When Gulliver finally returns, he chooses to live with his family’s horses rather than his family.

Judge Rufe is fed up, and has reminded the Trump administration that "forthwith" means FORTHWITH. In other words, when she ordered them on Monday to restore all historical panels to the President's House site in Philadelphia, it better get done by Friday.

Your are saying “there would still be fat people so we need to get over our prejudices” but they are hearing “the drugs don’t or shouldn’t work“ because the point of the drugs to them is the elimination of gross looking fat people.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

I think he is bemoaning the deeply rooted and vibrant Mexican American culture in South Texas. He fears the millions of brown people around him. He started pulling stunts on the border as soon as he got into Boca Chica. He is deeply ignorant about Tejanos, but he is too stupid to be educated.

When ICE shot Alex Pretti ten times, he was trying to defend a woman who had been pepper sprayed & violently shoved.
He was trying to help his fellow human.
She was an EMT, and when she saw he had been shot, she tried to help him.
ICE wouldn’t let her.
They hate the helpers.
