I guess we won’t know the terms unless it gets leaked. Hopefully ruinous.

Various filings in an ongoing legal fight show Millsap, who is white, making derogatory comments regarding race and ethnicity, including complaints about “Fucking Black People” and “nasty Jews.”
“Ryan’s public persona is different from who he is,” John Da Grosa Smith, Millsap’s former attorney, alleges in one filing, adding: “Ryan works hard to mislead and hide the truth. And he is very good at it.”

GOP Rep Drops Out of Race After Claim He Forged Signatures
He was running for Congress.
Doesn’t one box.
https://www.meidastouch.com/news/gop-rep-drops-out-of-race-after-claim-he-forged-signatures
TLDR:
The complaint alleged that 9 full pages of signatures all appeared to be written by the same person and the handwriting appeared to match that of Smith himself. Under Arizona law, anyone caught forging signatures on ballot petitions are not eligible to run again for five years.
Smith works as a Senior Director for Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA organization. Kirk frequently and falsely claims that Democratic candidates win using forged signatures on mail-in ballots, despite the fact that Republicans continue getting caught doing it.

Exclusive poll: America warms to mass deportations
https://www.axios.com/2024/04/25/trump-biden-americans-illegal-immigration-poll
The mere publishing of this horrid piece is just irresponsible IMHO. I know it’s Axios but really, WTAF?

The headline is particularly bad, making it seem as if supporting mass deportations is perfectly normal.
As with abortion, the deportations would only be the beginning. Birthright citizenship would be the next to go, and then naturalised citizens would be given second-class status.

Not to mention all of us who aren’t REAL Americans, since we are too Black, too queer, too leftwing, too loud as women, etc, etc…

Anyone who still thinks any of this Can’t Happen Here* is unfamiliar with the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation. They’ve been open about their plans and are prepared to act on them quickly if they win.
[* Still far too many Americans]

Yep. We ignore that at our peril. If they get the chance, they WILL do what they’ve told us that they want to do.

FTFY. I suspect they might just go with demotion to second-class non-voting resident, though, as deportation would throw a wrench into that whole “Gilead” plan.

I’m guessing she described shooting the dog in great detail to her children, you know, to show them how the world really is…
