You know just how long 2018 has been? You know how long?
Did you even remember there was an Olympic games this year? Because I didn’t. I thought oh, last year. No. There was a winter Olympics in Korea and I forgot about it.
You know how long this year has been? The tide pod thing happened in January of this year
Once again, something is twisted to try to fit it into the desired narrative.
No. The Israelites, led by Moses, were fleeing captivity from Egypt, not from their own country. They were not citizens of Egypt, and had been held there as slaves for over 200 years, and perhaps for more than 400 years. They begged to be allowed to go, but the Pharoah refused. They were not citizens of the country they left; they were slaves, held against their will, worked to death, and treated very harshly.
When they were allowed to go, unlike the Honduran “caravan,” they did not march with the flags of the country they left carried proudly in the forefront. And, when they first reached their “promised Land,” they were not allowed to go into it because they did not follow the required procedures and rules. Consequently, they were forced to wander in the desert for 40 years.
The current “caravan” has not followed the procedure for admission to the place they seek to go, either. Like the Israelites, they must be denied admission.
Careful of the stories you use and the metaphors you attempt to draw. Sometimes, they just can’t hold water, and refuse to be twisted and squeezed into the desired narrative.
By the way, there hasn’t been any parting of seas or pillar of fire that I’ve heard reported, and with all the financial and logistical help they’re getting from their handlers and masters, there probably won’t be any manna, either.
HEY GUISE I DON’T BELEIVE UR RELIGION AND I THINK UR STUPID FOR BELEEVING IN IT BUT HERES A TOTALLY DISTORTED STORY FROM UR BIBLE SO HA HA GOD SAYS YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT I WANT CHECKMAET SKY BUDDY BELEEVERS
Addendum: Egypt is right next to Israel. International law requires you to take refuge in the first safe country you come across, which from Honduras is not The US.
Also they were on their own after the fled, They didn’t come into another country because they want job opportunities- they were fleeing slavery
I have a friend who has a child, and their child is always sick. Always crying. Just generally, not a very happy wee lamb. Every other day she’ll come to me, complaining how awful it is to have a Difficult Child. And at first I made all the right sympathetic noises, I consoled her, I asked how I could help.
And then her kid gets allergy testing done, and several allergies are confirmed, and I think great! This is likely why they are always upset and ill! Maybe now they can get better!
And my friend… does not stop exposing them to the allergies.
“But they’re allergic to wheat,” I say, “and milk, and you’re still giving them those things.”
“Oh but they’re only minor allergies, not like, anything dangerous.”
“But that’s not… that’s not how that works,” I say, trying to be helpful, as I explain that even low level inflammation can be extremely detrimental in the long term, and extremely painful to deal with and how exposure therapy doesn’t always work. So of course he’s always sick and always crying. Of course he is.
And she rolls her eyes and says, “Look, I know you think you know a lot about health. But you’re not a parent, so I can’t expect you to understand.”
Because apparently upon the benediction of motherhood, the sacred knowledge of the universe is imparted to you the moment the umbilical cord is cut. Because apparently someone who is sick all the time, wouldn’t be able to understand. Except of course I don’t understand her. I understand her child. And what it’s like to be ignored, and hurt, and abused. And sick.
And suddenly you realize, maybe your friend is not your friend in the way you thought they were. And maybe, likely, probably, they shouldn’t be a parent.
Oh my God. How the hell does anyone do this? Your kid is always sick, you find out they have allergies… you don’t immediately cut that food out of their diet?
Omg if I knew anyone like that I’d smack the shit out of them. As someone who’s had crohn’s disease for almost twenty years, I can personally attest to the fact that the body can be very sensitive to “minor” things, and that inflammation–no matter how localized it may be–WREAKS HAVOC on the ENTIRE body.
it really feels like the economist is written by the ghosts of british industrialists wearing pith helmets and drinking port
if i saw that manlet on the street id piss in his tea
The Economist shills for state directed globalism that disempowers common people and business in the name of bureaucracy, but no, lets blame tatoos and beards for undoing civilization.
“I say, Reginald the commoners are looking highly ribald today with their unruly facial hair and pagan skin markings!”
As much as the Kavanaugh thing was a complete and total disgrace, people need to stop complaining about the Senate overrepresenting smaller states when that’s the whole freaking point of the Senate. If y’all want to reform Congress, a better idea is to increase the size of the House, which they haven’t updated since 1910 and uhh we’ve grown a lot since then
