  • If only. That comes out to nearly all Republicans and around a third of Democrats. I could totally see 30% of Democrats being in favor of mass deportations.


    First line of the article

    Most U.S. adults (9 in 10 Republicans and close to half of Democrats) say they support mass deportations of immigrants living in the country illegally

    You gotta remember that the “They’re taking our jobs” and “They’re getting our tax money” propaganda has been pervasive in America for decades. And they don’t, actively or passively, want to know about the realities of the lives of undocumented immigrants in the US. They don’t want to read the studies or know the data. Feelings don’t care about the facts.


  • Just you wait, they’ll follow a playbook that has been used for a long time. First they’re gonna say that the official death toll, around 46,000 identified people, is incorrect. ‘Many of them were Hamas’ or ‘Hamas is inflating the death count.’

    Once they realize the evidence overwhelmingly shows that the official death toll is an undercount, they’re going to say it’s not more than the official death toll, it can’t be more than the identified deaths. ‘It can’t be more than 46,000, there’s no evidence that it’s more than those already counted’ or ‘I won’t believe a higher number without a name and a body.’

    Then, once they can’t away from the higher estimate, they’ll switch to exclusively justifying it. ‘It doesn’t matter, they all deserved it for supporting Hamas.’





  • Lt. Caleb Stewart is an absolute piece of microwaved dog shit.

    He has issued the majority of the citations for unlawful camping in Louisville.

    Once in the police vehicle, Stewart narrated to *himself as his body camera recorded his comments. “So I don’t for a second believe that this woman is going into labor,” he said.

    In his police report, Stewart did not reference the pregnancy or her immediate departure in an ambulance. He simply wrote: “Ofc. observed listed subject camping underneath the interstate bridge at listed location by utilizing camping paraphernalia (mattress, blanket, pillow as bedding).

    In January, Stewart received a commendation from the department for responding to “issues related to the houseless population” with “compassion and professionalism toward everyone.” As the Courier Journal first reported, Stewart is facing a 20-day unpaid suspension for helping to cover up a subordinate’s use of force against a man likely experiencing homelessness last year — a suspension he is now appealing.

    In the body camera footage, as Stewart drove away from the scene, he narrates the encounter, justifying his choice to cite her to himself. He says that, if he had let her go without citing her, it would “set the precedent” that people could claim a medical emergency to get out of a ticket. “As much as, like the casual observer who, you know, believes everything that lady said, would think that it maybe wasn’t the most appropriate way to handle it, I’m very confident that was the appropriate way to handle it,” Stewart says, “with the exception of perhaps that maybe I yelled at her a little too quickly when she was in the street.”

    This man must just hate people without a house to live in. How the hell can he look at himself in the mirror? How can his family be okay with him screwing over people who are already down? Just wow… this is America.




  • Jesus Christ, so many people don’t know the real history of what happened while this is the real answer.

    To add on to Ronald “Fucking” Reagan defunding universities, he did it because as governor of California he absolutely hated the anti-Vietnam War protests happening on University of California campuses and thought a good way to limit attendance of ‘rabble rousing’ (re: poor) students was to take away their funding. Conservatives nationwide saw this and thought ‘that’s great, we should do that, too.’ and they did.

    Thanks Ronnie. You’re the unwanted microwaved dog shit that ruined America 40 years and your stink is still smelled in full force to this day. I didn’t believe in hell, but I hope they made a special one just for you.







  • The federal judge presiding over the church’s bankruptcy, Meredith Grabill, at one point ruled that the seal on case-related information was so sacrosanct that it could not be lifted even with respect to Hecker and his potential crimes. In reaching that decision, Grabill said she intended to “destroy any [sealed] information that this court received” while litigating the issue about whether Hecker deserved to benefit from the bankruptcy’s secrecy.

    What the actual hell is wrong with people?! Let’s not forget that the Southern Baptist Church released an incomplete list of its child abusing priests. Incomplete not because they didn’t know names, but because it wanted to protect them.

    And conservatives say LGBT+ people are groomers and abusers. Never let them forget who the real predators are, where are they more likely to stay hidden and be protected.
