Don’t let them breathe DANC!!
Helpful hint, danc. Stay away from religion. It's another topic you know nothing about.
You continue to support your party's leader whose own sister described him as having no principles. Not surprising, then, that you'd defend his disciple to the hilt, even when he does something malicious like this.
We all know Democrats would never ''use'' anyone for political stunts right? BTW I wasn't laughing at your Bible verses I was laughing at you posting them. You are a total hypocrite about things like this. It's OK to use Boston or Springfield but how dare he use Martha's Vineyard? You have a house there or something?
i guess if the sarcasm needs an explanation, it doesn't really work?
Six Killed, Over 20 Wounded In Chicago Weekend Shootings
Shootings in Chicago this weekend reportedly took six lives and wounded at least 28 others amid rising crime, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

The handwringing is also because this is all bringing attention to the open border - and it's close to the election.
Dems are nervous about their policies actually being reported on by the lamestream media.
They probably were fed on the plane, had a bathroom to use and comfortable seats for the trip. Hell Id take a free vacation on Martha's Vineyard for a bit and find a place to sleep in this kind of weather
Well, he bated you into being a spelling Nazi.
(that's a joke. Not calling you a Nazi. I know you guys like to take everything literally)
There are resources in cities, Einstein. They were promised jobs and housing in Boston. But, of course, that point went over your head.
No, obviously the point has went over your head completely, You are fine with it when its in places you think its OK but but tread on the bastion of white Liberals and you get upset. Promised by whom? Do people need their lawns mowed in MV? Have you taken any migrants in under your roof?
Craze, from what I can tell asylum seekers aren't legal immigrants per se.
They are facing a long process toward becoming a citizen with a strong possibility they might be exported if they cannot prove to a court they meet the asylum law requirements. Courts are backlogged which presents a big problem.
Cannot see how having asylum seekers in Chicago makes meeting our laws concerning asylum seekers more efficient.
culture wars? it's making both sides so stupid on this issue but I do think this one sorts itself out. it's still culturally much easier to become an American than a Chinese, a Russian, a German, and so on. We have urban centers in desperate need of tenants, jobs in desperate need of workers, plenty of room for for our major cities to grow. we're close to Mexico and Central America, which have geographical and (amazingly still) post-colonial issues they are still sorting out that doesn't enable them to employee a high % of their people. we can also still be a destination for students and professional-class immigrants if we get our visa shit together too. not sure how it's holding up but read a few years ago that 1/2 of Chinese students at US universities stay here.
but I'm just going to assume the US will fail up on the issue eventually lol
You can't possibly be this stupid. Martha's Vineyard is a summer resort for rich people. There is nothing to do there for eight months of the year. The climate is harsh, nothing is open, there is nothing to do, and there are no jobs. Except for the summer, it is literally an island of no opportunity.
DeSantis didn't send them there for a vacation, ace.
@UncleMark didn't you ask for this thread to not devolve into name calling?
I realize Bowel is on your team, but isn't calling someone an 'asshat' name calling?
Making a streamlined easier way to become legal for the ones that are deserving should be the first step. Do some checking on them and just get it done. All kinds pouring over.
I have friend Ive known 25 yrs,met him working and he spoke little English. Part of his family was legal part not he got bad info. He speaks better English than most now, has a house pays taxes Kids are citizens graduated HS . Have jobs but because of his poor info originally from family members he is still having problems getting 100% legal after 25 yrs. That kind of thing needs streamlined and look at some records, never had any issues with the law except being here . But no traffic issues major crimes etc. Why don't we deal with that before just letting everyone pour in .

Clearly DeSantis doesn't have much of a moral compass, but who the hell is advising him and thought this was a good idea? This was a terrible political calculation that will follow him through the fall and beyond.
So educate me where Jesus talked about accountability. Or STFU with your psychobabble Christian-bashing bullshit.
"Christian-bashing?" You're bearing false witness again, danc. I embrace the faith. You make a mockery of it.
Here's a bible verse I found especially for you:
A fool does not delight in understanding,
But only in revealing his own mind.
Proverbs 18:2
Hmmm.... I don't see anything about Jesus in Proverbs, telling anyone 'Thou shalt be held accountable'.
You embrace the faith? Yeah, you really show it on this board.
Leaves to rake soon? Should be plenty of housing that could be sublet over the winter?
I’ll take the heat over cold any day. But don’t get distracted with me. They’re sitting up sucking in oxygen grateful for a break!
Not me. I'll take cold over heat any day.
Hard to believe 50 people on Martha's Vineyard among the uber-wealthy can cause this kind of apoplexy. It's actually funny as hell. I know you don't care for Desantis, but I think it's genius.
When I was younger the cold didnt bother me as much. Heat I was OK working but not in the sun . Had a sunstroke and you never really recover totally. I find it much easier and cheaper to run enough AC in the summer vs heat in the winter. Granted I burn wood but the work and you have no choice on heat . It costs me 40-45 bucks a month on AC so I never give it much thought.No heat pipes freeze all kinds of bigger problems
Still bearing false witness, danc?
I do not always suffer fools gladly, but I'm usually respectful - - even to you, which might qualify me for sainthood.
Wait - you think you're respectful to me? I see your problem now - you're delusional. I knew it before, but this proves it to everyone.
You claiming to 'embrace the faith' while posting the way you do is the reason so many people detest Christians.
You don't think anybody in DeSantis' office tipped them off? Really?
I wasn't a fan mostly b/c while, sure, it shaved 10k off the loans for those with federally backed loans, the real predatory shit wasn't touched b/c it's private.
So yeah, it was one of those "promises made, promises kept" things which are usually bad policy.
Agree. The dumbest immigration policy is welcoming them to our best Universities [at the expense to qualified in state students} and then making them leave after graduation. I should have stayed with the girl from Hattie. She majored in French for crying out loud.
I just can't deal with the cold and it's gotten worse as I get older. Heat can be uncomfortable, but cold is downright painful. I get to feeling chilly in October and don't warm up until April.
Keep deflecting
Your emperor’s junk is in the wind
Tell us again about how deeply you want others to help immigrants - my forge needs hot air
Don’t judge me Ace. I am all for immigration as long as we all follow the established process for becoming a citizen. While it is amusing to see the hypocrites on the left get their noses rubbed in this, these poor folks should not be pawns.
Im sure the snooty rich Dems on Mahthah’s Vinyahd will hire them - if they stay downstairs out of sight
Hypocrits
Deflecting? Look in the mirror, pal. The posts were about DeSantis. Once again, he exploited 50 vulnerable people to stick it to his enemies. He sucks.
You’re descended from Yankees who didnt have the balls to be Abolitionists.
You are pro-immigrant - so long as the immigrants stay in Florida, Texas, Arizona and California.
Wind.
Hypocrisy.
November.
You're a unique challenge, danc, but I stand by my earlier statement that I'm usually respectful to posters - - even you. I think serious posters see that.
And it's absolutely hilarious that you whined to the mod about me for referring to someone as an "asshat" (would "tinfoil hat" have been better?) while, in the same sentence, you referenced me, as you usually do, as "bowel." You're a piece of work. See? I said "work" instead of something else that would have been more suitable.
Interesting.

Ron DeSantis Flew Immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard, Echoing a Racist Stunt From Exactly 60 Years Ago
In 1962, it was just a bunch of racists; this time the inhumanity comes at the hands of the state.
You're not very bright. No intelligent person would make factual assumptions about someone they've never met (i.e. me) and know nothing about. I thought only danc did that.
I'm the grandson of immigrants. My ancestors weren't here during the Civil War era so stop defaming them with the "didn't have the balls" bullshit. Their lives were profiles in courage. They came here not knowing a soul, without fluency in the language or money in their pockets, but with an unwavering commitment to making a better life for themselves and their families. They succeeded despite enormous obstacles including closed doors (jobs and housing), mockery and disrespect. I know, because I witnessed some of it.
Yes, I am proudly pro-immigrant. For me, it's personal. No, I don't believe in open borders. But I do believe that people who enter this country, legally or illegally, are worthy of respect. And DeSantis' little stunt was disgustingly disrespectful and cruel.
And there it is…..when nothing else works, toss out the old R card. Even if it isn’t remotely analogous.Interesting.

Desantis will end up being Trump on steroids to people on the left.
