More than half of the US was Spanish speaking - Florida, Louisiana (I’m aware if it’s French and creole connections), all of the west - before English became the language of government.We should also embrace that there are lots of places where the most common language is Spanish.

Absolutely. This will be stopped by local people standing up to protect local control over elections. Nothing is inevitable and he is floating things to see what the resistance looks like.

It does not matter if he believes in it. He is bound by it and our institutions have a duty to all of us to make sure he lives under its principles. He is a man not a fn-ING king.

Turns out the constitution the right clings to verbatim as written in the 18th century in original terms when it serves them, is actually difficult for them to get around when they want to be like George III. Nice job framers. Now we just need judges to follow the law and defend the constitution.

Weird how we have institutions like the justice department and the fbi that, were they not staffed with partisan loyalists, have a duty to investigate such evidence and prosecute when warranted. We have a congress that needs to make them explain why they won’t.

This cannot be repeated enough. The other big lie - that we had open borders - is accepted as true by so many. Biden’s immigration policy followed the law and deported people who should be deported and gave refugees a hearing that they are entitled to by law.

If there was any really substance here it would lead with the evidence not the allegation. More clickbait to distract from all the atrocities happening every day. Sickening we have to endure this clown show.

The administration believes it has the right to go after its political adversaries with violence. That is obviously what they are doing. It was never about immigration. If it was they would be in Texas.

It’s not like murderers were not being arrested prosecuted and often deported under the Biden administration. They are terrorizing the community they claim to be protecting.

I don’t disagree, the bills had their chances and didn’t get it done. Denver will bow out to the patriots and the pats will get spanked by either Chicago or Seattle. The bills could have beaten all three
