What are you talking about? Johnson killed the bill before the provisions were released. He killed the bill before any party said "you better vote for this." He killed the bill before anyone had a chance to talk about the provisions, before any changes could be made.

Huh? The provisions were all leaked in advance. Senator Lankford absolutely beclowned himself by trying to deny the 5,000 migrants/day wasn't actually in the bill. Being dishonest is one thing, being dishonest when everyone KNOWS you're lying makes him look stupid at the same time.

The Republican strategy was, "Hey, Democrats, when we said we wanted border security in the Ukraine bill, we meant you better vote for exactly our HR 2 bill or else you'll be blamed and you won't get anything out of us."

If that bill didn't have the 5,000 trigger in it it would have PASSED.
