Republicans Push to 'Deport Them All' After D.C. Shooting

Applegrove: creating hundred of war aged, young males, from a targeted religion in the US with nothing left to lose sounds pretty reckless at this point. But that is what will be if they get threatened with being sent back to Afghanistan.

“Republicans are dramatically ramping up their anti-immigration rhetoric after the shooting of two National Guard members in D.C. by a suspect who is an Afghan national, with some calling to end Muslim immigration entirely and ‘deport every single Islamist,’” Axios reports.

They want a financially weakened middle class. The only people who do well in a recession

are private equity and hedge funds (they can gobble up smaller businesses that were previously doing great).

Don't forget all the people who are going to lose their jobs and attached HEALTHCARE to AI.

I wonder if it will be 5% of jobs? Or more. Does anyone know the estimates for job cuts in the coming years from AI? That's a lot of people who would need healthcare through the ACA markets in the years to come. And if Trump replaces Obamacare with something that allows pre-existing conditions to be denied care then those newly unemployed will be f***ed.

Why Republicans Are Fighting About the Nazis

“For years, Jewish Republicans often denied that the right had a serious problem with antisemitism, pointing instead to anti-Jewish bigotry on the left and celebrating President Trump’s support for Israel,” the New York Times reports.

“But now that problem is staring them directly in the face.”

“Tensions over antisemitism in the party, free speech and Israel have burst to the forefront of G.O.P. politics, and show signs of becoming a fierce point of contention in 2026 primary races and beyond.”


Applegrove: pretending to want to drain the swamp or be for replacing Obamacare with something better are all phony talking points to fool the base into voting GOP but the Nazi thing seems to be a promise its proponents actually want to keep.

Hey Vance! When price of rentals come down because deporting

undocumented people in the millions reduces demand for rental units like you said, the prices of apartments will go way down? Right? Right?

Hey Chumpster, This Is Part Of

I hope corporate American see a comeback of DEI

memes is profitable and very worthy.

American Airlines ✈️ honored Bessie Coleman, the first Black woman to earn a pilot's license 100 years ago, with a flight operated entirely by Black women, from maintenance crew to the all female crew from Dallas to Phoenix. ❤️

This is special, this is newsworthy.

The sepsis is one benefit of the anti abortion plan. No need to divorce your wife to get

a newer model. Plus you get to keep all the marital assets. I mean why if their goal is lots and lots of babies would they risk that by giving women horrible healthcare when they are pregnant? That's not going to increase pregnancies.

The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion.

In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%.

For those of you who know the ins and outs of discharge

petitions, can Trump put off next week's vote on releasing the Epstein files by having Bondi and the DOJ open an Epstein investigation into some democrats, like they just did? Will a new investigation stop the release of the Epstein files? Does a vote on a discharge petition expire? Will next week's vote be put off? What about the expected new Conressman from Tennessee who is expected to win for Republicans in early December? I don't know the detailed ins and outs of Congress.

Well we had to do the discharge petition before the

end of November because Mike Johnson is going to seat a Republican special election congressman from Tennessee in early December when the guy wins. Then we no longer will have the numbers for a discharge petition. I agree Trump and the MAGAs will have much in the way of sabotage planned.

Let's hope the discharge petition gets Democrats together

again and remembering who the real enemy is. I would be very frightened to see the polls from Tuesday and Wednesday during the day. Who you gonna back hungry or the sick? Then you remember that when you pick one side they have you playing off against each other. A 'Sophie's Choice' for sure that psychopaths are so fond of throwing at normal people. No matter what you decide the world is very diminished. That is all they do is diminish the world. Don't let them shrink your world. Love big and fight huge!
