It's not about blocking border security; it's about doing Putin's bidding by blocking aid to Ukraine.

He's not "the dumbest person in the Senate," nor is he a "brainwormed shitbird," nor is he trying to "REGRESS" for regression's sake -- or at least, none of those things are the important takeaways from this. The important takeaway is the fact that he's a straight-up fascist traitor working against America's interests in service of a foreign power.

Ron Johnson should be thankful that Tommy Tuberville won his election, because now he’s no longer the dumbest person in the Senate.

Obligatory Fuck Ron Johnson.

How this brainwormed shitbird won re-election in 2022 (when all other Wisconsin statewide elections went Dem) still baffles me.

the Wisconsin congressman recently said, adding that voters should be the ones deciding on the issue.

They are. They voted you into Congress. Do you not know how the thing you were elected to do works?

Republicans also brag about not feeding hungry school children.

They don't gaf

Don't forget that Chris Christie personally sabotaged a much needed and much desired New York/New Jersey tunnel project because it was being funded by TARP. His move didn't save tax payers a penny, because the money was spent on a different program. It screwed his own people, but it made him a darling of the GOP for a few weeks.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Republican Senator Ron Johnson is leading efforts to block a deal on border security, the Wisconsin congressman recently said, adding that voters should be the ones deciding on the issue.

"I've got 14 of my colleagues to sign a letter to Republican leadership to hold a conference meeting when we return on January 8," the Wisconsin senator told host Laura Ingraham.

He then claimed that the border was "largely secured" before Biden came into office, blaming the Democratic president for what he called the current crisis.

"President Biden said that these policies were inhumane and opened up the border," the Republican senator said, adding that migration was "completely out of control."

Biden, who faces heightened pressure—especially from Republicans—to tackle the situation, introduced new legislation deterring illegal arrivals in May, including deporting people deemed unable to stay and banning their re-entry for five years.

The Migration Policy Institute believes the deterrence is wearing off because border authorities do not have enough resources to impose consequences on illegal migrants.

"REGRESS! REGRESS! REGRESS!" The locals have heard him shout about shortly after.

The Republicans will either get what they ask for in a border package and lose the ability to bitch, or can try to obstruct until November and use it as leverage. This won’t be over soon
