House Republicans have voted down an effort to block immigration enforcers from using federal resources to detain or deport U.S. citizens.
During a House Judiciary Committee meeting on Wednesday, Democrats tabled amendments to a sweeping budget bill that President Donald Trump has dubbed “one big, beautiful bill.”
One amendment introduced by Representative Pramila Jayapal, the Democrat from Washington state, sought to make clear Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) cannot detain or deport U.S. citizens under any circumstances. GOP lawmakers killed that amendment.
No. I have no need to blame you of anything you are still visibly hypocritically unrepentant for. Even in this very thread.
And no I’m not criticizing you for criticizing them. That’s a straw man. They deserve criticism. What I’m criticizing you for is assisting the fascist media. And the fascists themselves. Placing the the blame for something that is a problem with the entire system and Society at large , effectively, solely on Biden and Harris. They absolutely deserve criticism. And so do you. The laser focus on just Biden and Harris, yes they were the ones in office at the time, was deafening. The absence of constant criticism for the system that made their stance politically expedient and necessary. The lack of criticism for Republicans who cheered on the genocide, literally made people think Republicans were better. Do you want me to post the link again? In the end, as it always has been, and always will be. Republicans get to be lawless, and Democrats must be perfect.
What ever minimal impact the ratchet effect has. It pales in the face of that simple fact. When you grow up and become an adult. Often you realize it was more about what you didn’t say than what you did. I hope you find that realization. We (not democrats, they’ll be fine) couldn’t afford that loss. And we certainly can’t afford any more.
I’ll never see you breathe a word of unprompted criticism for the biden administration or for netanyahu and his genocide. Ever.
Bullshit. Anything that wasn’t vociferous support for the bidenyahu genocide was helping trump, according to people who were fine with trump winning as long as it meant their precious genocide continued unabated.
I blame people who sell weapons for genocide for selling weapons for genocide.
I blame all netanyahu’s simps in the US. Not just biden and harris. But when it comes right down to it, their administration actively assisted an ongoing genocide by providing it with arms, all the while claiming that they were working on a ceasefire that it’s clear that neither they nor any of their supporters, especially you, wanted.
If their stance was politically expedient, they might have won. They made an unpopular stand for centrists’ only policy and you ate it up because you love the results. Lots of dead Palestinians and you don’t have to fight for anything for at least four years. And you get a shaky justification for blaming anyone who dared to be upset at your genocide.
I criticized democrats when their support for your genocide came up. On a fledgling platform full of centrists who oppose progressives but not genocide. Who is it do you think I forced into the idiotic belief that republicans were better? The only people pretending that was a thing are people who don’t want their genocide to end until completion, regardless of which party completes it for them.
Yes, the party using its power and influence to support genocide and hold back anything you lie about wanting pales in comparison to one gadfly on a platform full of centrists that only get upset when someone tells them that genocide isn’t the greatest thing ever.
Condescension is how centrists react when someone wants to hold them accountable for their unwavering support for genocide and only genocide.
