Democrats say Republicans suddenly gave up this week on negotiating new rules for immigration enforcement agents after DHS officers fatally shot two people in Minnesota in January.
For Republicans to now act as though Democrats have changed our position, as though weve moved the goalpost, is poppycock bad faith, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a floor speech Wednesday. And for Republicans to send a proposal that has no reforms is bad faith, as well.
Republicans, for their part, say Democrats are unwilling to take yes for an answer even after they proposed leaving out ICE enforcement funding.
I dont know how they will ever satisfy their crazy online political base, Thune told reporters, because thats what this is about.

(26,121 posts)Maybe we just dump TSA and let people on planes like they did before 9-11. Let's stop the security state that costs a fortune, fails to deliver and only provides the illusion of safety while wasting people's fucking time and money
Let's try that and fund health care instead.
