Members of Congress expressed outrage at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deceiving eight men who were recently deported to South Sudan, as revealed earlier this week in an investigation by The Intercept. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., called the expulsions “abhorrent.”

Before the men boarded a plane in May, officials told them that they were being sent on a short trip from Texas to another ICE facility in Louisiana. Many hours later, the plane landed in Djibouti.

      They need to start fighting fire with fire. It’s not like the other side is that intelligent in a lot of ways, so trying to fight with logic isn’t going to get this done. Start a misinformation campaign like they do or something. Damn glad it ain’t my problem, don’t get me wrong. But I do see both sides of it, and democratic arrogance is how we are here too, in a lot of ways.

      As brain dead as this is, maybe quit running women in must win elections. I ain’t saying it’s right, or that’s fair or just (it shouldn’t even be a thing). But it’s literally stacking the odds against you in insurmountable fashion. Nothing against Kamala, but if was pretty clear right out of the gates she was going to lose, and they just ignored it.
