Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made the shocking decision to recommend Republicans block the advancement of the Senate pro-migration border bill.
That first procedural vote was set for Wednesday. It is unknown if Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will forge ahead, although that is likely. McConnell cited the overwhelming number of Senate Republicans planning to vote against the measure either on substance or because they wanted more time, according to Punchbowl News.

Don't be fooled. Nothing gets done in the GOP Senate without the approval of Mitch "MultiUselessMultiFreeze" McConnell. He faces another revolt. He is shocked and blames others.

I’m guessing that Mitch had a minion read the bill, and discovered that he, (Mitch), wasn’t getting as big a kickback from it as Chuck Schumer promised him.

Yeah, and now that the Kentucky Republicans couldn't get rid of their governor, we're stuck with Turtle until his term ends (2026, I believe, but it could be 2028). Hopefully, he will accept the position of Leader Emertus like Nasty Nancy Pelosi did after the 2024 election.

Remember a couple of weeks ago when McConnell said there wouldn't be a "border bill" because Trump opposed it. Then, suddenly, there was a border bill again. Don't be surprised if McConnell tries to revive this turkey in the final days before their next recess.

We've turned against McConnell Turkey Neck a long time ago. Why won't these power hungry old fools retire and stop tearing up our world?

It sounds to me like the conservative media have been successful in getting the word out about how bad this bill will be for America..... and The Turtle realized that the fraud has been exposed and is doing damage control... but as other have said, don't be surprised at a 'Midnight Betrayal'.
I don't trust the Turtle any farther than I can spit upwind in a hurricane..... and I've been through a few of 'em!

Mitch is just giving senators on his side of the aisle more time to read the bill, per their demand.
He still supports it.

Mitch discovered which way the wind is blowing, and most of the people see this bill for what it is, and closing the border to even MORE illegals ain't in it, in fact it seems like an invitation for even more of them to come in, nothing to deter IMOHO!

Don't kid yourself-- Benedict Turtle NEVER says things like this.
Is there not a mechanism in the legislative proposal whee he can get money??
Maybe it is allowing people to STILL come over WITHOUT proper immigration procedures to become new American citizens THE RIGHT WAY which is almost NEVER on the table so that his big business pals can get slave labor workers so that they can continue to become rich but calling it legal...
When 5,000 a day is reached others are turned away?? Now that people can look at what is proposed its not 5000 but 8,500. It is deceitful beyond belief!!
Tying three issues together to support the money laundering operations in corrupt Ukraine with aid to support Israel allow with the "throwaway" bone to 'border security' (?) in order to get passage shows just how crooked Chuck U. Schumer and his turncoat pal Lankford from Oklahoma can be--
We need more republican senators to get out front publicly to attack the 'take it or leave it' nature of this plan and GET ON RECORD as standing for the average American citizen instead of allowing THE LAW TO CONTINUE TO BE BROKEN.

He saw his short political future getting even shorter and the glimpse of reality made him see the light. The American people will no longer accept business as usual. The details of the bill have been hidden because they all knew it is garbage. Biden will attempt to give a speech to scold everybody.

He ought to. When Chuck Schumer threatens to send the troops if the bill doesn't pass, you know something very under-handed is going on. . .

keep up the pressure on this derelict just to make him so uncomfortable that he wants out of his seat as, as usual, minority leader
- no program can be advanced if the "leader" continues to strive to be 2nd fiddle
- especially to comrade schumer who will stab him in the back when his usefulness runs out and
- lankford should be relegated to a back bench on the Repub side of the Senate

Mitch is not against it. Rather he knows he doesn't have the votes and needs time to apply some pressure to get it passed.

Huh. Turtle must have been shown the Tucker Carlson interview with Bret Weinstein. In the interview, it is shown that the chicoms set up a transit camp in the Darien Gap in Columbia/Panama are infiltrating the illegals with military-age men who refused to disclose why they were heading toward America. Then his chicom wife must have told him to reverse course on supporting the bill.

Ole Chucky is making a big deal out of the fact that it's a bipartisan piece of legislation. What happened Mitch, did you finally check with the people of your state and ask them. That can't be it, no one in DC ever does that. What clowns we have running the country.

That so called border security bill that was designed by leftist and socialist Democrat activists and lobbyists is obviously bogus, as no legitimate border security bill would allow 5,000 illegal aliens a day or over 1,800,000 illegal aliens each year to gain entry to the USA before effective borderline enforcement measures could be commenced to stop that unlawful flow of illegal aliens into the USA. Common sense would tell you that any legitimate border security bill would set a target of allowing zero illegal aliens into the USA. Any wimpy Republican or RINO who votes for such an obviously bogus bill would be committing long-term political suicide, especially in this election year, for the Republican Party. We are about to see how many of them are willing to do that very shortly.
Biden caused the out of control border by encouraging and inviting unlimited numbers of Third World poor and uneducated illegal aliens to “surge” to the US borders and unlawfully enter the USA if they wanted to apply for asylum in the USA as far back as the 2020 Democrat debates. As a career DC politician Biden had to know that historically borderline generated asylum cases heard in the US immigration courts resulted in about a 90% denial rate after the cases were found to be either fraudulent or were filed by illegal aliens who came into the USA for economic purposes, like to take a US job or commit criminal offenses and as such were not lawfully entitled to a grant of asylum. So Biden’s motive had to be to allow as many Third World origin illegal aliens into the USA as possible who in accordance with Democrat identity politics are considered to be members of minority groups. Biden is a 101% corrupt and partisan liberal Democrat politician who is being managed by an Obama aligned leftist and socialist Democrat crew. He is not about to enforce the immigration laws against those Third World origin illegal aliens who he and the leftist and socialist Democrats believe will constitute a new leftist and socialist Democrat support and voter constituency in the years ahead, after the leftist and socialist Democrats take their next planned step, get the wimpy Republicans to cave again, and grant just about the entire illegal alien population in the USA a Democrat designed “path to citizenship” amnesty and transform them into tens of millions of future leftist and socialist Democrat supporters and voters who would fully support the leftist and socialist political agenda by keeping the leftist and socialist Democrats in permanent political control of the USA, leading to transforming the country into a socialist utopia, and pushing the wimpy Republicans into political oblivion. Biden and the leftist and socialist Democrats certainly would not be supporting those “open border” schemes if they ever thought that more than a very small percentage of the incoming illegal alien masses would ever become conservative or MAGA Republican supporters and voters, you can bet your boots on that.

I guess Mitch finally read the bill and saw what a sellout it was to the open boarders Democrats.
