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.

I called John James. His DC number I only get dead air, and his Michigan number I get a voicemail. I left a voicemail letting him know my intention to volunteer for the Benson campaign and tell as many people in Michigan as I can how he voted to take away their healthcare if he votes for this bill. I encourage others here to call his office. He's running for governor so he's the one rep we should be focusing on in Michigan. His DC number is (202) 225-4961 and Michigan number is (586) 498-7122.

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.

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.

Hmmm.

9 to 5, Spinal Tap, all Mel Brooks movies.

I will  have to think on this. I know the very last scene in Moonstruck when they’re all around the kitchen table totally cracked me up, but that just could be because I grew up in a very Italian family neighborhood, and so much about that scene was totally spot on..and hilarious.

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?"

Trump once has a spokesperson who called actual facts an "alternate reality." I think it was Kellyanne Conway? I'm not sure what skank factory he finds these people at.

It was Kellyanne Conway, and was alternative facts...

Alternate reality sounds like a lot more fun, though.

Jesus Christ. Are we going to make it through the next three and a half years?

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....

classic case of assuming it's "other" people abusing things and we need to stop that abuse, at all costs, then getting upset when it affects you because you wouldn't do such a thing.

She's the person who parks in no parking/stopping/standing spots in front of stores because "I'll only be a minute, it's just me here."

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

Jen Pasaki had a great 5 minute group of clips from Trump’s first term, and this one, where he ALWAYS cites “2 weeks” as a time line for questions where he’s on the spot to answer the question “when”.

He also uses that to deflect, knowing they’ll be other stories that will take the previous story’s place.

however, I can’t really think of a previous time where the threat of bombing another nation or nuclear incident was the story that he’s answering the question with “I’ll give you an answer in two weeks”.

He’s a bloody disaster. In so far over his head because now he has absolutely no competent cabinet members or advisors, nor would he listen to them if he did. He’s going to get your unfortunate sons (& daughters) killed.

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 not directing anything at you, I simply responded to you since you directed comments towards me.   

 

Question for you, is there a difference between an immigrant with legal status and one without?  Seems to me that you're not just defending people who are here legally but also those who have decided to ignore the rules and remain here illegally. 

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.

Rules are rules, no sense in getting upset now.  People should have thought of all this before voting for a stupid convicted felon, voting third party, or not voting at all.   Guess them protest votes were a bad idea after all, huh? 

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.

I said it was scummy but they're going to use every trick in the book to remove people from the county.  

...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.
