Biden has promised that his administration will reverse his predecessor’s draconian and inhumane immigration policies, but the reopening of the Carrizo tent city is a reminder that pressure will continue to need to be applied to ensure that immigrants are treated humanely and with dignity.

It was. Now though, there’s been a proliferation of performative bullshit, knee-jerk reactions to even valid criticisms, and general asshattery in the comments sections.

Unpopular but I respect you being the first person to reply in my thread in a civil manner.

That said, I don’t think you’re entirely wrong. While I wouldn’t say most, I’m sure there are a number of people we likely agree on removing pretty much immediately lol

Uh... objectively terrible??? I mean yes, but still... what decade hasn’t been objectively terrible?

Soooooooo sorry. I did not realize I had to address literally every single aspect of the article in my comment. For some crazy reason, I thought picking out the quoted section I DID want to make a comment on was completely within reason.

As for the word “disingenuous,” how exactly am I pretending to know less about…

“Treat each other as human beings, have some modicum of respect.”

Out of curiosity, what part of my comment was about Manchin?

Democrats do a subpar job of governing. Republicans just do such a shit job generally speaking that anything else done by comparison looks amazing.

Did you? I pulled that quote directly from the article and Solis has a point. Everytime Republicans have control, they pull us further to the tyrannical, fascist right. Everytime Dems get control? They stagnate. We don’t continue rightward, but very few progressive ideas tend to get pushed forward for the sake of…

In a larger sense, this problem is about Democrats’ seeming inability to govern, even when they finally hold the majority.

Please tell me you fought those charges. That really sucks, I’m so sorry. 

No shit. The times when I have been (wrongfully) pulled out, I was called every racist slur in the book as if they couldn’t figure out what exactly I am. Got called an oil prince and sand nigger while driving a shitty Taurus when I was a poor college kid. A cop overtook a dude in a speeding escalade on the backroads…

Considering I’ve been rear-ended in the past by someone using this feature, I fully understand how it’s supposed to work. They bitched about how it wasn’t their fault because their car was supposed to stop when I did. For some reason, the cop didn’t buy that as a good enough excuse.... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, wonder why.

This morning on my way into work, I passed a cop while driving the backroads. Windows, down, my face fully in view. Next thing I know, he’s rushing to turn onto my street (even though he was in the lane to go straight) and overtakes a another car so he can get directly behind me. He followed me a good 15 minutes…

“almost irrational”

Just sounds pretty irrational to me. Most cars I’ve been in tend to give you a warning beep if it thinks you’re leaving your key fob in the car. And where would you put the keys in the first place besides a pocket or a purse/backpack/ tote/ whatever else?

I really don’t get the dislike. I’d never…

Just a thought but... maybe don’t try using adaptive cruise control when you’re in stop and go traffic???

Have that in my 2017 Cruze and can’t stand it because back then, the only way to turn it off was by going into “manual” mode. Just glad they didn’t do that nonsense in the Camaro as well.

Not mistaken at all, except that Dems don’t have the guts to do something like that. Remember, Biden is still peddling that bullshit about working across party lines even though those Repugnican pigs did whatever the fuck they wanted when they had the majority.

The right takes every chance they get to screw with…

I think if I was stuck listening to him in the car, I would have just driven off the road and ended it all.

That sounds like fucking torture. My blood pressure couldn’t take it lol

Except this is not about the United States right now. This is about Japan. That glasshouses bit only applies if I was making the claim the United States is somehow better in that regard, which I’m not because... no shit... it isn’t.

You’re putting words in my mouth. Don’t do that.
