When does Biden get up and say Trump is stopping him from building the wall?

why Baby Butcher Biden wanna build that Wall

[@66Sixxy]

When he finally grows a spine. Yeah, I voted for him, but he's so weak when it comes to hitting the rubes back. If he'd come out & be loud & aggressive, tell folks what he's done, rip the Republicans a new 1 for obstructing this bill & others, he'd have a fighting chance to save us this election cycle. If he doesn't start doing that soon, we're doomed to another 4 years of Derp Führer.

Well, in a time when the staunch liberals within the party are more dug in on their own reactionary tendencies more than ever, and the frontrunner for the opposition party is so unpopular within it’s broader coalition, I think they’re banking on it paying off to give up on their progressive charade, and embrace the MOST conservative positions the party can take, and still be Democrats, by (ideally) the Republicans who feel abandoned by the far-right populist movement, replacing the leftward voters which Biden has lost thanks to Israel, and forming a coalition of babies who feel abandoned because they’re either too human, or not human enough for the respective wings of the political spectrum.

[@jakeslater6836]

I think what they are saying is they are tired of Dems giving in to Radical, racist Repubs that caused the border issue. Repubs know how to break shit and blame Dems, and Dems think if they show the voters they try to cooperate that will make any difference. Repubs in Florida were the ones behind the Colombian contract killers that assassinated Haitian president Moìse to cause unrest and create an influx of migrants, look it up. They are also responsible for Mexican cartels working with smugglers in the US so that governors like Desantis and Abbot could use tax payer money to ship them across the United States. Repubs cause the migrant crisis using murder and bribery and then Dems are foolish enough to try and work with them to fix it

[@66Sixxy]

We all know there's an issue. Unfortunately, rather than sign this bill, the rubes in DC would rather listen to Derp Führer than sign it into law & get it taken care of now. Dumpy wants to run on it so he can scream at the collective brain cell of MAGA that G. Joe & the dems refused to fix it. It's a lie, but hell, their dumb enough to believe all his other lies & all the Qcumber 💩, so they'll buy this too.

They're effectively just giving the republicans everything they want minus just killing migrants at the boarder, then saying "Trump is stopping us from solving this!" when Trump wants the same thing for the boarder, he just doesn't want Biden to get the win.

You are giving them too much credit. In the 90s there was a push legislatively to pass Republican legislation by the Democratic Party. In the 2010s the same thing was attempted. By then Republicans had learned that they don't get the credit when Dems pass their bills, so they axed that, and just about everything else Dems were seeking bipartisanship for. Why would it suddenly work a decade later? You cannot out right wing the right. I wish Dems would stop trying it. All it does is push the Democratic Party, and thus the country, further to the right.

@@darksaint0124 I can read the bill too. Sam called the bill terrible weeks before it was even released. Since then, he has complained incessantly about how it was a complete capitulation and failure without discussing any specifics. He has taken the position that any bill that doesn't achieve 100% of the democratic wish list must be considered a failure. He maintains that continuing the same strategy that has resulted in zero legislation in 3+ decades to continue arguing about it is smart strategy while providing no example of a "narrative" to change the public's mind. Whether people want to ignore the reality or not, the truth is that there are more than 5x the number of people coming to the border in the past few years than we have had in a decade, and this is expected to continue into the future for many years due to the projected economic performance of the US v. the rest of the world. Providing more resources to handle the increase is needed to prevent further humanitarian crisis and suffering while expediting the backlog of asylum claims. No legislation is perfect, but calling this an abject failure is just another excuse for Sam to baselessly bash Joe Biden without providing any solutions.
