"Secretary Mayorkas has willfully and consistently refused to comply with federal immigration laws, fueling the worst border catastrophe in American history," Johnson said following the vote.
No, the worst border catastrophe in American history was Operation W**back. (I apologize that the operation had such an incredibly offensive name)
Get fucked you horrible monsters
Ah okay, I've looked that up, That's insane.
For anyone wondering, the term did not originate with that deportation operation but looks like it came from a New York times article in 1920.
That, to me, aside from the massive number of deaths, is one of the craziest parts. "Let's racially profile a disadvantaged group and throw them out like garbage into barren dessert. To add insult to injury, let's name the whole plan after a well-known slur and feign ignorance."
Psychotic.

Thanks...eisenhower?
There's too much crazy s*** there, I don't even think I fully processed it yet.
After my brain acknowledges that it happened, I'll be able to read a more detailed account.
Republicans squeaking by a vote likely to be struck down based on an unpopular and provably false accusation that someone is not tough enough on immigration, after Republicans voted against stricter border control last month is not a win for them.
To recap: Everybody knew that they were itching to impeach President Biden on some trumped-up charge, because their fee-fees got hurt when what's-his-name got impeached for reasons that Democrats could at least intelligibly articulate. And then they chickened out, because they couldn't get anything out of the giant, Hunter Biden nothing-burger, and impeachment'd be a political loser so big that even they sensed it.
So now they've nailed Mayorkas as a Biden surrogate for, I guess, reasons? Everybody knows damn well that it's just a temper tantrum—the best charge that they can level is empty boilerplate, which is weird because they've hallucinated an entire migrant "invasion," one would think that a few specifics would be forthcoming. Maybe they've hit their quota on creative thought for the year?
Anyway, they couldn't nab the big dog, but at least now the so-called "centrists" have fuel for their what-about-ism, so— hooray?
Not Dr Breen!
Seeing his Breencast waiting In line at TSA almost let's me pretend I just arrived in city 17, probably the most use anyone who's not a politician has ever gotten out of TSA.
