You jump on the wheel well of a plane...that don't make you a refugee. But agreed it's a messy situation for those that helped USA. Keep in mind, there are potential refugees, ie. people being tortured right now. And people that were tortured and are sitting on our border with Mexico. Christians in or from Iran, English speakers in the Francophone majority Cameroon, Nigeria...and East Africa...girls who dont want female mutilation, gay Africans or central Americans, central American folks targeted by gangs, women who are beaten and the country doesn't protect them...

under Biden, the State Department has approved 34,500 Special Immigrant Visas for Afghanistan. So far. Under Steven Miller how many?

In the land of a surfeit of free vaccines, this is the dark day when we crossed the line of over 100,000 hospitalizations, more than 25,000 patients in the ICU (highest for the pandemic), over 1300 deaths, and over 186,000 new cases.

Man, I'm not much of a conspiracy guy, but even the traditional LeFtiSt MeDiA is really hawking for another helping of war here. Everyone seems so sad that the grift is over. Should probably put some boots on the ground in a small African country or something just so they don't get the shakes.

The effective banning of abortion in TX (& soon half the country) is both horrific & only half of what's unsettling about this decision. Legitimizing & financially incentivizing narcs is going to tear society apart & those warning about Stalinist threats to free speech are silent

The US already has plenty of boots on the ground in Africa.

There's obviously no way of knowing, but we know that older people are dying at significantly higher numbers than younger groups and that the unvaccinated are far outpacing the vaccinated.

As Republicans tend to hold significant majorities in both groups, it's not a reach to say they're actively killing off their base.

It would be macabre if it wasn't so preventable.

His point makes no sense. He even says they were already compensated for their property. What is his argument that they would be paid again?

He's referring to the UK when he says they were paid. Most other countries resolved slavery by buying the slaves' freedom and legally abolishing it (kind of negotiating with terrorists but whatever). His argument is that since the US fought a war and just skipped to abolition, slave owners would still be owed reparations. It's just dumb as all hell.

ya I mean if the slave owners wanted reparations then they shouldnt have seceded. btw, did the Union compensate the slave states that didnt secede? Im not gonna look it up but I would bet they did.

Manchin apparently done working with Senate Dems to get a voting rights bill to the floor of the Senate.

Quote:
Among the voting rights provisions included in Manchin’s proposal are expanding early voting, mandating automatic voter registration, making Election Day a holiday, requiring states to notify voters about polling place changes at least seven days ahead of time, and making sure provisional ballots are counted even if they were filed at the wrong precinct, among other things.

The campaign finance reforms Manchin supports include the disclosure of “dark money,” tightening the ban on coordination between candidates and super PACs, requiring tech platforms to disclose political advertising, and a mandate for campaigns to disclose any contacts with foreign actors. He also supports a provision to ban partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts and ethics provisions to strengthen foreign lobbying enforcement and tighten conflict of interest rules, including requiring that presidents and vice presidents divest from any financial investments that could pose a conflict of interest after taking office.
Going to be historical levels of trolling for him to negotiate the bill, get what he wants (which was basically a voter ID it seems like), and then refuse to challenge the filibuster when it inevitably happens to your own bill.
