@wildgrass saidFOX. Wildgrass. FOX.
What is up with this trend of trusting anonymous rumors instead of reality?
Sadly you become more like jester

@kevcvs57 saidSo they did exactly what DeSantis did and sent them someplace else.
What exactly did you think they’d do? just let fascist scumbags like abbot and DeSantis dictate to them how many migrants they can accommodate and for how long. These migrants are not trump fans they will want jobs and long term accommodation not a free ride forever Glamping holiday at Martha’s Vineyard.
I guess it wasn’t instant gratification sending them to the big cities, you people really suck.
@kevcvs57 saidThe small island (15k people) swells to 200k in the summer. 50 migrants have dropped in.
Yeah I guess you can always find a few nimby’s where ever you go and common sense would tell most people that a small island community is less suited to a large influx of migrants / refugees than a big city or dare I say it, the large empty expanses of the south west.
But hey let’s not bother talking about common sense in a thread about far right republican governors and their supporters, it’s all about their hurt feelings.
TX with 28M has collected over 2 M extra people who don't even know where they are. Compare the percentages.
Let's all run to Texas with water bottles.

@mott-the-hoople saidSince it's a vineyard, they could also benefit by having some extra grape pickers on hand, not to mention maids, gardeners, busboys, etc.
oh no, marthas vinyard has to have groundskeepers...they just cant stay there, they are welcome to come work, just gtf out after the work
@averagejoe1 saidHey, they did the best they could for 24 hours before shipping them off TF to someplace else, far away from them.

But they sure got a lot of credit and saying hello to them, like they were Mohandas Gandi or something.
Biden should give them all the Presential Medal of Freedom, or whatever.
Then claim they were all Medal of Honor recipients, (like Obama did when he talked about Chief Brave Feather-He-who- makes up stories)

@averagejoe1 saidYes but apparently a conservative cannot become a decent human being. Not that they would choose that option anyway.
Wildgrass. I have been meaning to ask , can a man become a woman
@mott-the-hoople saidThat is a different question than the one you posed.
ummm yes it was

I'm not a doctor mate. And this is an immigration thread.”
Can a man become a woman?
What sex are people?
You asked the second question. This is a simple assignment done in utero or at birth using anatomical definitions. Doesn't require a doctor. Whether changing someone's anatomy or appearance changes their gender is not my expertise.
@wildgrass saidyou libs are some messed up people

and…I didnt ask a question
@averagejoe1 saidReagan drastically increased federal spending compared to liberal jimmy Carter. You call that conservative?
Reagan was a conservative . Not decent you say, or are you now going to begin parsing, implying that 'we know what you mean'.
We don't.
@wildgrass saidJesus. Can you just stay on the issue you created.? And you say Reagan was not a conservative? What was he WGrass.? Was Wm F Buckley decent? Hey, I already cleaned a Sonhouse post up with really good link. Don’t make me chase one down for you.

You said above that a conservative cannot be decent, in so many words, I am not looking at it, I am on a tablet.
I query your thus insinuating that Reagan, as an example, was not decent. Hard stuff, I know. That’s why I am here, to bring you along.

@averagejoe1 saidRaygun wasn’t a decent human being.

We don't.
He was a neo-con, Ayn Rand lovinf piece of 💩, crappy b-actor, racist thug.
He did have a sense of humor. His one redeeming feature.
But Raygun, together with Thatcher, orchestrated a lot of what’s wrong with the planet; and the US in particular, today.
@averagejoe1 saidVery much not. He and Maggie Milk Snatcher together started the world's descent into hard-line corporatism. The man who foisted the trickle-down fraud cannot possibly be called "decent".
Reagan was a conservative . Not decent you say,
