“Services”

Haha! (In the bully laugh from Bart Simpson’s bully’s laugh.)

They are getting so old they can barely wipe their own asses.

Absolutely, immigrants in general do commit far less crime than citizens based on what I’ve read and seen.

Republicans would have us believe gangs are in control of the cities and all kinds of craziness… this is not what I’m suggesting.

But there are examples of gangs and criminals doing things in relatively recent news cycles…

I was saying Dems tend to look the other way, Repubs exaggerate the problem… we all know we need immigration reform, and Trump was speaking to the issue when he campaigned. Dems downplayed it or suggested it didn’t exist at all.

I work every day with immigrants. I’m conversationally fluent in Spanish because of it. I support immigration and reasonable paths to citizenship. But under our current system we have an underclass of people being exploited by the owner class. That’s not acceptable to me.

I understand and agree with your sentiment, but supermajorities of voters in dem repub and independent parties want criminal immigrants deported. That’s why so many independents went with Trump this go round. They don’t like just rounding up everyone for the purpose of achieving some record of deportations just for shits and giggles though.

Establishment dems were downplaying crime and immigration issues while establishment repubs and Trump were exaggerating them. Immigrant criminals and gangs and cartels are a real problem and people on the streets see it, especially immigrants in those same communities.

With immigration reform and doing things like giving daca and similar immigrants who have been here since they were babies a path to citizenship makes sense. And so does having refugee and asylum options, especially in places where US foreign policy has directly caused the hardships that have and are causing folks to flee their own country. That’s basically all of central and Latin American and the carribean and also countries in South America, Palestine, Ukraine. US foreign policy is beyond fucked up.

Our monkey brains are still fixed on tribalism and racism which makes us infight though, allowing the establishment politicians to pit us against each other while the uniparty continues to serve the corporate and donor class… and Israel.

Having a sub class of folks who are not citizens is definitely a problem. We need immigration reform. Having illegal immigrants who are willing to work for less than minimum wage is definitely a problem.

Even Bernie has said as much.

With immigration reform we can set the path for these folks to get citizenship which will raise wages for everyone.

I have zero faith in congress’ ability to do this though.

ICE definitely needs to be abolished. Open borders is probably a bad starting point though… but I like that idea more than having ICE.

Well duh, when you stop smelling that toxic smell it’s done. 🧑‍🍳😘

Correction: you have to use the non toxic glue but it still smells really weird about ten to fifteen minutes on broil I usually just don’t open the oven. The oven light stops working after every pizza party but I think it’s our electric connection the wire is a little bit frayed from rubbing up against the dog’s stainless steel water bowl all the time. Our kitchen design is the worst. Anyways, yea. Another pro tip keep your oven on all the time at minimum temperature to save money on heating during the winter.

All of our dogs that we’ve had have struggled in the winter months over the past dozen or so years, so we’ve been doing this every year since we figured it out to stop them from being too cold. They are always cuddled up by the oven when we come home and… nevermind I … Oh geeze, so many memories :-(

We have a pizza stone, clay stone you preheat… we don’t make a lot of homemade pizza but we have pizza parties every now and again… cost more than 1 per pizza though but when everybody makes it together it’s fun…. You get one or two really good pizzas and then one or two really awful pizzas though unless you use a consistent recipe if you’re making homemade dough you need to do it the day before…. There are some good instant dough recipes though but day before doughs are always better generally

Broil 45 minutes, no more glue
