The demagogue Trump over country; that seems to be the way of the authoritarian mindset that has overtaken the erstwhile GOP.

Conservative Oklahoma Senator is being attacked for trying to help pass immigration reform. And it looked hopeful until the orange clown told the MAGAs to oppose it in order to help his political chances. How effing stupid the MAGAs are.

For several months, Senator James Lankford has been working on a bi-partisan immigration reform bill that looked as if it might offer real reforms.

Within the past week, Republican leaders started coming out against the deal.

Senator Lankford has pushed back, saying Republicans shouldn't wait and that the opportunity to act is now, which led to the Oklahoma Republican Party censuring him.

"To be very clear, I'm being accused of promoting amnesty and everything else. There's no amnesty in this bill at all," Lankford said. "The focus is, we have a responsibility constitutionally to be able to protect our nation, we have a responsibility to be able to protect our families."

There has been a rumor that his bill would allow for 5,000 border incursions a day, which Lankford denied.

"It's been very misinterpreted, misunderstood, or just twisted on purpose," Lankford said. "The focus of this is changing the asylum process, changing the way we do detention, turning people around faster, doubling the number of deportation flights so that people that qualify get in and people that don't, which is the vast majority of folks, they all get turned around."

Are you listening Dope? Nah, didn't think so.

lankford is recently seen as a moderate because he is trying to get something done (so a notch above jim jordan level), but is only angry because trump tanked something he could pad his resume with.

taking a longer look :
a. climate denier
b. former baptist minister that STILL supports trump for president

in other words, not just an oblivious bystander, but lankford is an active architect of the modern GOP. and surprisingly naive, thinking his effort on anything would be more important than trump's direction to MAGA politicians and other cult members.
