@andrewklavan: "Hm. @TheDemocrats did everything to stop Trump from securing the border. Now they're whining that there are illegals moving into their neighborhoods instead of Flyover country. Are Dem voters not disgusted by the hypocrisy and lies? Do they enjoy being treated like idiots?" Other Daily Wire Members

Trump was offered $20 billion for the wall by Democrats and he refused. Trump has no buy himself to blame for his failure.

What's next, "Republicans are against reducing inflation cuz they are against Biden's inflation reduction act"? "It's in the name, don'tchaknow! That must be what it does!" Maybe "Republicans are against veterans' health care!" because they oppose a bill that also does some very evil accounting tricks that will hurt the country.

Both of those are real, recent examples, and I bet you bought that slop too. The only question is whether it was out of pure gullibility or if you're complicit, thought no doubt that, in general, it's a lot of both.

No honest person with a brain could look at those bills and make your argument.

Edit: But I'm reminded again about who you are. We already knew you are beyond merely dishonest or a troll. You're the guy who gloats about the murder of political opponents.

If you really believe government debt is the primary driver of inflation, you would conclude that Republicans are against reducing inflation because Trump added $7.8 trillion to the debt, which is third-most for a president compared to size of the economy, and most for any president not starting a war.

There were no evil accounting tricks. If you disagree, feel free to point out the evil budgeting moves, the specific amounts, and what they were spent on. Considering that Republican Senators like Cruz said the same thing but couldn’t point to any spending not being used on veteran healthcare, it sure looks like a bullshit point. Prove me wrong if you can though.

Oh, are you still whining about Babbit? I don’t gloat, but I’m not going to feel sorry for someone killed while trying to storm the Capitol to disrupt a democratic transfer of power by attacking politicians. Do you think you should always feel bad when violent political opponents die? Did you cry when Osama was killed?

It was Schumer himself that pulled the offer back, due to scathing backlash from his constituents. See here.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/schumer-pulls-back-offer-of-25-billion-for-trumps-wall-as-immigration-fight-continuse Your argument is a straw man. The offer was a gimmick and was never serious. As for your J6 assessment, don’t you listen to your own president? Aren’t you paying attention? He said that we need F15’s to take on the government. The people who went inside the capital on January 6th were “UNARMED”. So it’s ludicrous to continue to believe that “democracy” was in jeopardy. Ashley Babbit was killed by an incompetent bastard, who either randomly discharged his weapon through a window, because he didn’t care, or he intentionally shot an unarmed woman because he wished to kill trump supporters. He is not a hero! He was reckless, and had previously left his sidearm in the bathroom. He should be sued for wrongful death, and held responsible in a civil court.
