Our two Vichy Senate Democrats from Virginia, Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, each own a piece of the Wednesday announcement from Donald Trump about the opening of an immigrant concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay.
Warner voted last week for the “imperfect” (his word) Laken Riley Act – Trump used the ceremonial signing of the fake get-tough-on-immigration bill to announce the plans for his concentration camp.
Kaine voted later in the week to confirm the puppy-killing Trump sycophant Kristi Noem as the Secretary of Homeland Security, which will be responsible for running the concentration camp.
Great work, guys.
My job is to make you wear it.

- Mark Warner votes for Laken Riley Act: Must be gearing up for Senate re-election run
- Tim Kaine, quietly, voted to confirm Kristi Noem as Homeland Security secretary
“Most people don’t even know about it. We have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people. Some of them are so bad we don’t even trust the countries to hold them, because we don’t want them coming back,” Trump rambled after using his Sharpie to sign the Laken Riley Act into law.
That new law will allow Trump and Noem to go after DACAs and people under Temporary Protected Status political asylum protections, in addition to these supposed “worst criminal aliens threatening the American people,” and send them to Gitmo, which we’ve been using since the George W. Bush years to hold prisoners from the so-called war on terror.
The vote from Warner for the Laken Riley Act and the vote from Kaine to confirm Noem makes them complicit in getting this concentration camp up and running.
The alternative to their going-along-to-get-along approach: resistance.
Maybe next time.
