Cruelty seems to be the point.

No argueing the cruelty. The others who were deported in the same manner should be repatriated.

What concerns me is there are ICE personnel ignoring a judge's stay. Pretty sure that's illegal. The IG needs to be brought in.

“Due to the fact that his mother hated Donald Trump he put it in her casket with her when she died and took a picture of her with the hat,” the friend, Hunter McCutcheon, told a detective, according to a report authored by the lead detective in the criminal case against the confessed mass murderer.

I think you'd have to say that boy just wasn't right.

Red states are more dependent on the federal dole

The hypocrisy never ceases to amaze. Why do so many idiotic Repubes consistently vote against their own interests?

Red states get the highest rate of return. How is this not in their best interest

But they consistently vote and rail against things very much in their best interest, such as Obamacare... They also vote with the best interests of Wall Street, which has partly led to the massive disparities we see today. They really ought to have been voting Democrat, but the social issues get in the way, and a grifter “populist” has led them astray.

Getting the highest rate of return may be in their best interest, but that's not what Chicks asked about. He asked about the hypocrisy of so getting while denouncing said benefits and voting against them.

You know what's in the people you abhor/despise best interest.

In America it's the individual who decides this.

Do you not think clean air and water are in every American's best interest? Donny's administration is trying to destroy the EPA. Are payday loans in any individual worker's best interest? The exorbitant interest rates they charge keep people trapped. Donny's administration is all for them. Is a warming climate in anyone's best interest? Donny's administration is saying it ain't so, despite his own scientists, what's left of them, sounding ever more shrill alarms.

Do I abhor/despise ignorant Trumpkins? Hardly. Feel sorry for them, though, especially those who were incredibly ignorant enough to vote for a con man, and are STILL ignorant enough to support him. That they simply refuse to accept and acknowledge facts is troublesome. It affects the future of us all, sadly.

Nice double down. Not only do you know what's best for a bunch of pitifully stupid people, you are now claiming to know what's best for all Americans. Were you a Hitler Youth in a previous life?

An ideologically based response.
