A Republican state representative in Michigan, Rep. Matt Maddock, claimed on social media on Wednesday night that he had photo evidence of “illegal invaders” arriving at Detroit Metro Airport. One of the two photos Maddock posted X showed an Allegiant Air plane. The other photo showed three buses. The buses were not for “illegal invaders”; they were for the men’s college basketball teams that landed at the Detroit airport to compete in the NCAA tournament. The Allegiant Air flight to the airport on Wednesday was a charter flight that carried the team from Gonzaga University.
He replied to one of the many people who pointed out the plane and buses were likely for NCAA basketball teams: “Sure kommie. Good talking point.” https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/28/politics/fact-check-matt-maddock-invaders-gonzaga-madness-detroit/index.html |

| To be fair, the Biden administration has flown 320,000 newcomers around the country in the last few years. Quietly. |

Sorry, here’s a cite
“ Biden has exercised parole authority far more than any of his predecessors, which Trump calls "an outrageous abuse" that he will end if returned to the White House. Biden has granted entry — by land or air — to at least 1 million people using parole, not just the 327,000 who flew from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua or Venezuela though December.” https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2024/03/07/trump-unfounded-false-claim-biden-flying-migrants |

No, not really a reason to assume bus loads of basketball teams are "illegal invaders", post it, and then call someone a "kommie" who points out you are mistaken. It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it. |

Pp, and totally agree (although I’ve never heard of this man) but I meant that he didn’t come up with it out of nowhere. |

BoThSiDeS Speaking of epically dumb, can you imagine going on a thread about a Republican lawmaker actually thinking these bigoted, idiot thoughts, sharing them and then trying to draw a false equivalence? The guy’s “sure kommie” reply is really next level. |

Can you read? The first line of the article YOU posted says claims that Biden is flying immigrants around the country are unfounded! It goes on to say that Trump’s claims are FALSE. This proves, once again, that Trump followers are not very bright. Why would you post something that proves you and Trump are lying? |

You have to actually read the article. They’re saying it’s false because of semantics, and the quote provided is clear. |

Dems are such morons and so full of themselves. Yes, everyone who doesn’t agree with you is so stupid, good job! But read more than a sentence and . . . Oh. |

Yes. Their amygdalas are literally larger. “The volume of gray matter, or neural cell bodies, making up the anterior cingulate cortex, an area that helps detect errors and resolve conflicts, tends to be larger in liberals. And the amygdala, which is important for regulating emotions and evaluating threats, is larger in conservatives.” https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/conservative-and-liberal-brains-might-have-some-real-differences/ So glad loons like this guy have been swept out of the majority. |
