On Wed, Daniel Goldman (D) asked his colleagues on Capitol Hill to raise their hands if they were against deporting American citizens with cancer.
Only the Dems raised their hands.
They are for deporting American citizens. They admitted it. I hope we hear some serious screaming about this.

It's a great example of their cowardice AND the danger of that cowardice. If they won't stand up for citizens with cancer, they deserve to be thrown out of office.

It made big news in the Nowheresville, Alabama Gazette but only because the old standard was 2nd grade there. Every other paper in the country ignored it.

(32,752 posts)many voters have this attitude it’s ok to vote for cruelty as long as “others” pay the price. that’s common in a lot of the “i didn’t think Trump policies would affect ME” stories that came out this year or in 2017.

The Democratic-controlled House sought to renew the bill the following year, but it was held up in the Republican-controlled Senate."

(3,766 posts)for their Democratic opponents next year. But Republicans are not known for their ability to make rational decisions. There were clips of Josh Hawley raising his fist with the insurrectionists on Jan.6 and then minutes later running scared like the coward he is, and he still won reelection.

(24,486 posts)At least in the pre-civil war time the nation was divided into free/slave states by the Mason/Dixon line. Today, Magas could be our next door neighbors. There is no physical separation between them and us.
How can the "United" States" ever be a nation again? Maybe the mostly non-maga states could secede and join Canada? Illegal? Well Trump seems to be able to do whatever he pleases regardless if it is legal or not. What happens when the day comes when he just flat out ignores SCOTUS or just arrests all the judges? Who will stop him?
