Voting for lemons

"Want to fix the immigration mess before the election? There are two ways. One can happen today. Biden can reverse all his executive orders which reversed Trump's immigration policies. Or - have the Senate pass HR-2 and then have Biden sign it into law."

What is the number one issue in the country right now? The one most voters are concerned about? Immigration. Our border issues.  Yes, and yes. Yesterday with the failed vote to rid the country of DHS Secretary Mayorkas, EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT voted against impeachment. In fact, Al Green, who was undergoing surgery, had to be wheeled into the House chamber in his scrubs, just so he could vote for the very flawed Alejandro Mayorkas.

But - with the house being split almost in half by party, four Republicans voted to keep this guy in office. Some for strategic reasons, others for not. Lessons learned? The same lesson we have known for years. Democrats will circle the wagons to protect their own. No matter how inept or flawed someone is, Democrats will stick by that person like glue. Ergo, that is why Dean Phillips is looked upon as a traitor right now by the Dems. Republicans on the other hand, do constant purity tests, and often throw their own under the bus.

Democrats constantly vote for lemons. Look at Minnesota. Ellison as AG? Walz as Governor? Dayton as Govenor? Flanigan as Lt. Gov.? The Minneapolis City Council? The St. Paul City Council? Nationwide, I could go on and on. Democrats have one objective - power. They don't give two shouts and a holler how screwed up a candidate is, just so long they can keep the blues in power. Republicans on the other side, with fall on their swords, initiate circular firing squads, and eat their young just for purity. Many an election has been lost because of that practice. As one famous politician once said, "You can't govern if you don't win". Democrats took that to heart - Republicans blew it off.

Oh, we can't forget about Biden and his "diverse" cabinet. He mentioned that again yesterday. Biden did not care how qualified any of his minions were, just that they "checked some kind of DEI box". Or look at Eric Adams the other day. Showing off the NYC City Council. "Have you ever seen this much chocolate?", Adams said with glee? "Chocolate"? Really Mayor Adams? You are an idiot sir. How about their qualifications instead of their color? 

I guess there might be another vote for impeachment next week. Or not. But who cares? Even if it succeeds, it will die in the Senate. Or if the Senate would vote to remove, Biden would just put another stooge in that spot to do his bidding. BTW - did you hear that Mayorkas was a consultant in putting together the failed compromise (and bipartisan) immigration bill in the Senate? No wonder it stunk. 

Want to fix the immigration mess before the election? There are two ways. One can happen today. Biden can reverse all his executive orders which reversed Trump's immigration policies. Or - have the Senate pass HR-2 and then have Biden sign it into law. Other than that, our immigration mess will remain a mess until election day. And then we will have to wait until next January when Trump can fix things (again). SMH.,,
