I doubt that will help, ice probably just views you as a mystery flavor minority until proven otherwise
lol nope. this is definitely being instrumentalized to take action against data protection per se and thus deport people without any further investigation. care about data protection = terrorist. will come this way
And now you know why the Medicaid cuts only kick in later, to give time to the ICE Gestapo to round up as many recipients as possible before they get kicked out.
Nah, it's to blame democrats after they win seats in the midterms. It sets up the GOP for another presidential run.
it doesnt set the democrats up. they'll just fuck it up by not doing anything about it. the cuts are easily rolled back if congress critters give a shit. but they dont so we give them the opportunity to fix the problem and they just spend 4 years shitting on the toilet saying 'look at how great things are now that we're back' while things just continue to get worse.
The cuts are not so easily rolled back as long as Trump has veto power.
yeah no one is talking about this term. its fucked. but you just have to look at bidens last term for your answer. they didnt roll back the corpo taxes or fix the taxes for the middle class that trump and the republicans pushed through.
yeah no one is talking about this term.
Yes they were; that is exactly what "after they win seats in the midterms" means.
but you just have to look at bidens last term for your answer.
Democrats were not a majority in the Senate at any point in Biden's term, and even if you lump the independents in with them that only gave them an extremely narrow margin.
On top of that, they lost the House half-way through Biden's term.
yeah because they didnt even attempt to do shit and constantly undercut the middle class. Everyone remembers harris' min wage vote. they had plenty of opportunities to show they actually gave a shit and had policies that matched.
but sadly they never were
stop making excuses for them. you're not doing them any favors. democrats have had numerous and many chances over the last 16 years to show they are worth voting for and they've failed every, single, time. not because they couldn't, but because they wouldn't
Exactly, that's why the GOPs game plan has a chance of working. The GOP are very good at long term, strategic thinking. Look at all the damage they've done through slowly gerrymandering and through all the grooming of judges through the Federalist Society. The DNC has never thought long term like that.
you're assertions are predicated on the democrats not being willing participants in this process. hint: they are.
I'm not making any assertions. I'm making observations.
your entire post was an set of assertions. sorry you feel that you were just making observations.
Noting the damage done by gerrymandering and the Federalist Society is clearly an observation. No assertion needed.
Scary time to be transgender as well, no matter your race...
