Famed documarian Ken Burns compares Martha's Vineyard migrant flights to the HOLOCAUST

Has a new documentary out about the Holocaust called the move 'straight out of the authoritarian playbook' 'What they're doing is simply wrong. It's unAmerican. It's reckless,' he said

Why don't they want migrants in Martha's Vineyard? Didn't MV vote over 80% for Biden? Also, didn't MV vote to become a Sanctuary? They should be fine with this, given their voting record.

The issue is taking people captive, packing them up and shipping them places as though they were cattle, without rights or personal agency. It 's just one step removed from putting them into boxcars and shipping them off to a camp. In that sense it's perfectly comparable.

If Trump had succeeded in getting a second term (the one he would have made into a lifetime appointment), concentration camps would have been an eventual development.

Any plans to address the actual SUBJECT, thread-sliding troll at r5? Oh - that's right - you can't, so you're pathetically trying to distract.

I'll put the question to you: Why is it not ok to fly migrants into Martha's Vineyard? Obama flew them around the country. Biden sent 70 planes of migrants to Florida in the dead of night. He also sent them to Westchester and to Tennessee, again in the dead of night. He is flying them around the country nearly every night.

What's wrong with sending them to a beautiful, peaceful idyll like Martha's Vineyard? I'm happy for the migrants. Its a lovely place for them.

"Finally a happy story for once: Outbursts of irrepressible joy erupted throughout the exclusive island community of Martha's Vineyard last night.

For hundreds of years Martha's Vineyard had suffered from the soul-crushing effects of its own whiteness. Island residents understood there was only one cure: they badly needed Diversity - in fact they often said so - but despite their very best efforts over many years, Diversity never came to Martha's Vineyard. It was tragic."

For the idiot who rants about Obama flying migrants around, please just stop. Only fools think Obama dropped these people off on the street. They were taken to facilities where there was space. The alternative is to free them into the public, since they are entitled by law to a day in court.

In reference to r28, I am British. Also I made a single comment on the Bridget Fonda thread noting that I thought her transformation seemed extra weird. Yes I used the word "dark". I also wondered if her husband's openly proclaimed Satanism was contributing to her bizarre transformation. Its r68 in this thread. I stand by my comment and by every comment I've made.

r28 is trying to slide the thread by talking about things OTHER than the fact that Martha's Vineyard is squealing like stuck pigs over FIFTY Venezuelans and so have exposed themselves as incredibly racist.

It amazes me to think there are those here who think it's better for these migrants to be in El Paso, rather than Martha's Vineyard.

The migrants should be shipped to more upscale Democrat voting communities. They'll be welcomed there and cared for.

Who is this foreign fool who keeps saying that posters who disagree with them are trying to “slide the thread” and how many translation apps has his original language been run through to get that mess? I’ve read instruction manuals translated from Chinese which sound more natural.

The one thing that would make me mad if I were a Floridian Republican who didn’t care about the innate cruelty of it all is that DeSantis used $12 million dollars of the state’s money to fly people from Texas to Massachusetts. If so many thousands of migrants are being dumped in Florida, like many here have said, why didn’t he round up some of the ones in his own state if they are such a problem?

What's wrong with any of that, r59? (And no, r61, I am not an AI bot.)

Yes. I am British but my mother was American, and I do 'globetrot' because that is part of my job. I globetrotted as a child, and was sent to school in Switzerland before going back to England. My father was English, part raised in Bermuda. He met my mother, an American whose family had a house in Bermuda. Your reference to me claiming to "bumped into every celebrity" I cannot understand unless you are referring to my comment on the Lake Waraumaug estate thread. Yes, my Bermudian cousins had a house in Washington, CT, and yes, that's where we always went when in the USA, and yes, I know the family selling that house. Where else have I claimed to have "bumped into" anyone? I worked in magazines for 25 years, so I have met lots of people, but I don't EVER remember saying anything about it here.

In other words, Die in a Grease Fire, lying r59.
