Hannity's staff has been sending emails to Republican Congressmen trying to sway their votes. What a douche.

How utterly silly. Imagine the delusion to set a deadline for answers from people who don't work for you and owe you no response other than a form letter.

Speaking of delusions, what's with this talk of "wide open borders"? I don't dip my head into the conservative new bubble enough to know what they're talking about. Did Biden bulldoze Trump's glorious wall that definitely got built?

[–] Krackalot@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Actually, he's building more, only because it's already earmarked for the wall, and he couldn't get the funds re appropriated. About the open borders thing. It's been one of their claims for years. Get ready, it's almost time for the every four year immigrant caravan to approach the border. Better vote conservative, or they'll tek ur jerbs!

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

Exactly. They keep throwing around the term "crisis at the border" as if there's some new impending catastrophe that only voting Republican will solve.

I just wish more people pushed back and said "What do you mean a wide open border? Didn't your guy just fix that? Oh he didn't? Then why would you want to elect him again?"

It's an implicit threat. It's clear that if they don't give him an answer that satisfies him, and the only such answer is that they will support Gym, then he will turn all the MAGA voters against them.
