    Conservatives believe that illegal aliens are taking their jobs because they hire illegal aliens to take jobs.

    Smith, the wealthy owner of Broadway establishments including Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge and Rippy’s, has been a public conservative presence in Nashville, notably mounting local opposition to COVID-related restrictions on public gatherings. He’s also a Trump supporter and donor. Recent panic at his restaurants indicates that his own Broadway empire — and the wealth it has generated — relies directly on employing immigrants not authorized to work in the United States.

    Hmm, how turn tables

    There's always a bigger leopard

      Nashville musician here. Steve Smith is also widely considered to be the biggest piece of shit in the state. He fancies himself a confederate Tony Soprano of sorts. Really he’s just burnt-out coke head like his buddy Kid Rock.

          Honestly, yes I think Steve Smith would be a worse governor than Bill Lee. Now, Marsha Blackburn on the other hand… also worse but also probably smarter than both. And I would feel bad punching her in the face but Kid, Steve, and Bill not so much.

        They were working where they could get work. The important part is they were contributing to society. Now they are not.

          Running uBlock and Pihole. If your Adblock isn’t configured to ignore adblocker warnings you’ll probably see it. I find I get them more on my phone than my PC

              Yeah, I’m avoiding Chromium based browsers as best I can. I’m running Firefox with uBlock Origin and Pihole on my network itself.
