Voting ‘no’ on bills and nominees is very easy for them. They don’t do it.

How’d the GOP force the Democrats to send a ‘thank you’ to ICE for their current crackdown?

This is false.

  1. Republicans control all three branches of government. The Dems could vote no on everything and it'll still pass without a few Republicans also voting no, which they have proven they won't do.

  2. A lot of this bullshit is coming from executive orders that shouldn't be allowed, but the Republican controlled supreme Court is hand waving that shit through. These COMPLETELY BYPASS CONGRESS.

  3. Literally ANY procedural rule the Dems could use to thwart them is a hand wave from some Republicans away from not existing.

I dont like ice and I dont like the democrats who sent a thank you note.

Then stop repeating the lies they’re telling to pretend they can’t do anything about it.

What’s the material difference between a Democrat vs someone who’s not a Democrat but dutifully repeats their propaganda?
