Seriously - you are the only one obsessed with Brown.

They openly dated after he had been amicably separated since 1982.

What IS the big secret here?

Kamala Harris does not want to abolish ICE (rather she wants overhaul of the agency.)
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article...is-abolish-ice

Claims of democrats wanting to abolish ICE are "Fake News."
https://www.politifact.com/punditfac...-ice-if-they-/
Exactly. If other countries can afford Medicare for all why not in the biggest economy in the world. It should be studied and see if it can be replicated here but we all know that there are two many mouths on the Health Care business that will pay off both sides to keep as is.
Regarding ICE there are enough examples out there that they have overstepped their role so I am all for looking over the role and curtailing some of their activities.

The New Democratic Socialistic Party might be better off selling this in Cuba
Or Venezuela. They seem to be such big fans of socialism...

No, but all it has to do is play for the idiots that make up the Democratic primary voting base.

Which states don’t?

I know her authenticity because I saw her during the Kavanaugh hearings. She is just another lying Democrat. Not too rare these days.

The dollar amount for medicare for all is from a right-wing source and it would actually save money compare to what we are paying now.
I am willing to bet you believed all the left wing sources when they said how much Trump's tax cuts would cost.

It doesn't cost less. Only a fool would believe that. If you mean by 'costs less' you take all the money from private insurance companies as a supplement to pay for it, maybe. You are delusional.
