  • Sadly this is just more proof their should be an intelligence test in order to hold public office.

  • Democrat lawmakers - totally understandable. It shows how sensitive they are to other cultures.

    Republican lawmakers - it shows just how out of touch they are with working people. Obviously, they have never seen a mop sink - their maids do all the cleaning. And they're probably illegals, too.

    • Democrats have been repeatedly busted for using illegal help as maids, nannys. gardeners. etc. A perfect example of their hypocrisy. While I am sure many wealthy Republicans do the same, a great many of them are working class people who do their OWN cleaning. And couldn't afford a maid if their lives depended on it.

    • I hope this is a joke on your part .

      This concept of Democratic understanding of other cultures , is only as current as their need for new votes . Their history of , and support of Black culture doesn't extend very far in the past .

      If is immoral , if its supports rewarding sociopathic behavior on the backs of non-sociopaths , THAT"S the Democratic way . Evil is Good and Good is Evil . Nothing sums up their mind set better .

      Totally understandable now , isn't it ?

      • Of course it's a joke. That would be pretty much the media read on that story, right? They would never give us that analysis side by side, or at least I would think that they wouldn't have the balls to do that. At least not just yet.

        You are correct about the understanding (so-called) of other cultures. What they understand is that they, the higher-evolved, intelligent elites are better than all the other cultures, who should continue, or cease to exist at their whim.

        Yes, I do understand them. As a reformed leftist, I understand them better than they understand themselves.

    • Years and years ago I worked as a janitor, saw these kids of sinks/basins in all the buildings I worked in that had a "janitor's closet....I would not have made that mistake, but I do love you comment....

      • We have several of these in a couple Juvy Detention facilities I/we maintain. An educated guess: they started using these to relieve back strains from lifting a 5 gal mop bucket off the ground to drain it. In the bldg. I maintain the fire alarm contractor installed a smoke detector in the room and should have put in a heat detector. First few times the custodian filled his/her mop bucket, steam from the hot water would fill the room and break the beam sensor in the detector, clearing out the bldg. for a false alarm. The contractor took care of that problem quickly!
        Probation Dept. doesn't always have a sense of humor.
