Now I've Heard Everything - Boehner Edition [View all]

John Boehner is issuing ultimatums to the President on immigration.

House Speaker John Boehner gave President Barack Obama an ultimatum on the border crisis: secure the border or you’re not getting any money.

In a letter to President Obama on Wednesday afternoon, Boehner said the House will not authorize the president’s request for emergency funds unless there are changes to the 2008 human trafficking law that allows immigrants from non-contiguous countries to seek asylum in the U.S., the law Republicans believe is at the root of the surge of immigrants, often minors, fleeing Central America into the United States.

“As I have said many times, the American people will not support providing additional money unless you work with both parties to address the causes of this tragedy,” Boehner wrote.


Boehner Ultimatum

So if I understand Rep. Shit-For-Brains correctly, he sure enough wishes there was some way to change the law. I mean, if only there was some sort of deliberative body in Washington that could revise an existing law and then send it to the President for authorization. Wouldn't that be an awesome fucking idea?

Wait. What? There is? There really is such a deliberative body in Washington? And What's that? Rep. Spray-On-Tan is one of the leaders of that deliberative body? How fucking coincidental is that?

Now he can just just draft a new law to replace the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Reauthorization Act -- which Rep. Numbnuts actually voted for back in 2008. So by all means, let's revise the law to make sex trafficking easier -- just so long as it makes all those brown children on our border go away. Back to unrelenting starvation and violence.

It's the right thing to do.

You're a Republican, Rep. Asshat, and that means you're a god-fearing Christian. I'd like you to open your Bible to Matthew 19:14 and read that verse carefully, and then shove that Bible up your wrinkled ass.

I really can't take much more of these people.
