That man is a fucking grifter. Yall should listen to the Scam Goddess episode about him. 

So as someone who works with people with mental disabilities, behavioral issues, and emotional disorders, etc.

It’s so fucking disheartening to see someone both advocate for the expansion of desperately needed psychiatric care and be so callous about the people who need help. Yang’s right in that we badly need more available beds in psych hospitals. I know from personal experience what a nightmare it is to find out that…

Reminder that in most circumstances the mentally ill are more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators. Also Yang is kind of trash, js. 

What about personality disorders? I think Yang is a textbook case for at least a couple of them. 

Boston police and the police union also ignored/covered up for a cop/union president who had raped children. https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/ex-boston-police-union-pres-charged-with-raping-4-more-children/2183771/. Apparently those bad apples have spoiled the barrel.

Agreed. Biden gave her a poisoned chalice by making her the face of the immigration issue. She will be pummeled by the progressives in primaries for being hawkish. She will be pummeled by the Republicans for not being xenophobic enough. It’s a lose-lose situation for her. 

The Week, a left leaning publication written by actual journalists, had a short story that put Harris’s complete comments into a nuanced perspective which sounds more like frustrated honesty than cruelty. “Do not come” was not Harris’s “original comment,” as Solis claims here. It came well within her speech.

These kind or reporting articles always argue from a high horse cause they never have to deal with the repercussions of an actual outcome or decision themselves

There is NO right answer here. We’re still dealing with pandemic. Variants are out there. What the hell was she supposed to say? 

What was she supposed to tell them? Come on down! You’ll either be turned back or put in a detention center n Texas, which probably doesn’t have great climate control! Take a chance and send your children to maybe molested by border security!

It’s not cruel to tell people the truth.

Um. Have we forgotten we’re in the middle of a fucking global pandemic? What the hell was she supposed to say? “Hey everybody, storm the border! Yeah we can’t process people and our systems are about to collapse but hey, the US has done bad things in the past, so keep on comin!”

Honestly, what could she possibly have said here that would have been acceptable to anyone? If more people show up at the U.S. border, when we can’t even process the ones who are already there, then how does this lead to any sort of a positive outcome for anyone?

They’re pretty confident they have finally stacked the courts with enough Federalist Society scum and they’re going for broke, that much is plain to see.

Is anyone surprised this guy...

But it’s hard to feel bad for James Gunn or Ryan Coogler not getting to do the movies they want to do when they’re both clearly, incredibly invested in making these exact movies. 

Yeah... he wants to spend up to $150K on a vehicle but he’s worried about paying a bit of extra tax.  Fucking stupid. 

Jose is correct.
