Pelosi backs down/ McConnell Victorious
“In order to get resources to the children fastest, we will reluctantly pass the Senate bill. As we pass the Senate bill, we will do so with a Battle Cry as to how we go forward to protect children in a way that truly honors their dignity and worth,” she wrote in a letter to colleagues..
The House just approved the Senate Bill for border funding by a vote of 305-102.
Senate Leader Mitch McConnell was able to put together a bipartisan bill which would fund the border. It put House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a difficult position between her radical wing and the political considerations of the democrat moderates who won the House for the democratic Party in the 2018 election.
Some were stressed!
"The decision is sure to fuel new unrest inside the caucus. Perhaps the most outspoken member of the progressive wing, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., had declared "Hell no" to voting on the Senate bill."

All Hail the Grim Reaper!!!!!
The rapid-fire sequence of events Thursday afternoon came after Republicans persistently called on House Democrats to pass the Senate bill in its “clean” form, noting that the White House said it would sign that bill. The White House had threatened to veto the House version.
“The Shelby-Leahy legislation has unified the Appropriations Committee. It has unified the Senate. The administration would sign it into law,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in a statement. “So all our House colleagues need to do to help the men, women, and children on the border this week is pass this unifying bipartisan bill and send it on to the president.”
Mitch, You son of a gun! You did it again!
Another victory for the president
The Democrats continue to crack, cave, and fall apart. Too many House and Senate Democrats will not be willing to continue this charade if it negatively impacts their reelection chances. AOC can sit and sulk, or pout, or whatever she is doing in the picture. Her star continues to dim.
Using this tragedy in a political cartoon is heinous. Shame on the "cartoonist" and the editor, publisher and printer.
There was nothing lower than calling young Baron Trump autistic. I guess it takes a liberal!
Don't try to defend this.
You can't complain if you were silent when Trump's children were targeted. Were you silent?
I love summertime but the outdoors can bring those pesky gnats buzzing around you ear. I'll have to get out the bug repellant.
It's time for my kicking boots.
You're defending the CARTOON. Its heinous to politicize this tragedy.
TELL BETO O"ROURKE!
Lol, I once had a friend who referred to country music as "shit kickin' music".
because only dems can do that?
Oh, good morning!
Did you forget what was said about young Barron?
What's sauce for the goose, etc., etc.
The point being made in the cartoon is that the Democrats are directly responsible for all the problems at the border, including the deaths of this man and his daughter.
They have not done a damn thing to improve the situation down there, and that is a FACT
Like the FLOTUS?
Can't be worse than what many on the right said about Obama's daughters.
Good for her...I am glad she did.
AOC can bite one.
It's nice to something get done, but it's also amazing and disgraceful that House Democrats wanted to use this humanitarian crisis as a lever to cut ICE funding.
