@Mario
I hope Trump doesn't run because I prefer DeSantis (so some kind of indictment before Presidential campaigns would be a blessing) , but be aware Empty Wheel pushed the Russian collusion story for years with all sorts of massively detailed articles and it turned out to be bullshit.A casual look at the headlines on her website plainly shows she is partisan.
That all being said, I wouldn't be surprised that Trump has fucked something up with his cavalier attitude.

@Frank US politics is a mystery to me, but tbh so is UK politics these days
I got interested as I follow some senior US ex-military and ex-intel types on Ukraine who made very clear the rules and processes and declassification and storage requirements on classified documents ... Trump can't 'magically' declassify, and Kash Patel lacks clearance now, so is likely implicated if he's accessed them

I think this is the 3rd time in the past couple of years the exact same error has been made?
Biden apparently changing the US policy on Taiwan, then the White House correcting the recordDeliberate ambiguity?

What are the odds he's smart and competent enough to constantly push such a geopolitical strategy when we contrast that to practically every other aspect of his public life?

Irony: When you declare yourself a "Sanctuary City" to protect illegal immigrants, work to prevent Federal agencies tackling illegal immigration, and people take you at your word.

@Victor-Meldrew this is a fuckin brilliant move by these Republican Governors. It good to see these democrats squeal because of a problem they have created.
-
@Victor-Meldrew In addition the Dems don't give a damn about these people, except for a potential fraudulent vote. As per usual if they can get more money to spend they will. Declaring a state of emergency!!! What nerve when the border states are getting overwhelmed by people crossing the borders. There was an article about how the coroners in Houston, I think, were no longer accepting the bodies of dead immigrants as they are so overwhelmed.

It's not really a Republican v Democrat thing though.

I'd say the vast majority of political leaders doing this would be Republican.
There might be exceptions, such as in this case where the mayor knows if he doesn't do something, he won't be reelected.It's a great move showcasing the blatant hypocrisy of these blue state leaders with their "sanctuary" cities. I hope they keep doing it.

@Victor-Meldrew ok 95 to 5 percent. Initiated by the republicans but yes some border dems are fed up because their constituents are.

From what I've read, it's a bit more than that with an increasing number of Democrats expressing concern and criticising Biden. Whether that concern is genuine or they are just worried about the mid-terms is another thing

In the case of Texas they've been under Republican leadership for what, the last 8+ years? Seems like borders and migrants are constant issues but what has been improved under current (state) leadership?

@Paekakboyz
The border is controlled by federal policy isn't it? -
