>The top House Democrat, Hakeem Jeffries, echoed the progressives’ demands at a Monday press conference, saying: “Clearly, there are some commonsense measures that need to be put in place so that ICE can conduct itself in a manner that is at least consistent with every other law enforcement agency in the United States of America.” Common sense? I s2g... what the actual fuck is wrong with this guy? Even Joe Rogan can recognize Gestapo when he sees it. I can't get a read on if Jefferies is a robot, or a conservative operative, or if he's even sure what he really is. **Why do you refuse to just be a fucking human for one second instead of a politician?**

    The democratic party is a conservative (right-wing) party. On the spectrum of rightwing ideology, they believe that technocratic hierarchies are natural and good. In the tradition of Edmund Burke, they think that if the right PEOPLE are in charge, good things will follow; policy be damned.

    Jeffries' best quality is that the two easiest people to compare him to are Chuck Schumer and Mike Johnson and that, despite his best efforts, even he fails to limbo under those bars on a regular basis
