Hope you never have to accidentally drink toilet water, hopefully these liberals whining will still keep you out of having to do it, you know? in the name of freedom, human rights and all ? Very sure they will anyway.
If you believe anything that AOC said about this you have a serious mental problem.

What are you even talking about? Do you know any agents? The vast majority are good people. Like any other profession, you may have a few bad apples. But come on, don't accuse all those over worked guys and gals of bad stuff. They have families too. This is getting ridiculous.

Since you appear to live in your own country, know that international news come to all of us and I hope you can also realize it.

Happy you found out what conditional sense meant, from a foreigner to a native-speaker


How about referring to that incident ? Or isn't the thread "appropriate"? Anything to say, really ?

The people making the complaint were aware of the faucet on top of the toilet but said it didn't work and when they complained they were told to drink out of the toilet.

(certainly not singling you out)

Was wondering when someone would realize and state that a faucet on top of a toilet (not even mentionning for how many people) could not be functionning...

Who even said the toilets are ? After all, only a picture...

And again, let's suppose both do. How many faucets and toilets for how many prisonners ? Deal with that question, defenders of the indefensible.

Reports are saying that that secret FB group had almost 10,000 members.
That’s near HALf of the current border patrol cohort.
HALF.

One could easily imagine that being okay with treating people badly is actually a requirement for the job.

They don't want to answer that, it's called "derailing" the thread.

What is actually crazy is how so many people eliminate the possibility of mistreatment, just for partisan reasons. It does remind of certain things. But won't happen as easily, because as someone astutely reminded me, news is not local anymore. One that ignores it wilfully can't say he didn't know anymore.

I'd think that so called republicans, defensers of human rights and liberties would DEMAND answers. But no....


THAT is the most shoking of all. Not that someone would lie or not, that people would immediately defend this or worse defense ever "well, it happened before".. So?? Duh !
