Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) voiced his skepticism of a deal being crafted in the Senate to pair border and migration policy changes with Ukraine aid, and said that now is not the time for comprehe…
Especially because in the GOP world, the US has open borders, and millions of illegal immigrants are coming in droves. So if that’s true, why delay any solution to the problem? Because the problem does not exist.
The problem actually exists (that’s why there’s a bill which Democrats also support), but it generates great political ads, so why would Republicans want to fix it? They are not interested in the solution, just the problem.
Just because they scream about it every day doesn’t make it true. Please show me factual sources that millions of illegal immigrants are crossing the border every single day. Show sources on how these immigrants are also all criminals. And show sources for how open the border is since according to the GOP people are just walking in.
My brain always associated pot with weed… probably from all the pot… but pot just meant potty… I don’t know how I survived this long, or why people pay me money to solve problems.
Pot as a word for toilet actually comes from the chamber pot.
There are a bunch of other words for a toilet, but tracking down their origins is hard.
For example, calling it a John could refer to the inventor of the flush toilet, John Harington, or as a corruption for an earlier term the Jakes/Jacks. (Kit Harington is a relation)
Jake and Jack were very common names in medieval England, much like John is today. So if you were a noble, your chamber pot would be emptied by a commoner, and the stand in name was Jake.
Other toilet names like bog or loo come from the smell.
The head was traditionally located at the front of ships, especially in the British navy…
There are dozens more (in English alone), but origins are hard to track down for most of them.
This was your fucking idea! We don’t have to do comprehensive immigration reform, but the GOP demanded it be done before funding support for Ukraine.
It’s a transparent stall tactic. “Now is not the time to shit, but I refuse to get off the pot.”

Oh, you don’t understand how Trumpers work at all.
I never said millions are crossing the borders, I just said it is a problem, and in some states it is more visible than others.
Republicans concentrate on the physical border, but in reality is that the majority of illegals come legally and overstay on their visas.
I bet they’re banking on it not passing, then running ads on how Biden allows “illegals” to rape white women in swing states.
He is holding it because there is a chance of it passing.
They want “boarder security” not “immigration reform”. They can campaign to their base on the first but not the second.
One means “shoot brown people” and one means “hire more judges”.
You just made me realize that I’m an idiot.

Bog is swamp hence the smell reference
