Not truthiness, just truth.

Yeah well perhaps they should have figured out what a border is first. Because their parents broke the law by Crossing ours and better than spend the time in these facilities than a prison with grown adults who made the human traffickers not even their parents

Actually, let me enlighten you.

These people in detention have not committed a crime. - I don’t mean that in a moral or a figurative sense. I mean literally. It is NOT a crime to ask for asylum. - These people didn’t jump a fence, they didn’t sneak into the backyard. They are knocking on the front door and saying “People are trying to kill me in my home country, will you let me in?” - Now, I didn’t fall off the turnip truck. Some of these people are lying. That’s why you have a hearing. And because they might wander off, these people are held in detention until the hearing. - This hearing is NOT in a criminal court. It’s in an immigration court. Because these people have not committed a crime. - Immigration court is not like criminal court. You don’t have a right to an attorney. - So these people are waiting around, separated from their children, with no attorney, until they get a hearing. - In 2015, the median wait for an immigration hearing was 404 days. - Here’s where it gets even more twisted. If people plead guilty to asylum fraud, they get their kids back and get deported. - So these people knock on the front door, which is perfectly legal, and we take their kids, and tell them the quickest way to get the kids back is to confess to fraud. - If someone committed a crime (ie. shoplifting, armed robbery, murder) and you took their kids away to make them confess, that confession would be thrown out. - But these confessions are lawful, because this isn’t criminal court. - Because these people haven’t committed a crime. - Now some people think that if we make it so unpleasant for these people, they will stop trying to cross the border. - But the message this sends isn’t “Go Home.” The message it sends is “Sneak in.” - If they go home, they think they will be murdered. If they request asylum, they are separated from their children. - If they sneak in successfully, they’re safe. If they sneak in and get caught, they are no worse off than if they sought asylum legally. - And remember, these people haven’t committed a crime.

maybe your ancestors should’ve learned what a border was and not crossed mexico’s. oops.

you’re in a library room so long that the motion sensors think the room is empty so it turns the lights off on you

I know this is totally off topic for this blog but since I have a lot of different followers from different countries - what do you typically have for breakfast?

I’m from Sweden and this is my very inspiring breakfast on crisp bread, coffee and banana.

I’m from the American Midwest, and it really varies. If I’m eating a “real breakfast,” which usually only happens when I meet my dad at a diner to catch up on weekends, I like omelettes of different kinds. The last one I had was chicken, cheese, and tomato. Omelettes usually come with hash browns (on which I put hot sauce. Cholula>Tapatio>Tabasco) and either toast (good with jelly) or biscuits (the American kind, which is absolutely worth the upcharge to add country gravy)

I don’t usually eat like that, though. Most mornings I just eat whatever happens to sound good. So far today all I’ve eaten is a strawberry popsicle haha

Your breakfast looks really good! Is that cheese and cucumber?

captaincrusher

All of that sounds delicious! In my culture we rarely eat cooked stuff for breakfast, like omelettes or pancakes, so that in itself is an interesting concept for me! When I’m “feeling American”, once in a blue moon, I’ll have some waffles.

It’s indeed cheese and cucumber and one poor banana. I’m bad at eating vegetables and fruit, so if I have this I squeeze in some of both daily. I’m adding hash browns to stuff I have to google now (Along with suman, hagelslag and clif bar). And biscuits… with gravy?

East Coast American here – basically grew up on cereal. I’ve since swapped the Cinnamon Toast Crunch for healthier bran or rice flakes with some nuts and milk or yogurt for protein. In winter I’ll sometimes whip up some quick-cook oatmeal with sliced banana or occasionally a soft-boiled egg with toast. (I think the latter is my parents’ influence – soft-boiled eggs are more of a European thing and I really don’t know a lot of Americans who do boiled eggs with toast soldiers.) Lots of the Americans I know skip breakfast too.

Soft boiled eggs with toast soldier is my go to comfort food. My dads mom is Scottish and she sort of passed it along. Anyway

Southern american here. A typical breakfast I’d cook for myself would be fried eggs with grits, bacon and toast. Leave the yolk runny and then cut it cup into the grits and mix them. Soooo delicious

itsnotso-bad

American (coastal) South here, grits are definitely a staple, some type of meat (sausage, bacon, sometimes ham), eggs scrambled or fried, toast or (American) biscuits sometimes with gravy, pancakes or waffles, sometimes French toast, it just depends. That’s certainly not an every day thing unless you’re a woman in your 60s+ (because that was expected of a wife then). My great grandmother would get up at 5 in the morning every day to make my great grandfather scratch made biscuits, eggs, and some type of meat. Also breakfast casseroles are big here.

I would say much more typically I’ll have a breakfast sandwich (eggs, cheese, optional meat, on some type of bread) or some yogurt with fruit.

man, teenaged girls aren’t allowed to have a genuine interest in anything without being ridiculed for it. if a girl likes ugg boots and starbucks she’s stupid and stereotypical, but if she likes combat boots and obscure coffee houses she’s a hipster wannabe and is trying too hard. if a girl listens to boy bands and other popular artists she’s a dumb follower, if she reads comics or plays video games she’s a poser/fake geek girl, if she likes sex she’s a slut but if she doesn’t like sex she’s a prude, if she wears makeup she’s fake but if she doesn’t wear makeup she’s a slob, if she has low self-esteem she needs to learn to love herself but if she has high self-esteem she’s overconfident and vain, if she’s interested in politics she’s a crazy social justice warrior but if she prefers to stay out of social matters she’s a dumb airhead. girls are literally mocked for every single thing they like or do, no matter what those things are, and i’m really really sick of it.

But ugg boots are made with cruel practices and shouldn't be worn anyway.

I’d like to go vote now. woman: what’s your name? attorney general woman: you don’t have to answer that. go ahead and vote.
