GOP Immigration WTF?!

MT Greene: Melania Trump Is Proof That Republicans Support Immigration

According to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), it’s simply not fair to say that Republicans are opposed to immigration and the proof of that is their love of former First Lady Melania Trump.

During debate on a Republican border security bill, Newsweek reports, Greene began her comments on immigration by referencing the wife of failed and indicted former president/sex offender Donald Trump.

“I would like to remind everyone that Republicans believe in legal immigration,” Greene said on Wednesday. “As a matter of fact, we are very proud of our former first lady, Melania Trump, who immigrated legally to the United States. But there is a clear difference in policies when we talk about border and security for the United States of America.

“I think it is very important to remind my colleagues across the aisle what our oath of office actually says. We swear an oath that we will support and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

The Georgia Republican added, “That is a very important oath to swear and it is one to uphold but this is not being upheld in the past two years under this administration. We have seen nearly 5 million people cross our border and it is unsustainable.”

Greene’s claims about Melania’s immigration being legal aren’t exactly factual. As a matter of fact, there have been plenty of questions about how she managed to obtain a visa in the first place.

Mrs. Trump immigrated to the United States on an EB-1, or “Einstein visa,” which is reserved for those “of extraordinary ability” and “sustained national and international acclaim.” That usually means people Nobel Prize winners or those who have earned Olympic medals. She has neither of those and later helped her parents obtain U.S. citizenship even though they possess no special skills or awards.

While Greene may want to try and put a happy face on the Republican policy on immigration, the facts are clear: They want to keep just about everyone from coming to the U.S. unless they have connections or marry a rich sexual predator like Donald Trump.

Lauren Boebert Owns Herself By Suggesting She’s Smarter Than Kamala Harris

Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is again displaying her own lack of self-awareness and basic intelligence with an attack she made on Vice President Kamala Harris, whom she accused of not being educated.

Commenting on a video she shared on Twitter of the VP making remarks, Boebert wrote, “The same people who will try and knock me for having a GED think this lady represents intelligence and eloquence. Whoever paid for her education wasted their money.”

As Uproxx rightly notes, Boebert’s reported troubles passing the GED are only one reason she’s seen as being one of the most intellectually-challenged members of Congress.

Of course, Boebert misses the point while believing that her GED is why people pile onto her on a regular basis. She has frequently trashed education to the point where she called to abolish the entire education department. And given that she only acquired her GED a mere few months before being elected to Congress, her interest in pursuing it probably had little to do with actual learning. She’s also stepped in on previous occasions by proposing a lot more time for lawmakers to read bills, so there’s that.

This isn’t the first time Boebert has humiliated herself for all the world to see.

When you act perpetually clueless and moronic, you get labeled as such, and it has nothing at all to do with a GED, as Twitter users quickly reminded the doltish Ms. Boebert.

WATCH A Fox Host Tell James Comer His Biden Investigation Is A Sham: ‘You Don’t Have Any Facts’

Fox News host Steve Doocy reminded House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-KY) that while he made headlines with his press conference on Wednesday, he failed to provide any facts that President Joe Biden or members of his family had been engaged in a influence peddling scheme.

Doocy began by telling Comer, “I know the Republicans said that the smoking gun were these financial records that you were able to subpoena and got your hands on. And your party, the Republican investigators, say that that’s proof of influence peddling by Hunter and James [Biden].”

“But that’s just your suggestion, Doocy continued. “You don’t actually have any facts to that point. You’ve got some circumstantial evidence.”

Doocy also noted, “And the other thing is, of all those names, the one person who didn’t profit is that — there’s no evidence that Joe Biden did anything illegally.”

Comer replied, “But make no mistake, Joe Biden was involved. All these countries that the Bidens were receiving money from were countries that Joe Biden was actively visiting in.”

If so, then where’s the evidence? It sure as hell wasn’t presented at the press conference. As usual, Republicans have lies, but they’re missing any facts.

Here’s the video from Fox News:

Joe Biden Masterfully Trolls Trump Over His Disastrous CNN Town Hall

Failed former president Donald Trump’s Wednesday evening town hall on CNN was 90 minutes of bluster, false bravado, lies, and treasonous statements.

The Washington Post summed up the event this way: “Trump’s CNN town hall: Defending rioters, mocking sexual assault, threatening default.”

He refused to acknowledge he lost the last election. He said he’d pardon rioters at the U.S. Capitol. He condoned sexual assault and smeared a victim. He wouldn’t rule out restoring a policy of separating immigrant families at the border or say if he wanted Ukraine to defeat Russia. He countenanced defaulting on the national debt. And he dodged repeated questions on abortion.

In other words, it as more of the same from a man a vast majority of Americans tell pollsters they don’t trust, don’t like, and have no intention of voting for.

Should Trump win the GOP presidential nomination, he’ll be in a rematch of the 2020 election and facing President Joe Biden, who masterfully trolled Donald with two postings on Twitter.

“It’s simple, folks. Do you want four more years of that? If you don’t, pitch in to our campaign.”

There was also a video from the Biden/Harris campaign that reminds Americans who was responsible for the terror that took place on January 6, 2021.

Trump probably thinks his town hall was a big win. It wasn’t. It only served to remind Americans what they hate about him.

WATCH Jim Jordan Have A Meltdown When A Democrat Calls Him Out For Trashing The FBI

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), who may well be one of the most compromised members of the current U.S. Congress, proved again today that while he loves dishing out attacks on others, he cannot handle being criticized by anyone else.

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the POLICE Act, which proposes to crack down on crimes by immigrants, Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) noted that committee should also take a long look at mass shootings.

“House Republicans have set their sights on defunding and abolishing federal law enforcement agencies,” Dean began. “This is a hypocrisy. It’s an oxymoron, what we’re participating here.”

She added, “Remember, Chairman Jordan has said he wants to use the power of the majority to cut funding for the DOJ and the FBI. Matt Gaetz, Mr. Gaetz, the gentleman from Florida, wants to abolish the ATF.”

The led Jordan to say that the FBI had targeted Catholics: “I do think we should evaluate how the American tax dollar going to that organization is being spent. That to me seems common sense.”

“So heck yes, this committee should look at that,” he added. “We have primary jurisdiction over the Justice Department. And we are doing that.”

Dean: “So it seems to me that it is very clear you support defunding the FBI.”

That’s when Jordan had a hysterical hissy fit.

“I didn’t say that!” he thundered. “I said we’ve got to look at, one of the things we do in this business, in this Congress, is you look at how you appropriate funds.”

“If you don’t want to, if you just wanna keep sending money to the FBI that’s spying on people in church, go right ahead and take that position,” Jordan added.

Gym is still angry with the FBI for carrying out a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago that led to the retrieval of dozens of classified documents taken illegally from the White House by convicted sex offender and former president Donald Trump.
