LOWER THAN LOW
Thursdays stunt was just the latest from Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis, who have shipped migrants north and flagged conservative media outlets before alerting arrival cities.

Florida and Texas plan to transport migrants to leftist cities culminated in a pair of cruel publicity stunts in a 12-hour span this week, after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered two busloads to be dropped off outside the official residence of Vice President Kamala Harris.
The buses that arrived in Washington, D.C. on Thursday morning carried about 100 migrants, Fox News reported, most of whom were nationals from Venezuela, Uruguay, Colombia and Mexico.
Video circulating online from the the scene showed the group of young men, women and children carrying backpacks, pillows and blankets as they chatted outside Harris residence with nowhere to go initially.
As word spread of their arrival, however, local immigrant organizations sprung into action. A representative from a charity called Sanctuary DMV came later in the morning and announced that the migrants could temporarily be sheltered at a local church.

I wish liberal billionaires would get together and finance our ability to show up somewhere, like maybe 30 million of us.

(9,714 posts)This evil is best met with empathy without politics. These are frightened human beings. Can we allow our country to be synonymous with monsters or can we mute their cruel message with our own showing of compassion? There's an election ahead. Let the American people decide whether they want to align with the angry mob or with the humane, merciful party of the people.

(6,833 posts)more and more ashamed of this nation and of so many humans.
Jan 6 opened the door of this shame I feel, and every day Conservatives strengthen that shame with their intolerance, their pride in ignorance, and their desire to make this dark, new Dixiecrat party the only law of the nation, only standard of the nation and its only goal.
