The Biden administration and their media lackeys are attempting to shift the blame for the border crisis from Biden's implicit and explicit statements encouraging more illegal migrants to pass over the border apparently to the Trump administration. The logic of course remains simple. Everything that goes wrong for the next couple of years will be Trump's fault and everything that goes right will be because of Biden and his policies. So there are problems at the border, the operative word being "problems" and therefore it is Trump's fault by default.
But the reality is that there was no border crisis under Trump because Trump worked to prevent and stop illegal crossings. Without the incentive for migrants to cross the border or the support for this illegal activity coming from the White House, there simply was no crisis. The crisis is here 100% specifically because of the actions of the incoming White House who effectively made promises to potential illegal migrants that they had no ability to keep.

Then why was there no actually border issue while Trump was President?
And why are all the beaners rushing the border wearing t-shirts that say:
BIDEN PLEASE LET US IN!
Maybe everyone living in a single room should be forced to double up with an illegal immigrant in California.
And pay for their food and upkeep.
Else they would be doubly racist.
The border issue is important, yes, but why are
Republicans [Trying to] Take Credit for Relief They Opposed[?] [brackets added]
March 16, 2021
Taegan Goddard quoting VOX:
“The popularity of the legislation puts Republican members of Congress in a bind:
How does one message against a bill that most Americans like, and that will cut child poverty in half, while also juicing an economy that’s been ravaged by the year-long pandemic?”
“Some Republicans, perhaps understandably, are instead opting to instead focus on culture war distractions like whether Dr. Seuss is being ‘canceled.’ But others are shamelessly trying to TAKE CREDIT for Democratic policy RIGHT AFTER they voted against it.”

HYPOCRISY, thy name is WHAT?
The FBI is Being Asked to Revisit the Brett Kavanaugh Vetting
THE GUARDIAN REPORTS THAT:
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (R-RI) is calling on the newly-confirmed attorney general, Merrick Garland, to help facilitate “proper oversight” by the Senate into questions about how thoroughly the FBI investigated Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing.
“Among the concerns listed in Whitehouse’s letter to Garland are allegations that some witnesses who wanted to share their accounts with the FBI could not find anyone at the bureau who would accept their testimony and that it had not assigned any individual to accept or gather evidence.”
________
Now that does sound just a bit shady, doesn't it? I mean, a truly independent agency is supposed to consider all testimony, isn't it?

Because I didn't have access to my social security benefits and pensions for a couple months"
So, Rogers new , new, new , stated income is @ a minimum $35,000 less then his stated, "6 figure income for life".
Why is it you didn't have access to "social security benefits and pensions for a couple months"
Very odd shit.
McConnell Warns of ‘Scorched-Earth’ Senate
THE HILL REPORTS:
Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) offered a scathing warning to Democrats on Tuesday, amid growing pressure to nix the legislative filibuster.
Said McConnell:
“Let me say this very clearly for all 99 of my colleagues: Nobody serving in this chamber can even begin, can even begin, to imagine what a completely scorched-Earth Senate would look like.”
_______
JAMES: He should have thought about that before he pulled all his shenanigans.
______
Washington Post:
“McConnell’s warning, delivered on the Senate floor Tuesday, came after the chamber’s second-ranking Democrat, Majority Whip Richard Durbin backed eliminating the filibuster in a Monday floor speech — reversing his previous opposition.”
I didn't know Roger was running for public office.
I guess that's why personal matters of his are being discussed here.
He is not letting everyone to cross the border. Only children without their parents.
Full families and forced back to Mexico.
They are struggling to find safe places for children. They are trying to avoid putting kids into cages like both previous administrations.
Scott, he is trying to do the right things, instead of calling them murders and rapists and drug dealers.
The Republicans should actually work with Sleepy Joe instead of playing politics.
I'm not going into details, but I have recovered my life.
Lolololololololololol good point
COMMENTATOR: The Democrats’ 1.9 trillion covid relief package is a reality. The most amazingly aggressive rescue bill of our lifetime.
It was passed in a strictly party-line vote: Democrats all voted yes, Republicans all voted no.
We’re not even at the one hundred day marker yet for the Biden administration, and this is an incredible victory for the country, the administration, and the Democratic party which HELD TOGETHER against unified opposition from the Republicans who didn’t give them a single vote in either house. The Republicans tried to break the Democrats apart by forcing tough votes on amendments and arguing against the bill in public, but it didn’t work. The Democrats won. And as a result, a lot of peoples’ lives are going to get better.
BIDEN: “By passing this, we’re going to get real, tangible results for the American people and their families. They’ll be able to see, and know, and feel the change in their own lives.”

Because I didn't have access to my social security benefits and pensions for a couple months.
So very odd.
But, in the end on more statement that ends the lie of "6 figure income for life"
Confirmed, also is these facts.
Begged online for money.
Relieved on the wealth of you kiddos to keep you afloat.
So zero cash reserves, unbelievable.
COMMENTATOR: There is a LOT in this bill, including, for starters, three hundred and fifty billion dollars for state and local governments which have been hobbled by the pandemic, by their decreased tax revenues, by added expenses.
There’s one hundred and thirty billion dollars for K to 12 schools.
There’s five billion dollars in relief for hard hit restaurants.
There’s tens of billions for covid testing -- which, by the way, is still important, still vital, even as we continue to vaccinate.
There’s also a ton of money for vaccine distribution and other measures to fight and suppress the virus.
Now that’s just sort of the programmatic part. Because there’s also the money that’s going to go directly to Americans, struggling Americans. That includes an extension of the three hundred dollar weekly federal unemployment payment bonus that gets paid above what you would normally make for unemployment.
There’s also a tax break on unemployment benefits so people don’t get some shocking tax bill.
There are also the fourteen hundred dollar stimulus checks for low and middle income Americans, coupled with an additional fourteen hundred dollar check for their adult dependents and children.
AND there’s a child tax credit of either 3,000 or 600 dollars for each child, depending on the child’s age. That child tax credit alone – let’s be clear, this is for one year -- could benefit as many as eighty-three million children in this country.
Now, here’s the impact:
BIDEN: “Taken all together, this plan is going to make it possible to cut child poverty IN HALF. Let me say it again: It’s significant; it’s historic: It will cut child poverty IN HALF.”
COMMENTATOR: Advances like this, this piece of legislation -- they don’t come along very often. And not only is it going to impact child poverty -- I mean just let’s look at the fourteen hundred dollar check, right?—that’s on top of the sixteen hundred dollars that was passed in the last relief packet. So let’s say if you’re a married couple that makes less than $150,000 a year, and you’ve got two kids along with an adult dependent -- say, a child in college or a disabled adult who lives with you: You’re looking at seven thousand dollars in direct payments from the government, fourteen hundred dallars for each person in the family. That’s a real game changer, especially after the year all of us have had.
The White House says many Americans will get that money by the end of this month.
So how did we get here? I mean, the one thing that strikes me as I look at this is this: Both parties have tons of corporate donors, with lobbyists on both sides working over Congress. There are ways in which Republicans and Democrats are both overly influenced by big money, by corporate interests, by the rich. Right?
And yet look at the difference in the distributional priorities. When Donald Trump’s Republican party got elected, they tried to gut the Affordable Care Act twice, and then successfully passed a massive tax cut primarily for the rich and the corporations.
First thing out of the gate, what did Biden and the Democrats do? They passed a bill in which the poorest twenty percent of Americans are expected to see a twenty percent boost in income, while the richest one percent will receive an income boost of ZERO – zero percent. Now just think about that, just think about the difference in the distributional effects here. And then think about the fact that Republicans keep insisting that they are, in the words of Josh Hawley, a “working class party.”
Now, it’s true the 2020 election suggested that the GOP is actually increasingly relying on less affluent voters while the Democratic coalition is actually getting more professional and more affluent. BUT the Republican rhetoric around “standing for” the working class is just not reflected in their policies. That’s why Republicans would rather talk about Dr. Seuss—or better still, culture wars: Because they don’t particularly seem to have an actual agenda to help the working class. Republicans would rather inflame resentments in hopes of increasing their power.
BIDEN: “When I was elected, I said we were going to get the government out of the business of battling on Twitter, and back in the business of delivering for the American people. Of making a difference in their lives. Of giving everyone a chance, a fighting chance. Of showing the American people that their government can work for them. This American Rescue Plan does that.”
But you have a point, even the traitorous MSM thinks Sleepy Joe is not doing well enough. NBC news
Biden needs to admit that his eagerness to roll back Trump’s immigration policies without a meaningful plan to deal with the predictable migration increase has led to chaos at the border. While many voters wanted a kinder, gentler approach than Trump’s, Democrats cannot simply wish away the need for effective border security and immigration regulation short of declaring open borders — a deeply unpopular idea carrying numerous economic and security risks.
Playing to the wishes of the Democratic base while ignoring the need for more enforcement has merely exacerbated the problem at the border and is becoming impossible to deny, much as the Biden administration would like to. It’s not only a problem in terms of the United States being ill-equipped and under-resourced to handle the surge. It also leads migrants to take risks on dangerous terrain and increases the likelihood that unaccompanied minors will end up in perilous conditions.
The numbers are stark. More than 100,000 migrants attempted to enter the U.S. in February, more than three times the amount for February 2020 and the highest level for the month in five years. “Internal DHS/HHS reports show the crisis at the border is significantly worse than Biden admin has acknowledged,” Washington Post reporter Nick Miroff tweeted Wednesday. “There are now 3,500 unaccompanied minors in grim Border Patrol detention cells, a record.” And more than 1,000 minors have exceeded the amount of time they can be detained before being transferred to a shelter, according to the New York Times.
I agree, he hadn't handled it well enough
COMMENTATOR: There’s a notion that the two parties are increasingly hopelessly polarized. Each side retreats to its own corner. And while that’s partly true, it’s not the whole truth. Because what’s happening is not symmetrical.
It’s true, not a single Republican backed the new Covid relief bill. But just think back over the past year when the Donald Trump was president and the economy cratered, and the Republicans were essentially forced to pass stimulus bills: Democrats backed that legislation. They voted for economic stimulus multiple times in an election year, even though they had to know that it would help Donald Trump’s reelection bid – and even though Donald Trump literally put his name on the checks. I mean -- I guess if Democrats really wanted to play hard ball, if they were absolute psychos back in the spring, they could have thought, “Look, you know the better the economy’s doing, the better it’s going to help Trump’s chance at reelection.” So they could’ve refused to back the stimulus back then when Trump was President. They could’ve acted the way Republicans are acting now.
But for a bunch of complicated, fascinating reasons, Democratic politicians really are committed to the project of using government as a means of helping people who are struggling. The proof is in the pudding, in this bill.
And Republicans? – Well let’s just say they’re making a very different calculation.
Jamie is correct on this single point.
Sleepy Joe has $3.1 Trillion to spend at will.
Border agents are encountering 565 unaccompanied migrant children crossing the border on average per day, up from 313 children per day last month.
Fuck
Inflation is heading to a 8 year high.
Sleepy Joe opened the Southern Border.
FEMA -- Federal EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY,,, is deployed.
Yet, the media has yet to even see the smoke from the Amtrak firey crash .

Fuck indeed.
The border was secure thanks to Trump.
Hospice Joe FUCKED IT.
Sovereign nations have a right to secure borders alky. and your desperation for new democrat votes is not a condition that warrants throwing the border wide fucking open.
