Meow! Nasty attack by JD against Susie.
Vance: "I've seen so many people who will say one thing to the president's face — Democrats and Republicans — and then will do the exact opposite behind the scenes."

Crowd: "They're traitors!"

Vance: "They are."

when you read this it is very clear that Wiles thinks she is flexing the administration's muscle. relatedly, it is also very clear that the White House is completely delusional about its standing with the public. they are high on their own supply.

My 6 yo thinks our wise men statues (inherited from my great-grandma; we’re not religious so they don’t have any idea who Jesus is lmao) are drag queens. They keep calling them “the queens” and having them put on shows on the “stage” (the table behind our couch). It’s the absolute best

GOP lawmakers are seizing on Sunday’s tragic mass shooting in Bondi Beach, Australia to call for Muslims in America to face collective punishment, in yet another example of the right’s ongoing campaign of Islamophobia.

Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville (AL) wrote that all Muslims should be deported.
Republicans Call for Muslim Americans to Be Deported After Australia Shooting
“Islam is not a religion. It’s a cult,” said Sen. Tommy Tuberville. “We’ve got to SEND THEM HOME NOW.”…

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

You’re missing the part where they inevitably enact national ID & universal biometric identification. The very things conservatives once claimed would be unacceptable tyranny or even the mark of the Beast, but which they will blindly accept as legitimate because Trump, their god and king, says so.
Native-born American citizens don't have "immigration documents". And there's no requirement for naturalized citizens to carry their paperwork, either. And only about half of US citizens have a passport.

This is just fascism.

To give you a sense of how big a departure this year, the government doesn't do this for wanted criminals.
SCOOP: The Trump administration is providing the names of all travelers passing through U.S. airports to immigration officials in search of people with deportation orders, a substantial expansion of government efforts to draw on data to hunt down immigrants.

1. In exchange for her NDAA vote, MTG has announced that her national felony trans youth care ban will go to the floor December 17th.

It is not expected to pass into law due to the U.S. Senate.

Still, it will be a terrible historic moment for anti-trans bills.
