Mexican drug cartels really seem to have lost their edge.

2. Classic. Of course the pathological liars and prevaricators known as our GOP Senators

Are lying and prevaricating.

It's their 'thing' ... it's what they do.

3. Oh man. This guy.

4. Did the cartels fart in their general direction

and insinuate that they are the offspring of hamsters?

Me tiro un pedo en tu dirección general! Tu madre era un hámster y tu padre olía a bayas de saúco!

5. Cruz's video looks like every episode of Big Foot Hunters

Easily one of the stupidest shows ever on TV.

8. Exactly what I was thinking, lol!

What a bunch of goobers.

7. Heckled by cartels in the audience?

Sounds about right since the Senators were doing a bad comedy routine entitled:

Republicans Love Immigrants


Script:

We are so very concerned about immigrant children and their parents. So concerned we're working day and night. See it's dark out which means night time. We're also worried about personal freedom so many of us are not wearing those annoying masks. If we get Covid, it's all Biden's fault. And the conditions here are ghastly, ghastly. This is a clear sign Joe Biden created a crisis at our border after the splendid management of Donald Trump.

Immigration is also more important than those checks Biden sent everyone or the Covid vaccinations or the lawless measures in Georgia to destroy fair elections. So please, fellow Americans concentrate on what's really important: our day-and-night, exhausting measures to get you to rage and worry endlessly.

Because the hordes are coming. The hordes are here.

THE END

This goes beyond cynical. And it's heartless because it's using the real tragedy of immigration for political theater. If you recall, Senator Cornyn criticized President Biden for concentrating on the 'humane' facets of immigration policy.

Republicans are not merely politically bankrupt; they're morally deficient.

9. These same assholes had no concern about the border when the insurrectionist-in-chief was in charge

Talk about theater

10. None. Hell less than none - negative

They relished in the punitive and supposedly behavior modifying act of separating families. They loved it.
