You’re entitled to your opinion, of course, but the past is the past—I see no indication in the last decade that the current majority has any interest in working with the current minority. Times have changed and I think it will be a long time before we recover from what has been happening in government since the…

I disagree. We have got a lot done in the past by reaching across the aisle. The problem is that the aisle has become a chasm. There’s Mike Pence, Reid, and Bernie, and none of those people deserve to be the standard bearers of the majority of people that are fucking done with winner takes all politics.

I took it to mean he challenged her to a duel instead of a physical fight because she could kick his ass in a physical fight.

This is one of those times I want to hear the classic non-apology, “I’m sorry if you were offended. I should have used my words better.”

My fever dream is that Collins can convince two other of her Senate colleagues (Murkowski? Graham? Sasse?) to become independents and caucus with the Democrats for the sole purpose to restoring some balance of power and giving one chamber of congress the power to investigate the executive branch again. But of course,…

Me too! But I doubt it will happen. We’ll get the, “I’m sorry if I offended anyone, blah, blah, blah” apology. Not that it will help, because the conservative media is never going to let it go.

Susan, Susan, Susan.....face it—-these are not your people. If you can’t face being a Democrat, team up with Angus and Bernie and be an Independent.

I would love it if she were like “Fuck yeah, I said it! I should have said it a long time ago. This has gone way way WAY too fucking far! IMPEACH.”

I look forward to the tepid non-apology apology from Collins and the conservative media burning her in effigy.

It is still pretty patronising. I’d be insulted if I was a young Harry Styles fan and got one of those dms.

You’re not welcome here either, yet here you are.

Surely you can see that finding “shitty human trafficing (sic)” to be abhorrent does not automatically lead to “everyone is welcome to move to and live here” or that “immigration enforcement is pointless.” I realize from your comment as well as others that nuance is lost on you, but it is possible to have…

do you know you are a colossal asshole?

Except the reasoning is a bit backwards in that immigration has always been a net positive while I think we can all agree that slavery is a net negative.

I welcome them. Thank God for them, or else I wouldn’t be here telling you to fuck off.

I dunno, the economy of Houston would effectively collapse (at least in the short term) were it not for illegal immigration, so they kinda are welcome here.

Oh there always are, I bet even in the NYTimes comments which are mostly reasonable 70% of the time there will be people who blame the victims. It is usually very hard to find a group of people who really understand immigration even among so called liberals.

Yep. There are no good stories coming out of this. This happens about once every summer (though it’s rare that this many people are effected or die), and it’s tragic all around. I know a lot of people are going to jump to conclusions about how our current situation led to this but deaths from smuggling is not new and…

God there will be so many trolls in this post. Please if you are black respect the deaths of 10 people and dismis and do not engange. As a Mexican-American whose family crossed the border I beg of you. DO NOT ENGAGE!

My wife and I went a little obsessive over this about a year or two ago. There are various grocery store options in our area:
