    Why do you think Trump sent them there? The cruelty is the point.
  2. As we suspected, they got nothing.

    L.A. and nationwide ICE raids/protests thread

    A first hand account: https://apnews.com/article/immigration-raid-los-angeles-california-macarthur-park-0a9cd22fdf287ea3433eb60e85a17817 Residents still shaken a day after federal authorities march through Los Angeles’ MacArthur Park LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hector Velasquez was playing cards with friends at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles early Monday when a young man with a megaphone walked through announcing federal agents were on their way. Another man drove past in a car, shouting out the window, “Immigration is coming!” The people in Velasquez’s group who did not have legal status scattered. Others with U.S. citizenship — like Velasquez — lingered to see what would happen. Two hours later, federal authorities and National Guard troops arrived, with guns and horses. By then, the park that is normally bustling with vendors was mostly empty. Activists had also spread word about the raid on social media. After sweeping through the park, the convoy that included armored vehicles left as suddenly as it had arrived, Velasquez said. He described the scene Tuesday as he once again sat in the park playing cards — this time only with those who were citizens. “I thought this was like a war,” said Velasquez, who was reminded of his native country of El Salvador. “Only in war do you see the tanks.” The Department of Homeland Security wouldn’t say what the purpose of the operation was, why it ended abruptly, or whether anyone had been arrested. The agency said in an email that it would not comment on “ongoing enforcement operations.” But local officials said it seemed designed to sow fear. Mayor Karen Bass announced at a Tuesday afternoon news conference that Los Angeles was joining a lawsuit to challenge what they say are unlawful tactics used by the Trump administration in immigration enforcement. “They are essentially pressing the envelope to see how far the American public will tolerate the federal seizure of power,” Bass said. “This random thing is just a way of creating a sense of terror and fear in our community.”

    Donald Trump blasts Bruce Springsteen

    Yeah, I don't get how a "billionaire" can't hire a makeup artist who could do better than this.

    Texas flooding terrible, tragic

    No, FEMA is being assailed by liberals because of the Trump's adminstration's mishandling of the situation, which comes on the heels of proposed budget cuts and staff reductions of employees.

    Donald Trump blasts Bruce Springsteen

    This is rich. A POTUS who doesn't know the history of Liberia or that the official language is English says that Springsteen is “dumb as a rock." But wait there's more! He calls Springsteen "This dried out “prune” of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!)" With the ton of orange makeup he wears Trump is the last person in the world to be critical of how someone else's skin looks.

    The Mange Forum seems a lot more appropriate than The Geek Club. Just sayin'.
  9. Fun Fact: English has been the official language of Liberia much longer than it's been the official language of the US. At least since 1986 for Liberia, but it's only been the official language of the US for four months.
  10. Fun Fact: Liberia was founded by Americans and the US has had involvement there 200 years which is why the official language is English.

    And if these deportations of everyday working folks continues they will come to realize how all this "cheap labor" has benefited them directly and indirectly,

    Bolding is pointing to or specfically flagging what is being responded to when quoting someone. HTH.

    Maximum Overkill's trannie threads quite often are the hottest topic on this forum but few would say the content is of a "five-star quality"

    I was extrapolating from the Sandy Loam said: So, if you have pretty much beeh "our VP" for almost 25 years, it could be inferred you were pretty much a constant presence.

    @TimHauck AKA Metal Helmet

    It doesn't. The claim was you have been a constant presence on this forum. And of course the lower post count means nothing if you used an alias in the years you were gone.

    Particularly since deporting them all means no one to pick the crops in the hot sun, work as busboys and dishwashers in restaurants, do the housekeeping at hotels, etc. It is pretty obvious Trump wants to deport them all and while they are cheering that, they obviously haven't thought through the foreseeable consequences.

    It doesn't if you were gone for a period of years.

    Hardcore Troubadour has even has more "forearm" experience if you are going by a post count but quantity does not equal quality.
