Fan of voting, common sense and Kenny Rogers. Nihilism and horseshoe thinking doesn't accomplish anything. It's mocked here. Tax the churches - yes, that one, too.

Every single Republican senator voted down Tammy Baldwin's amendment to cover the subsidies for a year.

Every Democrat and both Indys voted for the amendment.

All of us should talk about this non-stop.
I think of LaMonica McIver a lot, but definitely when the anti -Dem accounts on here complain that Democrats aren't 'doing anything.'
The other day I bitched that people always forget LaMonica McIver in their list of politicized prosecutions.

The New Yorker has a profile here, so hopefully we can change that.

Abolish ICE. But first, subject them to a rigorous training where they have to do situps and take ethics classes.

Then investigate and punish this behavior.

People are missing the point. I know Noem doesn't have good training and screening.

Make these losers do fitness sessions and training. Make them learn about rules. Teach them philosophy so they understand humanity. Tie them up in boring bureaucratic processes. They will be miserable.
Training and screening would mean they had no agents.

They've had to drastically lower the standards to let through the ones they've got.

Trump take football. He HATES the NFL because they wouldn't let him have a team. He probably hates the NCAA because he's a narcissist.
He's seeding the idea of the government takeover of the media.

It's time to go to war with Nick Shirley. He's already racheting everything up with a false flag transportation scandal.

If you're complaining about Democrats instead of highlighting the Trump Administration 's war on free speech, federal aid and Minnesota itself, you are absolutely doing it wrong.
This is insanity. They are being investigated for *making statements* critical of ICE.

Trump is worse Bush II, but Bush II was pretty bad.
semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

ICE is no laughing matter, but it is grimly hilarious that this was an Always Sunny In Philadelphia episode, because Trump is parody.
Makes these Constitution-violating, child abusing, Nazi phone thieves famous.

People who go on Facebook or Instagram to complain about the invasive nature of the TSA are hilarious.

The Supreme Court gave ICE and Donald Trump even more leeway to be lawless.

The Kavanaugh Stops weren't bad enough.
ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it.

We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.
