It's not a reversal in any way, but a continuation of a policy of obstructing aid to Ukraine to help Russia, because Republican have chosen to follow Trump, and be traitors against USA and democracy.
Anyone who thought otherwise and actually believed them is an idiot. And it's time Republicans realize that Trump and Putin are losers.
If Trump wins the election, USA will lose the core values it was founded on.

Once again, GOP proving that they never operate in good faith.

How are they going to keep blaming Biden for doing nothing about the border if they allow him to do something about the border?

You guys just don't get it.

It was never about the border. It was never about Ukraine aid. It's about hurting Americans in hopes that they'll blame Biden.

If I had a nickel for every time congressional GOPsters killed their own bill on purpose because Trump threw a hissy fit, I'd have two nickels.

That isn't much, but it's still bizarre that they let it happen twice.

Who the fuck could actually be surprised by this?

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) also recommended to his members in the meeting that they should vote to block the package from moving forward, according to Punchbowl News.

The recommendation is particularly stunning given that McConnell had cheered the negotiations over border policy for months. Just hours earlier on the Senate floor, McConnell touted the legislation, saying its billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan are needed to counter aggression from dictators and terrorists around the globe.

It's not your usual election year fake "immigrant caravan;" It's the Mitch McConnell Immigrant Caravan that he and the GOP are inviting into the country by killing this legislation. Ole Open Borders Mitch, as they call him. Too bad they didn't give President Biden the tools he needed to stop the big, bad fake caravan.

It really is time to force them to actually stand there and talk, rather than just threaten to fillabuster.

Because the only goal of the GOP is to DoS the system to keep loopholes open for the oligarchy to continue privateering (legal piracy).

The South is still run by the slave traitor trash from 150 years ago, except we are the exploited now. Democrats are right wing, Republicans are jihadists, and there is no Left in the USA.

It's not about the policy, it's not about just making Biden look bad. It's about burning down the country to grab control of the ash heap

I am so sick of Republicans bowing down to Donald Trump. He is such a a vile man and yet they have done nothing but put him before the country.

I just don't get it. Growing up in the 80s and 90s if you had anything even mentioning against Russia it would pass with flying colors. Now it seems that just doesn't exist anymore.

Their bluff was called.

I wonder if anyone will tell the fauxbrained that the cons have no intent on proper governance. I bet if they could have kept SCOTUS from taking away human rights, they would have done that, too. They became the dog that caught the car on that, and they obviously don't want the same to happen with the border.

Guess who is real happy about this?

One hint: his name rhymes with tootin'.

Personal theory, this absolute clusterfuck of a situation the Republicans got themselves in wouldn't have happened without the ouster of McCarthy.

McCarthy is a political operator and probably would have gotten a much smaller bill done on just Ukraine/Israel back in October. Or, just rip the bandaid off and say no more Ukraine funding ever, everyone forgets by the election, and if something goes wrong in Ukraine everyone blames Biden.

Instead, Johnson pretends he'd be for Ukraine funding if only there was border funding which he thinks kills it except the Senate Republicans actually want Ukraine funding, Israel funding, and border funding. So they call his bluff (and/or take him at his word) and actually start negotiating.

And then it takes 4 months so it's election season now, and Republicans have to either give Biden another bipartisan win and lose a main attack against him, or go back on their word and reject the deal they asked for which makes them look incompetent, and gives them the blame if anything bad happens at the border or in Ukraine (or in Israel).

It's just such a bad spot to be in and it's in an election year. And an experienced Speaker wouldn't have landed here.

May the GOP drown in their own shit.

Good. The "border crisis" provisions were ridiculous. This bill was mostly smoke anyway. What we need is a separate funding bill for Ukraine and a separate, comprehensive reform bill for immigration to make it easier to immigrate legally, to add funding for visa/asylum processing, and to fund better care for those in US custody awaiting processing. The border "security" shit they're trying to push is a dog and pony show giveaway to Republicans and further militarizes one of the most corrupt, ineffective, and unaccountable organizations in the entire US government (ICE & border patrol)

The GOP had a dog catch the car moment when they overturned Roe v Wade. Can't let that happen with immigration as well.

what they have successfully done is transfer the boat anchor that immigration and the order is from biden to themselves, and they are running on the border being broken and unsafe.

bold strategy. let's see how it plays out.

Fuck sake :/

Actually good. That border law was barbaric.

Putin pays better than their immigrant hating voter base.
