And I'm SURE that Dublin has no other possible guest lodging...

None at all, I’m sure.

Heck, most of 'em didn't even want it after the election that okay'd it.

As I recall, many had a rude awakening on the morning after, so certain it wouldn’t pass that it wouldn’t matter if they did vote for it.

From what I’ve read about it, they thought they’d just “send a message!” and vote their “I just wanna blow it all up/burn it all down” outrage. But then they woke up the next morning to one helluva political “hangover.”

Kind of like the vote for trump. Meh, it won’t matter so go ahead and vote for him. He’s not gonna win so it’ll be okay.”

What could possibly go wrong?

Yep. This.

Hey all you refugee-haters - better get ready for more. MANY more.

You think you don’t like them now? You say you’re being invaded?

Just wait. The accelerating climate crisis is gonna drive many many many more of them northward - and right into YOUR midst. And walls won’t make any difference. No matter how high. Won’t make ANY difference.

Get used to it. Whether you like it or not, THAT’S gonna be the “new normal.”

Whether you like it or not.

Much less any CONS with a conscience?

I wouldn’t bet on it.

I wouldn’t bet a stick of gum on it.

I wouldn’t even make a make-believe bet on it.

Maybe that’s what it takes to be GOP? If you’re born without a conscience?

Immigrants take the jobs we Americans would rather not bother with.

I think about the strawberry crop every time somebody yowls about how “they’re taking OUR jobs!!!”

Well, those jobs are there - go grab a few, ‘eh?

Go wash dishes in the back of restaurants. Or cook other people’s food back in those hot steamy kitchens.

For shitty pay...

The jobs are there...

Oh, those jobs are beneath you? The low “pay” isn’t worth it?

Okay. You’ve made your “point,” milord.

Any chance of changing the channel when the patient is asleep

or otherwise not paying attention?

Just a thought.

I Hope To God it's finally dawning on other people out there.!

Better late than ever.

Shows you how much damage and destruction a single attention whore can do.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
