1. What do you mean by "holding public servants accountable"? 2. And why do you think I am opposed to UHC? Is it because I don't support taking away the people's private health insurance when they would rather keep it?

1. Well I just think that having the country be ran by a cabal of geriatrics owned by corporate interests that allows for the rape and murder of America's impoverished groups by the systems that are supposedly supposed to protect them is a bit shit. I'd rather they be in jail instead of Congress.

2. Ok then, list the evil actions that the Progressive movement in America wants to undertake?

Come on, explain please.

So your solution is for the Democrats to become unhinged extremists like the people they are supposed to be fighting against? That is making America worse, not better.

No. My solution is for the democrats to stop being corporate stooges and actually work for the common people.

Corporate stooge and establishment are just buzzwords for anyone people don't like. It's just like almost any foreign policy is labeled a war crime.

Israel was attacked. They had a right to defend themselves. Did they go to far? Yes but some here act like any foreign policy is a war crime.

I don't particularly care for unchecked capitalism and big corporations, but given how depraved the American people are, do they really deserve to just be given what they want. I think their basic needs should be provided for, but they shouldn't necessarily escape the consequences of their own actions.

Oh hey, are you ready to share what evils the American Progressives will inflict on the nation if allowed power?

Also, do I need to remind you about the time that you denied the US government led a genocide against Native Americans?

There wasn't any reason for Israel to attack. There is no evidence to suggest Iran was anywhere close to a nuclear weapon.

But the Eternall Revolutionary Islamic Muslim Republic government of Iran hates Israel and the Jewish People, supports Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. Hamas will do it again to Israel and the Jewish People when they can anyway they can. I have posted the links and video links on NS to prove my point and post and our point. I can assure all of you most of mine think like me on it.

One of the magical things about the word “but” ? Everything before it is horseshit. Embrace what you wrote after “but”. It’s what you truly believe.

We don’t need to suffer so the wealthy can have more. My grandparents had a farm which they purchased. My mom was able to buy a house with my granddads signature. A man has to do such things back then. I needed help from the parents to buy my house. My kid just finished school and has said she don’t think she can get a house on her own.

So a question. What actions did I commit for the consequence of trying to find a job after I was laid off due to age? What about my kid? She is trying for internships. No luck.

My niece is leaving the US. She has a science degree and will be taking of environmental law at Oxford. They also found her a couple internships in the mean time. What actions did she commit for having a couple internships canceled? To leave the US…..

You think they need to be close to getting nuclear weapons before being attacked? Heck no! If they take one baby step in that direction it is way too far.

Actually..

After independence, the first federal law authorizing the expulsion of non-citizens was the Alien Friends Act of 1798. The law gave the president discretionary power to deport any non-citizen he deemed "dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States".

Thank you for the information I did not know. I know you did not think this of me. But I did not believe deportation proceedings began under just President Obama. I figured he meant in terms of President Obama and President Trump. Actually now that I think about it, I forgot, this is the law President Trump is trying to use to deport illegal migrants and the leftist democrats are blocking wiht their legal challenges to the US Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court on Friday blocked the Trump Administration from using a wartime law to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members to a notorious prison in El Salvador, delivering yet another legal setback to President Donald Trump’s controversial deportation plans.

The ruling extends the court’s April emergency order barring Trump from using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants held in a Texas detention facility, after lawyers said the detainees were being put on buses towards an airport without a chance to challenge the decision via habeas corpus petitions.

Only two of the court’s Justices—Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas—publicly noted their dissent. Alito wrote that the Supreme Court had “no authority to issue any relief."

In its unsigned order on Friday, the Justices faulted the Trump Administration for only giving detained migrants 24 hours to raise legal objections: "Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster," the ruling said.

The Justices sent the case back to an appeals court to determine what due process the detainees should receive, as well as whether Trump’s deportation plan is legal, and how much notice the migrants are required to get.

Soon after the Court issued its ruling, Trump expressed his disagreement on social media. "THE SUPREME COURT WON’T ALLOW US TO GET CRIMINALS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!" he wrote. https://time.com/7286140/supreme-court- ... liens-act/
