    I’m not up to speed with the whole border policy thing aside from knowing that kids are still in cages, which is pretty much all I need to know

    having said that, isn’t this essentially just immediately accepting defeat to the republicans before the conflict even starts? isn’t this sternly-worded statement just “okay okay, I’ll do what you want, happy now?”, or am I reading it wrong?

      I mean he was sort of doing what they want anyway before this all started is my understanding. The whole conflict was all pretty vibes based, Biden has continued Trump’s policies at the border. So he’d probably be doing what they want anyway at the border

      Oh it gets even worse. This is what Biden’s offering in exchange for more money for the Gaza genocide and for Ukraine. A trifecta of shit.
