Just a quick partial list of GOP acts of treason during years when the Democrats were in power:
1968: Nixon negotiates with Vietnam (Also see Yes, Nixon Scuttled the Vietnam Peace Talks: It’s been rumored for years. Now we have real proof.)
1984: Reagan negotiates with Iran (Iran-Contra, the presidential cover-up that succeeded) (with possible Houthi consequences even today)
2016: Trump negotiates with Russia
2024: Trump and McConnell sabotage border deal, Speaker Johnson says nothing will pass until Trump elected:
Two things to note here. First, Johnson isn’t saying they won’t consider this bill. He’s saying they won’t consider any bill until Trump is elected. Sherman appears to have accepted the GOP wording — that “Congress can’t solve [the] border until Trump is elected.” But there’s more here. Johnson is saying openly that they won’t pass any bill until Trump is elected. In other words, however out of control they claim the border is they want to keep it that way through November to use it as a political issue. There’s a bipartisan deal but House Republicans are rejecting it out of hand. That’s not terribly surprising. But your political opponents seldom state it so openly. It’s an opening for the White House. Let’s see if they take it.
Also keep an eye on the elite D.C. press. Johnson has just said he refuses to take any action until the election. He’s saying as clearly as he can he wants to hold on to it as a political issue rather than try to pass a bill.
