    She is smart. I was smarter than she is and was also a loyal democrat at her age. But believe me, she can be converted. I was. She can also be wisened up.

    Who is this KKK you speak of? What do we Republicans offer them that they did not get while long term Democrats? I mean the Democrats created them. What has gone so wrong with the Democrats that now a David Duke supports a Republican?

    Blacks and even whites are getting out of the Democratic party. You guys sure did something wrong.

    The loyal far right can rage all they want, but the KKK votes GOP today and has for decades.

    The loyal far right, the KKK, and the others that associate with them resist civil liberties.

    Cortez and people posting here don't have a clue what DHS is or does.
    Got along fine? You really don't have a clue do you? The creation of DHS created very little new functionality -- rather it represented a REORGANIZATION. Existing functions that were previously with other Departments or independent agencies were moved to DHS. For example the INS under DOJ was split into CIS and ICE under DHS, the Secret Service was moved from Treasury to DHS, TSA was moved from DOT to DHS, Customs Service was moved from Treasury to DHS (as CBP) and so forth I believe FEMA was independent before being moved under DHS. The disease research center Plum Island was moved from Agriculture to DHS. There were some small increases in functionality, such as the DHS Science and Technology Directorate created to address terrorism threats. Again, this represents a reorganization. Having worked for DOJ, Treasury, and DHS, I can tell you that functions moved to DHS worked a lot better under DHS than they did under previous Departments.

    Thurmond saw what party was becoming very early and left the :democrat: because that criminal cabal abandoned States Rights (10th Amendment) for the centralized power of socialism.

    That's the "big switch" of the 1980s that materialized after a generation of abandonment by the :democrat:. The Reagan economy made an impression on millions of southerns that had moved on from racism and they became :gop:. The racists stayed right were they had always been. The klan's grand dragon endorse killary, and Charlottesville was a operation put together and run by demo-socialists spencer & kessler .

    America has far more former citizens of Afghanistan than KKK so what is the big deal who they vote for?

    https://www.newyorker.com/news/news...macist-told-me-after-donald-trump-was-elected

    There has to be many times more Antifa than KKK and yet we do not ever, and I MEAN EVER, see Democrats raising holy hell about the very troubled masked gangsters called Antifa.

    I believe that the Amish far outnumber the KKK.

    AOC isn't known for her brains. She's a fire-brand and not a bright one. The Democrats embraced her, ignoring that she is a snake.

    Ocasio-Cortez targets veteran New York Dems
    [​IMG]
    The New York Times reports that three long-serving New York Democratic House members are facing primary challenges from left-wing Democrats. The challengers hope to replicate the success of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who defeated party stalwart Joseph Crowley in a primary during the last cycle. The three targeted Dems are Jerrold Nadler, Eliot Engel, and Carolyn Maloney. Each has been in Congress for roughly 30 years. Nadler heads the Judiciary Committee; Engel the Foreign Affairs Committee.

    Do the these three veterans face serious challenges? The Times seems to think so. It reports:

    One of Mr. Nadler’s three challengers raised more than $250,000 last quarter. One of Mr. Engel’s was endorsed by Justice Democrats, the progressive group that recruited Ms. Ocasio-Cortez.​

    Even if Nadler, Engel, and Maloney all survive their challenges from the left, the challenges will not be without effect. As the Times puts it, “spooked incumbents have been shoring up their progressive credentials.”

    Earlier this week, for example, Nadler broke with Speaker Pelosi and voted against tabling a resolution to impeach President Trump. Nadler must believe he can ill-afford to be perceived as soft on impeachment.

    From the left’s point of view, a failed primary challenge to Nadler is more than worthwhile if it “spooks” the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee into supporting the impeachment of Trump.

    The crazy nuts are running the show in the House

    Zorro, I don't think the Dems are as concerned as you appear to be.

    I encourage all to read the desperation of the GOP in the posts above.

    Very telling.

    The Quad Squad is not much of a liability at all to the larger Dem picture, where as the Trump production is a major box office liability to the GOP.

    What are Trump’s odds of not being re-elected at... 99.99%? Some liability :)

    No kidding, Jest. Trump is hurting in the polls, and AOC and her girls are having a blast demagoguing Trump in their home districts, while Pelosi sits back in the Speaker's chair and cackles her witch's laugh.

    Trump is becoming one of those disasters you hate but can't take your eyes off of the action.

    Reality does not fit their narrative-so they assume reality is to blame.

    Is this the same Alexandria Occasional Cortex that is demanding extra security?

    I find it interesting that we cant judge an elected official on their official stances, but only on what's actually passed.

    It is. Hypocrisy does not seem to hold them back.
