I’m sure that investigation will be wrapping up any day now. Say, how is the Moore County NC power grid sabotage investigation coming along? I thought so.

Yeah, my wording was a little rough. How's this? We should offer safe harbor to people fleeing governments we are actively confronting with sanctions or worse.

I will never get over how stupid and poorly thought out this was, just in the absolute.Just because people go on VACATION in a place does not mean EVERYONE who lives there is on vacation all the time.

People who live down the shore all year round do not, in fact, get to be on vacation all year round. They work at stores, or offices, or pet groomers, or Bagels By the Sea. I figured that out when I was like EIGHT.

Posted when this happened, by a family member who lives in Cape Cod (not the Vineyard, but close enough to be an informed source):

"while some folks, black AND white, are rich and have some private homes on the island, the year-round population, also diverse, including a large native American population, are working class, with a lower per capita income than residents of Boston—approx $43k. They occupy very modest homes and the overall population is small and spread out over a rural area. They depend on summertime day trippers for a large part of their year-round essential services. It’s not a “wealthy playground.”

But, the tight knit community does have the compassion to volunteer to help those who landed there with nothing -- setting up beds in a church hall, providing food, donating clothing, medical & legal help, and high school kids are serving as Spanish translators.

Many need to be ferried to the mainland for their immigration appointments that were lined up in various US cities BEFORE they were rounded up and shipped to MV where none had prior contacts or awareness*and where there is no immigration office*.The commonwealth is making arrangements for housing on a military base at Cape Cod… DeSantis is one depraved man but, we know -- cruelty is the whole point."

"Meanwhile, there is a criminal investigation into DeSantis's actions, because in addition to being a moral abomination, his use of desperate migrants as props to boost his quest to get stomped on like horse shit in a barn by Donald Trump might also have been illegal."

I can Google the specific statues if anybody is interested, but this particular stunt is definitely "kidnapping by deception" and possibly human trafficking.

Mathematical symmetry aside, it's a constant source of annoyance to me how 90% of Italians in political office are the bottom 10% of humanity.

Flopsweat Ron is the worst, most scumbaggy GOP politician I think I've ever seen, imo worse than Trump and GWB combined, and the people he is surrounding himself with are just awful. That the Rufo is front and center at virtually all of Ron's dumb, dishonest pressers is mind boggling to me.

I think the FL GOP is working on a bill that would forcibly remove kids from their parents, if the parents are under suspicion of signing off on "gender affirming care" for said kids. Let's say something incredibly messed up like that passes..."Critics are saying" it wouldn't make it through any court challenge, but I have little faith on "our institutions" saving kids from getting kidnapped and mentally abused by the state of FL, not to mention the harm to their parents.

Same people that think school genital inspections and other arbitrary invasions of privacy for schoolkids is a-ok.

Between this FL culture wars crap and TX looking to give "up to 100% rebate on property tax" if one's HH has 10 kids, it's obvious that the health and well being of both child and parent are of no concern at all to today's eff'd up GOP!

“They had never seen Top Gun, so we watched the first two movies” implies that there will be a third Top Gun. It will be made when Tom Cruise is in his eighties, I guess?

Not the liberal hang wringing DeSantis or Abbott hoped for. I guess that’s the difference between conservatives and liberals
