@jacksmith007@mbreezy We lost because , 1) its a midterm wyj a republican president, 2) because the gass pices and economy wasn't great and it was easy to blame Trump for the war, and 3), because the senate, Thune in particular are lazy, ant-maga bastards who stalled the agenda after the 2025 madate
@LottaFaChina@ScottPresler@SenateGOP All of the senate either supported thune or wouldn't stand up against him.. so, primary EVERY senator?.. with WHO? when are the normal citizens with things actually at stake going to get off the couch and get involved or run for office?
@ScottPresler Betrayed, enraged, and defeated.. for the moment. It's starting to feel hopeless. Obviously the spoken answer is going to be, "don't give up, get involved and fight harder".. but, idk. Honestly I probably have no right because ive done next to nothing while you've been nonstop!
The Republican Senate just voted for Senator Thune to continue to lead the Conference in the next Congress.
Republicans learned absolutely nothing.
Congratulations.
Trump is right. It’s hard to deport someone who has worked hard for 15 years and broken no laws beyond entering the country illegally.
I spent over a decade teaching in a community with many illegal immigrants and their children. I knew genuinely good people, wonderful families, and incredible kids. They weren't abstractions to me. They were people I cared about and wanted to see succeed.
I understand the emotional difficulty of enforcing immigration law. I've experienced it firsthand.
But there's a fundamental difference between judging an individual through the lens of personal experience and governing a nation through the rule of law.
It's easy to make exceptions when we're confronted with a sympathetic story. We see a hardworking father, a devoted mother, or an innocent child, and naturally want to spare them hardship.
But my personal feelings about those individuals cannot determine whether the law applies to them. Nor can anyone else's.
And with immigration, the consequences extend far beyond any individual case. We're deciding who may enter our country, remain here, and become part of our national community. If those decisions are ultimately determined by who manages to get here and whose story moves us most, the consent of the governed becomes increasingly meaningless.
The hardest cases are precisely when our principles matter most, because the entire purpose of having laws is to establish rules that transcend our individual sympathies, prejudices, and emotions.
If enforcing the law depends on our sympathy for those who break it, we no longer have the rule of law. We have a collection of suggestions subject to the whims of our emotions.
@MikeWilnau@amitylee13 Americans did. Then the wages escalated and then compounded as labor unionized then people said we cant afford to pay that so the same people who rallied for higher wages and unions decided to import cheap labor and displaced the very people they claimed they wanted to help.
John Podesta’s think tank published the playbook with a list of states to flood with illegals, grant citizenship, and change the political landscape irreversibly.
"Demography is destiny."
Demographic replacement is a well-funded goal of the left.

@SharronMcKenna5 It's within his constitutional rights to ask questions and know whi the cop is and refuse to answer questions. U think he should've presented his id and insurance sooner, but people blindly answering every question and demand from cops makes abusive cops worse
@shikamaru317@DailyMail Like a 5 year limitation. I know thetr can be situations where the woman would be unable and unsafe to speak out, but 5 years should be plenty of time to get out and speak out.. and if not.. idk. But we need to stop us8ng this a revenge tool in those who threaten power
@CatholicAtlanta Ok.. so the crime rate is so normal you don't even care anymore.. On top of being comfortable with crime, addicts, and dirty streets you insult us for not agreeing "overactive amygdala"
