What if the bussed politicians there?
You want a stunt? Massachusetts police should impound the planes and arrest the pilots for human trafficking. And issue a warrant for DeSantis’ arrest.
I think it’s the other way around: as we don’t have any DNA samples to work with, we must assume that mermaids are mammals because they have breasts, as mammary glands are organs both unique to mammals and shared by all of them.
Poutering, maybe?
Exactly. Further, transporting people across state lines might make it federal, and IANAL but ISTM that transporting people across state lines while lying to them about why they are being transported might be kidnapping or similar.
I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Thanks. I think…
But under what legal authority can DeSantis (or Abbott) just transport what could technically be called criminals across the country and just dump them with no legal handoff? Can I, as governor of, say, Washington, send any arrested but not prosecuted criminal to Florida and dump them on a street corner in Tallahassee? Sounds good - solves my crime problem.
This has to be illegal, right?
Any mermaid who’s going to be in a Disney movie needs to wear a bra.
I’m in favor of busing a few politicians to Venezuela and El Salvador. You can probably guess which ones.
We’re gonna need a bigger bus.
You are asking this of Republicans? The party of, “but what if we didn’t?”
Not true.
As I have remarked in the past, you can be female and topless in a Disney movie. But the only way you can be topless and have nipples is if you’re EVIL. (and even then, your nipples will not be pink or brown, but blue or green) Ursula (although not your classic example of a mermaid, having that octopoid lower half) would definitely qualify, if she wanted.
Topless centaurs in Fantasia. No nipples
Topless harpies in Hell from Fantasia
Topless Fire Maidens in Hell from Fantasia
Wow-- great research. And documentation, too.
What about navels? Do mermaids even have navels? I remember when Walt was alive, he wouldn’t let Annette show her navel in the beach movies. Exposure of the female navel is the slippery slope down which Western Civilization slides into the cesspool of no return. Nobody cares about male navels.
Thanks. I’m very motivated in researching this topic. That’s why I only dated evil creatures from Disney movies.
Did any of these people who were transported by DeSantis get an abortion?
If so, DeSantis should be sued by Texas state law for facilitating it.
The immigrants claim they are Venezuelans and came from Texas. Are Texas and Florida sharing immigrants now?
Blake Masters says all generals should be fired because they’re woke and left-wing losers.
We’re told that American voters of Hispanic heritage have been flocking to the GOP in droves.
I can’t help wondering if these examples of GOP governors using Spanish-speaking people as props, to be carted around like cattle for propaganda purposes, are seen as admirable by those Latino-American voters.
There are some Latino-Americans who are descendents of Spanish settlers who were living in what is now the U.S. before there was a U.S. There are others who are immigrants of more recent vintages who see many of the later immigrants as bringing a great deal of the problems of Latin America with them, and don’t feel like the U.S. should have to deal with them. There are some who immigrated legally - and it’s a long line - and have a great deal of disdain for the “linecutters” who crossed without authorization or for those they consider “fake” refugees or asylees.
A lot of Latinos will continue to vote Republican for social or religious reasons, and don’t feel that Republican propaganda really affects their lives, at least not as much as what they see as an overly tolerant social culture or oppressive regulations keeping them from getting ahead by a dint of hard work.
All of which is to say that it’s hard to generalize about a group that encompasses my cousin-in-law who immigrated legally from Argentina in the 70s, one of my best friends growing up whose parents came here from Spain well before he was born, and the woman who cleans for us who arrived without papers and was legalized by the Reagan amnesty.
Latinos are large, and contain multitudes.
