    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Wed Feb 7 12:26:48 2024
    The Spectator's Amber Duke on whether Casey DeSantis laments that Ron
    was unable to find a funder among Miriam Adelson, Robert Bigelow,
    Walter Buckley, Betsy DeVos, Ken Griffin, Julia Koch, Bernie Marcus,
    Lachlan Murdoch, Thomas Peterffy, Bruce Rauner, Chris Reyes, David
    Sacks and Steve Wynn to sponsor advertisements on Lachlan Murdoch's
    FoxNews.COM reminding legacy American proles that Donald Trump
    endorsed Mitch McConnell and Jim Lankford: <URL:https://thespectator.com/newsletter/senator-lankford-defends-his-immigration-deal-dc-diary-01-29-2024/>
    | All of this suggests he will have a tough job selling such a
    | monstrosity to his more conservative colleagues in the House.
    | Speaker Mike Johnson has held firm on the idea that his chamber will
    | accept nothing except HR-2 -- a bill containing actual border
    | security measures, like resuming construction of the border wall,
    | instituting mandatory E-Verify and the Flores Settlement. Johnson
    | says a Senate-backed border deal is a nonstarter in the House.
    | Lankford is unlikely to win over much support by accusing his
    | colleagues of balking on a border deal because it's an "election
    | year," playing into Democrats' claims that the GOP is intentionally
    | tanking the deal to make Biden look bad. President Joe Biden and his
    | allies have indeed seized on the GOP infighting, blaming
    | conservatives who want a meaningful border security package as
    | opposed to amnesty-lite for the current mess at the border.

    "Trump opposed this branch as well; while he attempted to win back
    the Reagan Dems, the mainstay of his coalition was what had been the
    Tea Party before--small business owners. He ran on deregulation and
    the rights of "workers"--taxpayers, small biz owners, white property
    owners." - Bronze Age Pervert <URL:https://twitter.com/bronzeagemantis/status/1629546383551131648>
