Well, howdy there, internet people.
Let's bow again.
So today we are going to talk about the Senate plan,
the Senate compromise, and what was unveiled.
We will go over it briefly.
We're not gonna get into the details
because it may not matter.
So we will talk about that,
and then we will talk about the elephant in the room
over in the house.
So if you have no idea what I'm talking about,
The Senate, Republicans and Democrats in the Senate,
worked together, came out with this bipartisan agreement,
this deal, and it addresses everything.
Aid for Ukraine, Israel.
There's money for deterring China
in the Indo-Pacific region.
There's billions for the border, okay?
Republicans and Democrats in the Senate,
they're like, okay, we'll support this.
Biden is behind it.
Republicans in the House, they're no.
They're not behind it at the moment.
They've decided that they may not support this.
And the reason is, honestly, it's
one of those things that's so bold.
You can't even be mad, really.
I mean, bold is the only term for it.
I have never seen politicians bank on their base being gullible to this degree ever.
And this includes the Trump years, mind you.
Basically, Republicans in the House are going to bank on the idea that they can sell their
base on the idea that they care about the border and that it's an emergency
that they have to do something about but they're not going to do anything about
it because billions for the border and automatic shutdowns in locations of the
border, that's actually bad from their perspective. I have no idea how they
actually plan on framing this for their base, but the reality of it is at the end
of the day, Republicans in the House, particularly the Twitter caucus, they
need a border that they can tell their bases in disarray. They need a scary
border otherwise they don't have anything to campaign on. So the money, the
billions, tens of billions that would be going to the border, they're gonna vote
against it and try to convince their base that that's somehow good and is
going to secure the border somehow. And it really does seem like their entire
plan is to bank on their base being gullible enough to fall for this. I
haven't actually seen any talking points emerge that would be even remotely
convincing, it really does just... it's almost like large segments of the
Republicans in the House got together and they were like, you know what, our base,
they'll believe anything. So let's just tell them that everything that we wanted,
that we got, let's tell them we don't want it anymore, that it's actually bad,
and that us not acting on the things that we've said we would act on, that we
We just have to do it that way, otherwise, immigrants, they are actively going to try
to subvert tens of billions of dollars going to the border because they need that as a
campaign issue.
And that seems to be the plan.
That seems to be what House Republicans are going to try to do.
Now Republicans in the Senate, again a more deliberative body, they don't seem to think
that their base is that easily manipulated.
And that really has to do with the fact that senators have to run statewide.
So they can't insulate themselves in gerrymandered districts that they've cut the funding in.
for education. So they won't be able to play their bass as easily. I'm again it's
one of those things it's so bold you can't be mad like if they're able to
pull it off I mean that's just amazing like yeah I mean yes it's it's a horrible
you know, set of commentary on the state of the American education system and the
United States in general. But at the same time, I mean, it's ambitious. I'll give you
that. So the compromise has been reached. The Senate is behind it. The White House
is behind it. Republicans in the House at this moment, it appears like they're
going to oppose it while pretending that they want what's in it, but they don't
actually want it until later because they need to be able to scare, they need
to be able to scare old white people into voting for them. And that's
That's what they've chosen to do it.
They need it for the election.
Anyway, it's just a thought, y'all have a good day.
