He never answered that he is sworn to uphold the constitution, keep deferring with other answers, blaming the democrats, referenced submitting a new bill, can’t hear (or pretending he can’t) to not answer, he’s too old, doesn’t care and shouldn’t be reelected!
Grassley is a good example as to why we need term limits and the big money out of politics. His career is catering to his donors and not his constituents.
You are still all playing by their rules. He’s after the courts and the universities, he will take the people out when they are gone. Learn from the French, general strike.
To everyone in that room standing up for due process, and what is the morally right thing to do, solidarity and love from California! We are with you. 🌴🌊💗✊
Probably a Soros plant and antifa, too! Couldn't possibly be concerned republican citizen, right? That seems to be their big talking point for anyone who shows concern for their fellow man who doesn't fit the regime's agenda.
Being raised in Iowa i have to at least say he had the co hones to show up and answer unlike some of those wussy's that either just don't have town halls at all or walk in make a speak and the moment the crowd ask a question that isn't Trump ass kissing rhetoric run out the back door.
I'm confused? Iowa is heavily Republican, voted for Trump twice. But they actually seem to care about the fate of an immigrant? Trump's appeal is largely hatred of immigrants, isn't it?
I don’t think they care about the immigrants, but for years they have been led to believe that the Supreme Court is with them, and when trump ignores the Supreme Court it’s creating an uncomfortable juxtaposition for them, hence them complaining he is ignoring a judges order
Iowa was a purple state relatively recently. It voted for Obama twice. I can't say why it shifted right, but I don't think people collectively decided they didn't care about their immigrant neighbors anymore. I hope to see more of them pushing back as they realize and accept that they were conned.
I would say that the anti-LGBTQIA message more so resonated with Iowans. I have a lot of family that look like the people in this video and they struggle with change/differences. Their racism does show in how they can infantilize POC, but none of them see their racism.
I watched the video, that old man could hardly stand up on his own two feet. I really do not see what the people of Iowa see in this man that can't hold 3 by 5 cards in his hands without dropping them. He is not their voice.
While I would never hope for chuck fucking grassley to save me from a gulag in el salvadore, I believe he can still raise his crypt keeper hand to the regime to say, "Enough!"
Those stuck views were probably there all along, but sometimes there's a moment of clarity, partway through life, that changed everything. But I agree with your essential premise, too much power is in the hands of people who have no concept of how much the world has changed since they were young.
This is so true. Im not am ageist either but when your brain power starts to degenerate, you gotta go out to pasture. Bernie Sanders is older than Trump, however the intelligence levels are miles apart. One is coherent, one has obviously had multiple strokes.
Some did and they are the ones we need to hear from. No one believed us or science or facts. It’s up to them to get us out now because obviously no one but the people have that power.
"They eat fear. That is why it is so important for us to remain focused. Chaos agents want you to spiral. Stay focused. Stay disciplined. Stay clear-eyed. The best way to fight back is by refusing to give them what they want."

Dude needs a better hearing aid.
Grassley represents Trump's interests, not his state's.
Grassley has rendered himself merely decoration, to help present the veneer of a republic.
Resist Patrimonialism.
Support and Defend Constitutional Order.

This town hall is in what looks like it's in a classroom.
Meanwhile, 36,000 are showing up for Bernie and AOC.
MAGA are doing all they can to keep people out of theirs.
Meanwhile, AOC and Bernie are making space for more and more of us.
Oh, wait. That was just cosplay.
He doesn't care. Never did.
Your calculus is now this; it's very simple
Move against the administration
The first ones to do so will be labeled 'courageous' and 'patriotic', while the last ones to do so will be primaried
You are in power, now
