@FoxNews@Freedom250 That's a wrap! Great coverage today. Definitely had us all laughing with the delayed Fox stream: us watching Trump watching you watch him wave at himself, then watching him watch himself waving at himself. 😅
Everyone's clowning on Commie Mamdani for having Washington's desk backwards in this hostage video, but it's deliberate.
It's meant to be this way: you are Washington, looking at the carpetbagger who came to your desk to tell you he hates your country and he's got demands.
To all the idiots out there upset about the Supreme Court upholding the law and sending Haitians and Syrian illegals back home… listen up.
And the fake news, stop lying!
The vast majority of Haitian illegals that came across were actually from Chile and Brazil. They had spent years there and only came because of the open borders left who invited them. If you want to be upset at anyone for illegals being deported, be upset at the Democrats and the NGO’s who invited them in and profited off of the undermining of America.
Law & Border @RealAmVoice
The Democrats are true radicals.
They don’t want to negotiate. They don’t want to debate. They want to obstruct. They want to obstruct common sense.
They voted no on codifying @realDonaldTrump border security measures. Why? They want open borders. It’s that simple.
Respectfully, we debated and dispatched with these arguments months ago.
1 and 2: Unlimited amendments” in a TF are the same as what happens in a budget and reconciliation vote-a-rama, which the Senate has done multiple times this year. Amendments offered during a TF can be tabled at 51, and tabled by voice unless a sufficient second is present. For context, the last unlimited amendment process in the Senate lasted 8 hours.
3: A quorum is maintained through senators registering their presence via a live quorum. It works like a vote. They come in, raise their hands, and leave. A quorum is then deemed present. Yes, the GOP would need to be around the floor to register their presence when summoned. But they do not need to sit on the floor constantly. Once a quorum is present, Dems need to speak or the vote happens automatically. Delaying a vote by making a speech is what a filibuster actually is.
4: Yes, this will take time, but the point is to force a negotiation. The physical pain of the process is what compels that. It’s how Mansfield started with 40 votes on the Civil Rights Act and ended up getting cloture at 67 after two months of forcing a talking filibuster. It forces a negotiation *that would never take place otherwise* by imposing a physical cost on continued obstruction.
4(a) But the modern Senate is so lazy that I think this would only last a week before some kind of compromise emerged, as long as the GOP didn’t fold first.
4(b) A big reason the TF is attractive as a strategy on the SAVE America Act is that it’s good politics. Voter ID is an 80% issue across party lines. It’s a walking campaign ad. I suspect if you asked the voters, this is what they’d like to see rather than attending yet other chicken dinner and listening to a bunch of talking points about things the Senate promises and then never does.
5: Voter ID/citizenship verification is worth doing regardless of implementation timing.
6: So drop mail-in ballots and do what has the support of 51 GOP senators, including Susan Collins: citizenship verification and voter ID (the House passed bill).
7: Yes, in the Senate outcomes are unpredictable (except when you’re a campus reporter predicting the demise of the SAVE America Act, they know everything, just ask them). The GOP would need to commit to tabling poison pill Dem amdts, just like they do when they vote against amendments fatal to the privilege in reconciliation. But maybe you do adopt some good amendments and the negotiated product gets cloture. That’s the goal. But you will NEVER GET THERE UNLESS YOU TRY.
8: There are opportunity costs for the two week recess the Senate just took and for its consistent 2.5 day work week - think of the judges that could have been confirmed! - but somehow no one ever raises those.
I’m fighting for a western civilization where none of them had to die.
We’re not fighting red vs. blue.
We’re fighting good vs. evil.
Darkness vs. light.
We must win.
@ginamilan_ And they walk off following Kallama; leaving Biden alone in front of the world, like they did in the race. I'd love for him to just ramble off a dedication about how he feels about Obama.
Black man was blasting his music on his phone in the waiting room of the doctors office.
White woman calls him out for it and ask him to turn it down and he freaks out!
He even went as far as to say he would have his girlfriend beat her up.
Regular folks are fed up with this!
.@DanaPerino slams the DNC for enabling the DSA to grow in power and warns of the lasting consequences.
"The reason that the Democratic Socialists of America is doing so well, is because they are better funded and organized than the DNC, by far!!"
New Yorkers deserve to know what movement @ZohranKMamdani proudly belongs to, and what @KathyHochul and the Albany establishment have chosen to normalize.
The @DemSocialists openly advocate abolishing the Senate and Electoral College, weakening the Presidency and Supreme Court, replacing capitalism with socialism, putting major industries under government ownership, abolishing ICE, ending deportations, dismantling jails and prisons, slashing the military, closing overseas bases, ending sanctions on Cuba, Venezuela and Iran, and drafting a new constitution to create what they call a “democratic socialist republic.”
They describe America as a nation built on slavery, genocide and capitalism and argue that our institutions perpetuate oppression.
These are not smears. These are positions found in their own documents.
This is the movement that elevated Zohran Mamdani and that Albany Democrats chose to embrace rather than reject.
Current DSA-backed candidates seeking office in New York include @claireforny, @DarializaforNY, @ConradforHarlem, @david4queens, @EonHuntley4BKN, @CCT4NYC, and @AberKawas.
For 250 years, the American experiment has been the greatest engine of freedom and prosperity in history. Today, that experiment is under attack. We should not apologize for America. We should defend her. Vote accordingly.
