Some form of wealth tax, above a certain lev, is needed.

We can treat it like a property tax on securities

True. So protesters sit in jail awaiting trial.

It depends on the judges. ICE arrests you. Then you are held without bail until they get a prosecutor.

The old rules are gone.

Yes. The GOP wants to control elections in areas where Dems are likely to win

And he still may get away with it.

I hope not, but the GOP tends to outfight their opponents

Bill and Hillary Clinton agree to testify in House Epstein probe ahead of contempt vote The Clintons had previously refused to appear before the Republican-led House Oversight Committee.

It appears the Clintons will give in and testify. It is a shame Dems could not have forced GOP politicians to testify during the January 6th hearings.

GOP chair rejects Clintons' offer in Epstein investigation ahead of contempt of Congress vote The Republican chair of a House Committee is rejecting an offer from former President Bill Clinton to conduct a transcribed interview for a House investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epst...

This will be an interesting test case to watch. In 2021, Democrats were not able to enforce congressional subpoenas regarding January 6th.

We will see if the Republicans have more power. Can they enforce their subpoenas?

WTF does this word salad even mean?

"GOP topped from the bottom?"

Dude. Reduce your drug intake

‘A pretext to rig the election’: Democrats scramble to block ICE crackdowns near polling sites Election officials are preparing for the possibility of immigration enforcement activity at or near polling sites in November.

Actually.. Others are also concerned about ICE suppressing Democratic voters during the primary.

ICE need not hold down a city. They only need to suppress Dems by a few percentage points

Yes. They are a focused lot. They maintain this by being fast, focused and not afraid to act. They act, then worry about the legality.

MAGA believes they are at war. They want to act and win at all costs.

They also argue. The Epstein files, tariffs, farm subsidies.

They argue.

2/ And Garland was weak and slow.

Then the Dems lost the house and the investigation was shut down

The Watergate hearings were the model to follow. Fast paced and intense. This did not allow Nixon to control the msg

The January 6th hearings were slow. The slow pace allowed MAGA to turn around some GOP folks that were against Trump. The delays allowed the GOP to control the narrative.

They do. Are you a Republican? No. You and I are talking about Democratic strategy. Discussing strategy is not yelling.

I can assure you that the GOP and MAGA debate strategy. They decide which states to occupy. They debate rules of engagement

I thought it was existential. But the slow pace of the January 6th hearings made me doubt this.

The slow and timid response from the Dems leads me to believe it is a legal crisis but not existential.

The existential crisis occurs if MAGA interfere with the midterm elections.

2/ and criticizing Dems is not giving aid to Republicans. It is pushing our leaders to avoid the mistakes of 2021.

Some are. Like in Philadelphia. But MN is just burying their dead.

The GOP are MAGA. I criticize them too. But they don't care what I say.

Sadly, it appears that some of the Dems are not listening either.

How? I am the one left exposed on the street.

I am asking our leaders to use their authority to push back.

Check everyone's registration. Not just ICE.

Then sue ICE for selective enforcement. Are you OK with that or do you only want ICE to sue?

I have fought against ICE in Pennsylvania. Yes, I am fighting them.

And Philadelphia is waiting for them.

And again what action items do you want to see done?

Rest assured. The GOP will only lose some seats in the house. They will keep the Senate.

This assumes we have fair elections

No. You are enforcing the law. You can't swap license plates.

ICE shooting people is illegal.

Yes. You are passive.

We need to have our leaders fight the GOP

Is it? ICE has opened the door. They have been accused of switching license plates.

Treat ICE as you would anybody else who broke the law

2/

How can you call this a state of emergency yet be so passive?

So. You are OK with ICE exterminating people? Can ICE start killing hundreds and you are down with that?

The GOP will not be removed from power with elections. They may lose a few seats but still filibuster

Will we even have elections? ICE is now free to shoot people in line to vote.

4 is not illegal. If a vehicle is improperly registered it can be impounded

What do YOU propose they do?

And 1 and 2 are legal if you break the law.

2/

What do YOU want Democrats to do?

Philadelphia chief of police indicated ICE or military members will be arrested on state charges. Trump cannot pardon those away.

1. Arrest ICE members that interfere with a murder investigation

2. Arrest ICE who violate laws

3. Have LEO at protests to protect peaceful protesters

4. Tow ICE vehicles if registration is not 100 percent valid

MN is *finally* having NG available

Philadelphia top cop..ain't playing

These folks need to understand that the Dems are powerless and can accomplish nothing.

Unfortunately, Dems need to understand that they need to fight back or voters will stay home.

MAGA understands that they can send ICE to disrupt the midterm voters in Dem leaning districts
