Republican cruelty, front and center on Christmas Eve.

Last edited Sun Dec 25, 2022, 04:29 AM - Edit history (1)

Two busloads of migrants were dropped off in front of VP residence tonight

I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am. Was really expecting today to be a no-political-news kind of day.

After the complete failure of the previous immigrant-abandoning stunt, well, I just don’t get how this is supposed to work out for Republicans. I would expect true Christians - if any still exist in their ranks - to universally condemn this action.

But we’re in uncharted territory, and the divide just grows deeper by the day.

I feel like we passed the point of no return long ago and the unthinkable (some type of civil war) has become inevitable.

It’s probably just a matter of time.

3. There's been a new Republican cruelty stunt?

Ugh. I'll have to go see if I can find out what it was. I am behind on the news, it seems.

I shouldn't be surprised, either, but I probably will be.

4. Especially cruel stunt with several busloads of migrants dropped off in DC in 18 degree weather

"Several busloads of migrants were dropped off in front of Vice President Kamala Harris’ residence in Washington, DC, on Christmas Eve in 18 degree weather late Saturday.

An initial two busloads were taken to local shelters, according to an administration official. More buses arrived outside the vice president’s residence later Saturday evening. A CNN team saw migrants being dropped off, with some migrants wearing only T-shirts in the freezing weather. They were given blankets and put on another bus that went to a local church.

Tatiana Laborde, managing director of SAMU First Response, said her group was prepared for Saturday night’s arrivals. Busloads of migrants have been arriving in Washington weekly since April.

“The DC community has been welcoming buses from Texas anytime they’ve come since April,” she said. “Christmas Eve and freezing cold weather is no different. We are always here welcoming folks with open arms.”

I read they expect 1.1 billion to be infected in China and India is starting preparations for it to hit them.

8. When these republican hired bus drivers
Sun Dec 25, 2022, 04:10 AM

drop people off in a residential neighborhood without proper clothing, no shelter or food in sight, probably
not even a map where they could find food and shelter with no money in their pockets, can the bus drivers
be arrested for "cruelty to humans"??? We do have "cruelty to animals" laws, surely there's something
the bus drivers could be charged with so they quit showing up unexpected and dropping bus loads
of people off at whoever's home they're told to deliver to.

Conspiracy to kidnapping, crimes against humanity, human trafficking, child endangerment. I hope President Biden calls him out on live TV and recommends Gov. Abbott get a psychological evaluation.

If our worthless MSM would finally do their jobs and call everyone responsible for this, the horrific deranged lunatics that they are, this will only continue.

14. You'd have to prove the drivers were aware

That nobody would be meeting the people. Once they arrived, if nobody was there, did the immigrants ask to be let back onto the bus? (I’m guessing not.) In any case, the idea of punishing the most low-level person doesn’t make much sense to me - how does that stop someone else from being an unwitting accomplice? How publicized do you think it would be, to the level that every potential driver would know about it?

No, the planners and mid-level people helping implement the plan are the ones to go after.

Charge a couple drivers with something or even hint you are gonna start charging them with
something and they'll have trouble finding bus drivers willing to do their evil deeds.

...should be brought before a grand jury and made to testify under penalty of purgery, to find out what he or she knows...then work the way up the chain, and call in everybody involved.

Make it difficult for them to find bus drivers for their kidnapping plots.

And confiscate the bus.
