On the other hand (arc),

In a written statement later on Monday, Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said U.S. President Donald Trump had targeted Omar — a Minnesota congresswoman and the first Somali-American lawmaker in Congress — with "vile personal attacks" for years.

"Now, less than 30 days until the midterm election, his violent mass deportation machine has descended upon the home of a duly elected Member of Congress and her family," reads the statement.

It was also signed by House minority whip Rep. Katherine Clark and Rep. Pete Aguilar, chair of the House Democratic Caucus.

"The American people deserve transparency, and we will deliver full accountability for the rogue abuse of power from the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice," they said.

That's cause he's a pos who enables this regime and Israel's too.

Schumer and Jefferies both need to be removed.

Whew, fortunately someone wrote a stern letter. Okay, we're back on track.

Since he explicitly said that his job is "too keep the left pro-Israel," his silence is perfectly in line with his job description.

Trump is doing him a favor if he success with this. Those pesky leftists keep making his political life harder by calling him our good his ineptitude. He could just sit back even further doing jack shit. Hell, he probably wouldn't even need to mumble about 'strongly-worded letters' if she and others on that end of the party were gone.

Yeah, it's not enough, but it's better than absolutely nothing, and more than they would have done for Omar than if this had gone down in 2017 I think

No surprise from this limp-dick, but ...I am surprised her squad have not been super vocal about this....like front page vocal! (I've read some articles/commentary here and there, but nothing very strong from them.)

Who will win at being the worst old guy alive? That's the problem with people after 70... Very unreliable at staying awake permanently. But they got a good 10 years before 80 and 20 to being 90 or dust.

God bless their dusky clunky hearts for all the bad things they have done and will still do.

Of course he hasn't. Omar actually cares and isn't a corporate ass licker. She is exactly what Mr. Stern Letter Glasses On The Tip Of His Nose Schnuck doesnt want in the Democratic party. Omar getting denaturalized and deported would be a win as far as he is concerned.

Because he's a scummy MAGA. When this is over, we need to investigate him and Jeffries, and we'll probably find that they've been getting paid by MAGA all along. Nothing else explains how they were so cooperative with MAGA at every step. They are 50% responsible for the rise, and re-rise of MAGA. We will always be under MAGA rule as long as the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries are in charge

I genuinely think things will devolve to the point that Americans using political violence against the establishment democrats is the only path forward. It's fucked up. But I feel like it's the only way America doesn't devolve into a nation ending civil war. Actually. Cuz looking from the outside I don't see the outcomes of any of your elections moving the needle anymore.

Voting out republicans doesn't solve the problem of establishment democrats preventing newly elected democrats from fixing anything.

edit: Hopefully I'm wrong. But this is what I believe will happen.

I don't know that violence is entirely necessary, but working toward the DSA becoming its own thing and letting the Establishment Dems crash in to the hard reality that nobody supported them in the first place, they just disapproved of them less than the absolute mayhem on the right should probably happen.

Upvoted; but please understand, I'm not describing what I want to happen. I'm applying my weapons grade autistic pattern recognition to my background in attending and paying attention to history classes.

The Republicans and Democrats are the sword and shield of the wealthy elites respectively.

I agree with you, it's not necessary. But I'm warning you that it's inevitable. Those are not mutually exclusive!

Obviously not everyone is going to agree with me on this. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Jeffries having a closed door meeting with Jared Kushner tells you everything you need to know about where he’s at.

Folks if we get the blue wave everyone needs to write their reps and tell them they cannot put Schumer or Jeffries anywhere near speaker or majority roles. It’s essential for ensuring we have a chance of the new congress doing what really needs to be done.

I don't think anyone should rule it out, I just don't think the death blow to the elites is going to come from partisan politics anyway. I think we're past the tipping point where the system as built can be salvaged.

There is no peaceful way out of conservatism. As long as they continue to exist, we will continue to be oppressed.

That's beyond the scope of what I'm saying. I only mentioned wealthy elites to illustrate the role establishment dems play in subverting progress.

MMW USA will either play an integral role in the global working class uprising, or no longer exist in it's current form by that time.

If you think Schumer's a pussy. then he's done his job well.

He exists for you to think he's a pussy. That is literally his purpose, and is literally the job his employers owners pay him for.

And he has a history of being a no-holds-barred fighter for what his owners want.

It's important to keep in mind that the wealthy have spent hundreds of years fighting to make sure that people in the US believe the word "liberal" means the opposite of what it actually means.

So instead of downvoting your response because of what it says, people will downvote you because of what they THINK it says.
