As if this wasn't predictable. Actually not a bad move on their part from a politician standpoint, because it appeases their pathetic, weak-kneed base all the while knowing it would never be confirmed by a two-third majority of the Senate. Then they can pull the "oh shucks, we tried" in 2020.
In the end, I simply can't see how this is a winning hand for them.

Kind of like shutting down part of the government to appease their pathetic, week-kneed base.
Just following President Goofy's lead.

Ha. If it wasn't for the Right this country would have been invaded 20 different times because everyone on the left is a coward afraid of their own shadow.

Maybe you would see things differently if a loved one were murdered by an illegal immigrant. Now that I think about it, maybe you wouldn't.

What? You're now a left-winger, a bleeding heart liberal? Now you care? Sure you do, as you see it as a good political point for Donald.
How touching.
Funny - I don't see you continuously advocating for additional mental health funding. You know - the people who are ten times more likely to kill one of your loved ones than is an illegal immigrant. But that's not nearly as cool as a "wall", is it? Pardon me if I see that tear in your eye as being fake.

I know it definitely won't be an access to guns issue...

The difference is that the mentally ill are US citizens. We're stuck with them. We don't need to import additional murderers.
And what do you think "additional mental health funding" would accomplish, other than giving another thousand people money taken by force from hard-working Americans? When has "additional funding" ever solved a social problem?

Yes, because gun control laws would certainly keep firearms out of the hands of criminals.

Individual Democrats grandstanding for their constituents have floated articles. They've all been shot down immediately by other Democrats.
Add another democratic congresswoman to the club. Rashida Tlaib calls Trump an expletive during her pitch to impeach.
I don't know about you guys, but I love my lawmakers holding personal grudges! MAGA!

Of course you like it. You love it in your President, why wouldn't you love it in a lawmaker?

Is any criticism of Trump automatically TDS?
Calling him a [BLEEP] (in a conversation with her son, no less) I believe comfortably qualifies her as afflicted. Yes.
