The House GOP Border Plan Just Blew Up In Its Face

[Peacetrain]

It is like Keystone Cops time with the GOP.. the whole article is at the link.. but I pulled out one thing because this is what floored me..the GOP leadership saying that the President could move without congressional action..

Am I the only one who just finds that insane.. this is exactly what they decided to sue him over yesterday.. (what is so funny is that the President made the moves he is being sued over for the Republicans ) You just cannot make this stuff up..

"This situation shows the intense concern within our conference – and among the American people – about the need to ensure the security of our borders and the president’s refusal to faithfully execute our laws," the GOP leaders — Boehner, Scalise, incoming House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and House Republican Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers — said in a joint statement.

The four leaders also argued Obama can move forward and improve the situation on the border "without congressional action."

1. Just another in a long line of absolute proof that ALL opposition to Obama FROM THE RIGHT

as opposed to FROM THE LEFT is SOLELY ABOUT his skin color and name

[Peacetrain]

2. My head is just spinning

I could not believe what I was reading.. I am sure the jaws are dropping at the White House too..

Edit to add..the hate is deep on their side.. very deep

[randys1]

3. Yet I can assure you the typical teaparty moron has no clue why this is insane

[Peacetrain]

5. Would'nt you love to be a fly on the wall right now

like dogs chasing their tails, trying to explain how their positions change from moment to moment....

[randys1]

19. Do they realize they are this stupid? Remember, reporters have told us these

teaparty members are very dumb, I mean actually dumb, duh me no speak too good

dumb...

4. He should do it.

I don't care how much they complain when he does exactly what they say they want him to do. He should do it.

[Louisiana1976]

24. Yes. He should take action regardless of what the Repubs say or do.

[malaise]

6. Love your subject

Delish!!!

[Peacetrain]

8. ;)

[pinto]

7. Sadly ironic, but LOL. They are ridiculous. Is that a sue-able offense?

[Peacetrain]

9. Yep.. exactly what they decided to sue him about yesterday.. they want him to do today

[pinto]

12. Yeah. I bet Boehner is looking forward to leaving town for five weeks.

Oy, it's pathetic.

[Peacetrain]

14. pinto, I am sitting here laughing so hard

I have tears welling up..

[pinto]

15. Same here.

(ed to add) Yet it is a real abrogation of responsibility in all seriousness.

[ChazInAz]

27. It's drunk o'clock!

[gordianot]

10. So if Obama takes no action will they sue him for that?

Every day it gets more and more ridiculous!

[Peacetrain]

11. Oh my GOD.. you are right!!

at the same time..

[gratuitous]

26. Yes; also if Obama does take action

These fuckers have just about finished disappearing up their own assholes. It would be real nice if the popular media would report this clown show in the stark terms that it is playing out, but I predict they will once again provide cover for Republicans' completely deranged behavior.

[n2doc]

13. And after Obama takes action, They can sue him over it

What a loony bin the House has become.

[Peacetrain]

16. Yep.. at the same time...or as

someone else said.. sue him for not taking action independent of the congress.. can you believe this

[pinboy3niner]

17. If you're Obama, the new adage is you're sued if you do and sued if you don't. nt

[DAMANgoldberg]

20. Classic...

The DNC should use that in an ad.

[BumRushDaShow]

29. DUzy!

"Sued if you do and sued if you don't".

[pinboy3niner]

30. I know someone who has a knack for mangling sayings in a way that's often hilarious

My favorite is "You're doomed if you do and doomed if you don't."

[randome]

18. 'Plan'?

21. Uhmmmm, John-boy, with what for money?

You know, that purse you have power over?

Yeah, motherfucker, THAT money.

The Prexy can't do fuck-all without funding, you drunken, carrot-faced nitwit.

[samsingh]

22. repug logic - we are useful - you do the right thing -we will then sue

[Shrike47]

23. I think their logic is "we need to sue you for cover with our base; please ignore and do right thing

The smarter ones are caught in the cross fire.

[PatrynXX]

32. under which they have no authority

this technically trodding over the constitution... oops

[Louisiana1976]

25. The Repubs are just playing a game with Obama. Whatever he does or doesn't do is wrong.

[samsingh]

36. they have made that clear

[Ed Suspicious]

28. Like blind mice stepping in their own poop.

[PatrynXX]

31. The four leaders also argued Obama can move forward and improve the situation on the border "without

wait what? thought they wanted to make sure he couldn't move forward. X_X make up your minds

[LevelB]

33. I will be curious to see

How this gets spun into "both sides do it."

B.

[blkmusclmachine]

34. The GOP Ship of Fools

[Lobo27]

35. He should do something similar to the deferred act.

I want to see how they would react.
