Just as selfish as the Trump circle. "I'll destroy you if I don't get my way." Genuinely unbelievable coming from a member of Congress. Actually, it'd be less unbelievable if it came from the R side.

According to the Center for Migration Studies, under Trumps plan about 5.7 million U.S.-born, U.S. citizen children would lose one or both parents.

(54,650 posts)If the trump cabal can find a nation to take them, they'll keep them in the camps for who knows how long...could be years.
And trump has already said he'll suspend the Constitution so forget about the birthright citizenship for undesirables.
And who will stop them if they're in charge?
No one.

Day One Dictator will deport the non-citizens and incarcerate any and all real or perceived opponents, due process be damned. What could happen to Trump's opponents after their incarceration is what gets MAGA excited when the little blue pill fails.

(147,705 posts)Donald Trump has a message for voters who disapprove of President Joe Bidens Israel/Gaza policy from the left: The Republican intends to be vastly worse.

The Biden White House, for example, acknowledged this week that it is, as the Associated Press reported, weighing measures to help Palestinians living in the United States who want to bring family from the war-torn region.
Soon after, as Reuters reported, the presumptive GOP nominee shared his thoughts on the subject at a campaign rally.
Your towns and villages will now be accepting people from Gaza and various other places, Trump said, eliciting boos from the crowd. Under no circumstances shall we bring thousands of refugees. Last week, Trump described the pro-Palestinian protests as driven by tremendous hate while asserting that the violence at a 2017 white nationalist rally with some Trump supporters in Charlottesville, Virginia, when he was president was small by comparison.
Note, at one of his campaign events yesterday, Trump appeared to goad his followers in Wisconsin into booing Palestinian refugees.

At the same event, the former president also vowed to restore and expand the Muslim ban he imposed during his first term......
The former president also endorsed ongoing Israeli military operations, saying, We have to let Israel complete their war on terror. Its a horrible thing, but they have to do it. Trump added that Israel must clean out the cancer.
Lets also not forget a New York Times report from March that said top members of Trumps team want to expel Palestinians from Gaza.
Its as if the Republican is going out of his way to alienate voters who, given their frustrations with Bidens policy, might be inclined to give Trump a second look.
TFG will bring back the Muslim ban, give Bibi free reign to bomb and destroy Gaza and expel Palestinians from Gaza so that Jared can build his resorts.
If TFG is re-elected, Bibi Netanyahu will be free to destroy Gaza and finish the job he started. Bibi Netanyahu has not been able to destroy Gaza in the way he wants due to President Biden.

(100,437 posts)Any vote that is not directly a vote for Joe Biden is a vote for Trump. Not voting, or voting for someone off the wall insane like Jill Stein or RFK Jr, is a vote for Trump.
If you don't vote, someone else will do it for you. There's too much at stake in this election. We can't afford to lose.

(831 posts)In a highly charged political environment, youre not going to move the dial for your constituents without using language that could be upsetting to others. Using hyperbole and posturing is part of the process. Attention getting in order to make a point works. Using your soapbox is part of the job.

Being elected to congress comes with serious responsibilities that go beyond getting on one's soapbox and riling up crowds. Maybe focus on governing instead of perpetual activism.

(23,483 posts)Sadly, she has TWO black opponents, so she may win because of a split vote among voters who don't like her.
The primary is the only election that matters for her. The district is solidly Dem.

(44,614 posts)Tlaib has raised almost 7 million USD, probably well over that by now. Only 7 actively running House members of the 435 have truly outraised her (2 or 3 others have raised a few thousand dollars more as of the last reporting date).
AIPAC and other related groups (and the RW billionaires who back many of them, especially AIPAC) tried to recruit a Democratic primary opponent and everyone they approached said no, I am going to pass on that.
