Democratic leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives have condemned a raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home as “deeply disturbing” and accused the Trump administration of a “rogue abuse of power” just weeks ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Let’s see if they do anything besides strong words and maybe some paddles.

    I wonder if we’ll be able to send all of these ICE goons to the Hague once we get a DNC supermajority in office?

      You realize the regime isn’t giving up power right? We’re not simply going to vote our way out of this. Everyone absolutely needs to vote first, as a bare minimum requirement, but it’s not going to remove them. It’s gonna get real ugly pretty soon, like November, and then January.

      I really hope I’m being over dramatic, but they’re saying this shit themselves. They’re telling us they have secret plans to hold on to power.

        We’re going to vote, get your ass out there and vote if you live in the USA vote the candidate most likely to remove the GOP at all costs, and when that fails for clear and blatant corruption then you’ll finally have your willing and able masses to revolt with.

        Until then you’re just going to be treated as the sort of accelerationist that voted for Trump in the first place, so can it.

            You clearly don’t remember Trump’s first term. Right before it was over they were tear-gassing crowds right outside the whitehouse.

              Oh I remember. I also remember Biden not doing anything about any of it, and Harris losing the election as a result. Democrats chose Trump 2x by running candidates who couldn’t convince the electorate they were better. Fool me once, shame on me…

                Gosh, I wonder why Biden didn’t do anything about Trump tear gassing protests outside the white house? I also wonder why Obama didn’t do anything to stop 9/11 from happening. /sarcasm

      We can use those internment camps and alligator alcatraz locations they so thoughtfully set up to put all of us in.
