Claiming to “love the smell of deportations in the morning” the bitch with bone spurs essentially declared war on the city I live in. In a typical Chi response to his plans on conducting major immigration operations in Chicago, Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth had this to say:
“Take off that Cavalry hat you draft dodger. You didn’t earn the right to wear it.”
Up close and personal changes things. If you don’t know her she’s a badass wounded warrior that gave her legs in her service to America.
From her website: “… an Iraq War Veteran, Purple Heart recipient and former Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs who was among the first handful of Army women to fly combat missions during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Duckworth served in the Reserve Forces for 23 years before retiring at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in 2014. She was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2016.”
What’s happening around the country isn’t something that happens only to “them” and not affect “us”. This is what happens to “them” because they’re relying on “us” to do nothing about it. By the time it starts affecting “us” it’s too late, because they already know how to carry out the assault successfully. If you ever wondered what people in Germany were doing during the rise of the Nazi’s, you’re doing it now.
Authoritarians thrive on our silence, as if it’s pre destined and there’s no other option. Not true. This is the time to be leagally loud, non violent and visible. Democracy and freedom are not passive and bitching on social media isn’t enough.
Spin Doctor Speaker Mike Johnson claimed that Baby Hands McLetcher was an FBI informant for the Epstein Pedo-files. Last week it was the Democrat’s hoax. Now he says he made a mistake in terminology. Maybe he realized in order to be an informant you have to witness a crime? Lets not forget that having sex with underage women means raping children. The White House press secretary called the victims that spoke at a recent press conference “political props used by the Democrats to distract from Trump’s accomplishments.”
Interrupting the conference with a fighter jet flyover showed just how petty they are and distracted they want you to be.
POTUS seems front and center but Republicans ignore it, preferring to steal our healthcare to give tax breaks to billionaires.
An anemic labor market saw 42,000 manufacturing jobs being lost since April. A dramatic decline, there are now more unemployed people than available jobs. With more job seekers than positions we’re in for a rough ride. Yale’s Budget Lab estimated that the new tariffs will cost the average American household $2,400 this year. Despite the rising cost of goods in just about every market, the White House says the tariffs are working.
After SCOTUS lifted limits on roving immigration patrols using racial profiling, Justice Sotomayor had this to say “Yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket… We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent.”
Since it’s unconstitutional to factor in race in college admissions, it should be one way or the other. Not both to suit your politics. Those brown and black people sure do scare those white ones in power who so love having someone to point at and scapegoat.
Fills the hole in their soul.
