They're not going to know what hit them at the midterms. If there is any world where Dems don't win both houses, people are going to be in the streets very, very angry because it means that the GOP interfered with elections.


It will mean that the American people have seen the crap that democrats try to pull in an effort to gain power and they aren’t having any of it.


what crap?


Government shut down.
Gerrymandering like in VA and CA.
Advocating for illegal immigrants at the expense of citizens.
Obstructing to prevent Trump from doing anything - lawfare, filibustering, etc.

Four off the top of my head. There are more.


You know, it gets kind of exhausting refuting this kind of stupidly. Can we all agree that we are at the point where we start treating maga like folks treated children back in the day, better seen than heard?

Trump moved the goalposts anyway. Now he wants his voter suppression bill.


Voter security is not voter suppression.

If someone votes illegally, they are suppressing the vote of others.

It used to be that only people who absolutely could not get to the polls on voting day were able to vote absentee. I voted absentee as a government employee overseas. In those days, I had to get a notarized form to send to the state in order to get a ballot mailed to me.



Give us evidence of problems with voter security. You can't because there is virtually none.

Government shut down>>> "A shutdown falls on the President's lack of leadership. He can't even control his own party and get people together in a room. A shutdown means the president is weak," Donald J Trump

Gerrymandering like in VA and CA>>> wow, you're a real open book. In 2025, the following states redrew maps: Texas, North Carolina, Ohio, Utah and Missouri. FIVE states redrew their maps in favor of the GOP. One, California, in favor of Democrats. Four other states are trying or have tried: Louisiana, Indiana, Florida, and Virginia: 3:1 GOP to Dem. And from this you say: "Gerrymandering like in VA and CA"

Advocating for illegal immigrants at the expense of citizens>>> I don't even know what you are referring to. Your goons are the ones killing and detaining American citizens.

Obstructing to prevent Trump from doing anything - lawfare, filibustering, etc. >>> This is rich coming from the Party of No. If on ly the democrats had learned better from McConnell.

Really lame post, PP.

I guess you are not ok with trump doing a mail in ballot even though taxpayers pay to have him fly to palm beach weekly.

Project 2025 called for the privatization of the TSA, but it requires breaking the union first. That is what is happening here.

The reality is Democrats had no issue with ICE until enforcement became more serious. My view is that all undocumented immigrants should be deported, and if someone chooses to obstruct enforcement or harm themselves in protest, that is on them. It is literally 2 U.S. citizens on that side of this issue who have died in acts framed around ICE.

Meanwhile, there is no clean national database tracking crimes by undocumented immigrants against Americans, but Texas data alone shows illegal noncitizens were charged with over 1,100 homicide offenses, more than 78,000 assaults, and nearly 600,000 total criminal offenses from 2011 to early 2026, with over 224,000 convictions.

Texas is only about 8 to 9 percent of the U.S. population, so scaling that proportionally suggests nationwide totals would reach into the millions of offenses, including thousands of homicides and hundreds of thousands of assaults over a similar period.

On the labor side, about 9.7 million unauthorized immigrants were in the U.S. workforce in 2023, roughly 5.6 percent of all workers, showing the scale of their presence in the job market.

Whatever your politics, those numbers are far bigger than 2.

I'm confused: TX and FL started with gerrymandering mid-decade yet you only point out 2 states who took action after this fact. Then let's move to filibustering. The MAGA Senate can shut down filibustering at any time. Why are you not raising that with their leaders? My guess you are aware that Majority Leader Thune took a bill to Trump to end the shut down and Trump said no. There are enough votes to override a Trump veto, but Thune will not move the bill. That seems like a MAGA problem. What is your example of advocating for undocumented residents at expense of citizens? Is that adhering to the Constitution? Is that what you dislike?

Democrats have no problem with borders and border enforcement. It is a right wing myth that Biden had "open boarders" and that "millions of undocumented illegals poured into the country" - so, no, democrats didn't have issue with ICE until it became a masked paramilitary force using gestapo-like tactics to terrorize Americans.

What was your point?

Watching the news and seeing massive groups of people in Texas waiting 4 hours in line. All I can think is that this is an amazing terrorist Target. One suitcase with a him or a mass shooter could do so crazy human damage and social damage to the US.

In related news, I wouldn’t wait 4 hours in a security line to fly to see Jesus.

Very much under reported is the fact that Texas did this because of errors in the allocation of representatives following the 2020 census.

These 14 states had significant miscounts in the 2020 census
For the 2020 census, all states were not counted equally well for population numbers used to allocate political representation and federal funding over the next decade, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report released Thursday.

A follow-up survey the bureau conducted to measure the national tally's accuracy found significant net undercount rates in six states: Arkansas (5.04%), Florida (3.48%), Illinois (1.97%), Mississippi (4.11%), Tennessee (4.78%) and Texas (1.92%).

It also uncovered significant net overcount rates in eight states — Delaware (5.45%), Hawaii (6.79%), Massachusetts (2.24%), Minnesota (3.84%), New York (3.44%), Ohio (1.49%), Rhode Island (5.05%) and Utah (2.59%).

As explained below, as a result of these errors, Florida did not receive two additional congressional seats and Texas did not receive one more congressional seat. Meanwhile, two other states, Minnesota and Rhode Island, each retained a congressional seat that they should have lost, and Colorado gained a new seat to which it was rightfully not entitled.3

ITA.

This is a soft target for any would-be terrorists. Keep in mind that these crowds are generally tightly packed as they weave through the security lines and not one of the people in those lines have been screened.
