  • Congress is stacked against Democrats. There really isn’t anything they can legally do until they regain the Senate or the House

    Except praise ICE, I guess. It doesn’t really matter that Congress is stacked against the Democrats. They’ve shown everyone who they are and what they stand for and it’s not clear in the least that they would behave significantly differently if they were in power. From Biden building the wall to Kamala saying “Do not come”, and all of the messaging of the Ds since they lost and now 75 Ds voting to praise ICE…

    So the only evidence of torture they have is a statement by a US-based Chinese person that turned in his business partner and then claimed he did so because he was tortured. Wild.

    Meanwhile the US regularly puts people, including children, in solitary confinement, regularly kills prisoners, regularly oversees sexual assault by both staff and other inmates and has zero political interest in even speaking of it let alone solving it…

    And then of course there’s the US government literally championing their power to torture first by saying it’s not torture, then by saying they torture prisoners who fall into a magical third category, then by renditioning them to foreign countries (many in the EU) where they can torture prisoners without any oversight, then by protecting the people who get caught torturing people.

    But sure, go off on how it’s OK to have a standing extradition treaty with the US but a single extradition to China is just a step too far!

    You people and your boogeymen.
