This has nothing to do with immigration and everything to do with intimidation. Immigration is just the excuse here, the message is we can take anyone anywhere even your congressional office. Fall in line or we will come for you.
Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to my grandfather when he was still alive when I read shit like this.
Grandfather "Son, I just can't figure out why that starter isn't cranking."
Me "Well Pal, we need to check that starter wire but I can't get to it without dropping the starter off the flywheel first."
Grandfather "Hell, it ain't the wire."
10-minute argument Grandfather storms off
3 hours later
Grandfather "I've been thinking about that damn starter, we need to check that wire so why don't you climb up under there and pull that starter so we can check it."
Me "I pulled it 2 hours ago Pal. The wire is straight fucked. I am going to go up to Auto Zone and get a new one, Ol'boy up there says they have one."
Grandfather "We don't need a new wire we can just (insert WWII battlefield fix for bad starter wire on a Willys he's done 3 times already). I ain't made of damn money."
20-minute argument about fixing it right Grandfather storms off.
3 hours later
Grandfather "Grab your keys I need you to take me up to the Auto Zone to pick up a wire for that starter. Might as well fix it right so we don't have to keep fixing it."
Me "I already got it. Just finished putting it all back together and was just about to start it up."
Every single Democrat in office that isn't on a pulpit screaming in defiance of this batshit criminal administration and the absolute bag of dicks Republican party every single day needs to be primaried. The silence is deafening and they are all complicit. Shower of bastards is what they are.
If I've said it once, I've said it 5000000000000000 times: this Russian government has absolutely no intention of making peace until 100% of the former Soviet Bloc is Russia again. There will be no peace in Ukraine until it is Russian. There will be no peace in Eastern Europe until it is Russian. I have a sinking suspicion there will be no peace on the Asian continent until it is Russian.
We are in that section of the wheel where Empires are lusted after and built on the backs of the people. Good luck.
I am all for saving history no matter how good or bad it is or how uncomfortable it makes you.
That said this was just a place for rich fucks to get married in the bygone South. Fuck it let it burn, this monument to hate. I might feel different if it was used to teach people about how mankind can be so cruel as to profit off the blood and lives of others but it wasn't so good riddance.
"I hate what I am ignorant of, so I will cause pain and suffering instead of trying to learn and fix my ignorance. It's easier that way, and since I am such a huge sack of shit born with a silver spoon in my mouth and have been given many many chances to better myself I am going to close the door behind me. Fuck you, I got mine and that's all that matters." - Rat Fuck Kennedy
Gifts to the president are gifts to the country. The Republicans made that very clear when the Clintons left the white house and took all their gifts with them. In fact, Donny used it as part of his narrative of how corrupt Hillary is.
You can't fight 365 days a year. You can make time to look at cat pictures and create art and still fight the man. Hell, you can fight the man by looking at cat pictures and making art. Just be kind, empathetic, and, as the kids say, stand on business. You can protest, yell, flip cars, throw rocks, hand out flyers, donate to causes, volunteer, argue, debate, stuff envelopes, and so on and so forth...but if you don't have a balance you will just burn out. That doesn't help anyone because that is exactly what they are hoping will happen.
I guess what I am saying is go ahead and calm down and focus on art and good conversation. Take time to be a better person. Doing that fights them just as well as all the other stuff. They want you frazzled, strung out, and scared. Don't let the bastards have that, show up fresh rested, and defiant.
Hate breeds hate, I refuse to add any more. You don't have to hate to fix things. You are never doing the right thing by hating, and once you let it in, it just becomes easier and easier to hate.
