    It shouldn’t be possible to deport citizens from their own country. Why is there even a discussion?

    Does anyone have a link to the amendment? Or to the votes that were tallied?

    The website seems to just link to the budget bill. If this were devs discussing a change to a repo, you’d have links to discussions, the code in question, related technical specifications… not just a link to what a dev said on Twitter and a link to the repo.

    I don’t know enough to parse the bills / their process, but I know enough to not care about what they say happened on Twitter.

        Mafia Don Mangolini is much more dangerous than just a symptom.

        More like the willingly staged celebrity figurehead.

        It’s what he lives for.

        The chump is happy to be ensconced in the political spotlight and take all the credit for what’s happening while the even worse destruction is carried on behind the scenes off camera and “behind our backs” by those that are much more savvy and capable.

      And why they have to lose every election going forward so that they can disband and re-up under a new name like in the past.

        I wouldn’t be surprised to see it be designated as a far right terrorist group. That’s what they are now. They aren’t Republicans. Theyre Nazis

          Unfortunately I don’t see that happening without a major US war and major election reform. Otherwise they have like half-ish of the population at least semi-supporting them, and half the population is not likely to peacefully get labelled “terrorist”.

            True, but frankly the other half of the population isn’t ok with being designated as disposable, so …

      We should treat people wearing maga-hats like someone wearing a nazi armband. The outfit is a threat.

      And I know if we get through this, there won’t be any judgement. People will just be like “oh that’s in the past let’s just let it be”, and people won’t pay for their crimes, and the roots of this problem won’t be ripped out.

    Now they’re going to start kidnapping whoever they want to send to the EL Salvador concentration camps. Trump told bukele to build more prisons because he was sending home growns next.

    The expectation is that they are going to go for US POCs next is that right? I don’t hear people talk about it so I don’t know if I’m the only one who sees it this way.

      They weren’t. They needed to get them on record supporting a horribly unpopular position so they could use it in the midterms. You’ll see a ton of votes that go nowhere like this that are just fodder for election bids.

        Yup, they have their part to play in the Bread and Circus. Incidentally, Super Mario Brothers is a great game. Many like to play Mario, but the role of Luigi is often overlooked.

          Luigi could jump the highest of all the playable characters in Super Mario Bros 2. He was always my go-to character for this reason. Those egg flinging dinosaur fucks be damned!

            I don’t know about you, but hypothetically if I were to want to play Luigi right now… green pipes don’t just lead you to the castle anymore, they’re empty! and the Koopas are laying low. Playing Luigi is strategic, you just need the player to recognize when it’s time to play him.

              Right. Luigi jumps high. No point in playing Luigi if jumping high doesn’t actually net anything. Gotta play Luigi when the extra jump height gets progress.

        Yeah, it’s so unsurprising. It’s why I believe the US Demoractic party of today is, at least to some degree, controlled opposition. I don’t like this theory, but I cannot see a more rational explanation for their behavior. They’ve been letting the Republicans walk all over them for years. Why?

        • They are controlled opposition. At this point in my life I don’t care how it comes across to make such a claim. They are just as corpo as the republicans. They spend more energy killing anything remotely good for working class people, more effort on killing anything even remotely resembling a left of center within than fighting against a party that has been circling the fascist drain for decades. Corey Booker is a microcosm of the party; all performative grandstanding in the moment with not only inaction but counter action of what the performance was meant to invoke and/or inspire. Don’t worry though. They still have your email and will ask for a paltry hundred dollar donation to FIGHT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION come mid terms. Democrats are the Generals and the Republicans are the Globe Trotters. Trump spins a ball on his finger and everyone just gawks instead of playing defense.

    They’re more afraid of MAGA than they’re afraid of ordinary citizens. Nothing will change until it’s the other way around.
