THEY WOULDN'T RAISE THEIR HANDS!!!!

[senseandsensibility]

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.

1. If Goldman asked his colleagues on Capitol Hill to raise their hands if they were against cancer, only Dems would do so.

Being a Republican in Congress means never publicly agreeing with anything Democrats say.

[senseandsensibility]

2. Sadly, I think you're right.

It must be hell going through life afraid of your own shadow, not to mention your base.

[CMYK]

23. I hope so

They deserve every second of it.

[Aviation Pro]

3. Dems should capitalize on this

“Raise your hand if you think beating your wife is bad.”

“Raise your hand if you think rape is bad.”

I could go on.

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.

8. correction for last sentence:

"...they deserve to be THROWN out--of office!"

There--fixed it for ya.

[senseandsensibility]

11. I made the suggested correction

and it gave me a chance to fix the weird misspelling of deserve as dexerve. Don't know how that got by spell check.

12. You didn't hear about the Krasnov executive order allowing 3rd grade education

to be the new final year of school so the kids can hunt for jobs?

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.

13. the nation has become too selfish for its own good

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.

[OldBaldy1701E]

25. Yep.

'Selfish' is practically an American virtue!

[flvegan]

18. Agreed, they should.

Probably won't, but should.

27. 172 Republicans voted against reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act in 2021.

"The House voted on Wednesday to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act after 29 Republicans broke with their party to support the bill, which offered women protections from domestic violence, sexual assault and other harassment...Lawmakers approved the bill in a 244-172 vote following its lapse in late 2018. The Democratic-controlled House sought to renew the bill the following year, but it was held up in the Republican-controlled Senate."

[3catwoman3]

30. That is a damn good idea.

[jalan48]

4. Of course not. This is who they are and they don't care about being shamed.

The question is how do we stop them?

[erronis]

5. Psych 1. Rephrase it to "Raise your hands if you think deporting Americans is justified."

Watch all the straight-arms come up from the repugs.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

7. Is there video or something of this?

[Amaryllis]

14. C span? should be on there if he did it during a congressional session.

[DeeDeeNY]

15. Clips from such a video would be a great campaign tool

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.

[AllaN01Bear]

9. i cant say what i want to say on here , would violate the eula big time.

id be able to get away with that.

[Skittles]

10. they call themselves CHRISTIAN and PRO-LIFE

[live love laugh]

16. He asked if they opposed CHILDREN with cancer being deported. All nos.

[Jacson6]

17. MAGA wouldn't lift a finger to help someone dying on the sidewalk as they passed by.

They have no empathy for their fellow human beings.

[AllaN01Bear]

19. im glad i dont pay income tax. im below the lo income threshold

20. Here is the video:

[senseandsensibility]

21. Thank you!

[mucifer]

22. Maybe edit it into the OP.

[Pachamama]

29. This....

This is all you need to show who the Republican Party have become…

[elocs]

24. Do we really believe that we, and the magas will ever be able to live and coexist side by side?

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?

[C_U_L8R]

26. Good to know

We'll remember that at their tribunals. Maybe the could be shuttled off to a barren rock in the middle of nowhere.

[wordstroken]

28. There are no words to describe the evil and hatefulness of those in power.

We’ve got to fight back with every ounce of energy we have left.

[PatSeg]

31. Whoa, that is some legacy that these republicans are leaving

Just imagine how their obituaries will read.

[louis-t]

32. The cruelty is the whole point.

Hell, repugs would be ok with infecting kids with cancer and then deporting them. They'd have a good laugh over it. These people disgust me.
