Besides the obvious MAGA crap, why start with her? What do they gain to deport Omar?
“Reportedly”? Like it isn’t obvious? As in, it’s obvious they’re trying to eliminate their political opposition by any means and this is the first step of that?
But it’s it really the first step. Feel like they have been making plenty of steps already.
It’s something like when someone openly commits murder but, until they’re convicted, they only “allegedly” did it
If someone openly commits murder, you are in fact allowed to say they did it without saying “allegedly”. Otherwise there would be no free speech, it would mean you could not say anything that was not already whitelisted by the state.
Then why does the media call mass shooters “accused killers”?
Because it is very expensive to get sued if they get it wrong.
But I’m talking about cases where it is plainly obvious that these people committed the murders, but they still don’t state it as a fact unless they’re convicted
So I am not a lawyer. But it can’t possibly be the case, that you are not allowed to publicly say something trivially provably true, unless you have a court’s word that it is true. That would effectively mean that there is zero free speech.
I don’t know if it’s that they’re not allowed by law or it’s media policy, but this is what they do. The guy who committed mass murder at a movie theater in 2012, for example, was referred to as an accused killer. Also, nowhere did I say they weren’t legally allowed to call these people murderers, I said that they don’t. I was responding to a comment about how the media words these things as if they aren’t obviously true.
“I’m sure Kamala would have been just as bad, because something something shitlib”
– the purity ponies
Where the fuck are the fucking Democrats springing into action?
Neoliberals are conservatives. That’s how we ended up here.
Conservatism is fascism and it has infested both parties. Allowing conservatives to continue existing among us will always lead to fascism.
Our push to the left must be merciless and unending. Normally, peace cannot cure fascism. We must accept that violence may be necessary to survive this.
Yup. When is the last time we saw dem leadership organize the party effectively, or release meaningful pushback to culture war rhetoric? It’s nada all the time with these clowns. Fucking Schumer and Jeffries apply all their efforts to serving billionaires and are happy to be unpopular as long as they get to lead the losing party. I’m sick to death of hearing how brilliantly Pelosi handled Republicans during her tenure— she literally fucking led us right to where we are now. Fuck anyone who serves billionaire interests.

The normal people disagree with your defense of conservatism. Conservatives are pure evil and should be dealt with as such. Your insults only add to my motivation to erase them.

Funny you would suggest that specific activity. I have donated my time at food pantries. Many, many times. One thing I’ve noticed there is a distinct lack of conservative volunteers.
Conservatives are biologically unable to experience empathy for others. This is why conservatives are almost never found giving their time to the vulnerable unless there is something in it for themselves (ex: church cred, entry to heaven, free food).
Conservatives’ inability to experience empathy is also why their relationships are so shallow. For example, a conservative male sees his family as his property. He loves his wife the way a teenager loves a sportscar. He cannot develop a deep personal affection for his wife because that requires empathy.
A conservative’s lack of ability to experience empathy is also why bigotry comes so easily to conservatives. It’s why genocide is so easily supported by conservatives. It’s why conservative policy so consistently harms the vulnerable.
If you are not a conservative, you really shouldn’t defend them. They will never humanize you. Never. They don’t even humanize each other. They simply can’t.
You’re not helping.
Sucking on the corporate teat
They’re doing everything they can: talking about it. We voted them into the minority, they have no ability to do anything.
It’s amazing when the god-damned Nazis are the minority they sure accomplish a lot by stalling everything every way possible
Correct. It is easier to stall and destroy than it is to build.
Which Dem leadership could also certainly do to the MAGA agenda if they wanted to
They do, pretty consistently. At least the parts of the maga agenda that aren’t stopping everything else.
I have yet to see them bring the same energy that republicans bring when they are in the minority.
It must be a great life, living without object permanence.
Lol wtf does some random article from 2019 have to do with today?
“Right now, Democrats have no power to do anything but talk about the thing that happened this week, and they are talking”
“Well SEVEN YEARS AGO they criticized the lady they’re talking about now!! On a topic that ha nothing to do with her immigration status, which is currently being discussed. EVIIIL”
Genuine question, not trying to be insulting: are you stupid?
I believe the point OP is trying to make is that they have no problem calling her out, but won’t come to her defense. Why? Because they actually answer to corporate interests, and what’s happening to her now doesn’t matter to those interests.
If their corporate donors called them and expressed their concern, you better believe they would have a press conference and be all over the Sunday political bs shows talking about it.
But…they are. There are many Democrats, including minority speaker, calling this political persecution. OP is conveniently ignoring that, because it doesn’t fit their narrative.
object permanence.
Genuine question: are you stupid?
No, but when dealing with fascist enabling liberals like you, it might appear that way.
Well that answers that.
Chuck Schumer has said nothing. He would happily watch the entire squad be subjected to this.
Have any leaders or top democrats held press conferences or anything denouncing these actions or showing support for her? It seems like they are just leaving her on her own to deal with this which is pretty shitty…
Unfortunately for Omar, the billionaires who own Dem leadership don’t want any social dems in congress. It’s too popular an idea and billionaires fear the populace taking back power.

You think democrats and liberals oppose this?
Yes
I think Jeffries did, but not positive
He sure as shit better. With dark skin and the first name Hakeem he’s a damn fool if he doesn’t say something even if self preservation is his only motivation.
He thinks he’s “one of them” because they throw him a few pennies. Greedy traitor.
He can ask Max Naumann how that went.
The fuck sticks won’t stop until wr have gas chambers again. I’m so tired of humans. How fucking hard is leaving other people alone?
Very hard, when they’re brown.
I can’t wait for them to deport her ass so my gas prices and food prices will finally go down.

then they came for Ilhan Omar
Once again fucking the constitution. Trump is a traitor.
Not a peep from Schumer or Jeffries. They are collaborators, no different from in Vichy France.
If you don’t like a political opponent it’s a perfectly normal legitimate strategy to raid their home, demonize them and get them deported.
Hey, uh, guys I just woke up from a fever dream where America became fascistic. Guys? GUYS?
Too many people think that fascistic is fasctastic.
Tbf Trump did get raided first but they never tried to deport Melania or anything soo he is still crossing new lines.
Well Trump actually broke some laws.
Well a judge signed off on these raids so…
So? You have a point? Or are you just an idiot?
Yes but the first instance is the government doing what it’s supposed to and the second is fascsits weaponizing the government.
So when the government prosecutes the people you like it’s good but otherwise bad?
When the government prosecutes people who actually committ crimes then it’s good, yes.
They have to do an investigation to see if she committed a crime…
Dude stop eating paint
Allison Gill mentioned on her show Trump’s done similar stuff in the past without a warrant. I’m not sure but isn’t this what the Kavanaugh stops allowed? He also ordered the seizure of ballots in several cities without a warrant.
Not that you can’t find some dip shit MAGA judge to sign off when you need one…but why take the extra step when your goons blindly follow orders?
LOL, fair?
They tried to get back the classified documents donnie stole before they finally had to raid his compound. The problem is that donnie thinks the law does not apply to him.
Well actually it was
THE FUCKING CAPITAL BUILDING GOT RAIDED FIRST.
But ok whatever.
Capitol* - I thought all the Russian bots were out of service
We need to stand with her before he comes after everyone.
*cough Elon, * cough cough Peter Thiel, *COUGH Melania….
If only Democrats had the fucking balls - if/when they have power again - to try to do the same to Melania.
We shouldn’t normalize denaturalizing citizens.
We should throw them in giga jail for the rest of their lives.
