It's disappointing that otherwise intelligent conservatives can't seem to see the consequences implicit in choosing a short term course of action.
Expel all the illegal immigrants? And where would you find them? Boxed up for easy shipping in the illegal immigrant discount store?
No, if you are promising to find and expel them all, you'll have raid the homes and businesses employing them. Which means you're also barging into all the OTHER homes and businesses to check for them, too. #politics

Just a quick update since I still have lesson plans to make for tomorrow.
Western NC news is reporting that a single individual who made threats to FEMA workers in Rutherford County has been taken into custody and that rumors of a militia are untrue.
I saw multiple postings on CoSo about armed militants in pickup trucks hunting FEMA workers in Rutherford County. The posts were conspicuously silent on any details. As per usual this was not the whole truth.
Carry on and goodnight.

When I was young and heard about the hysteria created when Orson Wells broadcast his radio play "War of the Worlds" and thought to my self how could people be so gullible. Now as a grown up I answer myself by gesturing to Twit-X and other right wing media.

If ghost gun assembly parts aren't "guns" covered by laws about background checks, then people who sell them aren't "gun manufacturers" covered by laws granting immunity to lawsuits from victims.

Stuff I wouldn't have thought of to do in a flood, copypasta from FB so you don't have to go there.
The NOAA meteorologists have helpfully placed a yellow "X" in case Milton would like to check out Mar al Lago.
