First it was Bitch McConnell, the puppet of China who backed away from this steam pile of feces they call a border security bill in the Senate. Now it appears even pedo himself, James Lankford wouldn’t commit to voting for cloture on this bill, that is scheduled for a vote tomorrow.
Lankford: "Voting against cloture is not, for me, voting against the bill…cloture is, do we get on this and start debating now or do we get on it and debate it later? So it's not voting against the bill, even though I vote against cloture on Wednesday"

Lankford said that would not be the case, and that the bill “closes” the border. However, Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said Sunday night that the bill does not, in fact, close the border – a fact he was celebrating.
Other Republicans have been blasting the bill, with House Speaker Mike Johnson telling Laura Ingraham that, yes, it’s dead on arrival.
“There’s no way we could bring this through the House,” he told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on Monday night. “It would not resolve any of the problems, not reform them in any meaningful way. The broken asylum system, the broken parole process, and all the things that have created this catastrophe.”
Lankford now seems to think that his bill is going nowhere – and he won’t even commit to voting for cloture, giving a word salad of a statement to reporters.
“Voting against cloture is not, for me, voting against the bill,” he said. “Cloture is, do we get on this and start debating now or do we get on it and debate it later? So it’s not voting against the bill, even though I vote against cloture on Wednesday”
