It has become clear that many are not working in the best interests of the country, but rather for narrowly defined personal purposes.
The situation with the currently proposed combined border control, Israeli aid, and Ukrainian aid bill is the case in point.
Former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney, (R-WY) described the situation as follows:
“On Trump’s orders, Republicans in Congress are rejecting the border security deal. They’re also abandoning America’s allies in Ukraine. Trump and the [Republicans] are losing the war on purpose in an inexcusable betrayal that will strengthen America’s enemies for years to come.” (X (formerly Twitter))
America needs to deal with the border, but I firmly believe that no one political party has the complete answer. It is through compromise bills where the most important issues of each competing view are addressed that the best and most enduring answers can be found.
America also needs to resoundingly and strongly support its allies Israel and Ukraine--let's stop playing around and get onto the playing field and make a difference.
I remember that the congressional republicans have played this game before, during the end of the Obama administration when they failed to confirm a Supreme Court nominee, choosing instead to wait until after the election, which effectively hamstrung the Supreme Court for about 9 months.
I sincerely hope that We the People can elect a better functioning Congress in November.
