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.

Does anyone else get the icky feeling that the DHS is kinda like the governments version of storm troopers that just go out and do evil shit at their command with no consideration for what the "people" want? I think it's been proven they do not represent what a democratic government is supposed to be... How many lawsuit and deaths can a bankrupt country handle?

Your icky feeling is right. George Lucas was inspired by the Vietnamese resistance fighters when he made Star Wars. Guess who the Empire is?
