    Republican Jesus said, “Gather the travelers in need of hospitality, then kick the door in and send them all to a gulag in El Salvador. Also cut taxes for the people who already own everything. Maybe kick a puppy while you’re at it. Good way to start the day.”

      Don’t forget to starve the destitute children and let work set them free.

      This is the word of the Lord.

        Raise Temples for consistency with Nazis. Kidding, they’re definitely hitting Catholics and anyone with Spanish services first.

      I’m thinking mosques and Catholic churches in the you-know-why-hombre parts of town first, but your point remains and probably everyone should pay attention and be concerned

        Potentially synagogues as well, the reason the Tree of Life Synagogue got attacked was because they provided services to refugees.

          Sure, but those folks tend to pass the paper bag test in higher numbers than Muslims (mosques) and Latinos (heavy Catholic leaning)

        Which is funny because there were a lot of undocumented immigrants in many of the evangelical churches I played music in

    Now this is one piece of separation of church and state that I bet we can all agree on.

    Frankly it was insane that religious places would get a special exemption from that to begin with… As much as I hate ice, it’s a logical ruling

      It’s an older concept dating back to England called the privilege of sanctuary . Places of worship and refuge, no force could be used on the consecrated grounds of churches. While offically banned in the early 1600s most officials still abided by it into colonial era and the American Revolution.

        Do you have evidence of them breaking and entering without a warrant? I dont think thats happened yet.

        They just snatch you off the street instead. But this article is about sanctuaries (buildings)

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
