MAGA are the high-flying Globetrotters posterizing everyone on the court. The Democratic professional class — politicians, pundits, think tankers, and operatives — are the Washington Generals, paid a lot of money to be pantsed.

Do they? Hey can you settle a bet with me and @FauxLiving about how many Democrats support ICE?

Would you say it’s all of them, or like, half of them or what?

    i dunno the amt but those in office who are not actively calling out ice and passing or attempting to pass laws to control them are doing so because they support them.

    dem / rep / liberal / conservative - it’s all right wing politics.

    1. It’s 7. One of whom has apparently issued a mea culpa for all the nothing that’s worth.

    Still, can’t pass up the chance to shit on the Dems as a party.

    Did you read that? Because that’s not a thing.

    I’m talking about funding. Not decrying attacks on Israel.

    But I digress from your pointless lefty masturbation. Fap on.

    Do you not find it suspicious that 7 Dems voted to continue funding the DHS? The exact number needed to pass the bill? Dem leadership can talk big game about not supporting ICE or how dissapointed they are, but when they publicly announce they aren't going to whip votes for no, it does feel like the Dem leadership is tacitly supporting ICE.
