    This should surprise NO ONE. The SAME group of people who DID NOT TRUST OUR INTELL SERVICES ENOUGH TO DO THE FORENSICS on their ALLEGEDLY "HACKED" SERVER, now got caught running away from THEIR OWN BILL.

    Rather than BEING EXPOSED to their own voters, after presenting this ONEROUS BILL, calling for the abolition of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, they are BAILING like rats from a sinking ship, as the prospect of ABOLOSHING ICE, is as UNPOPULAR with the VOTERS, as is every other DNC "ILLEGALS over AMERICANS" plan.

    And then , they have the unmitigated audacity to call the CALL FOR A VOTE on THIER OWN BILL, a "political stunt", instead of the OBVIOUS political stunt that CREATING and ANNOUNCING IT WAS:

    Dems who drafted bill to abolish ICE now say they'll vote against it


    Democrats who drafted a bill to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE] suddenly announced Thursday night that they would vote against it if the legislation went to the floor, after House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Fox News he intended to call their bluff.



    "We know Speaker [Paul] Ryan is not serious about passing our 'Establishing a Humane Immigration Enforcement System Act,' so members of Congress, advocacy groups, and impacted communities will not engage in this political stunt," Reps. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin, Pramila Jayapal of Washington and Adriano Espaillat of New York told The Hill and other news outlets. "If Speaker Ryan puts our bill on the floor, we plan to vote no and will instead use the opportunity to force an urgently needed and long-overdue conversation on the House floor."
    One of the first senators to push for eradicating ICE was Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., who said last month that ICE “has become a deportation force” which should be abolished.


    New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio echoed Gillibrand, calling the agency “broken” and “divisive.”

    “It should be abolished,” he tweeted.

    As analysts point out, if Democrats vote against the proposal and kill it, it undermines their word. If they earn enough "yes" votes, Republicans could turn the issue and tie all Democrats to the crisis at the border.

    Grok, I love ya, but I’m not going to believe these story until I see it on the Morning Joe because I know he and Mika won’t hold anything back.

    Libs, they’ll say anything for a vote.

    Serious question for anyone that considers themselves a supporter of either party, why do both wings of the spectrum do this? They promote ideas they don’t actually support or enact legislation that is unconstitutional and will ultimately be shot down in the courts at significant taxpayer funds.
    Is it just about votes and the base is to stupid to see the charade?

    What you call moderate the rest of the universe calls being hypocritically two faced.

    Only the ones who said they supported this have to worry. Everyone else now to point to their lack of support for this.

    Good, it’s a stupid idea anyway. They should be worried more about re-election than this silly idea.

    So what? Getting the clowns to all stand up and identify themselves is always helpful.

    for perspective I often think back to their weeks worth of hysterics when Joe Wilson had the audacity to yell "you lie" at their (lying) Messiah.....

    when Rush Limbaugh said he hoped Obama failed (which they took out of context, of course). oh my goodness...off their rockers!

    Who cares if you read it?

    Abolishing ICE Would Free 1.4 Criminal Illegal Aliens - Triple the Population of Miami

    Democrats ar open borders nutwing extremists who don't mind turning rapists and murderers loose in American Cities, especially in minority neighborhoods. If it takes a few raped Latinas to build the prog Utopia, they figure, it's well worth it!
