Prosecutors must not like their families much, to make them targets for Trump's masked ICE gooners.

Was that for MadBomber?

Sounds like someone's getting a promotion to VP soon!

My point is that no matter how many republicans say government is corrupt they don't blame their own party.
And they aren't switching.

Always nice to hear from the voice of experience!
Hold up, what this I see. You're not a Republican any more, on your user profile.

Hmmmm...

But of course you're right. You didn't switch. You merely chose to be "neutral" and have no party.

To those who claim we NEED illegal immigrants I point out that it has slowed to a trickle and our economy is doing fine.

ICE stopped raiding farms.

Why would ICE stop raising farms if we don't need those illegal immigrants working in agriculture?

You lack the intellectual honesty to respond.

Did your mother enter the country illegally?

You have no idea what's happening.

I bet she bounced a check once in her life.

ICE deports people who entered the country legally for bouncing a check.

Even JeffJ can recognize that the leader minting a coin in his own image is Banana Republic fascism.

He can't say it out loud, but he can recognize it.

But I don't think BillJohnson can recognize it.

It's crazy to think had all this gone down in the 80s, my mom would likely be sent to the camps and maybe eventually deported.

Instead she became a citizen and spent the next two decades working for the Federal Government.

Oh the irony.

At the State level, it's more like what Eberly said.

I don't know if this stat still holds, but many years ago -- Most people had a favorable view of their particular Congressional representatives, but held Congress as a whole in very low esteem.

"They think government is corrupt. You are hearing them say "republicans are corrupt""

Republicans control all three branches of Federal Government.

At the national level, those are the same thing.

"It's a complex problem"

Maybe the problem is complex, but the immediate solution -- stopping all these ICE raids, emptying the camps -- is so simple, even a Republican can understand it.

We aren't going to kill our economy to satisfy people who have a political axe to grind.

Trump has been slowly killing our economy since re-election.

25% cut to cancer research is a job killer.

everyone thinks past immigration was essential but today??? Oh no...we can't have them.
The truth is we've been bickering over this since for 200 years.

The truth is only racists think that.
Ask any American what their roots are, and 99% of them will name a foreign country or two.
Even the racists.

ICE agents look forward to buying rolls of Trump coins, and patriotically sodomizing detainees with them.

slavery was about jobs..

One reason Republicans mythologize the Self Made Man so fervently is to whitewash the historical fact that slaves are the only reason this country was economically successful.

Were not a self made country, and there are no self made men.

But boy, do these Republicans born on third base in a ballpark built by slaves sure think they hit a triple.

Fourteen of our first sixteen Presidents owned slaves. Historically illiterate Republicans still insist the White Man built America.

Republicans sure do love pointless, unnecessary paperwork.

Paperwork that only exists to deter people from engaging government services in the first place.

Because Reconciliation was effectively sabotaged by the South and as a result was a complete failure. The result was that the North won the War but lost the Peace.

It's not really talked about honestly. Most people thought slavery was immoral and should be ended. Very few people thought the slaves should be granted equal status with free men.

That's why we had Jim Crow. Because most people wanted Jim Crow.

Millions of people still want Jim Crow today. People like BillJohnson, who simply wants trans people to stop existing in public. Most every Republican has some sort of refrain where people should stick to their own kind, immigrants should give up any cultural traditions that make Republicans uncomfortable, drag queens shouldn't be legally allowed to read stories to children, and so on.

"the Democrat party is the party of illegal immigration."

The Republican Party is the party of sending innocent people to camps for indefinite detention for the paperwork crime of not having their papers in order.

Which of those do you think is the lesser evil?

"if this driver was driving his own truck, working for an employer?"

Oh so now we're bashing entrepreneurs who buy a truck and start their own trucking business...
