The application of simple logic to Republicanism reveals the truth about them.
"If they stop telling lies about us, we'll stop telling the truth about them."
-TX Gov Anne Richards
NO. We won't stop telling the truth about them. EVER.

(90,797 posts)The deepest and most disgraceful SHAME.
Quite literally an UNAMERICAN SHAME.
We must always remember that nothing like this was EVER party of our story OR our generations reality
Until TRUMP.
The horrific, disgusting, stupid, humiliating, outrageous, and almost unspeakable SHAME of it.
Gee, thanks a fuckin HEAP, donald. And the most unforgettable and hopefully unrepeatable SHAME - on YOU. And what a legacy. Itll ALWAYS be on, by, for, and about YOU.

(51,554 posts)then it was never even about immigration.
It wasn't about the price of eggs or gas either. Just pure hate. Performative cruelty with no benefit to anyone.
Since criminals don't want to be found, it's too much work for these proud boys...er...ICE. So of course they get the people who follow the laws, work, pay taxes, show up for court hearings, check in with ICE, do everything they are supposed to, etc.

Nothing about immigration at all. If they wanted to end illegal immigration, they'd go after the employers till the jobs dried up, and then no one would come looking for opportunity. The immigration could stop tomorrow if they wanted it to.
But that's not what they want. They want a hunting party. They're sick.

(38 posts)If, as border Czar Tom Holman says, Look, people need to understand, ICE officers and Border Patrol dont need probable cause to walk up to somebody, detain them, and question them. They just need totality of the circumstances, right? They just go through the observation, get our typical facts based on the location, the occupation, their physical appearance, their actions, then it was never about deporting criminals. It's ethnic cleansing. And if this is the loose rationale for detaining people, none of us is safe.
