Sometimes the campaign ads write themselves. Gather clips of top Democrats superciliously asserting that “in America, no one is above the law!” in the context of the failed impeachment coup. Follow with clips of top Democrats voicing support for issuing drivers licenses to people who are in the country in violation of the law:

Most people, including a substantial number of Democrats, don’t like this kind of blatant subversion of federal law. Going after your political opponents’ weaknesses (open borders) would seem to be a better strategy than going after their strengths (health care). I’m no political consultant, though, so what would I know?

    Unsafe White Boomer land yacht drivers concerned about Yung Latin Kangz in low riders.

    If you say so. In my experience it's more like this news story from out in Colorado, though.

    https://www.9news.com/article/news/investigations/colorado-hit-and-run-suspect-multiple-deportations/73-f3b20d45-1715-4f43-822a-eb2e07141bba


    DENVER — The Mexican national now formally charged with last week’s fatal hit-and-run at the intersection of West Colfax Avenue and Zenobia Street had been deported six times in the last two decades, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials.
     

    In addition, four days prior to the hit-and-run death of 51-year-old Annette Conquering Bear, 9Wants to Know has learned Gilpin County Sheriff’s deputies allowed a reportedly combative Juan Sanchez to leave the county’s jail just hours after Black Hawk police arrested Sanchez on suspicion of DUI while driving a friend’s SUV.

    "Latin Kangz Lowriders" are a miniscule percentage of illegal alien drivers and they are very easy to spot and avoid anyway. It's the ones in the Kocaine Kowboy Kang Kab trokas and shagged out Ford Taurus sedans you've got to watch out for.

    If you're killed in a hit and run, does it really matter if the driver is legal?

    The vast majority of car crash fatalities are caused by licensed drivers.

    Alcohol, speeding, driving too fast for conditions, aggressive driving, fatigue and drugs are the biggest causes of car crash fatalities. Alcohol and speeding each account for more than 30% of traffic fatalities. 66% of traffic fatalities are caused by aggressive driving. I'm sure there is some overlap in these statistics.

    Slow down, increase your following distance, make sure your brakes and tires are in great shape and stay well rested.

    Quick research says that “distracted driving” is the biggest cause.

    Here in California, I wish that people taking the driving-license knowledge test would study, and then take the test unassisted, without a consultant standing by your side, assisting, loudly, in a foreign language. You would learn things like yielding for an ambulance, and, at a RR crossing, the train gets the right of way.

    It seems like it's becoming the norm in Southern California for everyone to just stop, RIGHT WHERE THEY ARE, for an ambulance. I mostly get around by bike. When I see an ambulance or fire truck with their lights on, I usually get up on the sidewalk, and stop there, so I'm not in the way of cars pulling over. But then I look to the left, and see that no one is even trying to pull over. They just slam on the brakes, right in the middle of the lane. I've even seen them stop in the middle of intersections. They couldn't hold up the ambulance better if they tried. I don't know if it's licensing problems, or just basic stupidity.

    Probably the only times I've ever been mad at cops for NOT giving out tickets.

    In 2017 there were 10,874 people killed in alcohol-impaired- driving crashes.

    In 2017 there were 9,717 people killed in crashes attributable to speeding.

    Distracted driving was the reported cause of death for 3,166 people in 2017. I expect that as attention spans continue to decrease in the future, distracted driving will account for more crashes and fatalities.

    Loss of life

    Drunk driving claims 29 lives per day, more than 10,000 per year.
    Distracted driving claims 9 lives per day — approximately 3,500 per year.

    Distracted driving is a common cause of motor vehicle crash fatalities.

    Overall, 13 percent of drivers in fatal crashes had invalid licenses at the time of the crash.

    Being involved in a fatal crash while having an invalid license does not imply that either the invalidly licensed driver, or the fact that she or he had an invalid license, was the cause of a crash. Often the licensed driver causes the crash, while the unlicensed driver is merely the victim.

The caption goes,”Kill the babies. Abuse, and mutilate the kids. Open the border. Democrats 2020. We hate you. Death to America”

    The “we hate you” mindworm, simply accompanied by video showing them saying exactly that, would be brilliant.
