FAFO. She was all about "bathroom bills" (how many trans in freaking IDAHO?) and working against her constituent's interests.

Holding a meeting about illegal immigrantion in a Mexican restaurant displayed the level of MAGA cruelness and tone deafness.

Buy them some Kleenex to cry into when they lose their home.

I always laugh at the relatively high frequency event of MAGA people in my life being absolutely shocked that their support of and belief in MAGA has consequences.

They seem genuinely flummoxed that those beliefs, and what they say about the person holding them, cause feelings of revulsion and disgust in those around them.

So the posters here are all for Capitalist Companies use of slave wage laborers if they push back against things the left supports. So you don't really care about the people, you just want to support bills that make the right made and possibly hypocritical.

The hypocrisy of both the left and the right in the story itself and the reaction to it is absolutely amazing. Both sides using Illegal Immigrants as pawns in a game of gotcha.

The left typically calls for raising minimum wage and providing more efficient, effective methods to gaining citizenship.

What is the right calling for? More prisons and the the end to birthright citizenship.

I was going to type "you can always pick out the public school idiots".

but that's just mean. It's not like the public school kids had a choice.

Did the homeschooled kids have a choice?

You might want to try not starting with a strawman before declaring equal hypocrisy on this one, sport.

Non binary slaves?

Collector's collection slaves.

Pretty sure you meant, "The Left loves they/them slaves."

And while they do go by "slaves", they also accept bottoms, submissive and cum rag.

Speaking of public schools ....

NYT's @NickKristof "A black kid in Mississippi is 2.5 times as likely to be proficient in math & reading by 4th grade as a black kid in Calif. Do we need to look a little bit less at what the Trump Admin is doing ... & look a little more in the mirror?"

Black kids are going to school in Mississippi?

Must be as clerical error.
