It suprises me, the overt and shameless cruelty

Long and sad article at source

snip..."Though Mr. Trump said on Twitter over the weekend that “most of the workers not getting paid are Democrats,” that is far from true in places like Jackson County, Fla., where Marianna is the county seat. It is a Republican bastion so deeply conservative that it was illegal to sell liquor by the drink until November 2017. The president and his plan for a wall along the border are popular here, as they are across much of the state, which might explain why Florida Republicans in Congress have done little to pressure party leaders in the Senate to put an end to the shutdown."

snip>>"A few miles away, another prison employee, Crystal Minton, accompanied her fiancé to a friend’s house to help clear the remnants of a metal roof mangled by the hurricane. Ms. Minton, a 38-year-old secretary, said she had obtained permission from the warden to put off her Mississippi duty until early February because she is a single mother caring for disabled parents. Her fiancé plans to take vacation days to look after Ms. Minton’s 7-year-old twins once she has to go to work.

The shutdown on top of the hurricane has caused Ms. Minton to rethink a lot of things.

“I voted for him, and he’s the one who’s doing this,” she said of Mr. Trump. “I thought he was going to do good things. He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."


That woman,a single parent with twins & disabled parents, wants more pain to be applied to other Americans.

I'm gobsmacked.

1. "He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting"

I never thought leopards would eat MY face!

3. Yeah, I caught that. Jesus...

[lunasun]

2. Spoken like a true deplorable - "He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."

[Volaris]

11. The unspoken half of that sentence is:

He's hurting ME, instead (and how could he do that; he told ME I was SPECIAL).

The uniform trait among all Deplorables is narcissism.

4. He also said

most laid off workers support the shutdown. Is he now saying that all those Dems support his shutdown?

5. She sounds like the typical fake prez supporter.

What a sick, sociopathic group his cult is and they are proud of it. This reminds me of the grinning idiot who proudly wore a shirt with "He can grab my..." written on it and was showing an arrow pointing to her crotch. I am ashamed that they think they represent America.

6. So just who does she think should be the ones he hurts??

Evidently she was not paying attention when he campaigned. He said hurtful things about dead military heroes, their surviving families, disabled people, anyone who disagreed with him, the news media, women.....a long list of people who were targeted by him.

7. Perfect example of a Trumpanzee

8. Where do you think they put federal penitentiaries?

For the most part in shithole parts of the country.

Oh, with all due respect...I forgot to say that.

9. She has so much

Apparently healthy kids, her parents, while disabled, are alive, a loving and caring relationship, friend group. And she wants others to suffer. I just do not understand that worldview...

10. It's pretty stark but she's not alone

It's not just that she wants more, she'll stay where she's at if she can see people punished for something. It's sad.
