This guy is in a vulnerable district:

With a Cook Partisan Voting Index (CPVI) rating of EVEN, the district is the least Republican of the congressional districts in Nebraska.[Wikipedia]

Republicans don’t say things like this without permission from the Party. He gets to say this to protect his seat. He’ll likely still vote in lock-step with Republicans unless they get a bigger majority.

And that benefits who and how?

Do the rubes really hear “300 college kids deported” and think that does… anything?

The stupidity is astounding.

I’m afraid there are American oligarchs who do want it. They could end up owning everything. They don’t care how much people suffer if it consolidates wealth and power for a few.

“Donald Trump is on his revenge and retribution tour,” he said. “Well, I said I’ll be on one, too. I’m going to bring revenge just raining down on their heads with their neighbors getting healthcare. They’re gonna rue the day when we got re-elected because our kids with special needs are going to get the care that they need.”

Context matters even if the fascists will ignore it.

Past? Consider yourself lucky.
