    WTF? Seriously, WTF? Anyone want to step up and defend this indefensible abomination?

    This is the definition of unAmerican.

    E.O.s do have an effect in the Executive Branch as far as policy goes and they will read the law however they want to justify the policy. The VA is in the Executive Branch. It may will be challenged, but rules have already been changed.

    Yeah but a lot of this stuff is absolutely illegal under existing laws

    An EO that says "Do an obviously super illegal thing from now on, because I declare it!" is a nullity IMO - it isnt' commonly understood this way but it should be.

    they are actively declaring war on the other side

    Idk what it will take for Democrats to wake the hell up. There is no trying to understand these people. There is no coming together. There is no reaching across the aisle. There is no finding common ground.

    these people simply lack humanity and are devoid of any morals…it is time to stop playing games and treat them as such

    Who does this sh*t? These are genuinely evil people

    They democrats know, it is the American people that NEED to wake up and stop voting for a party that is stealing from them and taking away their rights.

    The DEMOCRATS warned us....too many didn't believe it....just like 1933 Germany.

    Do they DD? The head of the DNC was just talking that come together kumbaya nonsense 2 days ago. Dem leadership remains as weak and feckless as ever.

    it is the American people protesting ICE completely ignoring due process and snatching up people at immigration hearings, deporting 4 year olds with cancer and refusing to give the poor child access to their cancer meds, sending people to an El Salvador prison, etc while 75 Dems just signed a letter thanking ICE

    Well the DNC is way behind but AOC, Bernie, Walz, Harris and many others in leadership have been spot on.

    unfortunately, the Dems that are bringing the urgency and aggressiveness the moment requires are in the minority

    They're going to keep at it.

    Otherism is a self-eliminating policy. As you persecute and exhaust your options for the targeted demographic, you need to pick more and more groups to other. You're creating a larger and larger galvanized opposition and eventually isolate yourself.
