How about this slogan – Vote for someone who’s running for office, not someone who’s running from jail.
I wonder if he got a migraine from furrowing his brow so hard.
“This appalling behavior is exactly why I will continue to support him.”
Get your panties in a bunch all you want, but when you vote along with Trump 80+% of the time, guess what? You support him whether you vote for him or not.
Someone just woken Romney up and given him a newspaper?
He may find it appalling, but he sure shouldn’t find it surprising since this has been a standard GOP tactic for decades.
And no one is surprised.
Because this is what rightwing politics have boiled down to;
Hurt your opposition for a “win”
It doesn’t matter what the actual aftermath is.
Sorry Romney, but it is appalling that your fellow GOP senators even consider listening to private citizen Trump.
Republicans harm the country for political reasons. Saboteurs are traitors. Show them the door in November.
The rest of us think it is appalling that the GOP is letting somebody who is not in office make decisions for them.
Why do we care anymore about Mittens performative outrage?
He’s not gonna do anything about it.

nah man. it’s par for the course for your corrupted cabal of wannabe authoritarians. you *can* choose your friends, mitt.
Appalling?
Yes.
Surprising?
Not even slightly.
Somehow by standing completely still Romney has become a complete outlier in relation to his party.
These guys need to be recalled, impeached, and run out of town.
Kill the border bill, then blame Biden for not passing the border bill? Classic republican one dimensional chess thinking.
Voters are not that stupid, well most of them anyway.
I’d love the speech writers to put a section in the State of the Union that has Biden listing what he wants to do at the border and then say they won’t let me do it because you might give me credit. Here’s a link to all the GOP senators and represntatives phone numbers. Please call them and let them know you promise not to give me credit for it so we can try and stop the flow of fentanyl.
Name and shame.
Time for Biden to use his bully pulpit in a prime-time address to the nation. He needs to tell Americans some history and facts about the boarder problem and the details of what is in the boarder legislation. Let Americans know who/why its passage is being prevented. Message the number of Dems in Congress that support the bipartisian deal.
I have to say it’s refreshing to see Mitt say this.
That’s what you republicans do!!!
Republicans are angry because if anything actually got done, they’d have nothing to be angry about.
That’s been the Republicans M.O. last 30 years. Create messes, blame the Dems.
It’s baffling the brainwashing and idiocy of Trump people, where their “dear leader” can torpedo a bill, be the objective cause of its downfall, blame the incumbent, and the idiot lemmings eat it up.
Why is some unelected dipshit able to dictate national policy? I mean, I know the answer is “Republicans are spineless cultists”, but I still feel like the question needs to be said out loud.
So according to them there is a “border crisis” and an ‘invasion” but instead of doing anything about it now, lets wait over a year when they hope Trump will be President (he won’t)
Well the truth is that the fault doesn’t lie in him, it’s the republicans currently in office.
Trump is not currently an elected official that holds any office AND he is not guaranteed to win the election in November.
These assholes are just ensuring that they lose in November. I hope we get the house, Senate and presidency this time because they deserve it.
this is some shadow presidency bullshit right here. we didn’t vote for him yet he’s still in office apparently. and deciding what our border bills are.
What’s more appalling though, that Mitt can’t get his party to follow what is right?
He’s right. I’m glad a republican is saying so out loud. Trump also has a history of extorting military aid to Ukraine, only now congress is aiding and abetting him (and by extension, Russia).
This is because the GOP now views politics like a football game. This is just a defensive play. They have not actually cared about the country or its people for years. Trump even expressed hope for an economic crash while Biden is in office. What kind of leader openly hopes for that?
In a way, this reminds me of Reagan’s campaign and their secret agreement with Iran not to release their American hostages until after the election. The hostage story was near the top of the news every day for 444 days.
Republicans have spent years blaming Biden for doing nothing, and now they are the ones blocking a solution just to help Trump win in 2024.
It is crazy to me that after all this uproar about open borders, Republicans are perfectly fine with Trump playing politics and saying don’t fix it. How is this not the straw that breaks the camels back? Trump is arguing for open borders in the name of helping him politically.
If it is such a problem you don’t worry about politics and fix it. Not change your stance and become an open border politician because it helps you politically. You do what is right for the Country… not yourself.
If i was Haley and Biden, I’d be hammering him and republicans relentlessly with this shit.. I can’t believe this big ass misstep that firmly puts the blame of the border crisis on MAGA republicans.
Republican are “The anti American Party”
Biden needs to run HARD on this and how great his economic policies are doing.
That border deal sounds like a shit plan… they need to close down our borders.
Conservatives: We need to defend our border!! No compromises!!
Also conservatives: We will not defend our border, because a con man from Queens NY said so!!
Let’s remember that Trump is not in office, so whatever these dipshits do or not do is totally on them.
Of course everyone that is not MAGA *knows* this and we all sit and ponder why they don’t get it. They don’t want to get it. That entire base wants to punish views that are not their own. That is their entire agenda and there a ton of lazy ass politicians who just want to get rich that will gladly step up to let them vote for them.
Trump got everything he wanted day 1. Knew he could rouse populist support, did it, then campaigned for 4 more years to coalesce the different factions within the republican party. His only goal: Succeeded. He’s got his base.
Also, during those 4 years, left so much shit to the side for the next guy. And if you think that was mere negligence… you’re sorely mistaken.
It is my belief he knew he would increasingly polarize people. So, he knew he’d probably lose in 2020. Or at least he found it unlikely that it would be a blow out. He won zero popular votes in his first two elections. So the new 4 year plan is: pressure the fed to lower interest rates, get everyone gassed up on artificially low prices, cut taxes for the wealthy to the Reagan tune, and forget about literally everything else. Now everyone has a false frame of reference for pricing, further screwing the next guy (who now has to deal with the massive amount of inflation Trump caused).
Here we are, in 2024, and miraculously Biden has just about crushed every full count knuckleball. Has he been a perfect president? No. But has he lived up to our expectations? I absolutely believe so, and he did it with an absolutely incompetent and hell-raising republican led House. And dear God, the media…
Last note: Thank GOD Trump is getting older and more delusional by the day. If Trump were 60 years old, the world would be absolutely fucked.
This is a big fucking deal.
Dude, he did this at the end of his last term: time bombed the tax breaks to expire under Biden. He’s being petty and using the nation as an instrument for it.
How much control can a private citizen have over politics? A lot apparently.
Ukrainians are literally paying for this political theater in blood.
