I only just noticed the line "Welcome to CECOT. Whoever enters here doesn't leave." The first prisoners at Auschwitz were told the only way out is through the chimney. Seems oddly similar.

Yes, HRC was 100% correct about there being a basket of deplorables.

You appear to have the same relationship with him that I do with whatever poor souls answer the feedback emails for the MBTA... I occasionally get a response but it's obviously a canned one that either doesn't answer my question or tells me that the train that never came actually did... such is life.

I also think Zyklon B could make a comeback. I really hope I'm wrong. I doubt they'd think I'm able to work either.

Something tells me that forced labor would be involved.

Some of the responses to this are pure gold..... like eau de toilet...

Shouldn't the 'best businessman' and POTUS know who the CEOs of the biggest companies are? I admit I had to google it, but then again I'm neither in business nor politics.

For me, it was Trammell's second home run in game 4 of the '84 World Series. I ended up falling out of my chair, with the chair on top of me.

Arsenic and Old Lace Best in Show Life With Father Big (honorable mentions: Clueless, Uncle Buck, The Parent Trap (both versions), Office Space, Clerks)

I remember watching Moonstruck with my SIL, whose mother hailed from Brooklyn. After that scene, she said "Who are these people and how did they get that footage of my family?"

It was Kellyanne Conway, and was alternative facts... Alternate reality sounds like a lot more fun, though.

May the Flying Spaghetti Monster forgive me, because I'm very much hoping that HE doesn't make it much longer.

I believe she's pregnant again-the ectopic pregnancy was terminated. She claims it wasn't abortion, even though it clearly was. Blaming 'the left' rather than lobbying the FL legislature to change the wording of the law for her situation is infuriating yet oh so typical....

I think that's the feeling behind a lot of people's political beliefs, in a nutshell.

Who's this Donakd guy?

So he's basically the renovator from the movie The Money Pit? That seems oddly appropriate.....

Next we'll be back to working 12 hour days, 6 days a week.

The only interesting thing about having them successfully start the 'end of times' would be to see their reactions when actual Christians are taken to paradise while they're left behind with the rest of us 'heathens.'

So Drumpf is our von Hindenburg.

I'm suddenly getting a picture of Frank Burns thinking that a kimchi pot is a bomb.

To me, it's not black and white. As at least one poster said (Motown Bombers, maybe?) it's not as easy to come here as it used to be. There are people who came here quickly because they were in a dire situation in their home countries. There are people who were brought here as young children who have no memory of their home countries. Or, they've put down roots and no longer have a life anywhere but here. Many of them are pillars of their communities and we're better off with them than without them. So perhaps the only real difference is that the ones with legal status were fortunate enough to be able to obtain permission to stay. In many cases-yes, I'm defending them. Though TBH Oblong said it better than I can in a post from earlier today.

While I'm not going to shed a tear if this ruins her career...the cynical part of me thinks that many of her colleagues and even many of her supporters agree with her but are smart enough to not say it out loud.

Same.

Not sure why you're directing this at me, but since you are I, and all of the other people I know IRL, voted for Harris. And in any case, those opposed to his policies still have the right to object to them and protest, just as those in the minority party still have the right to try to convince members of the majority party to vote differently. At least they used to. Come to think of it, even those who voted for him have the right to protest about policies they disagree with. Again, at least they used to. First they came for the immigrants.... I think we all know how this poem ends.

...which is why people are protesting. It isn't just people 'from the left' either. And if you yourself say that it is scummy, then I'm surprised that you still seem to support it.
