I really couldn't watch this whole video, I stopped when she said the government wants to monitor bowel movements. 

She's getting attention for saying "peach tree dish".

Posting some clarifying information re voting, citizenship and immigration status.

Austin American Statesman  Dec. 7, 2020

Fact-check: Do states verify U.S. citizenship as a condition for voting?

 

U.S. Gov. Regs: 

Citizenship:

Have had a Permanent Resident (Green) Card for at least five years, or for at least three years if you’re filing as the spouse of a U.S. citizen.

Pathway to U.S. Citizenship outlines citizenship process.

Asylee benefits are time limited once asylum granted! Cash and medical assistance provided up to 8 months while language, job assistance, resume writing etc, available up to 5 years.

As a sometime pollworker, I can say with assurance that illegal immigrants are not able to vote.  Also, Hispanics are trending to become increasingly Republican so it's ignorant to imply that they are ardent Democrats.  Wonder if the Republicans will complain if and when Latinos become mostly Republican?

Under international law they are required to apply for asylum at the first country they come to.  

You can't come here and just throw out an uncorroborated sentence like that .  You've been asked twice to provide evidence for the above statement.  Who told you that?

It seems to be that the poster was referring to amnesty for undocumented workers and then allowing them to vote, which presumably they would vote Democrat.  Sounds like a far fetched plan to me.

It's true Biden tried amnesty early on but it stumbled.  

For the people you speak of the poster said " we have millions each year trying to claim some BS asylum her in the USA for freebies and other benefits they will never even come close to paying for if at all.  "

It's sadder that the population of her congressional district re-elected her to run again.  The Russians must have put a psychosis-inducing drug in the water supply, including hers.

She is pretty appalling. There are a lot of twists to her 'understanding'  and verbalizing/explaining things. Makes me shake my head and go "HUH???"  Can't understand how she was re-elected to run again.

I work with people new to our country (immigrants, refugees, Asylees) and they do not qualify for TANF or SNAP. In my state, only minors and expectant mothers get Medicaid. I recently worked with a family who had applied for asylum. Both parents worked farm jobs 6 days a week. They lived in a windowless shed with no heat. They had  a single wall outlet for cooking. There were rats everywhere. They gladly took COVID vaccines and their one “freebie” was a weekly box of food from the food bank.

...and she won with a high margin of the votes.   So it's not like she's a whack job without an audience.  She has an audience, they listen to her and they vote for her.  

Now she's saying that "They just want you to think that all of a sudden the entire population is steadily turning gay or turning trans,"...I'm not really sure who "they" are.   Further. "“Probably, in about four or five generations, no one will be straight anymore. Everyone will be either gay or trans or non-conforming.”

Where as there can be seen as more people coming are out due to the greater acceptance of the LGBTQ community and as well as some people who may do it for recognition, I highly doubt there will be more gay or trans then straight. 

What a silly thing to say.

To me it goes beyond "silly" and into stupidity. 

Gen Z and Millennials are rejecting traditional gender norms.   They also are redefining what it means to be queer and it isn't just same sex preference. This has been documented and talked about over the past few years.  For some reason this is threatening to her and she needs to fear monger.  It goes back to a theme I've talked about before that when the minority tries to rise up the majority pushes back.

Stormy Daniels prior lawyer really flamed out....

ABC News

Michael Avenatti sentenced to 4 years in prison
 

Quote

 

Michael Avenatti was sentenced Thursday to four years in prison for defrauding Stormy Daniels, the client who made him a fixture on cable and a speculative candidate for public office for a brief time during the Trump administration....

...Avenatti was convicted of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft for stealing from Daniels, his former client, about $300,000 she was supposed to receive in connection with a book contract.

"Avenatti stole from his client. He did so to support his own business and fund his own lifestyle. He did so despite presenting himself to the world as his client's champion and defender and despite using that feigned credibility to secure fame and pursue political influence. And he did so by exploiting his position of trust and authority as an attorney, by forging his client's signature, and by lying to his client and others repeatedly and callously for months," prosecutors said in a sentencing memorandum....
