Which can only be applied to Goya products.

Not to mention that restaurants heavily rely on undocumented immigrants in their kitchens.

On the other hand, with all of their workers having been deported, farmers wouldn't be able to produce anything at all. This is why I want to believe that Republican talk of deportation is just bluster, but I thought that about Roe v. Wade as well.

is a felon

A few houses in my neighborhood had the "I'M VOTING FOR THE CONVICTED FELON" signs up. I would have assumed this meant they were actually anti-Trump except they had a bunch of the conventional Trump signs up as well. My understanding of these people is that they think all the negative reporting about Trump is faked by the left (or that the criminal charges are invalid and politically motivated), not that they think it's all true and support him anyway.

As a school bus driver, I work with a bunch of older people who are already utterly dependent on social security and medicare to have any semblance of a life that doesn't involve living in a tent in the park and dumpster diving for dinner. They are mostly trumpers. We're all Teamsters as well, and a few are married lesbians (and these are the most rabidly pro-trump of all). I have made a few attempts to convince them that trump (and Republicans for fucking decades) are out to destroy social security, medicare, unions and gay rights (among lots of other things) - but they reacted to me like I had grown an extra head. Somehow they've convinced themselves that the GOP is the original source and the protector of these things.

how do you drive around in a school bus as a smoker and not smoke for the entire route

Funny you should mention that - a lot of them have taken up vaping and they vape on the fucking buses. At least they only do it in between runs (as far as I know) and not with actual kids aboard. This shit pisses me off almost as much as when they talk on their phones while driving, and surprise surprise it's the same shitty people doing both things (and they're all trump supporters too).

As a parent of two kids…one loud and high-energy, the other a prime target for bullying…I appreciate what you do.

I appreciate your appreciation, but we do get paid for it. It's a pretty soft gig for just driving a big Tonka truck around.

I'm a school bus driver and a lot of my colleagues smoke. The ones in their 40s and 50s look 70+ and they're just so ... leathery. The ones older than that look like zombies.

The Palestinians have taken to the streets to sing songs in your honor. You've saved them!

Heh, according to the guy who sold me the house, he had to put the grey vinyl flooring in because of water damage from a portable AC unit.

grey vinyl flooring

I hate that shit even more than I hated the fake wood paneling and shag carpet of the '70s. I bought a house last year that had the grey vinyl flooring in the living room and I've tried my hardest to fuck it up during the renovation so I have to replace it, but unfortunately it holds up to extreme abuse pretty well.

I have Republican acquaintances who still make fucking Clinton/Lewinksi jokes. I'm not sure they've ever even heard of Epstein.
