My contempt for what has become today's Republican party has deepened!

GOP supporters of aid to Ukraine are beginning to look for a Plan B as they come to grips with the reality that Senate legislation to boost border security and deal with a host of foreign crises is dead in the House - all because Donald Trump doesn't want President Biden to have a 'win'.

@Free_Press if you check out mainstream GOP discussion, that explanation doesn't really hold water.

For one thing, they already think Biden's lost and cannot be resuscitated, so it doesn't matter if Biden gets a win, regardless of anything Trump would say.

Secondly, they'd count it as a win for themselves and crow about it. Trump would count it as a win in his gobbeldygook.

But mainly, they don't think the Senate legislation goes far enough and they're willing to hold their line thinking it will get them their win.

They're obsessed with border, and that's the reason this legislation is not gaining sufficient Republican support.

@volkris @Free_Press Their logic is flawed from the get-go in thinking that Biden is in charge of anything beyond, maybe, when he gets to take a nap.

@EvilSandmich I'd say mainstream GOP would agree with you that Biden isn't in charge.

Really, I'd say their logic is flawed in a different place: their simultaneous declaring that the law isn't being followed and then the demand for new laws.

But that's what they're working with.

@volkris @Free_Press >their simultaneous declaring that the law isn’t being followed and then the demand for new laws

That is so tiresome, and inevitably the law-change is just an acknowledgement of the current paradigm which is so unpopular they can't even get kooks to vote for it (which also tells us something).
