Who went to the Keep Families Together Rally?

Marches are about as useful as 'thoughts and prayers' but it makes some people think they are helping. It makes me think of the lyrics to an old Buffy Ste. Marie song, "...love junkies want to change the world, it quickly stays the same". Sad but true :(

I went. I live in Austin. I didn't go with the expectation that this rally, any rally or my attending will change our current situation. In fact, I suspect that TPTB see the rallies as a confirmation that everything is working as planned. The deplorables will see the whining by the snowflakes as a sign that their big tough alpha president is hurting them good. As you can probably tell, I have been incredibly cynical and deeply depressed about our current situation. So, I guess I went despite my feelings and in hopes that collecting with like-minded individuals may spark a renewed fight in me. I'm not sure it accomplished that , but it did give me some hope that younger people may be fired up enough to fight and just maybe energized to vote in November. I have gone to a number of these rallies in the last year and this one definitely skewed younger. We need that. The young are the ones that don't vote.

Let's be honest: it was a grab for attention. More stupid bullshit and did about as much good a long toenail.

Too damn hot!

I couldn't make it. I had brunch, then a mani/pedi and then hot yoga.

Because keeping kids with law-breaking child abusers is low on my list of priorities. The kids are probably better off in foster care and I don't want to encourage more people risking their children's safety to "find a better life" at my expense.

Do you know anything at all about the condition of American citizen children in need in the foster care system? Have you been to any rallies for them lately?

How many people that attended this truly care about the "issue" at hand? It was all about the FARCEbook post to please the SJW friends. I'd rather go to a festival...at least they sell beer and you can reconsider buying that artistic wind chime from China that you considered purchasing three festivals ago.

I went. I wanted to see/be among the people who are likewise angry instead of just reading about them online. I vote. I'm going to donate more. The media covers marches and they all have more participants than attendees at Trump's inauguration so I like rubbing that in.

I went to about five marches last year. I didn't march today because I went to a wedding. It was a really fun wedding.

I will march again in the future. For the most part I send recurring donation to groups like the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, and Democratic election campaigns.

I don’t associate with anyone who is the kind of person who would participate in a protest. I’ve been adjacent to a rally to gawk at people, but that’s it

I’m with R6.

These rallies are just a way for white-guilt liberals to feel good about themselves and post on Facebook about how woke they are. After the rally's over, they stop to pick up a $7 latte and go back to their Beaver Cleaver neighborhoods, the thought of actually housing a desperate migrant family never crossing their privileged minds.

I did. At least two thousand attendees, very hot. Heart-breaking accounts from asylum seekers

At least three thousand it seems.

R13: If it’s so heartbreaking in the US,, they can return to their respective native lands.

Holy fuck, what a bunch of nincompoops here, protests changed the US - god damn there are stupid assholes out there

On the other side of the spectrum, the Right had some kind of prayer rally in Portland yesterday, Antifa showed up, fighting ensued, police had to intervene and break up the "riot". Antifa got demolished, some knocked out cold.

I admire all of you who attended. If I lived in the US I would have.

Here’s the thing, bitches

1. No one, I mean, no one chooses to be an asylum seeker, these are not joy riders just getting on a greyhound bus

2. It’s not a crime to seek asylum.

3. Children should never ever be separated from their parents if the parents are seeking asylum. This is entirely immoral

4. Sorry, the US is MUCH richer than you cunts are making out. It can take all the asylum seekers it can, and then some. It’s the responsibility required of being a very large wealthy nation

5. Dentention centers are making a killing, more than 700 dollars per child each night, more than staying at the trump plaza. These dentention center CEO are all big campaign contributors to Trump.

6.No one posting on this thread is a full blooded quechua or Lakota, so shut the fuck up!

"Sorry, the US is MUCH richer than you cunts are making out. It can take all the asylum seekers it can, and then some. It’s the responsibility required of being a very large wealthy nation."

First and foremost, no. But please do make this the center of the Democratic platform. *eyeroll*

"Dentention centers are making a killing, more than 700 dollars per child each night, more than staying at the trump plaza. These dentention center CEO are all big campaign contributors to Trump."

And oddly, several of them are of Latino heritage.

[quote]First and foremost, no.

No, cunt, the answer is verifiably yes, the USA is richer and larger, it must help asylum seekers.

[quote]And oddly, several

And, your point is? It’s still courrption motivating these crimes

No substitute for actually getting off one's ass in November 2016 and voting for Hillary.

[quote]1. No one, I mean, no one chooses to be an asylum seeker, these are not joy riders just getting on a greyhound bus

Oh please. There are asylum seekers in Europe who openly admit to being just that. They come from the Balkans and apply for asylum in the north of Europe to get free room and board for a few months.

Then there are the others (Arabs/Africans) who pretend to be actual asylum seekers, but the fact that they've crossed many safe countries to get to a prosperous one tells you that they're not.

Have any asylum seekers who traveled through Mexico explained why they didn’t seek asylum in Mexico, if safety was the reason for their leaving their country? It would refreshing to hear an asylum seeker state that, yeah, it’s about money.

Sorry, "from"^

Yes I went.

It was hot as balls.

Can't we just send them all to China? They already have 1.6 billion people, what's a few million more? And they could house all the migrants in those big empty cities they built for no reason.

We are not the United States of the World. We have borders for a reason. We have enough citizens of this country to help before citizens of the other countries. I hope the Wall is built and people have to go to only certain points to seek asylum or gain entry. Caught coming over the wall you are just dropped right back over or sent right back where you came from to get in line at an official entry point.

What is this wall shit

How is it expected to work exactly?

I had assumed it was just a way for Trump to attract morons but are there people with an IQ greater than room temp who think it is a good idea?

Did the Berlin Wall stop people trying to leave?

Lots of ordinary Poles and Germans were delighted when they started oppressing the Jews. Not surprised same thing is happening here.

The US/Mexico border is just shy of 2000 miles long. Anybody who actually thinks a wall is going to be built to cover that is a total fucking moron.

Most of Datalounge in recent weeks:

Yeah why didnt these free loaders seek asylum in mexico where they speak the same language?

Because Mexico has strict immigration laws as do most countries but for some reason the US isn’t supposed to have any.

Deplorable messaging:

How DARE you go to a protest if you are doing better than the average dirt poor migrant?! It totally makes you a "hypocrite".

Blah blah virtue signalling blah blah.

Any of you buying this, or should we just keep on standing against what is wrong, unacceptable, and unamerican when we see it?

[quote]There are asylum seekers in Europe who openly admit to being just that.

Fuck off, cunt. When these asylum seekers are getting caged in boxes in the US then get back to us, fuckface. Until then, lie and cheat and wheedle some other thread

R24, well, it’s a long tale, confusing and difficult, but watch this video, but watch to the end, please, otherwise you forfeit commenting further

[quote]. Can't we just send them all to China?

Probably because you’re a troll

[quote]We are not the United States of the World. We have borders for a reason

Unless you arrived in 1530, or you’re Native Lakota Indian, fuck right off, you’re a fucking immigrant. Fuck the fuck off

[quote]How is it expected to work exactly?

It’s not expected to work, it’s a political farce. Building contractors will give trump a lot of money, that’s why trump is for it. Oh, and his ignorant base, much in evidence here on the DL

[quote]Because Mexico has strict immigration laws as do most countries but for some reason the US isn’t supposed to have any.

You’ve never left your own fucking back yard, honey, how the FUCK would you know that?

And asylum is different than simple immigration. God DAMN you all are dense idiots.

I would love to know the % of people who went to the rallies who didn't vote Dem or didn't vote at all in 2016?

This was the first rally I was able to go to and it was hot as hell but I'm so glad I went. I'll keep going until that fat cunt is out of office. The deplorables obviously don't like the protests which is a huge bonus.

R42. Thatta gal. Get 'em Datalounge patriots!! For a while it was a hate-filled, deplorable circle jerk with each deplorable trying to outdo the next in their vileness.

r1 it is helping and do you have any idea how angry this makes Donald because they are not for him but against him. He wants crowds like that but can't get them.

r42 Mexico does have strict immigration laws. Don't worry we'll send some of the migrants to your house since you obviously would love to house, clothe and feed them.

R42, you are incorrect. Mexico does in fact have very strict immigration laws. Google it.

Yeah sure keep families together... except evil white nuclear families

The protests got the Deplorables scared. They desperately want us to stay quiet, but tough luck shitheads.

Who would you rather live next door to?

This thread went to hell fast...

I went. In my College town, there were about 300 people in 95 degree heat there; a pretty good turnout.

There was one counter-protester, a fat slob in a Make American Great Again shirt. He screamed out some of the things the deplorables in this thread have said.

Because only white supremacists oppose mass immigration/open borders. Ok, r51.

r50 no I think they want you to continue alienating people with your dumb causes

To all who went to the rally, please answer R34's question.

R43, likely none and all. These were the “super voters” what organizers say about those who have voted in three of the past four elections. Not one member of the GOP was there

R55, fuck you, because it’s not a grammatical sentence? And frankly, you’ve never looked at the video posted and never thought ever about any fucking thing outside of your city so fuck off

I was working at Sally’s.

[quote] To all who went to the rally, please answer [R34]'s question. Yeah why didnt these free loaders seek asylum in mexico where they speak the same language?

Because people from Nigeria speak french not spanish

R48, incorrect? About what, what an idiot you are? I never mentioned immigration laws of Mexico

r54 Nah, you scared, bro.

Thank you r52

Nigeria, R59? That makes no sense.

I’m an illegal alien so I stayed home. My wife went...

However crudely he put it, R34 asked a legit question that many Americans are asking.

r61 not conservative, bro, but like I said keep up alienating people

I wonder if Mexico would be better off today if it never became independent of Spain. Or maybe that's a topic for a whole other thread.

Ha ha.

Message count tells me the smelly deplorables are still trying to stink up the place.

Not working.

r60 you are the poster girl of what deplorables WANT to see on the left . A douche who is a completely out of control emotionally. Look at all the replies you wrote in this thread. You are playing into their hands and they are laughing at you. Screaming a ranting like the bi polar mental case you ARE. Get a fucking grip!

Unhinged loon / r60 bi polar replied to me in 3..2..1

It was a thousand fucking degrees here, but when they hold a rally to protest the abominable state of the US foster care system and how the kids in it are treated and then forgotten about until they are turned out into society with nothing to build on, I'll go

Have fun at your rally today?

Oops!

Lets see: kids in cages!! oh noes!

Detention centers getting $700 per night per kid from the government.

Well which is it? I posted about the very attractive centers I saw on TV and was treated as though I was retarded for believing what I saw.

They truly DID look like a high end kids' camp,,,even though that phrase was spoken by Laura Ingraham rendering it bullshit.

The kids were never in cages. They were in gigantic caged areas as they were being processed in. Then they went to the plush colorful dorms with TVs, video games, toys galore and dining halls. $700 a day folks.

I guaran dam tee that 80% or more of those kids thought they had died had gone to heaven once they cleared in processing and arrived in one of the spanking new air conditioned dorms. Considering many were living in tar paper shacks, the dorms seemed like the Ritz Carlton to them.

R73 you will now be FF'd for posting something sane.

Locals across the US and shutting and rejecting facilities for ICE!

R73, and gauranfuckingtee than you’re the goddamned bigot shitting all Over this site. no kid thinks it’s “the ritz Carlton” getting ripped away from their parents when crossing a foreign boarder, and frankly, WHO THE FUCK CARES WHAT YOU THINK! It’s our country, not yours, bigot. Fucking die under the bridge you crawled out from under!

[quote]but like I said keep up alienating people

English? O español?

[quote]A douche who is a completely out of control emotionally

Fuck you. It’s important to me and thousands of others, go fucking watch reality TV and eat yourself to death if the concept of alien asylum is Over your Head!

Overly emotional bi polar mental case / r75 / r76 / r77 / r78............

[quote]OP: If you didn't go, tell us why you stayed away?

What was it?

Another excellent thread to weed out the deplorables.

Anybody using the deplorable buzzwords "SJW" or "virtue signaling" guarantees that I don't want to hear their opinion on, well, anything.

[quote]I would love to know the % of people who went to the rallies who didn't vote Dem or didn't vote at all in 2016?

I am obsessed with this. I know a bunch of gay guys with a non-profit who made a huge deal out of going and splashing themselves all around social media. One hinted strongly that if you didn't go for reasons he didn't approve of you would likely be unfriended.

Of course I am almost CERTAIN he wrote in Bernie or voted for Stein! I'm certain their were MANY who will again find more value in protesting rather than voting for the DEMOCRAT in 2018 and 2020!

While you guys are in this thread, maybe you could answer me a question I've been curious about. Why are you guys so damn obese? Is it because Trump is your God and you eat just like he tells you to? Or is it because you eat your feelings instead of getting them out? Is that why you are so angry about the protests, because you can only waddle around a bit and get winded so easily? Thanks in advance for answering!

What r82 said!

I will bet r78 didn't vote Dem or not at all.

R76 For real: something is horribly wrong with R76.

And I don't mean basic Data Lounge catshit crazy...that is the norm here. No, she literally sounds dangerous and unwell.

You are sad. Very, very sad. You want to sound like you are the most deeply caring humanitarian on the planet, but then you speak to another human being who had done NOTHING to you but type an opinion.

You are not a good person, and those kids will be just fine. I'd rather see them in confinement forever than placed with a lunatic like you.

r86, I hope you read what she's been writing in this thread and her excuse is "she cares."

Nope, I’ve voted in EVERY election, including local and fire chief since I came of age. I moved abroad and airlines voted. It’s a right, and only imbeciles don’t.

So let me get this correct....Mexico has strict immigration laws so that idea is out. So, we here in the USofA are just supposed to spread our legs and let anyone in after some rally that a bunch of white people attended to feel better and invoked the "butBUTbut the children!" argument? I guess not.

ICE, gone soon

R76 I know I’m not psychic, but I have a strong sense ‘she’ might be triggered?

r88 = r76 = r90 = bi polar mental case

Triggered only applies to the battle shellshocked, you need not use it

[Quote] Nope, I’ve voted in EVERY election, including local and fire chief since I came of age. I moved abroad and airlines voted.

R89, not very smart, are you? It’s NOT immigration, it’s Assylum seeking. Damn, you guys have thick skulls.

DLer caught in the act! “Protecting” America

Hillary supporters, R83

R93 ok let me rephrase the truth R76 is ‘certifiably insane!’ There I feel better.

Bernie supporters, R83

My local Indivisible group of about 450 marched in a small college town near me, which is in the vicious (dark) heart of Trump country.

There was considerable verbal abuse of the protesters, and even one incident of severe harassment of an elderly woman using a walker. There were minor dustups started by the Trumpers. They were in your face and cowardly, lying to local media that the protesters were bussed in, and that they were violent. Liars.

I think things are only going to get crazier for awhile.

R95 - learn to spell if you are going to use such big words to make the situation seem legitimate.

r76 is obviously a Latina. If this was about anything/anyone else she wouldn't give a fuck.

[quote] lying to local media that the protesters were bussed in, and that they were violent

90% of the time they are bussed in and are violent

Actually, It's pretty God damned important for Trump and his thugs to see just how much of America is sick of his shit. That way he knows just how much trouble He's in for come election time, and he also sees that we're not buying his bullshit. And R70, if your panties have been in such a bunch all this time about Foster Kids , why Don't YOU get off your fat ass and DO something about it!

When it's the SAME people protesting every time about EVERYTHING, R104, it kind of loses its impact.

The "thugs" are the Democrats, with their desire to force identity politics down everyone's throat and make everyone comply and think the same way. It is so bad at the moment where one is not allowed to freely admit they currently side conservative, even if they traditionally voted Democrat. If the Democrats don't wake up in a damn hurry run someone with common sense that refuses to play the identity politics, then they will lose again.

Oh, I get it, you are trying to emulate your Trump-God.

I just would like to know how these people are supposed to be integrated into a first-world economy. Automation keeps growing and will continue to replace many jobs. The US no longer has a manufacturing base. There is already a severe problem with poverty among native-born citizens. I just don't see how the huge influx of unskilled, non-English speaking, illiterate or barely-literate people is going to be absorbed into a modern first-world country where technology and automation are just going to keep changing the fabric of society.

illegals have been protesting FOR YEARS...and look what it got us all..... so

no. no rally for moi.

No, it's too hot outside. Anyway, if people think what happens to illegal immigrants who try to enter the United States is bad they have not been paying attention to what's been happening in Australia.

I don't know or care why they didn't seek asylum in Mexico.

Maybe because Mexico is not a place that will keep them safe?

Or maybe they want to be here for a better future.

Either way, torturing them and their babies for it is deeply fucked up mentally and ethically and so I protested that upjumped incel Stephen Miller and Orange Hitler for what they did.

I went to go march and rally and scream and stuff, but I kept running into and nearly tripping over homeless people laying in doorways and on the sidewalks. It became so annoying that I finally threw my sign and trash on the sidewalk and left. But I'll keep ranting about it family separation on Twitter!

As for the heat, I read(on a non-biased site--not FoxNews) that the government spent 15 million dollars just to install sufficient air conditioning systems throughout the containment areas.

Do you think Mexico would do that? Think about what Mexican prisons are like? That is why I was not kidding when I said that the actual dorms that are strictly for residency and not holding areas, likely seemed like a 5 star hotel to the majority of those in asylum quarantine.

Remember, the majority of them have just spent months crossing treacherous desert land with no water, a/c or beds and food. You going to tell me that the housing doesn't seem quite comfortable to them?

Ex-pat living in Europe, so no - but I damn well will be protesting and demonstrating when Trump comes here 13/14 July.

Wow! As the big sister in a pre-adoptive (good, loving) foster family I I have seen first hand just how traumatic it is for children to be removed from even the worst parents. R6, R70 and R73 are moral monsters. And by the way those worst parents retain their due process rights because this is America where the Constitution defines us, not brain dead nativism.

Taking children from their parents without due process is kidnapping whether the man in the van works for ICE or is a free agent. Putting children with loving parents in Foster care is social engineering and a waste of my American taxpayer dollars. Wasting taxpayer money to engage in stare sponsored anti-family lawlessness is not a conservative value.

I marched yesterday with about a hunded people from one primarily Republican municipality to another. The response from cars and onlookers was overwhelmingly positive. There was no violence.

I feel privileged to have read your post r115. Thank you. You make me feel proud and hopeful.

I was there in spirit. I'm pretty comfortably off and the market and tax cuts have been good for me. So I'm only sympathetic to the cause. I also needed the time to plan my next vacation. Europe or Asia you think?

The white privilege just oozes from this thread.

R114, please do, he deserves nothing but derision when he leaves the states

R112, no, you didn’t

I didn’t go because I hate children.

I went to one here in North Carolina. Good size crowd. I did not go for any recognition. No one evens knows I went.

R114 where in Europe do you live? Was it easy to emigrate there and get citizenship?

Fuck off R1. Marches are a lot more useful than trolling online and mocking those who actually get up off their asses. How exactly are YOU useful?

of course they choose to be "asylum" seekers in the US instead of Mexico. Who offers the most material benefits? The US. If they were true asylum seekers, they would declared so in Mexico.

This thread is great! I love watching deplorables make fools of themselves. They are NERVOUS and SCARED. And it shows.

Your time's almost up, darlings. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I'm going out today in the heat to search for assylum!

[quote] Ex-pat living in Europe, so no - but I damn well will be protesting and demonstrating when Trump comes here 13/14 July.

Gee, protesting the president in a foreign country, my you are so brave, R114. Do you bow down to everyone as well?

Little boy at r131, go learn how to wipe your ass before you start posting here.

It’s a profitable business for some to incarcerate children

Watch, r128

R131, you DO realize that trump has never gotten a warm welcome outside the US, except for North Korea, that is

That little Batman boy in r134 is adorable. My heart so goes out to him. Dads pretty cute too. What a tragedy. Such inhumanity.

Texas ranchers find the alarm exaggerated.

This says it all

in danger? lol

This is the latest cause du jour for white-guilt liberals to feel good about themselves without actually doing jack shit, such as taking migrants who are already here into their homes to help them. The pictures of them marching does make for great Facebook posts that get tons of likes and positive comments, though.

I saw very few black, Asian or even Latino faces in the various crowds, interestingly enough.

R139 you don't young women are being forced into sex slavery in some of these countries

I guess human trafficking is not a dangerous thing in your book

R140, fuck off. It’s repehensible and immoral what is happening. Eat shit if you don’t like “what liberals” are rallying about.

[quote]I saw very few black, Asian or even Latino faces in the various crowds, interestingly enough.

I did, that’s because I went. You didn’t.

SURE you did r143.

I’ll show videos if you’d like. Everyone I knew went, it was hot but also great to know so many people there among thousands

[quote] I saw very few black, Asian or even Latino faces in the various crowds, interestingly enough.

I went and also noticed that.

R138 Half the world's citizens are "in danger." There are likely 20 small countries in Africa with violence, corruption, and human trafficking(yes slavery to this day) which make Honduras and Guatemala look like garden spots.

Funny, I never ever have read about the push to bring citizens from any of those countries of which no one even knows their names.

But, oh no! There are drug cartels and drug gang danger in Central America! Hello...Chicago.)

Asylum was never intended for those who want a better life. You may hate that, but it is true legally. You have to be able to prove that you are being persecuted by the government to be granted political asylum. It has never been about the standard of living, or for those starving. Why? Because if we set a precedent for taking starving people in, where do you draw the line?

You people mean well, but the majority in the US do not want us to be a revolving door to the suffering and the miserable. The inscription on the Statue of Liberty is no longer meant literally.

I put the “bro” troll on ignore. Doubt he’s American since he uses “bro” so much. Foreigners must think that’s how Americans talk.

[quote]Asylum was never intended for those who want a better life

You’re a blowhard jackass. None of what you posted is true.

Keep it together in the fam-il-LEEEEEE

R149 Every word is true and I challenge you to prove otherwise.

It’s a money making scam. And jackasses like r147 are hoodwinked into thinking that it’s about law and order

We are FAMILY

So, we here in the USofA are just supposed to spread our legs and let anyone in after some rally that a bunch of white people attended to feel better and invoked the "butBUTbut the children!" argument? I guess not.

And that's the nut of the problem in a nutshell, darling deploracunt.

Absofuckinglutely [bold]NOBODY, AND I MEAN NOBODY[/bold], is proposing to "just let anybody in.

This is about child abuse. If your response to child abuse is [bold]OPEN BORDERS, OPEN BORDERS[/bold], you're just another brain-damaged Trumpanzee.

The immigration system in the US is broken. Nobody is proposing open borders (I repeat, NOBODY), and our new version of the Gestapo is turning us overnight into a global pariah.

I agree, r154. All immigrants at this time, even with tons of cash and great resumes, go through lots of bureaucracy in order to gain a visa, I know personally. Hiding in the US is possible, but you still pay taxes. And if you ever very get caught in a crime, you are immediately in deep doodoo. Immigrants are mostly the most law abiding residents. these yahoos wouldn’t know an immigrants from Santa Claus

R154 I appreciate you responded to another list but the message that immigration helped build America, immigrants contribute to the US etc (all true of course) is coming out at these rallies, not just “don’t separate families.” So there is a push for more pro-immigrant policies more broadly.

You’re not being honest in my opinion if you’re acting as if that’s not the case, so you can just forget about the “open borders” straw man and acknowledge that this policy exists because more people want to enter the US than the US should ever sensibly take. It’s designed to dissuade attempts to immigrate and of course it should be abolished immediately, but “keep families together” isn’t the only message being put out there during this issue getting airtime. It’s possible to deplore this policy and at the same time support strict border controls (the same poster across multiple threads gives themselves away by not being able to spell one of the words in this sentence).

Was someone saying that the left doesn't want open borders?

Happening NOW. Protesters in Philadelphia, occupy ICE office.

Breaking News: Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, in a major reversal on immigration, agreed to tighten asylum policies to prevent her government's collapse

The worst thing isn’t even that this kind of atrocity is happening but that trolls will defend this ON THIS SITE! A fucking gay Gossip site! What he fuck fucked up world do we all live in??!!?

You do realize that is not real R159? It's a film. It's pretend. It's also begging for donations for legal representation for children. Where are all the do-gooder liberal attorneys out there? Why not representing these kids for free?

All of this, ALL OF IT, is just one big money grab for both the right AND the left. How anyone can't see this is beyond me.

I fucking realize that, idiot.

That's so strange, r158. You NEVER hear about Germans being racist.

r162 get your head out of your ass. Screeching 'racist' is ridiculous.

Ms Merkel admitted 1.5 million + immigrants WITHOUT allowing a vote in Parliament on it. A decision that profoundly changed German society was OUTSIDE the democratic process.

Imagine a US President, admitting 6 million immigrants (the equivalent by population) of mostly young men, mostly with a marginal education, to enter the US in one year, WITHOUT allowing Congress to vote on his/her decision.

Impeachment would follow immediately

r159 / r161 = bi polar mental case loon who only cares about this because she's Latina. If this was about any other issue she'd give a fuck!

Poland needs to colonize Germany NOW

No, it doesn’t.

Hi Dee at r165! Do you let your toothless cousins fuck you up the ass? Or are they only allowed inside your loose rancid snatch?

Glad Merkel is finally catching on. Of course it will be fifty years before Germany recovers from her idiotic mistake.

Thank you Trump. You may be an unpleasant person who none of us would want to be friends with, but you are doing what you promised and what I want.

America takes in more refugees and immigrants numerically than any other country, but as a percentage of our large population, we are WAY down on the list.

As a percentage of population, immigrants make up 14% of our population. Ahead of us are Sweden, Germany, Canada, Austria, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, Switzerland, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and many of the wealthier countries of the middle east. All together, more than 60 countries have more immigrants residing in their borders as a percentage of their population than we do in the US. Another 30 or so, mostly countries in Europe, are close to us in percentage (anywhere from 10-14% of their populations). This includes France, the UK, Norway, Belgium, Greece, etc. Spain, Denmark and Italy are lower - about 8%. for Italy and Denmark, and 9.5 for Spain. The really poor nations of the world have very few immigrants - which makes sense. Why would someone desperately poor emigrate to somewhere desperately poor?

Mexico is not particularly strict in regard to border control and immigration, as any American citizen who has walked over the border to Mexico knows first hand. (No one stops you, no one looks at your passport). . It's easy for Americans of a certain economic level to become Mexican citizens. What Mexico doesn't do (because it is a poor third or second-world nation) is give easy citizenship to poverty-stricken immigrants.

No, as I have grown older I have become largely indifferent to people and charity based causes. I simply don't get moved by anything enough to care.

R169 summed it up better than anyone.

r169, why do you want him to keep his mouth closed? His breath can't possibly be any worse than yours.

r172, stop agreeing with yourself.

Smell you. If you are American, you are a pretentious loser and dont know what being American is all about. Boston Tea Party ring a bell?

R73 writes the truth. A lot of so called progressives have never been to Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, or other countries unless it was to a resort or to tourist traps there.

R171, off yourself

R174 Good god, you are too stupid to use the Ignore-Dar feature, eh?

r178: Bitch, please. How many different browsers are you using, eh?

One.

I don't need to agree with myself or pat myself on the back. I got plenty of upvotes for my comment.

We don't do "upvotes" here, you ridiculous twat.

What is an upvote?

It's WW, r182

Keep your cheap shots for wanking off, r181

r183, shouldn't you be fingering yourself to Fox & Friends right now?

I’m jacking off to tucker Carlson as I type this

We believe you, r185.

As long as he’s not brown I’m hot for him, oh, and no fuerreners

I'd love to know who linked to us recently because I've seen several references to "upvotes" and DL being a "subreddit" and similar things. Definitely poor coordination going on at Troll Central.

Baffling how they always manage to be the first to comment, though. I guess the OPs must be starting threads specifically for the trolls.

R180 I want to clarify what I said in my post in order to assure you all that I did not come here recently from Reddit or any other site.

I used the term "upvote" because frankly that is what Wit & Wisdom has come to mean in this iteration of Datalounge. Formerly it was an honor above honors, and most of us were fortunate to receive one or two per year. Now, and I ask you to excuse what appears as boasting, I usually find that I have anywhere from 15 to 35 when I log in each day. Of course, I post in a very wide array of thread subjects---politics and Trump represents the lesser end of the conglomeration.

I used the term upvote because I feel it is just a bit less pompous than using W&Ws, which makes it sound like I said something incredibly profound and brilliant. No, I merely said something that perhaps 8 people agreed with.

And the idea that I have multiple accounts and browsers is hilarious. I can barely handle this one(with my thirty plus active threads.) It also seems a bit paranoid on the part of the accuser. Does he really believe that there are Dataloungers who are so invested in their ideology that they will turn some fun commenting on a gossipy board into a job?? Who would do that?

WHat do those things mean?

Now I know for sure that this delusional bitch at r189 is a deplorable troll.

This fool lies almost as much as Trump.

You were blocked, because you’re a trollerina, but this takes the cake. Fuck off and go back to some pepe the frog fuckface site

WW is nothing, absolutely nothing, like upvoting. It doesn’t even do anything that I can see on my tablet. It certainly doesn’t boost the post’s visability or whatever.

These trolls are wiley, gotta keep on your toes. Some are Ruskies without a clue, some actually do have a clue and some of the lingo/info down, and some are domestic trolls who only need to blend in on a gay website. All of them have the same basic agenda; disrupt, sow chaos, promote discord, obfuscate meanings, etc. Block every single one you see, on sight.

I "guaran dam tee" that you're full of shit and that you're a genuinely sick individual. Guess which one of us has the actual data to back up his guarantee?

What in the fuck are you talking about R192? It is exactly like upvoting. Or perhaps a better way to say it is that it connotes approval.

And I don't give a shit about your tablet, but on my laptop I see a constant tally of my W&Ws and for which comment they were given. I never said a fucking word about "visibility" whatever the fuck you meant by that.

And I don't give a cat's ass if you block me or not, I hope you do in fact. But I am not a Russian for crissakes.

Now, if you honestly think a Russian troll is so dedicated to learning DL traditions and lingo that he has learned bits and pieces going back to 2010, then god help you. You are terribly ill and need help.

Second that

I marched in the roasting fucking sun because torturing children is a bridge too fucking far for moi.

Keep families together in mexico!

Thank you

r195: Bitch, please. You're just making a goddamn fool of yourself.

r193 is absolutely right.

Does that Pepe the Frog website do upvotes?

Right now, the military is quietly discharging illegals who joined the military to jump start their citizenship process, so another front has been opened.

Gawd, the utterly frau-phobic, child-hating DL aunties shrieking about these future burdens to society just SLAYS me. So the breeders are OK so long as they're not white and their presence here further burdens the working class and the tax base. I take it that none of you nits has ever read "Camp of the Saints"? A more prescient work of "fiction" has never been written. And t's available free to download! More money left over for DT pound cake!

Another well-executed swindle by the Entertainment Industrial Complex. Meanwhile...

Native birth rates are falling, and more now than ten years ago. Without immigrants the US turns sclerotic

With automation, a rising population will be a burden. We don't need to keep increasing our population with jobs disappearing.

With a falling birth rate the aging population will become a tax burden, ask Italy and Japan

R195, the only thing you proved is that you have a lot of time on your hands. Moron. Not all trolls are Russian, which was the entire gist of R193. So you’re a longtime Datalounger, or talk like one? So fucking what. You’re still a Trump-loving fascist and deplorable, and you should be shunned everywhere, most of all in gay spaces like Datalounge. Now kindly fuck off, you compicit, conservative piece of shit.
