It's honestly so bad that it's actually getting it more views and it's being covered everywhere including the Daily Show. Part of me wonders if that's the intent but then I realize much of the GOP is completely incompetent.

Also, since the BoRDeR CriSiS is going to literally be the GOP's only attack this election cycle, let' remind them of a couple things:

Republicans blocked the border plan THEY originally wanted and which the Border Patrol themselves endorsed. <--- Republicans chose politics over policy.
iLlEGal ImMiGraNts actually commit less violent crime as a whole than American citizens themselves...
Right-Wing domestic extremists are far more violent.
Such undocumented immigrants yield a net-positive to our economy as a whole.

Don’t let them distract you with it in the first place.

They’re being quiet about the Comstock act which they will use to make mailing Mifepristone, an abortion medication, illegal.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
