That was my point. The US used to be the gold standard, the place of quality where the rest of the world would stash their investments for safety and security. Now we’re Just Another Country.

So apparently Abbott felt he had to up the hate game. Sending migrants to Martha’s Vineyard during mild weather wasn’t mean enough. This past weekend he sent a bus load of migrants to LA in the middle of the tropical storm. Since the Republican voting base seems to love them some mean spirited asshole behavior I imagine this will secure his re-election. And unlike real Jesus I imagine Republican Jesus loves this shit.

You’re acting like sending some people who illegally jumped the border to a place that welcomes them with open arms and plenty of resources is a bad thing.

According to at least some of the mayors of self proclaimed sanctuary cities, it is a bad thing. Self aggrandizement is one thing, but living up to the standards they proclaim is quite another.

Actually I’m acting like people shouldn’t be sent to a city where the residents are told to stay home and stay safe because of an extreme weather event. But by all means continue to justify that ugly jackass. It helps the rest of us better understand what motivates Republican voters.

I can only imagine the glee Republican voters will feel when desantis or Abbott sends a bus of immigrants without winter clothing to liberal Minneapolis in January or February. Sad.but whatever. We’re talking about a governor who thought the innkeeper was the hero in the Christmas story.

I know that you’re from California, JP, but I can assure you as an upper Midwesterner that the Twin Cities peeps have plenty of winter clothing to give out.

I think it is sorta cool to use humans as playing pieces in this sort of demented game.

Lets people see who is who...

Sweet. Keep justifying his ugly behavior. You just don’t effing get it. Thankfully your perspective is the minority view of Americans.

All snark aside, what is so terrible about busing people to places other than their entry point into the United States? Agreed that during LA’s storm it was not a good time. But in other times, why not? Do you think these immigrants have an expectation that they will stay in Texas? Is that a justified expectation?


St. Louis County was notorious for busing homeless people into my city because my city supposedly had the resources to deal with them. It isn’t a new concept. And no, we did not need more homeless population here but what are ya gonna do.
