Best reply I saw was that Katie Britt failed to tell you if you were trafficked, raped, and got pregnant the Republicans would make you have the baby.
Natuire too, because that seems to be the way pregnancy works sometimes in the animal kingdom. Not that we should be raping anyone, but we do need to remember that is one of the ways we are evolving out of. We did not come from pristine non-rapey beings.
Katie Britt posturing as a cash-strapped middle-class mom who stays up nights worrying about inflation when she's actually a lawyer and former CEO, married to a lobbyist who is a former NFL player, is the GOP's anti-elitism in a nutshell. https://bsky.app/profile/sannewman.bsky.social/post/3kn5towtq5s2w
I actually heard part of her speech today. Good lord, she sounds completely deranged. In a "somebody should probably put all the sharp objects in her house under lock and key" sort of way.
She grew up in Cullman AL so can put on the rural affect but she comes from Old Mobile money. You don’t get to be a Senator at 41 without some powerful folks behind you. She was The Machine’s handpicked SGA President at Alabama and then went on to work under Shelby.
"I'm a mom! A mom!! And Mexicans want to rape me!! With burritos on their breath!! If you vote for Biden it will happen!! Don't let Mexicans rape me, and all the moms everywhere!! ".
Which part was basically a lie. (this links to a specific video, explaining her dishonesty, even if the link looks generic) TikTok - Make Your Day
So Britt’s horror story about a sex trafficked woman turns out to a) not actually be a sex trafficking case b) happened during the GWB admin. As admitted by her spokesperson: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/09/fact-check-katie-britt-sex-trafficking/
This is what happens when you are a country bumpkin wife who gets all of her info from dramatic victim fantasy news interpretation trolls. This is why you don't elect your local church karen in AL to go to congress. She may be awesome at keeping her alabama town folksy and quaint, but we cannot have that person having a federal voice, or being able to restrict opther areas from being what they are. This is the Big Karens in the little tiny pond trying to be way to big for their position. For a woman who thinks aspiring to make sammiches for her crotch droppings from her football husband to tell others that is all they should aspire to is quaint and frankly she should be told to fuck the fuck right off. None of us elected her to govern us in this way, and someone needs to step up and put congressional hillbillies in their fucking lane. They have a job to keep federal things happening which they are not doing when worrying about local social issues. The reality is the federal government has little to do with your local crimes.
From the internet trolls who brought you pizzagate, and crisis actors, comes the new chilling tale of terror!!
Also, as has been noted by observers more prominent than me, the logical conclusion of a story about a teen being prostituted in Mexico who managed to get to the U.S. and build a life that included prominent advocacy for others still at risk is a prima facia case FOR the moral good of the asylum program and being a safe harbor for those fleeing from victimization.
If you don't know how many illegals there are or where to find them, how do you know what percentage of them commit crimes? Other than breaking immigration law, of course.
Maybe we can explain it to him in terms of how many welded joints are predicted to fail based on prior reporting of failed joints?
It’s not an unfair question. There are probably lots of crimes illegal aliens commit that go unreported, because their victims are also undocumented and don’t want to get on ICE’s radar themselves. On the other hand, sauce for the goose: all the crimes committed by citizens and documented immigrants against the undocumented, for the same reason. But it’s not a smart question, because any crime committed against someone here legally presumably *will* be reported, regardless of immigration status of the perpetrator. It’s not like people stay undocumented once they’ve been arrested. “Oh gosh, you’re not legally in the country? Guess we can’t file any paperwork cause otherwise you’d be documented; you’re free to go, Mr. Murderer”… this is not how policing works, despite the Fox News implications. So at best we can say that illegal immigrants commit fewer crimes against those here legally than those who are here legally commit amongst each other.
Here's the fun part: Because of the way fractions work, he'll be forced to choose between arguing that there are way more illegal immigrants than you think there are — and, therefore, admitting that the crime rate is even lower — and arguing that the crime rate is way higher than you think it is, and therefore admitting that the number of illegal immigrants in this OMG SO SCARY MIGRANT INVASION WAVE COMING FOR YOUR WHITE WOMEN is actually lower.
And Britt herself is now lashing out. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/en...e-britt-sotu-story_n_65ef1341e4b05cfcf68074bc The GOP - not an honest bone in their bodies. Certainly not a spine.
The problem with the GOP is not that they doi not have a spine. In fact they do have a strong and fused into place spine that seems to be quite painful and runs with the very large stick they have rammed up their pretentious asses. However, their spine has no purpose as the nerve tissue has receded to nothingness and a dark orange red zombie ooze fills the space. The ooze is rancid and seems to be laced with cold shards of glass that continually bothers the organism. The GOP is an amazing species that should be studied, but never allowed to be in charge of anything.
The number of illegal immigrants is somewhere between 20-40 million how many of those people are committing identity theft and tax theft? How many are using welfare programs?
You are making the claim, so you need to tell us the actual numbers and where you got them because whatever is floating in your head is rotten and incorrect.
