so essentially "I'm a complete moron who can't handle discussions. I participate only in bad faith, or I have an iq of about 85". Ok. You don'tt sound remotely Texan, btw, except for your "views". I know texans and you do not seem like a Texan. You're very generic. Getting indicted soon?

I just directly addressed that. So did the person you're referring to, in a reply to me. I wasn't sure what he meant so I asked about it.

I understand rhetorical devices are difficult for some people. Calling it a "lie" is like someone watching Monty Python and not understanding sarcasm. It reminds me of trying to explain things like that to kids in 4th grade. What they said, if you can't read it yourself for some reason, was

See, I added that part as absurdist contrast to the sensational and terrifying news coverage of immigrants.

If you can find any information that demonstrates that "Eric L. Sampson" is in fact not a natural born US Citizen, that would be informative. As it is, it's reasonable to assume that he in fact is and this non-literal reference was totally lost on you. Are you a native English speaker?

"lied about it" is a bit dramatic. I wasn't sure and confirmed that it was to draw a contrast between the hyperventilating "omg an immigrant" reporting you prefer and articles about regular ol' Americans killing people. It's normal for conservatives to see things in drastic black & white, though, so not surprising that was your reaction.

Definitely. Back when I used FB and Twitter I learned that reporting is entirely useless. You just end up with some automated message about how they reviewed it and it "didn't violate their community standards" with some lame verbiage like "we realize this isn't the outcome you were looking for", regardless of how ridiculously blatant whatever you reported was. On the flip side, I was banned for clearly misinterpreted or brigaded comments, and then an appeal just gives you the inverse where they reviewed it and whatever you posted was definitely terrible and they "realize this isn't the outcome you were looking for".

where did the "notorious American and social security card-carrying U.S. citizen" part come from? It doesn't seem like a phrase that would be in an NBC article.

For some reason "immigrant assaults woman" is 'conservative' news, but "alabama pastor molests 10 kids" doesn't garner a mention. I wonder what that means, could it be that it's an anti-immigrant agenda and nothing to do with protecting innocent people?

Uh, what? My brain is "on America" because I said we should work on drug abuse and overdose prevention and treat mental conditions, plus the conditions that make people engage in antisocial behavior? Or that I don't want to go into a restroom with someone passed out on fentanyl?

I'd add, maybe you haven't lived in urban areas with drug problems and seen this personally, or maybe you just want to be a Redditor and insult people. Idk. I had a gf who worked at a Starbucks in downtown Denver and they regularly had to figure out wtf to do with a person who had been in the bathroom for an hour and a half, and it usually turned out to be someone who had ODed on opiates. That was 10 years ago. It's worse now.

As far as restrooms specifically, we need to solve a few other issues to make that one work. Drug abuse, antisocial behavior, and mental issues. If we have public restrooms but someone has smashed the fixtures, smeared shit on the walls or is passed out in there from an opiate overdose, it’s not actually better than not having a restroom.

They are, that’s what the bill does.

That’s the danger of just reading headlines, especially tripe posted from Fox News on a community like this. The issue is the bill includes undocumented immigrants. It’s not exclusively for them.

Cool, there’s always music at El Chapult… oh.
