Maybe our country shouldn’t send those occupying forces next time then, but we did this time, and now the only decent thing for us to do is stand by the people our scumbag leaders put on the front lines of their foreign policy choices

I hope it does, a big part of how we ended up here was because dipshits in the Obama administration refused to go after W’s people who committed crimes because they didn’t think it would poll well

I wonder if Slotkin Kelly and Goodlander have realized yet that voting to give more powers to ICE to detain people was a stupid thing to do

There have been tons of massive protests, the average American doesn’t support this crap and they’re doing what they can

The question should be the fuck is wrong with America’s police officers, service members, judges, and lawmakers and other elected officials

I think it’s also because the minority of people who still identify as Republicans care more about people they don’t like being hurt than their own material well being

The problem with the party leadership route is that party insiders are the only ones who get to vote on it, and when that’s the electorate she can’t even beat Gerry Nadler. If she can run in a race with real people voting on it I think she could beat anyone.

Didn’t stay in office tho

You don’t understand, he’s being hopeful and positive while being Muslim, and the last “national moment of unity” this fucking scumbag is willing to recognize as such is when “all” of “us” came together after 9/11 to be super shitty to anyone who looked like they were from the middle east. Taking away their easy scapegoat really does feel divisive to these psychotic ghouls.

Calling Major Questions a legal doctrine is like calling the Paper Bag test a medical examination

He will be 82 years old in 2028

Not saying they won’t try all of this, but I don’t think they’ll be able to pull it off for very long if at all

I think that’s what this administration want us to think, but in reality

White House officials said that covering the cost of military pay for the first half of October totaled about $6.5 billion. Todd Harrison, a defense budget analyst at the American Enterprise Institute

FFS, could the news media go more than two sentences without treating a right wing hack organization like a serious viewpoint, fuck

Ugh, whatever, sorry for interrupting, do some middle school level math for us Todd

Todd Harrison, a defense budget analyst at the American Enterprise Institute, said that based on that figure, the new donation will cover about one-third of one day’s pay for the force.

So, yeah, this is a dumb stunt designed to get us to think they just privatized the military, but it’s actually empty bullshit

I mean, yes that is the way things currently are, but it’s not the way they should be

Trump administration expected to appeal the decision.

Historically speaking, when fascist leaders relocate to bunkers good things happen

Small step in the right direction, but

a) There are pretty obviously widespread and violent violations of the law happening, you don’t need to assess them, you need to be immediately arresting and imprisoning these ICE scumbags, then organizing the widely available evidence and bringing charges against them. Treat them like the urgent and deadly threats they are and get them off our streets now.

b) Water under the bridge at this point, but why tf did a bunch of citizens have to put themselves in danger to gather evidence of New York laws being broken? Pretty sure that’s the cops job.

Arrest them on sight because they’re imminently dangerous, organize the widely available evidence and bring charges after they’ve been secured in a cell

Nah, with how they talk about “drinking lib tears” and stuff all the time Republicans definitely know what they’re saying and doing is wrong. The people who are so deluded they don’t know what they’re doing is wrong are the moderates, you could talk those assholes into supporting a genocide and they’d still think they were good people who could lecture others on right and wrong and be taken seriously.

A government shutdown isn’t a general strike, but it could be the start of one

She wants the Epstein files released because she thinks the secret codes to the Jewish space lasers are in there somewhere. I also think antisemitism explains her willingness to call out Israel for genocide (which, like, to be clear, shouldn’t be an antisemitic stance at all, but MGT is a dumb hateful bitch who thinks every single Jewish person is in on some massive conspiracy to rule the whole world so of course she stupidly folds the real crimes of Israel and Epstein into that bullshit).
