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.

    The GOP will bankrupt your country and massacre thousands on thousands before they change.

    Get some fucking perspective and take action instead of moping.

      Isn’t that the point? That we shouldn’t wait for the DNC to act but take matters into our own hands? That’s not moping, it’s saying no one is coming to save us so we don’t need permission to act.

        I understand your point, but…

        They’re not taking matters into their own hands either. They’re just waiting for someone DIFFERENT to come save them.

          Isn’t this the meme “I like pancakes” - “So you hate waffles?”

          Recently went to a community organized meeting where we coordinated ICE watch actions, how to pressure our school board, care packages for those they release, etc. They also asked us to vote and to talk to our families about voting.

            I’m of the opinion that these doomers are either bots or closet republicans. Democrats have made mistakes but its suspicious that they never talk about the people actually doing the awful things that the Democrats are supposedly not doing enough to save them from while not holding any majorities.
