Donald the Dove, Hillary the Hawk By Maureen Dowd April 30, 2016
happy 10-year anniversary to this razor-sharp political prognostication
Republicans are refusing to separate DHS funding from the rest of the government funding bills.
Let’s be very clear: they are shutting the government down to allow ICE to keep killing Americans.
DHS: ‘Trust us, he was no choir boy’
World: ‘He was in fact a choir boy, Boy Scout, ICU nurse and all around stand up guy who died being a hero at the hands of absolute ICE zeros’.
The doxing has just only begun. Soon we'll have it all. This won't last forever, eventually it will end. We must never let them slink away...
‘Daddy, what did you do at work today?’
‘I smashed a woman’s car window, cut her seatbelt off and dragged her out of her vehicle for trying to turn left and go to her doctor…she kept screaming the whole time.’
Like it or not, the republicans have played the long game and had their eyes state houses, all the way down to local school boards that they could stuff with crazies.
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just launched flash bang grenades at protesters in front of federal building in Minneapolis—causing massive explosions. "It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy," tearful protester tells us.
WE'RE LIVE NOW ⬇️
The attack on our First Amendment rights continues. They won't stop until they silence us. We can't allow that to happen. I am so proud of my brothers and sisters who are in Minneapolis fighting these fascists right now. I truly believe we are at a tipping point in our nation's history.
Let's do this my man.
Dox them all, because when this is finally over, they are going to try and sneak away without repercussion.
There is something deeply beautiful about that.
It's also our neighbors, who wave at us and say hello everyday. The other arm of the secret police that we'll never know about. They make the calls to ICE, then slink away back to their lives. One of the more chilling aspects about all of this.
They'll lie about Renee right after murdering her. But don't you dare QUOTE Charlie Kirk or they'll come for you in every way imaginable.
Do your thing internet.
Incredibly vile and disgusting human being. I don't understand the rise of these cretins to "lead" our society. The worst of the worst.
Death threats from MAGA probably played a part in this...
Don't worry, the Dems will find a way to screw that up too.
Your weakness is unforgivable! Who are you fighting for?
agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish
If you guys screw this up, which looks likely, I'm leaving the Dem party and registering Independent. I am so disappointed. This is such an important moment in history and you're failing all of us. If you can't stand up to these fascists, then what' the point?
Me too. I am leaving the party over this, if true. Furious.
An absolute failure by the democrats. I simply can't believe how inept this is. Not only that, but the GOP can easily hang the shut down around their neck now, and they'd deserve it. Pathetic!
Liberals advocate for gun control -- to protect everyone's freedom, including the freedom of those like Charlie Kirk who disparaged that understanding of freedom.
He lost his freedom through the very tool of violence that liberals tried to protect him from.
Tweet from @dril with an edit. Original says: “Food $200 Data $150 Rent $800 Candles $3,600 Utility $150 someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my family is dying” The edit is that the candles line is crossed out and replaced with “Tariffs: $6 trillion”
March saw the third-highest number of layoffs in U.S. history, and 80% of them were caused by DOGE
This was before the tariffs
It's just...unbelievable
Everyone knows that the correct place to share classified information about military actions is in the bathroom at Mar-a-Lago.
Perfection.
