Pesky regulations getting in the way of profit...

Let's allow asbestos back in, shall we?

[bambu-wisdom]

Bambu would go a-hunting those mischievous marsupials, but the frumpy government won’t let him have any fun with guns.

No fun shooting kangaroos, but sometimes you have to.
bambu has owned several different guns...in the olden days, when anyone could just buy a gun, no questions asked.
Kangaroos, rabbits, foxes, crows ...all the enemies of farmer Joe.
They [kangaroos, rabbits] just looove eating the green wheat as it's a few inches high. Foxes eat the tongues out of little lambs, and crows peck their eyes out.

If kangaroos and rabbits eat all your wheat [you spent 'a fortune' planting]...then there goes your income...and into poverty you go!

Wild pigs, another menace.

Now this is truly wonderful news. Like Reagan saying tear down that wall. Stop exporting terrorism and keeping your people locked up in a medieval shithole, Mr. Ayatollah.

Do you realize, Luee, that if the Iranian government were to somehow fall your chum, the always wonderful Assad, is finished too?

Alexandra Petri has an amusing column on this a day or two back,  in WaPo. 

I have a crush on her.

The America we know and love doesn't exist anymore.  Massive demographic changes have been foisted on the American people, and they are changes that none of us ever voted for, and most of us don't like...this is related to both illegal and legal immigration

- Laura Ingraham

This is the FOX-created bubble that kidcarter8 and REDSTATEWARD reside in, a bubble where this kind of open racism and xenophobia not only goes unquestioned, but where it is assumed that the American people share it.

It is of course just wrong.  The idea that immigration runs counter to the idea of America is breathtakingly ignorant of the very history of this country.

It is also totally ignorant of current opinion and politics.  Polls show large majority of Americans support a path to citizenship and DACA, and are against The Wall.  And if our current immigration policy does not support the will of voters its because its too restrictive.  A straight vote on DACA would pass congress, which is why McConnell/Ryan won't bring it to a vote.  And no, "most of us" did not vote for Trump's white nationalist immigration policies.  Most of us didn't vote for him.

But this is all they know.  This is the world as they see it.  And this total wrongness, on every level, is what produces the Trump Voter.

While this may be true, I do think it's important to add that for a very long time large amounts of Americans have been more in favor immigration as an idea, rather than a policy.

She’s brilliant. That was easy to see when she was in the school theater program with my kids.

[kiidcarter8]

So NEEDS' point is that because immigration CREATED the country, en masse' immigration should always be accepted - with no real limits whatsoever.

Yes, I am proud to disagree.  But please - no, NEEDS - dont assign every word from the mouths of Ms Ingraham and others to me.

[facilitatorn]

Kid you have to own up to the fact that your negative view of immigration is cause by republican scapegoating of immigrants to cover for their massive mismanagement and policy failures. Immigration in the United States is only a crisis where andwhen republicans make it so. Despite white nationalism, immigrants continue to make America great.

Preach!

Too late for ISIS, so sad for the youths of Islam who left their homes to build a new caliphate, rape females of all species, and kill infidels in novel and horrible ways as written in the book?
