Why do white men get away with lying through their teeth in the press? (Rhetorical)

They folded. They don't vote in alignment with their constituents.
4. Whatever happened to holding the party line? Why is it that Republicans can do this simple task, but democrats fail at it?!?
--> 2 Hispanic Reps, 1 Black Rep, and 1 White Rep.
Why does this matter? 1. DHS already has enough funding. It was funded through the Big Bullschit Bill. 2. Funding w/out promises and policies that speak to changes in how the money will be used is reckless. 3. I would expect them to know better i
