Yapping about how like a dozen DSA people are a grave threat to the economy and “our system of government” while Donald fucking Trump is in office is just delusional nonsense.
not to come back to this again but i read the statement in full and once again, respectfully, DANG “We are not called to the legal minimum of hospitality. We are called to the radical welcome of the one who sought out the excluded and the overlooked.”

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.
