Rep. Jerry Nadler, a New York Democrat, said anyone who commits any crime of violence is already inadmissible and any immigrant convicted of an aggravated felony is already deportable.

"Sexual offenses and domestic violence are serious crimes, and if this bill fixed some gap in current law, I would have no problem supporting this legislation. But that is not the case here," Nadler said.

"In reality, the redundancies in this bill all but ensure that no additional dangerous individuals would face immigration consequences if it were to become law," he said. "Instead, the overly broad definition and lack of any waiver authority in this bill would result in extremely harsh and unintended consequences, including the removal of survivors of domestic violence."

Not sure what you meant by "hold serve" but anyway it's routine for the party in power to lose seats in the midterms. It's actually kind of weird when you think about it, since it seems a lot of the same people that voted one way turn around and vote the other way every two years, but still it's a pattern.

And Elon will probably make that more likely. He just spent a month telling the great and good American people that we are all retards who can't do complex jobs and should just settle for shit jobs at shit wages. Clearly he doesn't mind letting his contempt for pretty much everyone show, and people might just get a little sick of that in the next two years.

It depends how people evaluate success r72. My guess is they will at least partially succeed in deporting millions of people. They will be heavily focused on that, and at least some people around Trump will be hugely invested in making that happen. And his base will love it, at first. Later, when it sinks in that that's millions of people who were doing very cheap labor and accepting all kinds of shit to do it and now they're gone, the whole country might rethink things.

I'm assuming most of the people who slither into their cabinet posts will suck, but honestly I can't imagine them losing any votes for them. Most peopleseem to assume that Republicans will suck at actual governing, and may even prefer that, so I'm certainly not counting on a lot of people voting for the Democrat because some Education Secretary is a stupid asshole.

But there's always those few big Departments, like say the Pentagon, where the Defense Secretary is expected to not be a completely useless drunk fuckwad, and they might suffer if Hegseth actually gets in.

I can't tell; are you being facetious?

I hope you were. Because you are WAY off the reality.

If the Democrats ever get the presidency again, it will only be because the Republicans fuck it up royally. Much more than they usually fuck it up. That's what the USA does - elects Republicans to fuck everything up, and then elects Democrats to clean up the shit show.

And the Democrats are complicit in this dynamic.

But most of us aren't even sure a Democrat can ever get elected again. Legally. The Republicans have four more years to gerrymander, destroy voting rights, and everything else they LEGALLY and politically can do to affect elections.

The Democratic Party may be gone for good. We can't fix it until we admit it's broken and find some way to fix it. Otherwise we will forever be Lucy and the football.

We had our chance to fix what allowed trump to win last time and for whatever reason - or for many reasons - we were unable to do it.

[quote]H.R. 7909 purports to add new grounds of inadmissibility and deportability for “sexual offenses,” adds a new ground of inadmissibility for domestic violence and other related offenses, and expands the current ground for deportability for domestic violence.

[quote]If that were where the bill stopped, it would be almost entirely redundant to current law. Let me repeat: because all of the conduct described here already constitutes a deportable offense, this bill would ensure that no additional dangerous individuals would face immigration consequences. Zero.

[quote]But as has been the case in every one of the dozen or so immigration messaging bills we have considered so far, this sloppy, poorly conceived, poorly drafted legislation has far-reaching and unintended consequences. At least, I hope they were unintended.

[quote]Because this bill includes overly broad definitions and lacks any waiver authority, it threatens to sweep in far more people than it should, including the survivors of domestic violence.

Nancy Mace is quite performative. If she wants to put away sex offenders, maybe she should start with the male “friend” (whom she won’t identify) who allegedly assaulted her when they were teens.

This was the typical halfassed bullshit thrown together by a GOP cunt and Democrats treated it accordingly. And they can just say that and be done with it.

R118 Exactly. Republicans bait the Democrats with flawed legislation on hot-button topics to make them look bad when they reject it, and now Elon’s blacklisting them so that his Republican benefactors gain more power in the House and Senate. Elon doesn’t care about sex offenders — he donated millions to one and is his right-hand man. All Elon cares about is his ego, tax breaks, and corporate deregulation.

To the low-info freaks shrieking about "progressives", you must quickly admit that the progressives you are talking about always find fresh reasons not to vote on election day. The legislative achievements are precisely zero and the only thing they get jazzed about is screaming "Death to moderate Democrats!" and getting Trump elected. Every bit of progress anywhere has been created and legislated by DEMOCRATS (and the voters who show up and vote) who actually make progress possible.

Time to grow up.

There are many loathsome figures from the alt.right who’ve stirred up hatred against impoverished, vulnerable and marginalized people, but Elon’s the first to put his young children in the line of fire to protect his own ass from retribution, arguably making him the vilest one of them all.

[quote][R89] I generally agree with you but it’s just that every non political person I know is a Trump supporter. Some of them didn’t vote. When I ask them who they would have voted for, they say Trump. Trump should have been prosecuted by this AG. It’s sickening that he wasn’t.

Exactly. Trump has a lot of support from everyday Americans that the election results did not show.

And he's only gained more supporters since then. People are jumping on the bandwagon.

Burying your head in the sand and doubling down on far-left progressiveness is not the answer in a country where most people are moderate/conservative and religious.

If that's true, and that's debatable, it's because there's a well-funded attack machine trained on it.

But since you're dispensing tough-love wisdom, how should the Dems fuck over trans people without making themselves look like craven assholes to the moderate voters who don't think trans issues matter that much? How far should they go to attract trans-haters? Will the trans-haters see Dems as fellow trans-haters or will they just hate them more because they're johnny-come-lately to trans-hate?

If the Dems are in favor of federal prisoners getting tax payer paid for sex change, anything that allows men born with a penis playing in competitive sports against those born female, anything that does not come down hard on protecting children

R137 Bob Casey in Pennsylvania also got voted out, after he fought for pension protections. Same with Sherrod Brown in Ohio.

[quote]If the Dems are in favor of federal prisoners getting tax payer paid for sex change…

R132 That was in effect during Trump’s first administration, because transition care was and still is currently deemed medically necessary, so the actual issue is that Democrats are both pro-healthcare for federal prisoners AND believe gender transition to be healthcare. However, conservative pundits have compressed the two issues into one to fan the flames of hate. What Republicans are really against is transition medicine and surgeries for ALL transgender people, but they’re too cowardly to come out and say that, so they graft illegal immigrants and prisoners onto the issue to gain public support.

by Anonymousreply 148January 8, 2025 10:06 PM

R147 The point is that in order to ban trans “healthcare” for prisoners, it has to be banned for non-prisoners first, but the Republicans are not going for that angle because Americans currently have a degree of sympathy for transgender people who have not committed any crimes. That likely will change during the next 4 years, though.

by Anonymousreply 149January 8, 2025 10:16 PM

Republicans object to the idea that transitioning is health care, not to the delivery of health care in general to prisoners.

Well, I'm sure a fair number of them object to providing any kind of health care, but the trans issue is separate in their minds.

R150 JHC there is no evidence any groups are advocating that there be no health care for federal prisoners. That is beyond silly to suggest. QAnon

Harris made a strong statement about transition care for prisoners inc surgery one election then said just about nothing at all the next election, She sure did not clarify or refute.

She got clobbered over the trans statements she made by very effective ads, The gop not running those ads would have been political malpractice.

Those who think the trans issue did not hurt Dems are totally clueless.
