Remains of the Republic, or McConnell’s End

One aspect of the immigration bill that just bit the dust (at least for now; it will almost certainly rise from the dead to haunt us again at some point), that no one seems to recognize, is the fact that it massively funded criminal activity by the Federal government as well as States and local governments as well as NGOs. To me this is an amazing thing: Congress attempting to pass a law that funded the results of the Federal government's own criminal activity; that funded an army of activists in NGOs working in conjunction with Mexican drug cartels to facilitate and support the illegal policies of the Biden administration. The idea that NGOs would receive federal funding to assist in law breaking is so far beyond the pale that no one can claim America is a Republic based on the rule of law. Rather, anything goes. That has been the case for a long time. The bill also would have provided vast amounts of money to sanctuary States and local governments to manage the migrant crisis that exists in these locations because the non sanctuary States that are trying to follow the law, but are inundated by illegal immigrants, have been sending illegal immigrants to Sanctuary States and cities at their own expense, while resisting the illegal policies of the Federal government.

And if you don't think the action of the Biden administration to "pause" new natural gas projects was done out of malign motives (not so much malign adults, but malign juveniles, which Biden, no matter his age, has never stopped being) rather than a genuine concern for the planet, then you have been overdosing on those microdoses of hallucinogens.

Without question, Biden's immigration policies are massively illegal. Yet nothing is done by the Federal government to countermand his policies. The attempted Mayorkas impeachment was sabotaged by a few Republicans and the entire Democrat caucus in the House. Perhaps they'll try again. The Senate of course will not convict, but it would be important to make them vote on Impeachment articles, as Mayorkas is clearly violating the law he is sworn to uphold. And he's celebrated for it by every Democrat in the nation. I would call this invasion an insurrection engineered by Democrats in power, one intended to overthrow the American Constitutional Republic and replace it with an authoritarian one party state, a la Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and etc.

Am I the only person in the country who holds this perspective?

I would like to hear John Yoo or Richard Epstein or Jonathan Hurley or Alan Dershowitz expound on the legality of Congress trying to fund illegal federal government and sanctuary city and state policies inciting, aiding and abetting illegal immigration, and NGOs collaborating with and facilitating human trafficking by terrorist drug cartels, thereby allowing them to continue to flood the country with fentanyl and heroin.

The money the cartels are using to buy off Obrador comes in large part courtesy of the US Federal government. And we are shocked, shocked that Obrador is being bought by the drug cartels. But the US has in essence created a narco state in Mexico by aiding, abetting, and funding the cartels (and also arming them: Remember, Obama and Holder ran guns to those cartels, showing that any Democrat President can commit whatever atrocities he or she desires, without concern for personal consequences). I for one (and apparently I am the only one) object. Yes, some Republican Senators managed to stop the monstrous bill. And Cruz is calling for McConnell to step down, as well he should, because he aided and abetted and dissembled and obfuscated and schemed to get this taxpayer funding for illegal federal behavior through the Senate.

And since when is the Senate allowed to initiate spending bills? That is the prerogative of the House exclusively. The Constitution honored in Washington only in the breach.

And, further, what is Hur doing deciding not to prosecute? That is not his prerogative at all. If he found that Biden criminally, willfully retained and disclosed classified documents as VP or Senator or when out of government (certainly high crimes), which he did, he is not in a position to charge and prosecute a sitting President. That can only be done via Impeachment in the House, conviction in the Senate, and then and only then could Biden be prosecuted. He should present his findings of criminality to the House and let the House decide whether to Impeach or not, and if the House impeaches, see what happens in a Senate trial. If Biden is convicted and thrown out of office, then it can be decided whether to prosecute criminally or not. Or Harris can pardon Biden, as Ford did Nixon. Who is Hur to make that call? To me this is the buncombe of all buncombe, the mother of all malarkey. C'mon, man. This is not how any of this is done. It seems like Washington has gone so far off the reservation it is not even on the planet.

Or am I completely off base? Please, someone explain all of this to me.

A majority of the cabinet is not going to invoke the 25th Amendment, unless whoever is running the Democrat party tells them to (Cruz says that will happen at the Convention?). What is the House waiting for? What saith Sen Kennedy of Louisiana? Speak up! Give the Speaker (he's from your State; you should have some influence here) a little instruction in process and the Constitution.

Or am I completely off the wall? Have I lost my mind? Feels like it.
