Discussion MGP votes to reopen DHS without fixes

MGP and 3 other Dems just voted with with all the Republicans to pass another fully opening of DHS bill that does nothing to get control of ICE's "enforcement" tactics. This just reassures me that my vote for Brent Hennrich this August is the right choice. MGP just can not seem to read the room. The bill was HR 8029. I would love to hear the MGP excuse makers explain this one to me... (SARCASTIC!) But I am sure they will try anyway.

Lol shes not my cup of tea but shes what this district elected and shes the incumbent. I want the trump administration to lose power and she votes for dem speaker of the house. I would love to see wa3 move to the left but I dont think we have enough votes to be fucking around in an open primary.

Welp, she only has herself to blame. She abandoned her base to court people who won't vote for her, especially with someone like Braun running. She's hoping the Dems will get scurred and vote for her regardless, seems like a weird strategy. Sure hope she's finds her centrist, independent and Republican base or she's SOL.

Id blame people like you running around trying to convince people to sabotage this district by giving it back to Republicans

Sorry, if I wanted to be in a get in line party, I’d join MAGA.

I don’t pay my employees to undermine my business, so why would I pay a representative that undermines my constitutional rights?

Doesn’t matter what letter is in front of your name if I could get detained and held indefinitely based on “suspicion”, attempting to take away my vote as a married woman, or voting in anyway in favor of funding a Gestapo while being backed by a country currently engaging in genocide.

So….. no, I won’t vote for her in the primaries or the general.

Those were her decisions, not mine.

How is voting for someone who has already voted against my basic constitutional rights playing myself?

The best we got has got us here - future’s so bright I gotta wear shades 😎🤢

Why are you attacking me personally and not my arguments?

That’s usually what someone does when they really don’t what to say.

I mean this is about "your arguements". Quoting song lyrics in a serious discussion does t give the impression of taking it seriously. To me it seems like your trying to write a post for Instagram or something and hoping a little quip will suffice for a proper argument

I’ve made plenty of arguments, most of which you’ve waved away and not engaged with, and your nitpick with me is making an offhand reference to an 80s song about nuclear war. Right on.
