With all of those Christmas movies you produce, you're probably running out of ideas for new plots.
So how about some heartwarming films about Republicans bussing ill-clothed, penniless immigrants to cold climes on Christmas Eve?
Nuthin' says "good Christian values" like people who, given the chance, would have thrown Baby Jesus into the nearest snowbank - and cheered as he suffered and died from the cold.

They probably can't find an immigrant around there for hundreds of miles.

At the Crown Center complex.
not far from one of my favorite places to window shop during Christmas...
The Country Club Plaza
I grew up on the Kansas side... in the suburbs.

(17,990 posts)Try rural western North Carolina. Many work, or at least did work, in the construction industry down there, plus various services. Lots of retirement homes, second homes, etc. in the area. Michael Jordan owns or did own a house in one of the wealthy, gated communities over in Avery County.
When we lived down there years ago, a local friend of mine hooked me up with some recent immigrants who ran a land clearing business with family and friends. Did fantastic work for us, paid them a fair wage + lunch for a couple of days. they were the only ones I could find to take the work, thus the referral. Seems some have become permanent residents, their kids filling out the local high school soccer teams. I'm sure it hasn't been easy for them in unwashed, Trumpmurka, but they're making a go of it.

If migrants were bussed to my state, Minnesota, they would be immediately taken in and given food, shelter, help and kindness by many agencies, organizations and churches, as was done at Martha's Vineyard in MA last summer. The more this performative assholery occurs, the worse the GOP looks.
Of course the MAGAts love to see these poor folks shuttled around like cattle because to them, immigrants (at least the non-white ones) aren't actually people, just parasites who don't deserve to be Americans, so they should be treated like some invasive species of animal. But the rest of us remember that there was once, not all that long ago, another government that shipped people off in cattle cars...

(8,856 posts)Damn good post. War in Christmas my ass. The damn war is shitting on Jesus teachings from the party of Gawd. But they wear their cross with pride like Keli MAGAninny. And give sermons at KKKlan gatherings like Boo Boo Bert with a gun strap on.

(111,397 posts)since those people were just dumped and I doubt many of them were wearing cold weather clothing.
The DOJ needs to step in with and injunction, at the very least. This has gone beyond a stupid stunt to p-lay to the heartless sociopaths that make up the GQP. This has gotten dangerous.
We all know damned well no one was in residence at the VP's house, she was home with her family.
Sociopaths don't stop until they are stopped. It's time. We know what the fuck is the matter with them. We don't know what the guck is the matter with the DOJ.

(512 posts)Theyre beginning to look a lot like fascists
Ev'rywhere you go;
Contract prison holding pens, are filling once again
With Muslims, Blacks and Mexicanos.
Theyre beginning to look a lot like fascists
Nazis are restored,
But the ugliestiest sight to see is the New Confederacy
On your own front door.
A pair of paratroop boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
Anyone who talks and will go for a walk
and never be heard from again;
And evangelists can hardly wait for school prayer to start again.
Theyre beginning to look a lot like fascists
Ev'rywhere you go;
There's no free speech in the Trump Hotel, or in the park as well,
Their cameras see no matter where you go.
Theyre beginning to look a lot like fascists;
Soon the raids will start,
But the thing that makes them run is our Constitution
It lives within our hearts.
