Republicans tapped him to negotiate a landmark deal on the southern border. Then they tore him apart.

  1. Is it possible they’re just bad at governing and maybe shouldn’t be doing it?

  2. It is a Trump tactic to stab your partner in the back. It makes life easy and you do not have to share as much.

  3. Hey, the Leopards ate his face: Sen. Lankford (R-OK) knew what he was doing these last 8 years, fully.

  4. “I had a popular commentator, four weeks ago that I talked to, that told me flat out… if you try to move a bill that solves the border crisis during this presidential year, I will do whatever I can to destroy you,” Lankford said on the Senate floor Wednesday. “By the way, they have been faithful to their promise.”

    Did he really not see this coming? If he really spent his holidays negotiating this bill he is delusional. What a waste of his Christmas.

  5. This is so disheartening. The United States of America is being held hostage by a carnival barker. A con man under four indictments with ninety-one charges, who couldn’t pass an 8th grade civics exam. How is half of America under this man’s spell? Ridiculous.

  6. On you mean maga gop used and threw one of their own under the bus? Who could have seen that coming!? /s

  7. “Sometimes I hurt for (Lankford) because I know he’s working as hard as he can,” Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., told USA TODAY last week.

    She said “there were stirrings” of concern before Trump weighed in, “so maybe he hit a vulnerable chord within the conference.” She argued that the proposal would codify some of Trump’s own policies, making it harder for Biden or other presidents to pull them.

    “I think it would be a victory for Trump policies, but he’s obviously not buying what I’m selling, I guess,” she said last week. She ultimately voted against the proposal after getting “overwhelming feedback” from her constituents.

    “Overwhelming feedback” from tRump more than likely. Spineless “Christians”.

  8. McConnell’s fault ultimately but Lankford is responsible for not seeking help outside of McConnell when it became clears he was in over his head.

  9. He can always vote with democrats, they won’t stop him.

  10. If it wasn’t for trump and it being election year, he would be their hero!

  11. “There is nothing you have which I cannot take away”

  12. I don’t understand how you can vote red at this point.

  13. Probably their plan all along, he was just their latest blood sacrifice.

  14. Because Republicans = traitors, traitors to the country, traitors to each other, just fucking traitors.

  15. I heard from the leopards that his face is delicious.

  16. This is wild, I mean Senator Lankford is a card carrying standard issue Republican. I would say the main deviation is that he’s actually competent at passing legislation. They set Lankford off to do this task, he spent hours in meetings hammering out this deal with Democrats and others. Subsequently managed to ram one of the most strict immigration bills ever down a dem president’s throat. All they gave away was a little military aid to allies. I mean what a fucking deal, champagne anyone?! Lankford is a fucking rockstar for the Republicans right now holy shit! Oh Biden won’t really enforce it though… Oh yeah, who gives a fuck we’ll filibuster any kind of repeal of this and the next Republican president is gonna wield this shit hard.

    Insert Donnie and his liar surrogates…

    How the hell is Donald Trump going to win the election and keep his ass out of jail if he doesn’t have a scapegoat to scream about? Shit. Biden is gonna trot this out every time I fucking try to say he’s allowing an “invasion” at the southern border. He’s even gonna be right. Kill it. Kill this fucking legislation. Shit, we’re gonna fuckin piss off some of our people with this… Fuck em, when they start fuckin hemming and hawing we’ll just say they aren’t real Republicans.

    Associated press says:

    “A former youth minister in the Baptist church, Lankford, 55, is known as one of the most sincere and well-liked members of the Senate. He’s a conservative who rarely votes against his party, has long championed stricter measures at the border and has been supportive of former President Donald Trump. So his colleagues’ swift and outright rejection of the deal he has spent weeks and months negotiating — and their willingness to completely abandon Lankford in the process, after many of them indicated they were supportive of the direction of the talks — is all the more remarkable.”

    Oops! Was just in the wrong place at the wrong time… Too bad you gotta be a victim, but we ain’t seizing power and staying outta jail if we don’t sacrifice you to the Orange God!

    Wait…

    Didn’t Trump endorse Lankford? Ya… He said he was strong on the border… The deal we’re trying to kill?

    Associated Press says:

    “When he took on the job negotiating a border compromise, Lankford laughed that “he drew the short straw.” Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., joked later that if Lankford can’t get a deal done: “Moses couldn’t get a deal done. He’s one of the most kindest, compassionate people I’ve met in my lifetime.””

    Donnie says via Associated Press:

    “I think this is a very bad bill for his career, and especially in Oklahoma,” Trump said of Lankford on a radio show earlier this week.

    Damn Lankford… That’s rough.

  17. Beauregard, you mean to tell me that our Jackals have not only turned on each other but they mean to do us harm as well??!!

    The southern union will not stand for this.

  18. Yea they never thought he’d succeed. All this is at this point is an excuse for them to do Trump/Putin’s bidding in blocking funding for Ukraine.

  19. Remember guys, both sides are the same and always have been

  20. GOP is dysfunctional and sadly dying. Their leader is self proclaimed future dictator and genius, GOP lacks policy. They aren’t the future.

  21. “The Republicans” did not tap him, Mitch McConnell tapped him. Big difference. The swamp tapped him and did swampy things.
