With such certainty if he or his henchmen are the ones paying them IMHO.

Seattle and Portland in 2020. The ONLY difference is that U-Haul will no longer transport his agitators.

Loved Kimmel's montage of our President's and Yam Tits. I wish every single media source could play that.

I was feeling very down and hopeless this morning. I really needed to be reminded that the majority of people are not crazy and evil like this administration is.

I'm curious (well, not really) how those on the other side of the aisle would respond to what every President since Eisenhower had to say about immigrants.

with videos of all past presidents (and the current one) commenting on immigrants. A rather stark difference, in many ways.

Ike - We are, one and all, immigrants, or the sons and daughters.

JFK - We are the descendants of 40 million people who left other countries to make a new opportunity for themselves and their children.

LBJ - The lamp of this grand old lady is brighter today, and the golden door that she guards gleams more brilliantly in the light of an increased liberty for the people from all countries.

Ford - I’m convinced that the vast majority of Americans today want these people to have another opportunity.

Carter - I was in the party that welcomed generations of immigrants.

Reagan - If we ever closed the door to new Americans our leadership in the world would soon be lost.

HWB - Immigration is not just a link to America's past, it's also a bridge to America's future.

Clinton – This is one country. We like our diversity, we are proud of it

W - Amid all the complications of policy, may we never forget that immigration is a blessing and a strength.

Obama - These people, our neighbors, our classmates, our friends, they did not come here in search of a free ride or an easy life. They came to work

Biden - We don't demonize immigrants. We don't single them out for attacks, we don't believe they're poisoning the blood of the country. We're a nation of immigrants and that's why we're so damn strong.

fRump They’re eating the dogs, the people that came in. They’re eating the cats, they’re eating, they’re eating the pets.
