She wanted to get punched in the face by the jackbooted thugs trying to stop all those peaceful tourists from entering the building, no doubt.
“Everybody’s got a plan until they get punched in the face.”
Hey. She had a plan. Nobody said it was a good plan.
Which is why her plan was so clever!
- Get punched in the face.
- ???
- Profit!
Really, unless you are Mike Tyson that’s kind of a weak plan.
Actually, her plan is reasonably sound for what she wanted to achieve.
- Get punched in the face.
- Get a lot of free media coverage on her.
- Gain notoriety.
That’s apparently profit to her.
Of course, we can’t take her up on the offer because the Biden Administration would charge us with assault and battery.
Snerk.
What can I say about this besides holy shit?
Mocking a man’s dead son is…well, I can’t say a new low for the GOP, but a standard low for them? This poor man-my heart aches for him. These “Christian” *ssholes.
Republicans are mad at the Catholic Church for (checks notes) giving blankets to refugees.
I’m, wow. Just when you think there’s nothing they could do that would shock you, boom.
So let me get this straight - handing out blankets and care bags is facilitating the drug cartels? Those migrants have already arrived. What, do they think migrants are sitting back in Guatemala thinking, "You know, hiking to the US through Mexico and paying hundreds of dollars I don’t have and risking violence from traffickers and possibly rape is not a very attractive plan, but just think, if I make it to America, I might get one of those nifty swag bags that charities are handing out. I’m in! "
You wanna cut down on human trafficking? The best way is to reform immigration the that human trafficking is unnecessary
I’m surprised they admitted that slavery was kind of bad.

Fox News aired a story where a “migrant” was beaten up while Sean Hannity laughed. It was later determined that the man was a resident of NY, and to give them minor credit they did admit the mistake. But not for condoning vigilantism.
The article says conservative, but of course that’s more a to-may-to, to-mah-to thing when it comes to the pubbies.
Climate scientist awarded more than $1 million in a lawsuit against conservative writers who defamed his work
A jury has awarded climate scientist Michael Mann more than $1 million in a defamation lawsuit he brought against a former scholar and a media personality who lampooned Mann’s work.
The legal battle has been ongoing for more than a decade. Mann initially filed a lawsuit in 2012, after Rand Simberg, a former scholar for the Competitive Enterprise Institute, and Mark Steyn, a TV and radio personality who wrote for the National Review, wrote blog posts ridiculing Mann’s scientific research that warned of rising temperatures, and compared him to Jerry Sandusky, the former Pennsylvania State football coach who was convicted of child molestation.
“Mann could be said to be the Jerry Sandusky of climate science, except that instead of molesting children, he has molested and tortured data in the service of politicized science that could have dire economic consequences for the nation and planet,” Steyn and Simberg wrote. Steyn and Simberg also ridiculed Mann’s research on the “Hockey Stick” chart that illustrated the dramatic rise in average global temperature since pre-industrial times.
A jury in the Washington, DC, Superior Court civil case awarded Mann $1 million in punitive damages and a dollar from each defendant in compensatory damages.
Yeah, that one looks like a slam-dunk defamation case.
I have to wonder about the token compensatory damages, though. First, that seems to be indicating that they thought that the damage to Mann’s reputation had no value. Second, aren’t punitive damages usually scaled to the compensatory damages?
