This may become the 2017 equivalent of Reagan firing the air traffic controllers in 1981.

[Vaduz]

Protesters learn new word replacement.

[taxcontrol]

There was a protest?
Sorry, I must have missed it.

[Dilbert San Diego]

LOL he chose poorly. I saw the end of that Indiana Jones move the other day, in which that bad guy drank from the false grail and died. And the guy there said he chose poorly.

Has she talked about feeling bad about how much pollution the DAPL protesters caused? I’ve notice the DAPL protest supporters don’t seem to be all that concerned about polluting water so long as they are the ones doing it.

[CharlesWayneCT]

That’s true, and it solves that problem.

If someone says “people can’t be “illegal”, now we can say they are trespassers.

>> There was a protest?
>> Sorry, I must have missed it.

You're not alone. I didn't notice anything either.
Then again... the immigrants that I personally know, all arrived legally.

Good Too bad they all didn’t get the axe

What if immigrants took the day off and nobody noticed?

Well, isn’t that what happened?

[trebb]

Poor babies - they went about it in a way that hurt their employers’ businesses and then cry because they got fired - they didn’t get fired, they quit and expected to be rehired as if nothing had happened....

As encouraging as this seems, I wonder if it will turn into a game of musical chairs.

In her mind that is all lies by the establishment. In her mind the photos shown in the media represent the “man” destroying a reservation. It’s really fascinating how the minds of liberals work (or don’t work.)

[Leep]

I guess they showed us we can live without them. :)

[Kickass Conservative]

Immigrants are invited, Invaders are repelled.

Tagline...

[urbanpovertylawcenter]

People doing the protests Americans are unwilling to do!

[raybbr]

The way Liberals carry on about Deportation, you would think "Mexico" was Spanish for "Auschwitz".

Or: The way Liberals carry on about Deportation, you would think 'hispanicd' was Spanish for "Jude".

[GailA]

Monday’s protest is supposed to be much bigger, and lots more fired women. Unless you arranged for a vacation or personal day off, you best have a doctor’s note.

[metmom]

I love happy endings.

***sniff***

[Amish with an attitude]

Deport them if they are eligible.

[Trumplican]

We had a wacky liberal customer who refused to let our guys work. She said they should be out protesting and not working. Apparently libs thinks all Mexicans are illegal. Seems racist and stereotypical to me.

She cost them all a days work and pay. I’m sure she feels really good about herself though.

[Sam Gamgee]

So much winning I think we are starting to get spoiled.
