“‘Entitled Illegal Immigrants Send Mayor Long List of Demands: 'Unlimited Showers, Fresh Food'
Dozens of illegal immigrants in Denver issued a lengthy list of demands that they say must be met before they agreed to leave the encampments and move to shelters funded by the city.
The group of illegal aliens sent a list of 13 demands to Democrat Mayor Mike Johnston on Wednesday which include, access to a free immigration lawyer, fresh food, and unlimited showers.
The issue arose after Johnston petitioned to have the group moved to more permanent shelters.”

It's better than Letters to Penthouse were as a teenager.
I so hope Liberals eventually see nothing but a decline in standard of living and an increase in violence right at their doorstep.
A pleasure ! Which I had the money and guys to egg it on and refocus people to the right places. I try subtly but pesky comments on social media probably don't catch too much attention. Well - there were a few that got a few 100 likes/thumbs up etc and hopefully those inspired someone to Make Blue Cities Great Again.

These folks didn't come up with their "list of demands" all by their lonesomes. Somebody's coaching them to do it.
They're probably also being told to...go ahead and vote, despite the indignant denials by a bunch of our resident " " experts " " here.

Yep, I’m sure a couple money hungry lawyers with no scruples (sent by Biden) have a hand in this.

Pulitzer-prize winning, New York Times bestselling author Anne Applebaum has a book coming out this July, Autocracy, Inc., clearly written with you two in mind.
Among other things, Applebaum writes about "the fire hose of falsehoods" that today's autocrats now employ, no longer trying to persuade citizens that what's true is false but rather to "lie constantly, blatantly, obviously," never offering counterarguments when confronted with the exposure of their lies, just respond with more lies until listeners raise their arms in the air in defeat and give up on any hope of becoming an informed citizenry in a working democracy.
Sounds like the Trump Cult, right? Make people mistrust the media (fake news), overwhelm them with contradictory information (inject disinfectant), shame them for disagreeing (Jews who don't vote for Trump should be ashamed of themselves).
LIE: Illegal immigrants vote democrat and receive all their freebies.
EXPOSING THE LIE: There's no evidence illegal immigrants vote. Study after study and voluminous statistics prove they do not vote.
LIE: They cheat to vote.
EXPOSING THE LIE: The last thing immigrants want to do is draw attention to themselves or risk permanent deportation.
LIE: Democrats coach them, tell them to vote illegally.
EXPOSING THE LIE: There isn't a single instance of democrats encouraging immigrants to vote.
LIE: Intuitively, we know they do.
And on and on: the firehose of falsehoods. Or, if you prefer: “Flooding the zone with sh1t”
The Orange Turd, an autocrat wannabe, has turned republicans' brains to mush and it's evident here everyday ("...liberals would feel differently about a lot of things if only they had to live in deep blue areas").
Mush.

Lay off the Koolaid folks. You are really making yourselves sound ignorant. You keep going back to the same well of right wing lies and propaganda and it's not a good look.

“Though noncitizens can vote in few local elections, GOP goes big to make it illegal
Noncitizens can’t vote in federal or state races, but some want to codify laws.”

“Where noncitizens vote
In 16 cities and towns in California, Maryland and Vermont (along with the District of Columbia), noncitizens are allowed to vote in some local elections, such as for school board or city council. Voters in Santa Ana, California, will decide in November whether to allow noncitizens to vote in citywide elections.”

'Looking good' ain't a right-wing priority. The the goal is to 'flood the zone with shit', triggering folks into mud-wrestling.
When they succeed they can then say... "Hey, you ain't clean. You wrassle in mud.'

"During a Gish gallop, a debater confronts an opponent with a rapid series of many specious arguments, half-truths, misrepresentations, and outright lies in a short space of time, which makes it impossible for the opponent to refute all of them within the format of a formal debate.[3][4] Each point raised by the Gish galloper takes considerably more time to refute or fact-check than it did to state in the first place, which is known online as Brandolini's law.[5] The technique wastes an opponent's time and may cast doubt on the opponent's debating ability for an audience unfamiliar with the technique, especially if no independent fact-checking is involved or if the audience has limited knowledge of the topics.[6]"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gallop
