That's why the recess appointments are so important to them. And Thune has already signalled he is happy to bend the knee.

You mean "and then he became the US Attorney General."

That has to be a hell of a damning report.

When you start proselytizing your feelings about it including through seemingly bad faith posts on the Internet that beg the question.

Tom Homan

During the Obama administration, which deported a record number of people, he served as head of the ICE** **branch charged with arresting and deporting immigrants. For his work, he even won the nation’s highest civil service award. “Thomas Homan deports people,” declared a 2016 profile about him in the Washington Post. “And he’s really good at it.” *(*Homan reportedly keeps a framed copy of the story in his office.) After taking office, Trump said he had heard people describe Homan as “nasty” looking, and said, “That’s what I’m looking for.”

Lest we forget Obama was a centrist in progressive clothing (the tan suit obviously).

Obligatory "Thanks Obama."

"Take America back again" is a nice play on this sentiment.

  • From billionaires

  • From mega corporations

  • From generational wealth

  • From hedge funds

  • From venture capitalists

  • For kids and schools

  • For affordable and private (between you and your doctor) healthcare

  • For a living wage for everyone

  • For affordable housing

  • For you

I think the takeaway is that he's going even deeper into the ~~swamp~~ dumpster this time.

Republicans are the only ones who will care about this database. Tell them whatever they want to hear, then Ron Swanson that cushy job hard.

We can still hold out hope. MI is trash in this take, and the remaining uncalled could reasonably turn the tide in those states.

For now.
