2 things can be true.
- the Biden Administration blocked a JetBlue/Spirit merger out of market consolidation concerns & now here we are with one company gone.
- the final blow that caused Spirit to fall was skyrocketing jet fuel prices caused by the war in Iran.
Van Jones: we have to stop with this kind of violence, on all side....
No. There is no ALL SIDES political violence epidemic in this country. There is a left-wing violence problem and pretending it's ALL SIDES doesn't help solve the issue.
There are 42 states that hold bartenders accountable if the customers they over serve kill someone but 0 states that hold Judges accountable if the criminals they release kill someone.
Insane.
Why should I care about ICE agents being at the airport…
Do the DMV and polling places too.
Our country just endured historic levels of illegal immigration. Millions of unvetted people.
I am an American. The officers are American.
No problem at all.
@tchest1973@NotTheBestPlan1@PolitiBunny To show that you were born in the US? If you weren't but you've become a naturalized US citizen then those documents would be required instead.
Understand what Thune is doing right now. It’s not enough for him to kill the SAVE America Act. Thune has to kill it while also protecting his worst RINO colleagues from being
exposed for opposing it.
How does Thune accomplish his? By avoiding a simple majority vote at all costs. Thune knows a public vote where Republicans get less than 50 votes—with people like Tillis and Curtis and McConnell and Murkowski voting against IT—is electoral poison. He doesn’t want it to pass, but he also can’t have it die at the hands of his own puke colleagues.
So how does Thune do this? By refusing to move to the already-passed House bill (this only requires a simple majority because the House message is privileged) and instead moving to a new, standalone Senate bill. A new Senate bill is not privileged, and therefore the motion to proceed to it is debatable, meaning it requires 60 votes.
Thune needs to kill the SAVE America Act, not expose any of his GOP colleagues as being against it, and be able to pretend that he tried. This is the actual Senate GOP trifecta—doing nothing while pretending they tried everything and protecting the worst of the worst the whole time.
So when you watch the GOP Senate bring up a brand new SAVE America Act bill and hold a single vote on a motion that needs 60 to pass, know that they’re doing it because they think you’re stupid.
