In my opinion, they never had one! π₯π₯π₯π―ππ―π₯π₯π₯
-Either the GOP Senate leadership dropped its spine, or it never had one.
This political cartoon says it all.
At some point, Republican voters are going to need a real answer from Senate GOP leadership.
Are they failing because they lack the spine to fight, or are they failing because they never actually wanted to deliver the agenda voters demanded in the first place?
Because those are the only two choices left.
The American people did not vote for more excuses. They did not vote for endless process talk. They did not vote for βmaybe later,β βnot enough votes,β or βwe are working on it behind the scenes.β
They voted for action.
They voted for border security, election integrity, accountability, spending restraint, and an end to the political games that have been wrecking this country for years.
And that brings us directly to the SAVE Act.
This should not be complicated. American elections should be for American citizens. Period. That is not extreme. That is not controversial. That is basic common sense.
So why is Senate Republican leadership not making this an all-out fight?
Why is John Thune not forcing the issue every single day?
Why are Republican senators so often better at explaining why something cannot be done than they are at actually doing what their own voters sent them there to do?
This is exactly why so many Americans are furious with Washington.
Democrats tell you what they want and fight like hell for it. Republicans campaign like warriors, then too often govern like hall monitors who are afraid of getting in trouble.
The cartoon works because it hits the nerve everyone already feels.
Either the GOP Senate leadership dropped its spine, or it never had one.
And if they are not willing to fight for something as basic as protecting American elections, then voters have every right to ask what exactly they are doing there.
So which is it, Thune?
@Tironianae Where the hell is Gov. Abbott? Do I dare say follow the money? π€·ββοΈ
The GOP is useless and they have the nerve to text a hundred times a day for money. It was we the people who got them in, and they spat at us for the most part. Just venting how I feel and what I see.
@Iowa_1776 Good morning Capt. Ray
Lord, thank you for blessing us with this day ahead of us. May use this day for purpose and restfullness.
In the name of Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. Amen π
π¨ BOOM β THE TRUTH OF ISLAM JUST GOT NUKED ON CONGRESS!
Amy Mek: βIslam is a HOSTILE, totalitarian political ideology using our freedom to DESTROY us. To every non-Muslim, it offers 3 choices: convert, submit, or DIE."
The West must repel this evil!
A Muslim βrefugeeβ demanded a pregnant womanβs seat on the bus, saying he was too tired to stand. When she refused, two Muslim men violently dragged her out.
Support deporting Muslim refugees?
A. Yes
B. No
82 Years Ago Today β D-Day, June 6, 1944 πΊπΈ
They crossed a deadly sea.
They stormed beaches into hell.
They fought through blood, fire, and impossible odds.
Thousands never made it off those sands⦠but because of them, freedom lived.
This is for every soldier who gave everything that day β and for my grandfather, who fought in WWII and never made it home.
We remember. We honor. We will never forget. ποΈπΊπΈ
Nobody asked them to do it. Nobody trained them for it. They were just two teenage boys β the kind you pass on the sidewalk and barely notice β leaning on their bikes in the summer heat when they saw something no child should ever have to experience.
A man walked away with 5-year-old Jocelyn Rojas. She was supposed to be playing outside. She was supposed to be safe.
And in that single, awful second β while most of us would have been paralyzed, reaching for a phone, waiting for someone with a uniform and a badge to show up β these two boys made a choice.
They got on their bikes and they went after him.
No hesitation. No waiting for permission. No "someone else will handle it." Just two pairs of legs pumping hard through the streets of Lancaster, eyes locked on a stranger who had a little girl that wasn't his.
They tracked him. They stayed close. They didn't let him disappear into the afternoon like something that was never going to be found.
And then they confronted him.
Two teenagers. On bikes. Against a grown man who had already done the unthinkable. They forced him to stop.
He let Jocelyn go.
"The entire thing lasted only minutes." β Lancaster Police
Minutes. Because two boys closed the distance fast enough to interrupt it. Because they were raised β by someone, somehow β to believe that other people's emergencies are your business too.
When reporters asked one of them afterward why they did it, he gave the most deflating, most beautiful, most teenage answer imaginable.
He shrugged.
"I just felt like it was the right thing to do."
No speech. No GoFundMe. No press conference. Just a kid who saw a little girl in danger and couldn't make himself look away.
Jocelyn went home. She was reunited with her family. She got to grow up.
Because of two boys on bikes who hadn't been asked, hadn't been trained, hadn't been paid β and did it anyway.
