Hearing someone explain to you that they are a Republican should produce the same reaction as watching a sweaty-faced, bleary-eyed drunk explain his big upcoming timeshare-based real estate investment plan to you.

Democrats are starting to clarify that Republicans are unpatriotic. They are also helping people realize Republicans are bad Christians, failed husbands and fathers, losers, weaklings, cowards. This is an embarrassing brand that degrades anyone associated with it. These ads only prove it further.

I remember my economics professor in the late '80s showing me, on a blackboard. how the death penalty and death row, economically makes no sense. times as much to keep someone on death row as it would be to just put them in life in prison. it was backed with statistics and made a lot of sense

If you spend any time reading up on what happens to people being executed in the United States, you will very quickly see why the death penalty should be abolished. Executions are botched far more often than they want you to know. It's torture, it's inhumane.

Asylum is already only granted to a select few who meet specific qualifications. But the Trump administration’s DHS has replaced qualified, experienced immigration judges with ideological hires to carry out their mass deportation operation. They’ve turned Chicago hearings into a kangaroo court.

It’s also the reason we started sending male-female teams to do reconnaissance in urban areas. Most people just see a dude and his girlfriend and don’t look twice. I think we’ll likely find out this was state sponsored, and spoiled by sheer dumb luck.
