Ongoing US GOP Debacle Thread: Seditious Republicans march toward authoritarianism

The moron in the WH is threatening to close the US/Mexico border as well cutting off ALL aid to El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.

If you could invent the worst possible things to do to create MORE illegal migration, you couldn't do more than this.

His people will lap it up. They gotta keep those scary brown people out.

BTW, we would lose over $1.5Billion/day in trade revenue by closing the border. By keeping this in place, tens of thousands of US jobs will be lost.
 
Jaywalkers are domestic terrorists on our surface streets.

Me ? I can walk or bike to my office if I so choose, whic I have done on occasion. I've got three elementary schools and a middle school within 1.5 miles of my house that the school system won't send my kids to. Yet, I'm the problem because I think people should cross at the lights.

Ah yes, Cotton fighting the good fight while the FBI arrested dozens of white nationalists for conspiracy to commit violent acts in his home state of Arkansas recently:

Maybe this guy should focus on his home state where white nationalism is thriving? Nah, gotta get the boogeyman out to get the poor desperate politicians in the GOP.

Masters of projection.

fun fact, jaywalking laws were largely a creation of the auto industry to sell more cars.

One was an attempt to shape news coverage of car accidents. The National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, an industry group, established a free wire service for newspapers: Reporters could send in the basic details of a traffic accident and would get in return a complete article to print the next day. These articles, printed widely, shifted the blame for accidents to pedestrians — signaling that following these new laws was important.

...

Auto campaigners lobbied police to publicly shame transgressors by whistling or shouting at them — and even carrying women back to the sidewalk — instead of quietly reprimanding or fining them. They staged safety campaigns in which actors dressed in 19th-century garb, or as clowns, were hired to cross the street illegally, signifying that the practice was outdated and foolish. In a 1924 New York safety campaign, a clown was marched in front of a slow-moving Model T and rammed repeatedly.

This strategy also explains the name that was given to crossing illegally on foot: jaywalking. During this era, the word "jay" meant something like "rube" or "hick" — a person from the sticks, who didn't know how to behave in a city. So pro-auto groups promoted use of the word "jay walker" as someone who didn't know how to walk in a city, threatening public safety.

my bad. Didn't know Biff already knew that and was just a bootlicker or cop.
 
So those of you who are anti-jaywalking laws, or pro-death, do you also think we should take the yellow lines off the pavement ?
 
He's definitely bootlicking over on the chat thread. Except they're boat shoes he's licking.
