Today in my Spanish class a Maga blurted out:

Aliens sent north are being kept in hotels where they are doing some reprehensible stuff which I will not repeat here.

Now I wish I had asked for a link to such info. But in searching the Internet, I do find that in Aug many were put up in hotels. But I can find NO information other than that.

I can’t find anything beyond being in hotels last Aug.

Has anyone seen anything where the Texas illegally trafficked humans have caused any problems let alone the horrible things this idiot ascribed to them?

I don’t believe any of it. But before I call him out I wanted to be sure.

Said many migrants didn't particularly care for the food that was provided by the city and as a result, a lot was being wasted.

4. It's Good That American Born Citizens Are Not Committing Any Crimes

It must just be coincidence that so many of these mass murders are being committed by non-immigrants.

These days, if one asks a MAGAt the time of day, they'll try to turn it into an impromptu tRump rally....

A couple years ago the teacher who hates trump was married to a hard right Republican. When he died the teacher took a sharp left because all her friends are.

So originally it was okay to blurt BS. But time changed and now most of us are hard left. Like every old white Magat he’s watching his opinions fall like a thud which is what happened yesterday. The guy across from me winked at me when he blurted and we basically ignored him because we are in a class.

But I see him often and next time I want to be prepared.

I found the article in Washington Post.
It is one hotel where the immigrants don’t like eating cold lunch of thin vending machine sandwiches and meals ready to eat.

So they are sneaking in hot plates to cook hot meals. Which I understand they should not do.

Anyway pics of sandwiches being dumped.

Also rooms full of clutter they call trash but I’m not sure it all is.

But of course overstated to say the immigrants (who are actually Venezuelan refugees) are doing far worse things which I will not ascribe to them.

13. Lots of cultures see the right to cook and serve good meals as almost sacred.

Cajuns, Italians, some Asians and Mexicans come to mind. Vending machine and quick-stop cooler food has a bad reputation for making people sick, although many times while doing road service jobs, that was all I could find late at night.

We have frequent trouble in our local Nextdoor internet discussion group with wingnuts injecting their venom into the most non-political of discussions. They will find a way to inject politics into someone's post about a lost dog.

Recent discussions about problems with the US Postal Service brought them out in force, with some lady saying it should be privatized. I don't engage them much 'cause I don't want our cars vandalized.
