CNN had a story this morning where the Governor of Georgia was blaming President Biden for [View all]

the killing of a nursing student from an undocumented person.

What CNN should have mentioned, but didn't, was that the failure of the republicans to pass the bipartisan immigration bill.

In effect, the press intentionally or unintentionally campaigning for the republicans, by not telling the full story.

This is similar bullshit that was played against Dukakis when he ran for president.

We really need to get out there and push back on this bullshit, and it is way past due to start calling out the significant number of republicans in congress as supporters of the insurrection to try and overthrow our government, their refusal to work with Democrats to pass any legislation on immigration, support for Ukraine, etc.

It is very clear that this election will be between Biden and trump, and it is time to go into general election mode, because the republicans sure are.
