The Cruelty Remains The Point

Not one House or Senate GOP member would vote to impeach. Not a single one.
An exception might occur should a member be willing to give up their office after an affirmative vote, and take themselves and their family into hiding in a foreign country.

It’s just so easy to nab them at their hearings. Is this any less egregious than the ad that shows them grabbing a girl because “she looks like them”?
But let’s not stop there. How about a military wife, mother of a 1-year-old
ETA: and this gives them an easy source for up to 80,000 more spouses here under Military Parole in Place
This case, first highlighted by the nonprofit military news outlet The War Horse, highlights the impact of immigration enforcement on U.S. military families, which lack guaranteed protection from detention or deportation. According to the advocacy group Fwd.us, as many as 80,000 undocumented spouses or parents of military personnel may currently reside in the United States.
Military Parole in Place is a discretionary program that allows undocumented spouses, parents, or children of U.S. military members—including active-duty, Selected Reserve, or honorably discharged veterans—to remain in the country temporarily and avoid deportation. It also provides a lawful entry record (“parole”) that can help eligible individuals apply for a green card without leaving the U.S.

I don’t know how you do it, David Kurtz. Day in and day out without fail. I’d be totally despondent by now. Actually, I am, but I can walk away from commenting or writing on today’s state of affairs if I have to for sanity’s sake, unlike yourself. Thank you for your service to us TPMers.
What a mess we’re in, huh? Bums me out too.

MM (quoting from elsewhere): “It was a stark decision from Roberts using circular reasoning that will serve to empower those seeking to discriminate against transgender people.”
Well, what do you expect from the guy who literally wrote, “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race”?
