Stop calling them “Republicans”. They are Nazis.
Exactly. The Republican Party no longer exists. Its now the MAGA Nazi Party, and the Democrats should start routinely referring to them that way.
Half the Democratic party secretly agrees with them
They always were. At least since Nixon.
The main message from Trump supporters is they don't regret anything even if they suffer, long as the right people get hurt. It is impossible to have meaningful society built with people like that as a collective.
In 5 years, Americans who fuck up while visiting Europe or Asia and get deported will have a meltdown thinking they're being sent to Latin America.
Another question is why isn't an active mass violation of human rights (what is a crime in any other industrialized nation) being responded to by the Democrats.
If your representative is Republican, assure that by their refusal to support such a law they are committing a massive wrongdoing against humanity.
If your representative is Democrat, remind them that without immediately responding to this with action and refusal to engage in any other administrative duty, they are complicit.
The future is watching closely the present moment in time, and will not be kind to those who could have acted and yet stood idly by.
Words matter. They are not deporting citizens. They are kidnapping and quite possibly murdering. It’s a crime. Acknowledge this for the crime that it is. Call it human trafficking. But deporting it is not.
Right, so we should add language to the bill that says you can't kidnap and murder US citizens and then see how that's used in court when the other side says they merely deported the person.
Brilliant strategy.
If words matter, I'm curious to know what definition of "deporting" you are using to claim that what they are doing is not deporting people.
Til, I guess to vcan technically deport a citizen.
deport dɪˈpɔːt verb
- expel (a foreigner) from a country, typically on the grounds of illegal status or for having committed a crime.
- exile (a native) to another country.
- conduct oneself in a specified manner. archaic
At least the line is clearly visible now. It's just us vs them.
always has been.

Fascists to the right and do nothings to the left.
The question is. If you got to choose between the two. Which would you choose. Democrats are awful, but imagine how nice it would have been for nothing to happen. Ukraine and Palestine not become worse. Our allies not alienated. Roving squads of redcaps not on the street kidnapping innocent people, AND THEN FORCING THE PUBLIC TO PAY FOR THEIR BONDAGE IN A FORIEGN NATION. DENIED JUSTICE. Nothing, man; what a dream.
I have always thought that when a professional does his job properly, you don't even realize he's there.
He's doing what NEEDS to be done.
I have 138 "pet" names for Donald. None of them are flattering.

House Republicans are traitors
Traitors should be hanged.
When do we start acknowledging the GOP are Nazis and the Dems are controlled opposition?
Asking for the disabled and elderly.
And also queer people and non-white people.
And women in general.
They added it to an omnibus bill, is it another flaw of the US system that it's unable to pass laws that only cover one issue?
Kinda yeah. Every bill is a negotiation. One side isnt going to straight up agree to a bill presented by the other side without pushing them for a little bit more. And one thing leads to another and the bill is too bloated to make sense anymore

Funny since their leader (Trump) came here illegally and so did the Musk family! While we have a douche Canadian calling himself “Ted”… fleeing to Mexico to avoid blame in TX. The GOP party is straight up liars, rapists, and uneducated hypocrites. Basically, just all around TRASH! The “American Experiment” has clearly fucking failed! Let’s clean house and move the fuck on!
Trump isn't an immigrant. I don't like the man either but he was born in Queens.
