You can take a little consolation in the fact that grocery is a very low margin business and that HEB is actually decently good to their employees.


Hahaha everybody at the top is trying to be all coy talking about "immigration" as a whole and then the GOP id comes out with "gently caress Mexicans!" Perry and Rubio are gonna get flayed alive because at some point in their pasts they dared to take the position of "perhaps maybe immigrants people aren't pure evil?" and no amount of going hard right is gonna stop that. What is going to happen though is their bid to out-hate each other to flank the RINO accusation is going to be very toxic to the other candidates who will be forced to say or at least not disagree with some really nasty poo poo during the primaries.

Before I continue: Trump is an evil, vile liar merely begging for attention with his statements.

That said, when he claimed Mexico would pay for the law, I believe he meant through the 'car tax' he mentioned beforehand. Otherwise I don't know what the gently caress.

I'm a bit out of my wheelhouse here but, doesn't this have the potential to create additional incentives for illegal immigration as manufacturers pull out of Mexico and reduce the number of available jobs. All the while driving up the cost of certain cars for American consumers?

And all for something that probably wouldn't get built anyways?

Coulter is a professional troll and I dislike everything involving her, but she is definitely a target for misogyny and the way that people criticize her is pretty telling.

Like, she is an absolute monster who almost literally cannot open her mouth without spewing hateful, bigoted filth, but you can't have one discussion about her without somebody bringing up her appearance or saying things that are even more disgusting.

Holy crap is it that hard for you guys to get it through your thick kneejerk skulls that discussing someone's appearance, man or woman, has been a part of criticism since time immemorial? It has nothing to do with gender or misogyny and reacting to every discussion that way is super annoying and makes people complain about liberals. I'm not saying her appearance is important or anyone's appearance should be considered in a similar way as their actions or ideas but it is a part of who she is just as anyone's appearance is a part of who they are.

Is your point that republicans aren't allowed to call out casual misogyny, that misogyny is okay if the target is a republican, or you're accusing me personally of making that infographic - I can't quite sort it out.

It is considerably more common when it comes to women than it is for men, and there is a difference between "Mitt Romney looks like a goddamn robot" and "Coulter is too thin."

The revelations about his eating habits that just came out clearly make Christie Hedonism-bot.

Fiorina's clearly Mom if she's not Leela. Zoidberg has to be Jeb Bush. No one likes him, but he's just there.
