White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that President Donald Trump is exploring legal pathways to “deport” U.S. citizens to El Salvador, where the administration has already arranged to house deported immigrants in a prison known for its human rights abuses.

    Tbh is pretty accurate. My only wish is we had some good equivalent term for males, because the Republican party is chock-full of male goldigging whores

      I just don’t think this lady’s hypothetical sexual promiscuity is the main problem here you know? This shouldn’t be controversial.

      The problem is the fascism- detaining and deporting people for being the wrong color and stirring up hate against them.

        From the dictionary: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/whore

        3. a mercenary or unscrupulous person : a person who is willing to compromise their integrity or principles for personal gain or in pursuit of something

        I think you might be the only person who read the comment, and immediately think about the sexual meaning of this.

        What I agree with you though, it that the term is mostly applied to women, hence why I was looking for a term that can be applied easily to men such as Ted Cruz (the master whore), or McConnell. Plenty of whoring in the Republican party males.

        Its quite upsetting that when this behavior is done by males, we always try to find other slurs (sleazy etc), and when a woman do it, this one always comes out first. It should be applied equally. But that said, again, its the perfect description for what she is doing atm.
