I believe you, I’m just curious to see a reasonably detailed report. As someone who prepares financial reports for a 501c3 myself, I’m geekily interested in such things. I’d prefer to drop this hijack. Apologies for perpetuating it in the first place. ---

The Episcopal, Methodist, and Lutheran churches also have their own aid organizations, and these are funded by independent donations. By this, I mean that the money is donated separately from the collection plate, although a church could pledge an amount if they wished, with the members’ or at least board’s permission. ---

It’s like Archie Bunker arguing with Gloria about gun fatalities. “I suppose you’d prefer they was pushed out of windows?” Like Archie Bunker, but real. 🤪 ---

This isn’t a fucking game, you inhuman asshole. _Real_ men, women and children were shipped to the east coast during freezing weather on Christmas Eve without notification to already understaffed and overworked caregivers as a political stunt to gather cheers from immoral jerks like you. ---

Someone on another board just suggested something I hadn’t thought of, and it’s that TPTB chose Ms. Harris’ home because her parents were both immigrants themselves. ---

> [@RitterSport](#): > > But, as a conservative, you only have bullshit arguments to defend your party’s horrendous policies, so I guess this is par for the course. eenerms just parrots back crap slogans she reads on Fox/etc and parrots it back without ever actually thinking through the flaws. I don’t think eenerms has ever had an original thought. If she’d spent 30 seconds thinking this one through all by herself, she would have seen how inane it was. I think this one is a whole new low for her. ---

If there was a ghost of a hint of a grain of truth for that being the reason, it would have been said outright from the very beginning. ---

And the Guy has the power to not put ‘babies’ into the uteruses of women who plan on having abortions, a thing He already knows. It’s almost like He wants women to have abortions . . . the other, far more likely, possibility I will not address. ---

I can’t help but wonder of they could have been accommodated at some place closer to, and other than, the Naval Observatory. Also, in what way(s) is Abbott supporting the NGO that you referenced? Did the Governor coordinate the transport _with_ this NGO or did Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid Network have to get this information _from_ an NGO that works at the border?
