    Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is demanding answers

    And that’s all they can do - demand answers, which they know won’t be answered? All these fucking politicians are complicit - left and right.

    One side is carrying out the atrocities while the other watches and pretends to care.

    Yeah, that’s the end of the USA…

      Omar was calling for ICE to be defunded back in 2021 when Dems had power but the Biden administration wouldn’t listen. The Democratic party is useless right now but it isn’t her fault.

        Oh, he called for it? Big fucking deal. Anyone can “call” for something to be done. What did he actually DO? Nothing. Just like every other member of the democratic controlled opposition party.

          Have you ever held public office? Do you understand the limitations and possibilities of such a position? Do you know that you could have done more in the same situation?

          If you’re angry and disaffected, join the party and work from within, decisions are made by those who show up. Angry people on the sidelines are sidelined. I get that you wish you were listened to by your representatives more, but they’re listening to many and there’s only so much they can do.

          Also, when being critical it sure helps knowing what you are talking about lest you reveal you know little and understand less. BTW, Ilhan Omar is a woman.

      And as long as you guys have to first fight your own guys (judging by your downvotes), who are in the exact same spot but too oblivious to notice, this will never change… Sadly so, I’m inclined to add.
