I'm just tired of other members of Congress thinking they can decide who represents all or part of Minnesota.

Trump can’t win by running against whoever the Democratic Party nominee is going to be. Instead, he and the GOP are going to run against Ilhan Omar.

And the media will make it possible by not pointing out what they are doing.

The Dem candidate will lay out their plan, and the media will criticize whoever that is for "having no plan other than attacking drumpf".

Alabama Lawmaker Proposes New Bill Requiring Residents to Pass Drug Test In Order to Get Food Stamps
By Tanasia Kenney - March 8, 2019

. . .

Under existing Alabama law, residents aren’t legally required to be tested for drugs in order to apply for or receive SNAP benefits. The newly proposed House Bill 3 would change that, however, in addition to requiring applicants to disclose ” … under penalty of perjury, [any] criminal conviction related to the use or distribution of a drug.”

Perhaps Alabama should consider seceding from the Union. 17th, 18th and 19th Century ideas seem to be their thing.

Don't worry, the next time we kick your racist ass states, we won't make the mistake of allowing you traitorous, hateful fucksticks back in the Union.

Next time sane people have to burn your fucking disgusting state down to the studs... we're salting the soil.
