Gov. Kathy Hochul on Thursday got a well-deserved scolding from congressmen outraged over her efforts to protect illegal-immigrant criminals from ICE agents — and her responses were beyond pathetic, because she has no good defense.

So 121k members and less than an 1/3rd bothered to vote. Another problem with DC. 121k licensed lawyers in a city of 680k. Highest # of lawyers per capita than any other city in the US, and no one else is even remotely close.

Same can be said for alcohol, nicotine, etc. Moderation is the key.

Why is it any of your business what people put into their own bodies? Why do you hate freedom so much?

Probably the same reason you hate people having guns and SUVs

Funny thing is I own an SUV and unlike MAQA yahoos support all the amendments to the US Constitution including the 2nd. But I’m a proud American and love freedom for all.

You don’t have to be MAQA to own an SUV.

MAQA selectively supports the US Constitution - they support the 2A but not due process, freedom of the press, freedom of speech, separation of church & state, etc.

These are bedrocks of freedom and the American system and I support them all.

Why doesn’t MAQA love freedom and America as much as I do?

Insecurity and failure to recognize the universal nature of change.

I drive a truck and a tractor and I own guns.
