Who convinced Trump that coal is worth going back to and what false data/logic did they use?

I didn’t even know coal companies made enough money to lobby, anymore.

Yeah. Students are leaving early because, reasonably so, they’d rather go home then end up in El Salvador.

Because that worked so well before.

Yeah, in the USA, religious beliefs are held in more importance than the right to access basic survival resources.

They’re convinced that these immigrants are in the system because they’re illegally receiving benefits as illegal aliens.

Yeah, and most non-Nazis have long left the platform and deleted their account. The log-in issue is a huge one. It effectively blocks a massive portion of the US from getting important information about money that is theirs.

Definitely. Things politicians say make a lot more sense when you realize that code speak.

It kind of always has been this way. “The people,” “Americans,” “White people,” etc have always been defined arbitrarily, and always in American history have referred to wealthy landowners who adhered to a puritan work ethic and a supposed “Anglo-Saxon” culture.

I’m torn on this. Like I don’t like giving churches special rights, but also, it’s great that many are trying to protect immigrants and I want to keep those safe spaces.

But applications are rising.

Oh definitely. I think they’re being offered a horrible deal. But I can see how some might be inclined to take the shitty deal if their current financial situation is in fact one of desperation. I hope their citizens are in better shape than Americans.

I don’t think “over educated” is the right word. I lean toward “poorly educated regarding history and the other humanities.”

I wish they included “legal” in the headline. Would make a world of difference to centrists.
