https://www.huffpost.com/entry/congress-republicans-alejandro-mayorkas-impeachment-border-deal-failures_n_65c2d67ae4b093b2e7816d96 WASHINGTON ― Tuesday was a deeply embarrassing day for Republicans in the U.S. Capitol.
House Speaker Mike Johnson’s big push to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas failed spectacularly following high drama and yelling on the House floor, falling short by just one vote. Minutes later, a Republican bill to send U.S. aid to Israel went down in flames due to bipartisan opposition. Earlier in the day, Senate Republicans officially killed the border security package the party had cried out for only months earlier.
“I would have thought they would have known [the whip count]. They’re good on the other side of that,” Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), a member of the far-right House Freedom Caucus, told reporters after the impeachment vote failed. “Is it that hard?”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) all but said Democrats outsmarted Republicans by not telling them how many of their members would be present for the impeachment vote. Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) had been absent for medical reasons but unexpectedly appeared Tuesday for the vote. His vote made all the difference in tanking the impeachment effort.
“They hid one of their members,” Greene told reporters after the vote. “Waiting till the last minute, watching to see our votes, trying to throw us off on the numbers that we had versus the numbers they had. So, yeah, that was a strategy in play tonight.”

The trio of failures, just over a month into a presidential election year where they hope to project competence and win over swing voters disappointed in President Joe Biden, combines to paint a grim picture of the GOP’s ability to govern. Instead, the party is showing voters a House leader who can’t count votes, a Senate leader who is incapable of persuading his conference and a party that is both unwilling to compromise with Democrats and unable to wrangle votes for its own agenda.

The tied impeachment vote even had some members of the GOP caucus questioning one of the few congressional successes of recent months, the ouster of Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), the federally indicted serial fabulist. The presence of either Santos or former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who resigned from his seat rather than remain a rank-and-file member, likely would’ve given the GOP enough votes to impeach Mayorkas.>Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) said Republicans have to ask themselves if “expelling George Santos was actually worth it,” according to a reporter for The Independent.

And no, it was a pretty good day.
No aid for Israel. No shitty border deal that wouldn't change anything and a Homeland security traitor so bad he missed being impeached by 1 vote.
ChuggingCumPost sure does like it's spin though.

Murphy, who spent months crafting the deal with Lankford, vented about their reversal as soon as the bill was unveiled.

>>1264538 Hey look at that, the faggot has to insert his own faggotry in order to make his lies make sense.
The bill also adds 5k asylum processors, up from the few hundred we currently have, to kill the backlog and allow for same day asylum claims.
So a majority of those crossings will result in an asylum claim that will be rejected on average and result in deportation.
Which is bad for Republicunts, since they love illegal labor and bitching about a problem they create.

The only immigration bill they'll be willing to pass is the one they can do by themselves without any input from Democrats.
Hint: The last time they've been able to pass a bill like that was about 100 years ago. Its not going to happen again.
