Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

She should be in jail for lying to judges
and she is running against Ilhan Omar who is one of the most progressive representatives in the house. lol, lmao, get fucked chud.
Yeah I could believe people change. Maybe she was ignorant when she got into it and wanted to right the wrongs she committed. But then to run against someone who is already fighting against ICE? It feels more like opportunism than redemption. Maybe put in some pro-bono work for a few years and then come back if you really mean it.
Yeah this is the Democrats' wet dream though. I see nowhere in this article her mentioning abolishing ICE. Meanwhile Omar has called for abolishing ICE, which is what definitely should happen period, no compromises at fucking all there.
So it's pretty easy to see why the Democrats want her instead of Omar. Again, the Democrats want to reform ICE, not abolish it. Fuck that. All of ICE deserves to be hung by the neck until dead like the Nazis they are.
I know the person I trust most with immigration reform is someone whose job it was to cover for the Gestapo and ~~quit~~ gave up in front of the judge and was fired because that became too hard for her.
If she wants to help heal the system, she could work pro bono for ICE's kidnapping victims. But I guess the obvious alternative is to try unseating someone who already advocates meaningful reform.
I'm pretty sure she was fired before quitting.
True. I misremembered. Thanks.
I wish her nothing but loss and endless shame.
and bed bugs. those sound horrible.
I also wish her some wet socks and dog hairs in her bra.
Wet socks in a bra sounds really awkward how would you even explain that to someone
And stepping barefoot on Lego
Ex-ice
is disqualifying all by itself.
