  1. Fuck Donald Trump and any scum who chooses to support him.

  2. > Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) argued it is “immoral” for Republicans to reject a border deal to help former President Trump.

    >“I didn’t come here to have the president as a boss or a candidate as a boss. I came here to pass good, solid policy,” Tillis said Thursday, first reported by NBC News. “It is immoral for me to think you looked the other way because you think this is the linchpin for President Trump to win.”

    I expected this to article to be about Mittens Romney.

    Anyway, I’m sure team Biden is savvy enough to realize that even if this bill doesn’t make it to the floor, they can still use this fiasco in their political favor for the rest of 2024.

  3. They are helping trump and Putin! It’s clear what side the Republican party is on and it isn’t the side of the American people and Democracy!

  4. incompetent and partisan hacky come on the list above immoral

  5. This bill will serve as a litmus test on which members of the House want to support country and which ones want to support Trump. I mean everyone in the house has some brand of party loyalty but in this case the literal divide is clear.

  6. repubs modis operandi…they have no morals, well, most of them and all of MAGA

  7. Since when is the GOP concerned about making moral decisions?

  8. GOP Senator Tom Tillis said it’s ‘Immoral’ to kill border deal to help DJT…
    And what about the other members of the GOP?!
    Those without a backbone…

  9. This is all just a game to Republicans. They have the chance, right now, to fix the border… but they don’t want Biden to get the “credit” for it. Traitors, every one of them.

  10. idk, maybe letting whole families drown at the border because you hate immigrants is more immoral. That’s what you have been doing by not passing immigration reform.

  11. Has he not met his GOP colleagues? Immoral is their core value.

  12. Is anyone really surprised? This is the norm for republicans and has been since newt Gingrich.

    Sadly only democrats will believe this really happened and trumps ploy will probably work

  13. and is exactly why they will kill this in favor of orange fuckface.

  14. The Republicans don’t want to help Ukraine against Russia. That’s why the Democrats tied aid to Ukraine with an issue like border funding that is supposed to be important to the Republicans as a compromise, the Republican’s get something and the Democrats get something! As usual the Republicans welched out of the deal, now just to help trump! They would rather help trump than help secure the border and help Ukraine fight for their democracy! But the Republicans have already proven how they feel about democracy, you do remember January 6th, and the fake electors in like 7 states that are being investigated now for trying to steal the election from Biden. The Republicans were right about the voter fraud, but they didn’t tell you it was the Republicans committing it.

  15. Well, sucks that swathes of your party are wildly immoral. 

  16. Agreed. I mean getting anything passed is hard enough. Why not take any kind of help towards the issue (border) and build on that. If GOP can’t do that, it was never really a problem as big as they claim. Who’s to say it would get passed if, big if, that Trump was elected? He’d want something more extreme that both parties would be further apart on. Take the win of something to address it now over nothing and pretend to be outraged.

  17. What evidence do you have about Biden paroling illegal immigrants? I’m with you, this is a huge problem for our country, but the Republicans not cooperating with the Democrats to help fix the problems at the borders just so trump has something to beat Biden’s back in is pure bullshit and more evidence that the only thing that is important to the Republicans is getting a traitor put back into office. It doesn’t bother you that he had top secret documents that he stole from the white house when he left office and would not give them back when they gave him the chance to return them. You don’t wonder why saudia Arabia gave Jared Kushner 2 billion dollars, 6 months after he left working for the white house? He makes 25 million a year off of the 2 billion just for investing fees whether he invests anything or not. Trump doesn’t give a fuck about America, he only wants to be president so he can steal as much money as possible! Have you ever heard the old saying, you can steal more money with a briefcase and suit than you can with a mask and a gun. Trump ain’t wearing no mask, and worse he’s stealing before the Republicans eyes and they aren’t defending our country, they just want their cut!

  18. Trump could always say “the only reason the border bill passed is because I rallied the GOP”. He’s made bold claims of full credit for things he was arguably involved in before. Feels like a lack of imagination on his part

  19. Their strategy is:

    Pump us the “border crisis” story to motivate their voters and try to make Biden look bad.
    It also lets their Traitor Caucus in Congress make moves to impeach the DHS secretary.

    While Biden and DHS are busy with this border bullshit, Trump and Putins puppets make their moves to attack the 2024 election: voting machines, power grids, etc.

    Top that off with what Trump “predicted” – the 100% terrorist attack (how did he know?) and Republicans are that much closer to stealing 2024 for Trump.

  20. Republicans are literally saying fuck US… we have our own agenda.

  21. Why is Donald Trump who doesn’t hold office calling the shots on legislation?

  22. This is a bill that was almost unanimously favored by both Democrat and Republican Senators until Trump called each GOP senator and demanded that they kill it. Because, as he said, he wants Biden’s border plan to fail so Trump can win the election. He also stated that he hopes the economy crashes for the same reason. This guy hates America and Americans.

  23. Thom Tillis is scared about the November election because [the Republicans have banned abortions at 12 weeks in North Carolina](https://abcnews.go.com/US/north-carolina-12-week-abortion-ban-effect-20/story?id=100499149) which polling has shown only [23% of the North Carolina population actually supports.](https://www.charlotteobserver.com/opinion/article276434526.html) The Republicans have stripped women of their bodily autonomy and have essentially decided the state should control a woman’s body. Additionally – the leading gubernatorial candidate in North Carolina is Lt Governor Mark Robinson, who is [on the record supporting a complete ban on all abortions](https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/17/politics/kfile-mark-robinson-abortion-ban-no-exceptions/index.html) and has characterized women [who undergo abortions, even if they are just “24 hours pregnant,” as murderers.](https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/17/politics/kfile-mark-robinson-abortion-ban-no-exceptions/index.html)

  24. It’s ‘immoral’ kinda the Republican brand these days? I think he’s complimenting them.

  25. It was while Tillis was the speaker of the NC House, and his shenanigans there, that I vowed to never vote for a republican ever again. He’s pond scum, that moves only when the wind blows.

  26. Rest of GOP: “When has immoral stopped us in the past? All that matters is victory. Who is hurt or dies as a result doesn’t matter.”

  27. Then pass the bill.

    Send it to the House.

    And let the speaker answer for it.

  28. So, let me get this straight.

    The border is this horrible issue that needs to be controlled but when Biden literally says he’d use his powers in this bill to completely shutdown the border, Republicans magically don’t want to act?

    Weird how that works…

  29. Trump has them painted into a corner. Biden won’t be blamed for Republicans sabotaging a deal to toss Trump’s salad. Johnson in the House is too scared for his job to think things through, but some of the Higher Functioning Senators can see the trap.

  30. Perhaps we’re just months away from the final shouts from the Trump mindset as it circles the toilet.

  31. The maga republicans work for the orange traitor, not the American people. VOTE THEM OUT.

  32. Lucky for Tillis, Republicans don’t have any morals. That’s how he got elected.

  33. He’s not running for re-election- only reason he is saying anything anti-orange blob.

  34. Wow. Some senators have morals? I’ll believe that when I see it.

  35. But you know what? They’ll do it. Anything to benefit themselves and not their actual constituents. The whole Republican party exists to create problems they don’t actually solve and then continue to convince people that they are the only solution. That doesn’t absolve the Democrats, but right now this is 100% on the fucking Republicans
