for hours today

i've been watching Nancy Pelosi read the stories of DACA recipients. Many of these stories have brought me to tears. I cannot even last as long as she did sitting on my recliner and being able to push pause, use the restroom, run errands. I've jumped up the replay a couple times.

What is Ryan's rationale for refusing to do something about DACA? If nothing else, Pelosi has made the case that these Americans have earned and deserve the chance to be Americans.

oh, and I hate republicans. they suck.

you can browse through the over 8 hours of stories "for the record"

but what are they saying to cover that up? have they indeed sunk so low that they just don't care that the country and the world can see how much they just don't care? that they are cruel and heartless excuses for human beings?

i can't hear one person say to me that both parties are the same. and the only one who ever says that to me is my own son. i argue with him every time. i think he is starting to get it.

If you ever hear them justify their treatment of Dreamers or other undocumented people who are law-abiding, tax paying citizens ....

They tell you that they are all CRIMINALS! Because they are here ILLEGALLY! And CRIMINALS must be JAILED and DEPORTED!

That's the gist of what I hear and read.
