Dope1: And here’s the Nonsense on Stilts way the democrats view the world:

twitter.com - Rep Clyde...

Some say, well, we have to deal with our border first. The Ukrainian Russian border is OUR border!"

Real policy of genius, this is. Are there pills that democrats take that kill enough brain cells so that this sounds intelligent, or is it an excessive consumption of alcohol that does it?

Actually, isn't representative Connolly delivering a poor man's version of the Brandenburg Gate speech in April, 1987, by president Ronald Reagan (granted, probably not intentionally, and not nearly so eloquently or with the same communication skills; nor did Conolly have a speech writer like Reagan in Peter Robinson)?

And as usual, by getting your news from Xwitter, you get representative Clyde's heavily edited version of Connolly's floor speech in which he said: "I will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with our Ukrainian brothers and sisters, who for 1,151 days have been holding off Vladimir Putin’s depraved and brutal invasion of their homeland. Ukraine represents the front line of the fight between freedom and repression. Between democracy and autocracy. Between those who carry the flame of democratic ambition and those who aim to extinguish it."

Reagan said: "Standing before the Brandenburg Gate, every man is a German, separated from his fellow men. Every man is a Berliner, forced to look upon a scar. . . . As long as this gate is closed, as long as this scar of a wall is permitted to stand, it is not the German question alone that remains open, but the question of freedom for all mankind."

In short, we're all in this fight for democracy over autocracy, freedom over oppression. And that border of Ukraine's might as well be our border, too.

Dope1: Pro tip: Most can walk (secure our border) and chew gum (aid foreign countries that are in need or furthering our interests) at the same time. The democrats CHOOSE not to walk.

Nope, wrong again.

Republicans control what comes to the House floor and the republican Speaker of the House refuses to bring an immigration bill to the floor because Donald Trump told him to kill the bill.

Democrats -- and a number of republicans -- would vote for the bipartisan bill if it were to reach the floor.
