Continuing saga of the Spanish meeting on the patio this evening. Rosa called and related the following:

They are concerned/angry about deportations of their older kids, married and w/their grandchildren. These "older kids" (50, early 60s) are so used to not having to worry about deportation and are not paying a lot of attention. Most of their info comes from
Telemundo and hopefully they are being told the truth. Very concerned with their banking, savings and investments and many started calling trump the SOB. They do NOT like Musk at all and are wondering why trump listens to him so much.

Rosa says the romance is definitely over and one of their concerns was also for one of their very unstable ladies who stated she would rather kill herself before going back to Guatemala where she came from. They decided to keep an eye on her even though she's a citizen. These are all comfortable living people who love America and think they've been sold a Bill of Goods. That's all I got on this little get together. It started with 3 people sitting around discussing things and grew to about 15. As Skittles said FAFO.

in order because there is going to be some crazy bullshit going to go on with ignorant, malicious MAGAs and Trumpers trying to stir trouble with those of us they don't like. And if it happens to me, I would be very interested in finding organized lawyers who are ready to represent those of us who become victims of defamation.

Those lawsuits needs to be loud and public to put an end to vigilantism. At least they'll think twice.

they go to church and Jesus also likes them. Then Republicans take over and they wake up to the news that Republicans like Steven Miller don't like their asses being here. Why there are even plans to kick some of their relative out of the country,

"I didn't know they meant us."

The thing about whiteness is that only white people can let you into the club.

All these Latinos who think they are white are about to find out very soon that if white people don't consider you white, you're not white.

The rich Jews thought they were safe. They weren’t. Some tried to bribe their way to safety; Hitler stole their money and killed them. Dictators don’t care about ‘the rules’. I hope that there is a massive groundswell of opposition if Trump tries to implement his plans.

When I read what they've brought upon themselves, I can't seem to feel the scorn for them that I felt yesterday.
