The fucking irony of a party themed on The Great Gatsby - a novel they’ve obviously never read.….
The fucking irony:
“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy - they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
The Great Gatsby, FS Fitzgerald

This is disgusting. Blatant corruption at the highest level in plain sight and Oversight Chair Comer Pyle morphs into a combination of Mr. Magoo and Sgt. Schultz.

This is now the second-longest government shutdown of any kind ever in the history of our country.

The two longest shutdowns in US history both while Trump was in office.

He is the common denominator. That needs to start being the headline.

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages.

They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely.

They get pardoned when they commit crimes.

They ignore the laws.

There is zero congressional oversight.

Call me old fashioned but I miss the days when we would all be shocked if a President posted a video of himself flying over protesters and dumping poop on them.

I miss the days when a video like that would have been grounds for instant removal from office.

I miss accountability.

Wow, wow, wow. This has always been legally possible but the law has virtually never been enforced — and now this is the SECOND case I've heard of in the last month (first involving a person with a green card) of a noncitizen being charged for failure to carry their papers.
NEWS: ICE gave a Rogers Park man a $130 ticket for not having his papers on him. They rounded him up last week and eventually let him go, but not without a fine that some critics say is un-American. Trump admin enforcing little-used law

Remember, decent people like us were traumatized seeing infants and children in cages forced to appear in court alone while separated from their parents.

America voted for a second, more violent and inhumane term.

America voted for this.

Stop pretending ICE just happened out of thin air.
