US Politics, June 2018: This is a total goat rodeo.

"I don't want to rip families apart. I don't want to be sending parents away from children. I don't want to see the deportation force that Donald has talked about in action in our country."

—Hillary Clinton, 3rd Presidential Debate, 10/19/16

oh fucking spare me this ignorant sanctimony

4real

apparently 1600 ICE employees got doxed today

bout to see some real interesting social media posts soon I think

She didn't want to send parents away from children she just wanted to be sure kids got shipped back to Honduras to risk death at the hands of the death squads she helped bring back to the country, foh xp

the archive.is link I posted earlier still works FYI xp

xp

Well, the good news is she lost, so we don't need to worry about that scenario. These people are safe and sound in US detention facilities, no doubt getting the best treatment possible, kind of like summer camp.

Moodles one of my closest friends was just held in a detention center for 3 months so don't fucking talk to me like I don't know what I'm talking about

and so the PR kicks in :

I'm from McAllen Texas. I grew up with shoeless undocumented kids with dirt floors. Don't you dare fucking smarm me over this. xp

Ok, I don't doubt your sincerity, but is it possible for once to resist the urge to let all the rubes on here know that Hillary was just as bad, if not worse?

no

I agree with President Donald Trump Moodles, relitigating Hillary Clinton's record seems like a real constructive project at this particular juncture, let's dig in.

"for once" mm you're right, this is absolutely my consistent posting style xp

i'm droppin it, i'm over it

Presidential debates are all ignorant sanctimony and no substance, no one here would disagree. I would be more interested in hearing about McAllen and your friend who got detained for 3 months.

Ok, fair is fair, I don't consider this your regular posting style, and I know you were away for a while. There have been a lot of threads over the past couple years that have devolved into some variation of this argument, and it's really enough.

xp

let me devolve for you, M

Immigrant rights groups must take full advantage of liberals' raucous disgust with Trump's deportations before the next Dem president is elected and liberals go back to sleep.

hoos is actually one of the few itt that actually gets out there and does activist shit (unlike myself)

Morbs, if this keeps people focused and sparks further change, I think that's great. I've already stated that I'm worried that yesterday's EO is going to lead to diminished attention.

If someday, Democrats find themselves back in power, then by all means, hold their feet to the fire. I just don't see any real benefit to the endless rub-ins for depressed Clinton supporters at this particular point in time.

ums, that's absolutely true

When I get aggro, I call my mother to yell at her about the whole family voting Trump. Yesterday was a bad day so of course I called her. She brought up Hillary. I was like "HOW DARE YOU"! My poor immigrant mother. I should send her a new purse.

Make a donation in her name tbh

When I was considering trolling my family on our last holiday together immediately after the election I almost made a donation to BLM in my dad's name. But thought he might have a stroke.

would have been a stroke of genius imo

make up a certificate that names her a lieutenant in good standing in the antifa supersoldier army, get it framed and have it delivered to her house imo

very psyched to have a piece in that issue of TIME

(it's about the beyoncé and jay-z album)

nice!

xpost My mom would not appreciate any of that. Despite being in the US for over 45 years it's like she is fresh off the boat. She only watches asian TV now that Donohue and soap operas are off the air.

xpost NICE!

congrats maura!!

excellent maura.
get several copies, frame them and given them as xmas presents.

I know optics mean zero to this administration but how are they so bad at it

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5871221/Melania-Trump-wears-jacket-REALLY-DONT-CARE-U-visit-immigrant-children.html

"Let them eat cake."

What the actual complete and total fuck right there.

classic Antoinetteism

xxp haha

Also, congrats, maura!

But seriously rn.

Great piece, Maura. http://time.com/5316426/everything-is-love-beyonce-jay-z/

Does Melania not know how to read and her stylist is trolling her???

god part of me is thinking she did that intentionally to sabotage her shitty husband, i mean i have no idea what the actual hell kind of other reason she would wear that.

maybe she doesn't read her clothes the way some ppl don't know lyrics

truly Melania peaked when we all thought she was dead.

the original Melania is dead

killed by a cyber-bully no doubt

maybe she doesn't read her clothes the way some ppl don't know lyrics
