An what if the homeless don't want to be moved into these camps? Guess we should build a fence around it so we can monitor who goes in and out. We can then get a new department to help states secure these sites. Maybe we can call it State Support. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahem, I mean stop climate change. Here is a quote from the Onion circa 2018 "WASHINGTON—Muttering that he needed something more potent to get him flying again, Stephen Miller was desperately searching for his next fix Tuesday after the high of detained children began wearing off. “You get a taste for immigrant children suffering and then you’re always chasing the dragon—now I need at least half a dozen articles about kids being abused by their captors just to get to normal,” said the president’s senior advisor, absentmindedly scratching his arm and pacing back and forth as he sought out photos of crying Mexican mothers, lice-covered infants, or anything else that could provide him with a moment of much-needed release. “The hundreds of families still separated kept me going for a while there, and of course those reports of children being forever changed when they reconnected with their parents were some really good shit. But it’s just not enough anymore. I’m totally jonesing for something big, like an ICE detention center catching fire and burning everyone alive—something that can really get me off.” At press time, a blissed-out Miller had reportedly worked up a pretty good buzz looking at videos of tortured Libyan refugees who were barred from entering the United States under President Trump’s travel ban" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well that was my thought but I stand corrected. Furthermore he is viewed as a "Sexual matador" by the conservative right! "Stephen Miller, a senior adviser to Donald Trump during his presidency, has bizarrely offered some dating advice to young male conservatives looking for love, suggesting that wearing their proud support for Trump on their sleeves is the best way to “impress the ladies” this election season. Miller was a guest on Jesse Watters Primetime on Fox News on Tuesday when the host introduced him by declaring: “We just have to address the elephant in the room. We are getting a lot of texts from women about Miller and his appearances – and his appearance. “Our audience at Primetime believes you are some sort of sexual matador. What do you have to say for yourself?” Edited November 12, 2024 by Phil1111 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Generally speaking knocking posters doesn’t add to the conversation. I’m not talking about your specific post. The ones I find most annoying is scrolling down half a page of ‘he’s on my kill list’, he’s blocked so I can’t see what he posts’ etc. Unfortunately for some time now most right wing leaning posters have been trolls out for a reaction. While I strongly disagree with the views of some of the recent posters, they have refreshingly not been trolling. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
