1. They are monsters

who don't see anyone except their small group of white wing rich men as human.

[halfulglas]

2. WTF Cornyn - Overstayed visa?

The man bludgeoned an 82-year-old man and tried to kidnap and assassinate the speaker. What does this have to do with a visa? He's going to jail for a long time for serious crimes. Trying to turn it into an immigration issue is nuts.

[TigressDem]

21. Prosecute him and THEN deport him was the point. But the guy is from Canada.

More of US wanting to go there than visa versa.

[halfulglas]

24. Wait a minute. The guy isn't even a citizen, can't even vote?

And he's ensnared in these MAGAt and Q crap to assassinate the Pelosis? He's Canadian and his lord and savior is Trump. I thought Canadians had more sense.

[TigressDem]

25. Well, like a "contact high" at a heavy metal concert ... Canada is close enough to get a whiff

Canadians are as varied as we are, but there government has been more functional and is resisting the REICH WING better than we are.

BUT the crap that the Q and MAGAs are pushing is like pot laced with mind control drugs. My son is under their influence.

He thinks he's just getting information that is being hidden, that someone is telling the truth about bad things happening and that he needs to DO something about it. He's still my son, so he's just going to vote against DEMs, but I could lose him completely some day.

So like someone who thinks they are not all that high, but doesn't know what was laced into the pot is causing hallucinations, they suck up the fear and anger and their new level of high is that IT'S SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT THAT MY LIFE SUCKS.

When you "turn" a person on other people as the REASON their own life isn't better, that person can't see their own part in solving their own problems. The want to get rid of the THINGS that are making them feel pain and despair --- even if those THINGS ARE OTHER PEOPLE.

23. I think Cornyn is fishing and waiting for someone to say something stupid.

8. I wish someone on twitter would copy this to his tweet.

[Paladin]

4. Cornyn is a gutless, brainless piece of shit.

Always has been, always will be. The only way Cornyn looks halfway decent is in comparison to the other Texas senator, Ted Cruz.

[Disaffected]

5. I'll remember him as

one of the dopy, faux-serious looking characters that always seems to stand behind Mitch Mc when the turt has something to say.

[Walleye]

6. Sounds like it was written by Stephen Miller

[txwhitedove]

7. I'm ashamed TX has such an asshole rep. He's really stretching to make this a bad

immigrant issue.

[soldierant]

22. I expect Cruz is wishing he'd thought of it first.

[LudwigPastorius]

9. Will John Cornyn seek to fund the construction of a border wall between the U.S. and Canada?

He's trying to score political points off of the suffering of the Pelosi family, while trying to deflect from the fact that this attacker was the new GOP's base - a violent Q-Anon conspiracy nut.

Cornhole is an opportunist, shit-eating prick.

[TigressDem]

26. Canada WILL Build THAT wall. Keep US out? Only IF WE INSIST, but YAH, sure? nt

[Mr. Ected]

10. It is becoming increasingly difficult to remain civil when the opposition prides itself in snark

The inclination is to fight back with equal disregard to whatever is humane.

We cannot become them. We cannot fight fire with fire. We have to be true to who we are and stave these animals off.

It looks like evolution never quite manifested itself with these cretins.

[vlyons]

11. Cornyn knows better. He has law degrees out the ying yang

and once served as Asso Justice of the Texas Supreme court and as Tex AG. But he is a complete corporatist. For me, he symbolizes the corruption of dark money.

[patphil]

12. Scroll down a bit and hear Barak Obama lay into Rick Scott, and Ron Johnson

Swalwell and Obama are two of the best we have.

[niyad]

13. May all involved receive everything they deserve.

[johnnyfins]

14. Cornyn?

This motherfucker toasted Justice Beer Boof, on Twitter, when he was confirmed. A-S-S-H-O-L-E

[W_HAMILTON]

15. And what a stupid fucking question to begin with.

Why the fuck would we deport someone that has committed such a serious crime as this? That's letting them off. Fuck that. We should seek justice. I guess Cornyn is so deep in his politically twisted mind that he didn't even think of this. Fucking imbecile.

[Grins]

16. When 1st and 2nd graders are massacred...

…John Cornyn and his Party immediately scream, “This is not a time to be political.”

Which is what he did right here.

[Ford_Prefect]

17. The crass opportunism is one thing I really despise in Cornyn and his foul fellow travelers.

That they are so smug in expressing heinous disregard for anyone whose boot they do not personally lick is equally foul.

[flying_wahini]

18. Swalwell will be a great President some day.

Cornyn used to be a nice asshole.

[republianmushroom]

19. LIKE IT

[TigressDem]

20. Oh YAH. Deport him to Canada. We know what dos people are like.

[Baitball Blogger]

27. Not to mention that undocumented immigrants are the least likely

supporters of Republican causes, thus would not have been radicalized by the anti-Pelosi sect in this country.

[Samrob]

28. And do mention that most who overstayed their visa's came here by air from across the ocean. nt

[Baitball Blogger]

29. Right?

You know this nonsense would all stop once they put a bright light on the number of undocumented immigrants that we have here from the European countries. Would certainly make my maga Irish-American relative stop and think.

30. "If rape is inevitable, you might as well relax and enjoy it"

They STILL mean it.
