Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

I grew up in New Orleans, and my family has been there for generations and is still there. I have personally experienced this! Twisters came and twisted and snapped off full grown trees at midsection right outside our front door during hurricane Betsy. We lost the most wonderful hard shell pecan tree, but at least it didn't land on our house. We also lost two more trees that way and Dad had to use a chainsaw to cut them so we could get out our front door. Hurricanes are truly a nasty piece of work. These poor souls will not survive them.

Seriously, guys. How long did they say it was going to take to build that mansion in the Everglades? I thought they said a couple months. Looks like the builders themselves might be swept away in a hurricane before they can fill it with ICE prisoners.
This country is so fucking S.I.C.K.

years ago, I did a short stay as a Correctional Officer (small town, minimal security, however...) one of the other officers in a candid moment said "the only difference between them and us is that they got caught"


what we are living now is a different version of that... I am sick, I am angry, I am disgusted, I am feeling very helpless knowing there is very little I can do to remedy this situation

This is a pattern that was followed in Nazi Germany. Demonize a target group that most people won't defend. Paint them as criminals who need to be treated roughly. Raise the restrictions on those people incrementally so that they and the general population get desensitized to the injustice. Then expand the target to other groups, including political dissidents.

He referred to Lauren Boebert as “Handey Oakley” and MTG as “Marge Three Toes”.

Apparently, Murkowski is hoping for redemption by hoping the House shoots down “The Big Beautiful Pile of Shit” (per Tiedrich).

It is sad that we have to use a primary school reference to describe this bill but I guess that is what happens when a bunch of morons elects one of their own to the WH.

clay pidgeons.


Ya gets you a couple'a Greyhounds. Put 'em in the cage and on the outside is the track with the rabbit. Kristie yells. "Pull."

The gate opens, the dog gets out and Kristie gets to shoot the dog. BUT HERE'S WHAT MAKE THIS MORE EXITING and why you get to charge more.

Ya gotta hit the dog before the gators, snakes and Pythons get's 'em first. Goobs will love it. The prison company can charge a couple'a per dog. 15% off the top to Trump sincere thought of it (actually, I just thought of it) And since the Greyhounds gets euthanized anyway when they get too slow... It's a win - win all the way around.

You're welcome.

They're arguing about whether successful migrants should go free, and the rights to the reality show.
