Pragmatic Politic

I love how he claims the discussion for health care was planned to happen in the next two or three months. What about the last 15 years? What about the endless 2 weeks promise from Trump for a health plan? What about literally right now by not ending the ACA subsidies?

They don't need to "secure" a city. They don't intend to "secure" a city.

How proud is the Texas guard going to be when they start killing Americans like the traitors they are?

The National Guard has no role in enforcing immigration laws. Sit the fuck down.

Trump will ignore it.
Vance will claim she's not properly grateful.
Johnson will just shrug his shoulders and smirk.
MAGA overall will say she deserved it for ruling against Trump.

They will execute illegal orders. At least some of them will. Those that won't, they will be fired and replaced by people who will. They will promote people who believe in their authoritarian, militarized ideology. There are plenty of those types in our military.

They have a plan and it is on track, probably ahead of schedule at this point. The point of the chaos is to distract from those efforts and apparently that plan is working brilliantly as well. I can't believe we are this far in and people still aren't understanding this.

Nah, we're still treating them far better than they're treating us. If this minuscule amount of discomfort makes them whine like this, we really need to start putting the pressure on them, we will win.

How do you get 10 years out of the phrase last year?

As I understand it, Trump has deployed California's National Guard to Oregon. Would have been an interesting setup if they were met at the state border by Oregon's National Guard and refused entry.

Oh, Ms. Fran

There were a couple of encyclicals, the debate on whether those efforts did more harm or good is not insignificant. There her records of various of other communications. Given the relatively little I know about the specific Catholic history on this, to me it sounds like you're conflating the two.

I agree. If I remember correctly, a lot of people were uncomfortable with a strictly enforcement-based division of immigration when it was created. Fuck, let's be real a lot of people were uncomfortable with the majority of the Homeland Security Act.

Republicans have been promising a replacement plan since the day ACA was passed in March 2010. If a political party can't put together a comprehensive improvement, or even an incomprehensive one, they have promised for over 15 years now, why is anyone still believing anything these assholes say?

They don't want to fix it. Because if they wanted to fix it, to make it better, as was the fucking plan when it was passed back in 2010, 15 fucking years later the Republicans would have put forth at least one logical, comprehensive, improvement or replacement plan. But they haven't.

It just makes me so angry that at this point, I'm going to fight against what is happening, but if All the worst happens, I'm going to look at these people and say you got everything ya asked for.

That has been the death knell that has been ringing in my ear since right after 9/11. The patriot Act, oh you're overreacting it's not that bad. Going into Iraq despite all evidence against, oh, you're overreacting, they're a terrorist country and had stuff. The list goes on and on and on.

*eliminating Independence

Got ahead of myself a little bit there.

I haven't completely lost hope. But I look around the world in real life and I don't think people really understand what is happening, the depth of the depravity of Republicans.

Wait wait wait, is he asking for credit for colluding with Osama bin laden, claiming he knew a full year before 9/11 that bin laden was going to attack the world trade center?

Fair enough. I have become far too cynical about this after so many years of beating my head against the wall. I think I said this before to you, but the 2004 election made me never trust the US electorate again.

There are small protests everywhere. We need No Kings sized protests in our streets every day. It's not about making the media notice, it's about making those assholes in Washington DC notice.

There's already one out, so it does not feature the dog killer.

So ICE raided an entire bldg as if it was in Afghanistan filled with terrorists, kicked in doors, busted in windows, dragged people out, including children, because there were two suspected gangsters in there? No, this was a planned PR campaign for a terror organization. DHS even put out a video.

Yeah, but it's Iowa City. They vote blue.

This is part of the problem with MAGA, they have steeped themselves so long in stupid there is just no logic there to work with. Sometimes it's just easier to walk away.

It's like not one of them is smart enough to understand what they took an oath to defend.

We cannot trust our military. Do not trust when they are sent into our streets, and Trump will send them, that they will honor their oath to the Constitution, or look at you - as a black or brown person, as an LGBTQ person, or as political opposition - with any humanity. These people will kill us.

Occupiers should never be made to feel comfortable. These people are terrorizing everyone and they're going to whine about nobody wanting to sit down to lunch with them? Or not letting them in to use a bathroom in a private business? Get the fuck over yourself.

But if you don't wear any insignia, or a uniform, or carry a badge, or identify yourself in any way as LE, are you really impersonating an officer? And I mean, that's what most of these people are doing so, pull up your gaitor you'd fit right in. Act like a keystone cop and bumblefuck everything.
