one of the primary forces bringing that false version of "conservatism" to the masses.

May he burn in hell for that.

She got moved to a time with more viewers than midday. They must be trying to push her, at least some.

but do NOT let me near the Governor of Florida (I would yell at him!) or the Senator from Tennessee (I would sic his neighbor on him!), or the former Speaker (I would tell the Pope on him!).

ATTN: FBI - I think ALL of those were rather benign threats - I'm not really meaning to hurt anybody - unlike THEM and what they want to do to other humans........

10. It is a good compilation of right wing xenophobia, other than that, nothing new at all.

Conservatives have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to run on except for fear of "other" and "the government is going to get you" even when it is they who use the government to spy on people and trample civil liberties and it is their economic policies that drive immigration both from the stand point of fucking up all of the countries south of us, and their "industry" supporters wanting to exploit cheap labor coming across the border.

Immigration is a complex issue but it needs to be addressed both, at the countries of origin, where we need to STOP destabilizing countries with our economic policies and stupid drug war, AND it needs to be addressed here by having a coherent strategy to punish employers who incentivize undocumented immigration for work, not simply punish desperate people who are looking for a better life.

My device is perfectly fine. Conservatives have been saying the same stupid shit since the Chinese Exclusion Act, since Operation Wetback, since Nativists wanted to kick all the Irish out of New York.

11. It is worth skipping through the Repub nonsense to hear the rest Keilar has to say.

These creeps are claiming there's a border patrol conspiracy to 'seed' areas of the country with infected kids.

But Keilar is good, really good, at refuting the nonsense. Toward the end Keilar is mainly discussing a recent WaPo article that completely debunks the lies about migrants bringing in COVID. Since many here can't get past the paywall, and because is the article is so comprehensive and well written, I posted a point by point synopsis in reply to Nevilledog's post here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215709592

FYI in case you're interested. The article deals with every aspect of the lies and shows just how silly they are.
