’t that you like cheap produce.
The problem is that corporations profit off of the exploitation. Your price could remain the same if the company was willing to accept less profit.
They would still be rich. Just not as rich.
And that’s a problem with almost every company in existence.
Maybe we need profit caps put into law.
That kind of system existed in post-WWII USA, when a high school graduate could work full time to afford a house while being the single income for a big family.
We called it ‘taxes’.
That’s a great way to enable fascists like ICE who’d just exploit such policies to throw Hispanic people into concentration camps. They’ve been doing it since Obama. True facts, look it up
They’ve been doing it since FDR.
I don’t think ICE has been around since FDR.
There’s been a federal agency with the tasking since the 1940’s. So yeah not ICE specifically.
ICE literally does that and people lose their fucking minds.
No they don’t. They deport the guy working for his family and fine the employer. Imagine the opposite situation where working illegally was a fine and employing illegal workers was losing your business license.
That’s how they punish underage drinking. It’s a massive issue for bars, and a small issue for the kid. Consequently, no bars serve underage kids. It works.
You see, we don’t want to actually do anything about the border, we just want to yell about it. — Rs
Republicans for the last four years and more:
Technically they don’t give a shit, mostly. They just want their voters to be mad.
Republicans since, at the very latest, Obama took office.
They’d rather one of their own - preferably tiny d - was sitting on a throne of swords and the country in utter shambles than actually provide proper stewardship of this country and be out of power or have to compromise with the normal Americans in this country.
Could it be because they’re not genuinely interested in governing? I’m not gonna read the article because I already know the answer. Fuck the GOP.
Could it be because they’re not genuinely interested in governing?
The Border Crisis is predicated on US Senators shrugging their shoulders and insisting there’s nothing to be done. This helps defer more power to the courts (where they were more than eager to govern by stacking the bench with far-right white nationalists) and to the border states (where guys like Abbot can poke a drowned kid with a stick under a giant “Mission Accomplished” banner to look tough on crime).
As soon as Trump is back in the White House, you can guarantee they’ll produce all sorts of sadistic legislative reforms that they can ram through a flimsy Democrat opposition.
Of course. Hawley is a traitorous coward.
Republicans would rather tank the country than pass good law under a Democratic president.
And they have on more than one occasion. It blows my mind that anyone could think of them as the fiscally responsible party. Then again, they also pretend to be the party of morality, so that all tracks.
They are fiscally conservative in name only.
This just happened in my state when Democrats wanted to provide breakfast and lunch for students. A Republican said “But we can hire more teachers!”
Someone asked, “So you would support a bill using this money to hire more teachers?”
You can imagine his response.
These assholes use these excuses to get in the news and get in sound bites. They should never be trusted by themselves.
They are fiscally conservative in name only.
Just look at the deficit/surplus numbers, by party. It’s plain as day.
The party of fiscal responsibility loves to crow about irresponsible spending until they’re the ones doing it.
If the Dems agreed to a Republican law, the Republicans would probably filibuster their own law.
That is what happened here. Republicans came to the table and said “we will give you Ukraine aid if we get a border deal”. Biden undercut progressives and started making offers that Republicans wanted for Ukraine aid and to put his name on the border deal. So Republicans took their ball and went home.
The GOP in general seem to be very ineffective civil servants.
Their purpose is to destroy the government. They have repeatedly said this since the 1980’s.
Can we stop being surprised?
Because they are complete shitstains?
They are so weak. There was bipartisanship until Trumpler criticized the bill. The GOP has no spine.
Honestly if the RNC had just put its foot down in 2016 and said “no, we will not be associated with Trump because the man is a fucking idiot” they would have eaten the loss in 2016, but would probably be in a much better place electorally now.
They needed to stop the tea party in 2010. This is all follow on from that.
come on in everybody. let’s all bitch and moan about the shitty conservative republicans while never discussing what to do about it. it’s like group therapy for limp-wristed liberals.
you are so right, we should all be a little more rational, and say… decapitate a family member on youtube.
edit: because someone in this thread is unironically using words like “sheeple” and “limp-wristed” I should clarify that my comment is obvious sarcasm.that dude was an unhinged idiot and accomplished nothing for his cause. he’s a portrait of a fragile mind that lashes out irrationally. if you want change, you get smart, tactical, and clandestine.
So clandestine assassinations. Got it.
lol wtf are you supposed to do about it, try to smuggle a bomb into the RNC? attempt to assassinate conservative politicians? or do you think you can just “democracy” your way to getting rid of this cancer? the first two sound like something that’d backfire in plenty of ways, and the last one is a laughable suggestion at this point.

idk man. i guess you can just be a hopeless apathetic do-nothing that gets ground up by capitalism and leaves a hellscape dystopia for future generations to inherit.
edit: aw look, the liberal pansies are downvoting me because they can’t deal with the reality of the situation. sorry cucks, evil wins when good people do nothing.
Is crying about fake Internet points a part of the strategy? Or is that just a personal prerogative?
is being an obnoxious douche yours?

I can’t imagine why people aren’t going out and commiting crimes at your behest.
it’s not me. they’re just weak.
Vote them out? What the fuck do you think we should do? I propose eating them but people call me extreme.
Is it legally possible to recall all of Congress and Senate and demand all new representatives?
The US doesn’t have dissolution of congress, no
Can we get a site that isn’t serving full page malware clicks?
I mean, just use uBlock like a normal person. All these news sites are crawling with pop-ups and fly-in ads, now that the industry’s revenue stream is predicated on getting confused elderly patrons to accidentally purchase a sybian.
