Can they take NC, too?

GOP is great at branding, but I'm notnsure if they have thought through the consequences of implementing this.

Rep. Mike Collins Reintroduces the Laken Riley Act

Washington, D.C. – Today, Representative Mike Collins (GA-10) reintroduced the Laken Riley Act for the 119th Congress. This legislation, which passed the House last year with overwhelming bipartisan support before stalling in the Senate, gives ICE and state governments more resources to fight...

If you’re alluding to the need for much more prison capacity, I assure you they’ve not just thought of it. It’s one of the chief motivators. Private prison companies have been dumping cash into GOP coffers by the truck load.

I think the Left had a good chance at truth, but they ruined it with their excesses and lost this one just like they lost the common voter and lost the election. Now X is a sewer. Look for more lunacy on Facebook.

If you control the language, you control the story and I think the average person just got tired of forced words like Latinx, or changing master bedrooms to primary bedrooms, man hole covers to person hole covers, heteronormative, BIPOC, etc. Unfortunately, we are going to pay a high price.

what a load of fucking horseshit. have some shame.

The people that voted for Trump are the joke. They all fall into at least one category:

1. Rich and greedy
2. Racist and bigoted Christian nationalists
3. Complete idiots

Can I add impoverished and bitter to the list?

This man is so mentally addled.

Detention capacity is one thing that stood out. That bit about AGs being able to sue Homeland Security...can really go sideways.

 

[CRHeel94]

Every couple of days I have the same thought.

"America, what have you done?"

 

[aGDevil2k]

Canada would make the USA blue again. And OMG the magas would hate it.

They would preemptively gerrymander it.

They think Trump will help them? That falls under idiots.

Yes. Part of the plan. What you're seeing in slow motion is the return of nullification to the US. States want the ability to selectively pick and choose which federal laws to follow. Ignoring or defying the laws are one way, but that's a bit dangerous because you know, military. Destroying the federal law from within is a better option. If states can sue about anything immigration related, then the feds will just stop trying and that will allow Texas and other states to do what they really want.

You are surely familiar with mendacious politicians who lust after the power to inflict misery on people because of who they are. I think you've been victimized by those types of people. Well, those exist in America as well, and a lot of them hold offices at the state level. These are the people who get hard thinking about separating children from their parents.

American politics makes more sense if you make sure not to forget that most of the GOP, especially in the south, would have a very favorable impression of Riot Montt if they knew who he was. Some of them would love to be him. Minus his attempts to minimize graft.

The correct response to this is "How is this going to lower the cost of eggs?"

Some variation on that - eggs, milk, bread, rent, gas, etc- needs to be repeated in response to every one of these nonsense actions.

The answer is immaterial, but maybe, just maybe, people who voted on those issues will start their wheels turning.

I like the idea, but I'm skeptical. The concern about egg prices ended on November 5. Eggs could be $20/dozen for the next four years and we wouldn't hear a damn word about it.

Not entirely true. Just yesterday, there was a 3 minute report on the Today Show where their economic contributor reported about the high price of eggs and other foods and listed all sorts of reasons for that [bird flu chief but not the only]. Not a word in that report blaming Biden or the current administration or wondering why he hadn't done anything about it. Unlike even their reporting back in the fall.
