MODERATORS
How do you propose a party that doesn't control any branches of government pass legislation? And what do you think that would accomplish when the regime has already shown they're willing to ignore the law and courts whenever they want?
You want them to just sit in their offices and do the exact same thing they've been doing for the past decade? That's how we got here.
Yet 1 single Senator taking a trip down to El Salvador was enough to scare the Salvadoran government to let someone out of CECOT for the first time ever, even just temporarily to meet with Van Hollen. And you call this just a photo op? Just 1 guy taking a flight and hosting a press conference was enough to scare them into cracking. And you're saying he should have stayed home to write legislation that'd never even get a vote, let alone get passed into law?
You are a deeply unserious person.
See you’re really exposing your age here because you can’t remember a time when we did bipartisan legislation which makes you younger than 25 so maybe you can hold off on the insults for a bit until your ball is fully drop
I'm 39 years old, so try again.
