We are yelling at and constantly ridiculing the Republicans, but we also expect them to be total sacks of shit. The Democrats, however, keep saying they stand for us, yet they aren’t doing shit, so we yell at them too. It’s not hard to figure out.
Again, I know everyone wants to yell at The Democrats & Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jefferies, but there are 10-25 people in Washington who could literally end all of this tomorrow, & none of them are Democrats, & they continue to get 24/7 free passes for being absolute oath-violating cowards. Focus.
Yes, we’re looking at you, Lisa Murkowski & Susan Collins & Thom Tillis, you absolute oath-violating cowards.

I, and anyone with a semblance of a brain, know exactly where those 10-25 goddamn soulless monsters stand on the issues at hand.
The problem is that the Democrats STILL WANT TO WORK WITH THEM AND BE BESTIES WITH SAID OATH-VIOLATING COWARDS.
THAT is why they get yelled at more.

Chuck Schumer wants to still be able to deport people.
Federal agents tear-gassed demonstrators and children in Portland.
An agent in Colorado stole a woman’s phone and threw her to the ground.
The disgraced former head of Border Patrol urged mass arrests.
This isn't what Americans signed up for. We must rein in ICE.

My favorite genre of Epstein emails are powerful people emailing WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN about how MeToo has gone too far and the woke mob must be stopped.

People really need to think about chuck this way. He just said his primary objective as sen minority leader is to get aid to Israel. He doesn’t care what you, his constituent wants or thinks.
we say this guy chases polls or the Baileys or whatever, but the reality is that he’s just misaligned with Democrats. the polling is clear that this is not what Democrats want.
Chuck is an ideological, pro-cop centrist. He’s saying this because it’s his policy preference. It’s what he wants.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Once DHS has that info, I don't know what barrier would prevent DHS turning it over to FBI/DOJ for prosecution
(among the many other problems with all of this): is FBI/DOJ now able to use DHS as a Trojan horse to get around needing (real) search warrants for the purpose of prosecuting US citizens

If Google is turning over user email data with nothing but a DHS administrative warrant I would assume until proved otherwise it is also turning phone location info over to immigration
Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

This is partly connected to land use policy and NIMBY restrictions.
In the aftermath of each mountain/rural fire (not LA) you see people saying they moved out there because it was all they could afford.
