    “Under the proposal, individuals could also be removed from the U.S. if they engage in or have ever engaged in advocacy for those ideologies, or if they “write, distribute, circulate, print, display, possess, or publish” material supporting them.”

    Someone want to re-phrase the 1st amendment for him using really small words?

    The legislation seeks to amend existing immigration law to bar entry and naturalization, as well as create new grounds for deportation for anyone linked to what it describes as “totalitarian” parties, both foreign and domestic.

    Trumpism is pretty “totalitarian”. I wouldn’t be that upset if all the magas got removed from power, and the irony of their own law being used to do it would be delicious.

    That humor aside, this is a terrible idea that should be grounds for Roy’s immediate removal from office.

        Oh shit I guess it has been 30 seconds since you wished awful things on Americans so it makes sense you wrote this.

        While it is bad here, it’s not like we’re the only people with a growing fascist problem. Just like obesity and people giving us shit for decades, all of a sudden more countries are having some of these problems.

        Keep giving us shit, sure. But just don’t forget to learn from us and shut that shit down while you still can.

    Because nothing is more American than having the government regulate thought.

    I’m no longer sure if the above sentiment should be interpreted sarcastically or not.

        Ever try hot apple pie with a slice of cheese?

        It tastes like apple pie with cheese. I still don’t get why it’s a thing.

            Oh sure, with goat cheese, Gouda, or gruyere, I could totally see magic happening. But that’s not what people serve. They serve a cheese single, plastered on some shitty crust.

              i just have this image in my mind. the local coffee shop makes up this whipped cream cheese that is divine and i want some on a slice of blackberry pie as soon as i get a batch of ripe berries. hell yeah.

              but of course i’m going to have a sleep paralysis nightmare and the hat man is going to force feed me a pie with some kraft single with the plastic still on it tonight just you watch what did i do to deserve this

      As someone who has personally benefitted from actions of Chip Roy, I couldn’t agree more. My anecdotes will never outweigh the damage he’s done to countless people.

      Also, just cuz an asshole accidentally helps you doesn’t make them not an asshole.
