Re: Senator Lisa Murkowski. She really can't be classidfied as a "Conservative" or as a "Liberal" ("Progressive"). She taken vary varied positions on various issues.
IIRC, a while back she ran for the Republican candidate for Senator-- and lost. So she ran as an independent in the general election.
But what I found interesting was-- after that, running as an independent, against both the Republican as well as the Democratic nominees-- she won the election!

She had always been a strong advocate for the rights of indigenous peoples in Alaska (the Inuit) and it was probably their votes for her that provided her margin of victory!

P.S: I never met her, but two of my closest friends at the time (both very "moderate" Republicans) were good friends with her, and said wonderful things about her.

Much of the Arctic, where Inuit live, became part of Canada in the 1880s. Canadian law did not mention Inuit voting rights until the 1930s, when these rights were denied.
I'm trying to find the comments from Kim Jong-Un, I don't know from where you posted them John, it could be in this article somewhere or another one you've posted, that were not favorable towards the former 'president' while in the past they were very favorable.
I will support you. Your labors (of love) here are strongly and daily recognized and appreciated. Your 'articles' are read and responded to considerably.
As the groundwork has already been laid in contesting the results, let us be clear in knowing that the process works. To deny the integrity of our elections, in desperate preemptive action, is to deny our heritage of free and fair participation in the democratic process. Now more than ever, your vote will never be more important.
And a belated happy birthday to you, JR…your passion is commendable.
To deny the integrity of our elections, in desperate preemptive action, is to deny our heritage of free and fair participation in the democratic process.
The chances the Trumpster Republicans wont try to suppress and subvert the vote hovers around zero.
Donald 'Armor All' Trump. . . no thanks! It's condescending to tell women they need a 'man' (and its old-fashioned).
In theory this could work. . . in practice . . . turns out it was not real and the imagery could not sustain itself. Of course, Crooked Donald would love women (and girls) to "reimagine' themselves as such "shiny and brand new" objectified. . . eye-candy all day-every day.
These women need a 'man' - because they are KEPT .
i am pretty sure girls and women have given up on the notion of being simple 'play-things' for their 'man' to come home to after work!
In theory this could work. . . in practice . . . turns out it was not real and the imagery could not sustain itself.
As soon as I saw the images in 5. 1. 5. I knew they were fake-- generated by AI, and a really bad job at that. (I've seen AI generated images that look real-- but these are poorly done).
Harris gave an entire speech about the economy (today) and all she did was talk about the economy. Did not update us on Hannibal Lecter. Did not impersonate a girl weight lifter. Did not lash out at all the prosecutors trying to put her in jail.
John Solomon is trash who was up to his neck in Giuliani's meddling in internal Ukrainian politics in 2019 , including the firing of the decent woman who was the US ambassador to Ukraine at the time.

I believe what will be revealed soon is why the maga king and the cult are so extra desperate and flailing and PD&D+deluding even more so than ever, if that's even possible, once the convicted felon rapist traitor conman's actions/non-actions are known.
Trump's claim he directly authorized national guard troops on Jan 6th is a bald lie.
True.
I remember it well-- here's what happened:
Larry Hogan, a moderate Republican who was the governor of the bordering state of Maryland at the time, when he saw what was happening, immediately put the MD National Guard on alert-- and told them to be ready to quickly move into The District when he gave the word. And they were totally prepared.
But, IIRC, that required approval from the Pentagon. The head of The Pentagon at that time was a Trump loyalist. So he procrastinated, allowing the insurrectionists to do their dirty work..
(I don't remeber the exact details of what happened next, but somehow the MD National Guard got the OK and moved in rapidly).
When the Republican insurrectionists saw the Guard approaching they rapidly fled the Capital....and the attempted insurrection failed.
John Solomon is trash who was up to his neck in Giuliani's meddling in internal Ukrainian politics in 2019 , including the firing of the decent woman who was the US ambassador to Ukraine at the time.
The documentary From Russia With Lev shows this clearly.
After seeing Trump's claim that if he loses if will be the fault of "the Jews" I was curious-- so I googled and found that Jews make up less than 2.5 % of the U.S. population.
(That number is from 2020 and as a percentage of the population the number of Jews has been declining fairly rapidly-- so it smaller than that now).
As Tucker Carlson’s tour rolls on, headliner Roseanne Barr tells a cheering audience that the elites are eating babies and are vampires who drink blood and love the taste of human flesh but Trump is going to stop it.

Imagine Harris, who was in charge of the border and allowed millions of illegal immigrants into our country, trying to criticize President Trump border policies with a quote from some rapper.
Trumpists can not prove this statement and its corresponding LIE(that she is a 'boder czar'). . . so they are LYING just like Crooked Donald has equipped them to LIE!

"As someone who served in the Trump administration, I experienced the chaos firsthand," she wrote. "I dealt with the fallout of his lack of self-control and poor decisions. I watched his dehumanizing rhetoric lead to increases in hate crimes and acts of domestic terrorism. I watched as my bosses respectfully explained why he could not do certain things, because it was illegal or unconstitutional -- until they were fired for saying 'no' too often."
She then went on to talk about the way that Trump "praised our enemies and undermined our allies" while at the same time disparaging American military veterans.
Jamison reports , "The critical messages, shared with The Post by their recipient on the condition of anonymity because of concerns about retaliation, cast doubt on Vance's oft-recited account of how and when he embraced Trumpism. They were written years after Vance's previously reported remarks attacking Trump, such as his statements in 2016 that Trump was 'reprehensible,' 'cultural heroin' and possibly 'America's Hitler'…. The messages show that Vance still took a dim view of Trump's achievements long after 2016 — and after almost four years of observing how the man he now calls 'the best president of my lifetime' behaved in office." Vance privately said Trump 'failed to deliver' in 2020: He 'will probably lose' - Alternet.org

"Well if you are... hard working... if you... have... uh... the dreams and the ambitions and the aspirations of what I believe you do, you're in my plan."

Trump Suggests Putin Wants to End War, as Zelensky Looks On
“I’m sure President Putin wants it to stop,” Donald Trump said of the Russia-Ukraine war on Friday. President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine stressed that the war shouldn’t have been started.
Body language is 'everything' in that photo. Zelensky needs to play nice, but I can only imagine the things that this man as seen , read , and experiences since becoming president of Ukraine. . . that really makes a 'repeat' presidency for Donald all the more difficult to stand beside Crooked Donald (the Louse who would give this man's home land away).
BTW, though I know the situations are not the same. . . we can all see how. . . 'complicated' it is for Donald to let the smallest matter go in his own (un)professional and personal life—the man has 'scores' of lawyers and many series of court cases—starting up and continuing through the appeals process. . . and beyond.
How the hell would Crooked Donald feel if Mexico or Canada annexed (a red state) Montana or North Dakota? He would not accept that. . .indeed Crooked Donald would never stop talking about the Mexicans or Canadians who crossed the border to 'assault' and cause injury to the U.S.!
So what is Donald up to? He wants to end this with Machiavellian expediency because the rush would make him look like he is "what's happening" in the world today. . . and not somebody who has "jumped the shark."
Trump: I want ‘my people’ to ‘sit up at attention’ like in North Korea
When asked about whether Kim would be visiting the White House any time soon, Trump responded “it could happen.” He then went on to praise the dictator for being a strong leader.
In the wake of Trump’s summit with Kim in Singapore earlier this week, the president has called Kim “talented” and a “funny guy” with a “great personality”.
Ccomments that have sparked a backlash because of the atrocities Kim is accused of carrying out on his own people, including starvation and widespread imprisonment.
Did you see how jd vance was not allowed in a restaurant in PA for a campaign event? Fucking hilarious. Got there with camera crews and everything and the establishment did not want them there and did not allow them in. Didn't want them using their restaurant for a campaign event. Ended up doing it in the parking lot.
Exactly. What a jerk 'move' to show up unannounced to stage an event without proper authorization from the restaurant owner and management! It reminds me of the use of songs (being sued by Isaac Hayes son for improper use of "Hold on I'm coming") without proper permission. Improper preparation for 'duty' and being irresponsible is indicative of being unfit to serve as vice-president and president!
It really is abusive of senior trumpist voters to foist Crooked Donald on a new generation of youthful Americans. 'When the GOP send Donald back to the White House, they will not be sending their best.'
Trump is the dumbest person ever to run for president — by far. Nobody else in history even comes close. If I’m wrong, give me the name of just one presidential candidate who was dumber than Trump. Go ahead. I’ll wait.
Certainly true in my adult lifetime. Although it is more difficult to speak of the others in history, chances are that they were all more intelligent given the requirements for office prior to Trump.
Hard to imagine the historical electorate support Trump as a candidate, much less nominee, much less President.
The 2024 electorate appears to have carved out a historical low-bar for who would be considered for PotUS.
That is the irony, eh? Some trumpists are so crooked that they would take a 'robber baron' and 'dictator lover' and 'liar' and 'cheat' . . . and 'thief' over a regular, hardworking, good president candidate who loves all the freedoms s/he can stand!
Questions for any some conservative (in here):
When did conservatives begin hating more freedoms?
When did freedom become a dirty/nasty word to conservatives?
As it turns out generally speaking conservatives have been bitching about the changes 'modernization' of the country for well over 50 years plus. These same folks have bitched about and against their own "moderate' run-of-the-mill conservative presidents and their selected conservative members that would ascend to the high court with a strict conservative outlook only to moderate/soften their opining and 'votes' once there.
Believe it or not. MAGA/trumpists and Donald 'found' each other. Here was an unprincipled, for all intents and purposes- unchecked fool, who auditioned for the role of GOP 'head' and presidential candidate who would do whatever it takes him to do to be remembered as anything but a LOSER. (Albeit it Crooked Donald will be remembered historically in nasty terms-just like his friend and confidant Roy Cohn. . . . What a disaster.)
Some conservatives want Crooked Donald. They know what/when/where/how/who Crooked Donald is. And they want him. This is no accident. Three times is the charm. As in they have selected Crooked Donald to be standard-bearer for the GOP on purpose. Indeed, they deliberately and with malice swept up anybody ("debris") that got/gets in Crooked Donald's way.
Let Crooked Donald be 'crooked.' It's A-OKAY' as long as he don't hurt a fellow trumpist!
It takes no special intelligence to make inconsistent lies. Spewing a series of lies is easy if one does not care if the lies contradict each other (and reality).
Crooked Donald has never once stopped LYING TO THE PUBLIC. His public has never stopped listening to him lie. Conclusion: Crooked Donald's supporters have been trained to accept the normalization of lies stacked up to 'high heaven.'
On a positive note: The media would do the nation a great service if they compel Crooked Donald to tell even more lies . . . until that LIAR HAS LIED so much that he can not keep them all 'straight' and it tasking him into a Living LIARS Hell on Earth!
Then, somebody can quietly push/wheel this LIAR into a corner of a nursing home or Mara Lago and 'let him be' - replaying memories of his greatest CONS on vulnerable people and rather 'madly' snickering to himself!
Trump has far passed the point where he is not keeping his lies straight. He has been contradicting himself for years now. It apparently does not matter to his supporters. Or, perhaps, they do not see the contradictions (plenty of ways for this to happen).
Well one thing is evidently clear: Crooked Donald is not a rubberstamp for Trumpists. He 'bows' his constituents and turns them into his public servants—not the other way around. Crooked Donald is helping himself! He is not remotely interested in being a proper public servant!
Crooked Donald is here for the "applause." God, I hope they can keep him from ruining this country farther this fall!
This is taking a basic principle of helping people with barriers to pursue their ambitions. The basic principle of addressing conditions such as poor education so that driven kids with aptitude can actually build the skills and credibility to secure higher education.
To call that communism is absurd. It is a cynical, mangled generalization of the principle that helping people to achieve success is good for the nation.
My biggest fear about this election is that all their lies will succeed. By this point in time all this lying is second nature to many people. Misinformation is everywhere. Trump could win on those basis. I wish it were inconceivable, but its not.
There are too many in the electorate who have a very distorted understanding of political reality. Many are just stubborn, simplistic voters who are going to vote for Trump because of some cultish view of him as a super hero. Others are so deep into partisan confirmation bias that they will not vote for a Democrat no matter what. Even if that means that Trump gets elected. And then there are those who ignore ALL of Trump's negatives because of a belief that his policies are good for the nation. On this last point, I can appreciate those who think Trump is better on the border, but those who think Trump's truly insane ideas such as raising tariffs as a means for the USA to generate massive revenue simply do not understand economics. They do not understand, for example, that tariffs are paid by importers who pass their extra costs onto consumers via the supply chain. They do not understand that tariffs will drive inflation upward. They do not understand that the USA is part of a global economy and this bully isolationism of Trump is irresponsible and, flat out, stupid.
Equity is a whole lot better than Mick Mulvaney (video host) sitting on his fat ass pretending to not understand what equity could do positively for the country (which by the way Americans are a community-not "competitors" for the same rights and resources) just so he can have a voice on a conservative news outlet.
Hey dumb-ass conservative Mick "Hard NO,"helping the people stuck in the 'pond' with you to get equity, equality, and inclusion is not communism!
Some conservatives have spent my entire life trying to hold back cooperation for the good of all Americans. They simply don't want America to work, progress, and change for best of all its citizens. Thus, they pitifully throw their collective might behind a corrupt and crooked Donald Trump! A stupid "mothball" name Donald, is milking their collective 'teats' for personal gain (apparently Donald wants trumpists to make him the world's first 'trillionaire'?) and they just 'stand' there while he rapes their purses and wallets with trite rhetoric!
As an old man now I am tired of this and I declare 'no more Mr. Nice-guy'!
You have fight fire with flame retardant and preventive measures. That is - go on the offensive. Tell the truth without chaser. Just like they LIE without chaser!
Did you even watch Krishna's video? Trump is irrational and living in his own alternate reality where he is the smartest person on the planet. Can you imagine any other candidate for PotUS for a major party saying anything close to the narcissistic, ego-maniacal crap illustrated in the video?
What a disgrace! What I know is Crooked Donald is the most ridiculous and impossible man I have ever had the misfortunate to read about and see on television. I will NEVER forget or forgive the GOP for foisting this loud-mouth, empty-headed, weird, 'creepy-thing," upon a society that wanted to be civil and better. Because of him our great nation is planning, literally has a long-term strategy to debase itself before the world!
I don't need videos. I lived through 4 years of the Biden administration.
The point was about Trump. The Biden administration was a normal D administration. How can you possibly observe Trump with any sort of objectivity and think that this ego-maniacal scoundrel would be good for this nation?
Do you really want someone empowered with the US presidency who thinks he knows more than anyone else and who has demonstrated reckless, irresponsible behavior?
Here, Vic, is this this kind of rhetoric you want from a commander in chief of US armed forces??
This is probably the kind of s-it trumpists need less of. Stop looking for toxic s-it to spread into the sound-cloud! BTW, I know Levin is a big-s-it stirrer so I don't have 20 minutes to let him 'feed' me garbage. I will just go from my past listening of the toxic-talker who only sees the worse in people who he is COMPELLED to live with all his damn life!
We are 'stuck' on one another. Like it or lump it. Best try to find the good in every situation and work to make more of that than talking bull that keeps this country circling around the 'bowl' waiting for "God" to flush it. Because if 'God' was going to flush the 'bowl' it would have been done so already!
The Biden administration was a normal D administration.
The Biden administration was as radical as anyone could imagine.
As anyone with a pulse knows: They opened the borders, caused inflation and hardship with their out-of-control spending, made the country far less safe, used lawfare to go after political opponents, silenced opposing views & news stories on social media, intimidated parents, fled from Afghanistan and stood by while the middle east erupted into war and Russia invaded Ukraine.
True, but you exaggerate the living shit out of the consequences. The number of illegal immigrants in the USA remains between 10 and 12 million.
... caused inflation and hardship with their out-of-control spending ...
Neither party is fiscally responsible anymore. But Biden spent significantly less than Trump! Further, most of the inflation was a consequence of the pandemic.
... made the country far less safe ...
How? Back to your border exaggeration again?
... used lawfare to go after political opponents ...
Absolute bullshit. Biden to not go after Trump. That is pure partisan (and obtuse) nonsense.
... silenced opposing views & news stories on social media ...
What??
... intimidated parents ...
What??
... fled from Afghanistan ...
That was Trump's initiative. Blame Biden for the poor execution, not the idea of leaving Afghanistan unless you include Trump on that.
... and stood by while the middle east erupted into war and Russia invaded Ukraine.
The encounters have spiked but the number of illegals remains relatively stable.
Probably because even those illegals are human and many of them die while here and there is just another one to take their place. In Biden's case, 2 or 3 to take their place.
Yeah bugsy, the illegal immigration population in the USA has remained relatively stable because people die and new illegals continue to enter the USA. Good to see that you have that part under control.
Do you then recognize how absurd Trump's claims are? Do you see that Trump is claiming that more illegals (almost twice as many) came into our nation during Biden's term than there are illegals in our nation in total?
eah bugsy, the illegal immigration population in the USA has remained relatively stable because people die and new illegals continue to enter the USA.
Good for you agreeing to that point. Totally unexpected.
The most reported number by reliable sources is around 10 million since 2021. About 8-9 million encounters and probably a million got aways, but of course, there could be more than that because no one really knows.
This administration is a failure. Only pure partisans will see it another way.
Good for you agreeing to that point. Totally unexpected.
Why would agreeing with one of the most obvious facts of life surprise you?
This administration is a failure. Only pure partisans will see it another way.
Of course you do not see this, but deeming the Biden administration a failure and intending to vote for Trump (of all people) is precisely pure partisan.
Of course you do not see this, but deeming the Biden administration a failure and intending to vote for Trump (of all people) is precisely pure partisan.
Get a clue
[✘] Seeing how one administration is a failure, hence the vote for the other person is the farthest from being partisan.
In other words, if a democrat (that is, Kamala Harris) said such profoundly irrational, ego-maniacal, and narcissistic. . . trumpists would mock it outright! And I am looking at Mark Levin, 'mister bombastic and crude conservative himself,' who accepts Crooked Donald's bull on its face! Just shows -us-Levin (26.2.1) is full of s-it before he opens his mouth to speak! And wants his listeners to be full of s-it too just like himself!
That is not strength to LIE and say he will blow up large cities in a foreign country over threatening a former president (AKA: "This person.") who is a selfish pig. The world outrage would be off the scale. No dumb-ass Crooked Donald can not 'rule' with fear and the might of this nation against his personal enemies. It would make more sense to say 'hold and jail' the president of Iran (then see what Iran does about that) than to say he will kill thousands or millions as some retaliation for someone going after his selfish pig self!
The most reported number by reliable sources is around 10 million since 2021. About 8-9 million encounters and probably a million got aways, but of course, there could be more than that because no one really knows.
And of course, the collective you are 'supposing' because it stirs the bull. . .to imagine things worse than they are.
True, but you exaggerate the living shit out of the consequences.
Actually that's not true. Open borders are what we have between the states – free movement across state lines. The national borders are definitely not "open." The vast majority of migrant numbers reported are for encounters with CBP, they aren't just walking in freely.
That open borders thing is a frequent talking point on the right, but it's a flat out lie. Par for the course these days.
The true part is that Biden did indeed reduce border policies when he took office.
Biden killed the Migrant Protection Protocols which required migrants to stay in Mexico while the sought asylum, softened deportation to focus on the more criminal illegals, and stopped all work on the wall.
While I am not arguing these were bad or unjustified moves, they did indeed open the borders more from when Trump was in office.
That open borders thing is a frequent talking point on the right, but it's a flat out lie. Par for the course these days.
And if by 'open borders' a Trump supporter actually believes that the borders are literally open, then there is no reasoning with them anyway ... they are entirely out of touch with the facts (and basic logic).
The true part is that Biden did indeed reduce border policies when he took office.
But that wasn't the claim.
And if by 'open borders' a Trump supporter actually believes that the borders are literally open, then there is no reasoning with them anyway ... they are entirely out of touch with the facts (and basic logic).
Well, yeah. Exactly. That's made obvious here daily, like with Vic's post that you addressed. I guarantee that nothing you said in reply will matter. You'll see the same bullshit claims tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that.
That is how I read the claim. I gave Vic the benefit of the doubt that he was aware that the borders are not literally open and that his use of the verb 'opened' was relative to the condition at the end of the Trump term.
I guarantee that nothing you said in reply will matter. You'll see the same bullshit claims tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that.
I fully agree. I never try to reason with a Trump supporter and never expect them to budge on their position.
And if by 'open borders' a Trump supporter actually believes that the borders are literally open
Simple question.......
More than 8-9 million illegals came across during this admin without being vetted.
For you to believe the border is open, do you require a huge neon flashing "OPEN" sign at all of the borders because that is exactly how your comments insinuate?
More than 8-9 million illegals came across during this admin without being vetted.
Your fact is wrong; those are encounters (appx. 9.5 million of them). An encounter is different from an illegal immigrant who is now living in the USA.
How do you define an 'open border'? Do you think it means that illegals are free to just walk into the USA ... that they are not stopped by the border patrol?
One does not get encountered unless one crosses the border illegally. Almost all of them are not vetted and released into the country with supposed court dates years in the future, ie, probably willnever show and never get booted.
So answer my question without once again deflecting.
Do you require a large neon "OPEN" sign at each border before you will admit the border is open?
"that they are not stopped by the border patrol?"
Millions are not. That is why they are called getaways.
Almost all of them are not vetted and released into the country with supposed court dates years in the future, ie, probably willnever show and never get booted.
You made that up. Deliver a credible source.
We know there was a spike in encounters so statistically there will be more gotaways under Biden. That does not mean that our border is open unless you have some special definition for 'open border'.
So answer my question without once again deflecting.
How do you define an 'open border'? Do you think it means that illegals are free to just walk into the USA ... that they are not stopped by the border patrol?
How about from the mouth of Biden's top border official
" T he Biden administration's top border official declined to confirm that migrants who come over the southern border illegally are being vetted by federal law enforcement before being released into the United States."
Is the Washington Examiner lying?
" Do you think it means that illegals are free to just walk into the USA ... that they are not stopped by the border patrol?"
Apparently you do not pay attention to the news. There are multiple reports by many sources that show illegals walking across the border with no one stopping them. Some run, some turn themselves in because they know Biden will not turn them away, but to answer your question, something you rather deflect than answer a question posed to you is yes, .....illegals are free to walk across the border and not be stopped by Border Patrol.
If they were being vetted properly we wouldn’t have tens of thousands of illegals that have murder, rape, assault, or other felony records, in this country now.
Some leftists actually believe the Biden admin gives a shit who these people are.
The funny thing is when you ask any of them how many of these "vetted" illegals they have taken into their home to free up housing, the only answer I get is whoa, whoa, whoa....not in my backyard.
You would think that if they were truly vetted, these "sympathetic" leftists would be bending over backwards to help out these poor lost souls.
“Some leftists actually believe the Biden admin gives a shit who these people are.”
just my opinion but i think dems/biden only see them as future voters.
”The funny thing is when you ask any of them how many of these "vetted" illegals they have taken into their home to free up housing, the only answer I get is whoa, whoa, whoa....not in my backyard. ”
martha’s vinyard comes to mind. Not to say it doesn’t happen but if it does it is a rare occurrence. i have seen several dem politicians ask constituents to take illegals into their home but have not seen any reports that these same pols have done that, figures.
”You would think that if they were truly vetted, these "sympathetic" leftists would be bending over backwards to help out these poor lost souls.”
i would think these sympathetic leftists would jump to help Americans that need help before illegals but again, that doesn’t seem to be the case. But hey, we are talking about the America last crowd.
bugsy @26.2.38 ☞ Almost all of them are not vetted and released into the country with supposed court dates years in the future, ie, probably willnever show and never get booted
Your link does not support your claim.
Operate on fact rather than bullshit.
We know the border security is inadequate. There is no need to make ridiculous exaggerations. Indeed, hyperbole destroys credibility.
If they were being vetted properly we wouldn’t have tens of thousands of illegals that have murder, rape, assault, or other felony records, in this country now.
There are "tens of thousands" that have committed crimes out of the total 11 million or so that are here, most of whom have been here for quite some time, many who came during the Trump administration. You insinuate that it was somehow the Biden administration that should be held responsible for the "tens of thousands" which is frankly nothing but an intentional lie to try and wrongly attack the current administration for your own political purpose.
Donald Trump has long pushed for a tougher approach on illegal immigration, both on the U.S.-Mexico border and elsewhere in the country. As a candidate for president, Trump pledged to build a border wall to reduce illegal crossings. And shortly after being elected, Trump said his administration would deport as many as 3 million unauthorized immigrants with criminal records living in the United States.
So how has immigration enforcement changed under Trump? Here’s a look at the data on three key measures – border apprehensions, interior arrests and deportations – based on the latest available full-year statistics from Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The analysis also includes data about how various immigration policies and agencies are perceived by the U.S. public, based on Pew Research Center surveys.
The number of migrant apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border rose in fiscal 2019 to its highest annual level in 12 years . The 851,508 apprehensions recorded last fiscal year (October 2018-September 2019) were more than double the number the year before (396,579) but still well short of the levels in the early 2000s, according to CBP , the agency tasked with enforcing immigration laws at the border.
Trump sycophants misrepresent his actual record on undocumented immigrants every time they open their fucking mouths but I guess that's to be expected.
It is 'eternally' sad how many 'lost years' each of us have given to political warfare and disability from right-wing people with a primary wish in life to out-compete and make enemies of their fellow Americans!

Some food for thought on the most significant elections in U.S. History
In order to be included in this list of the top ten presidential elections, a significant event had to impact the election's outcome or the election needed to result in a significant shift in party or policy.
This presidential election is considered by most scholars as the most significant in U.S. history because of its far reaching impact on electoral policies. The electoral college system from the Constitution broke down allowing Aaron Burr (1756–1836), the VP candidate, to be in contention for the presidency against Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826). It was decided in the House after twenty-six ballots.
Significance: Because of this election, the 12th Amendment was added to the Constitution changing the electoral process. Further, a peaceful exchange of political power occurred (Federalists out, Democratic–Republicans in.)
The presidential election of 1860 demonstrated that the institution of slavery was a dividing line in American politics. The newly formed Republican party adopted an anti-slavery platform that led to a narrow victory for Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865) and also set the stage for secession . Individuals who once associated with the Democratic or Whig parties yet were anti-slavery realigned to join the Republicans. Those from other parties who were pro-slavery joined the Democrats.
Significance: The election of Lincoln took the country towards the abolition of slavery and was the straw that broke the camel's back, leading to the secession of eleven states.
Election of 1932
Another shift in political parties occurred with the presidential election of 1932. Franklin Roosevelt's Democratic Party came to power by forming the New Deal coalition that united groups that previously had not been associated with the same party. These included urban workers, northern Black people, southern white people, and Jewish voters. Today's Democratic Party is still largely comprised of this coalition.
Significance: A new coalition and realignment of political parties occurred that would help shape future policies and elections.
Election of 1896
The presidential election of 1896 demonstrated a sharp division in society between urban and rural interests. William Jennings Bryan (Democrat, 1860–1925) was able to form a coalition that answered the call of progressive groups and rural interests including the indebted farmers and those arguing against the gold standard. William McKinley's (1843–1901) victory was significant because it highlights the shift from America as an agrarian nation to one of urban interests.
Significance: The election highlights the changes that were occurring in American society at the turn of the 19th century .
The presidential election of 1828 is often pointed to as the "rise of the common man." It has been called the "Revolution of 1828." After the Corrupt Bargain of 1824 when Andrew Jackson was defeated, an up-welling of support arose against back room deals and candidates chosen by caucus. At this point in American history, the nominating of candidates became more democratic as conventions replaced caucuses.
Significance: Andrew Jackson was the first president not born of privilege. The election was the first time that individuals began to fight against corruption in politics.
This election ranks higher than other disputed elections because it is set against the backdrop of Reconstruction . New York governor Samuel Tilden (1814–1886) led in popular and electoral votes but was one shy of the necessary votes to win. The existence of disputed electoral votes led to the Compromise of 1877 . A commission was formed and voted along party lines, awarding Rutherford B. Hayes (Republican, 1822–1893) the presidency. It is believed that Hayes agreed to end Reconstruction and recall all troops from the South in exchange for the presidency.
Significance: The election of Hayes meant the end of Reconstruction, opening up the country to the scourge of repressive Jim Crow laws.
The Election of 1824 is known as the 'Corrupt Bargain'. The lack of an electoral majority resulted in the election being decided in the House. It is believed that a deal was made giving the office to John Quincy Adams (1767–1829) in exchange for Henry Clay becoming Secretary of State .
Significance: Andrew Jackson won the popular vote, but lost because of this bargain. The election's backlash catapulted Jackson to the presidency in 1828, and split the Democratic-Republican Party in two.
The reason why the presidential election of 1912 is included here is to show the impact that a third party can have on the outcome of an election. When former president Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) broke from the Republicans to form the independent Bull Moose Party , he hoped to win back the presidency. His presence on the ballot split the Republican vote resulting in a win for the Democrat, Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924). Wilson would go on to lead the nation during World War I and staunchly fought for the "League of Nations," an idea not supported by Republicans.
Significance: Third parties cannot necessarily win American elections but they can spoil them.
The Election of 2000 came down to the electoral college and specifically the vote in Florida. Because of the controversy over the recount in Florida, the campaign of former vice president Al Gore (born 1948) sued to have a manual recount. This was significant because it was the first time the Supreme Court got involved in an electoral decision. It decided that the votes should stand as counted and the electoral votes for the state were awarded to George W. Bush . He won the presidency without winning the popular vote.
Significance: The after-effects of the 2000 election can still be felt in everything from constantly evolving voting machines to greater scrutiny of elections themselves.
Election of 1796
After George Washington's retirement, there was no unanimous choice for president. The presidential election of 1796 demonstrated that the fledgling democracy could work. One man stepped aside, and a peaceful election occurred resulting in John Adams as president. One side effect of this election which would become more significant in 1800 was that due to the electoral process, arch-rival Thomas Jefferson became Adams' Vice President.
Significance: The election proved that American electoral system worked.
In order to be included in this list of the top ten presidential elections, a significant event had to impact the election's outcome or the election needed to result in a significant shift in party or policy.
But OTOH-- here's the real significance of the upcoming election.
Because nobody knows the real significance of the upcoming election-- until it happens!
The 'future trumpists of America' are playing the song, "Hold On I'm Coming" (just like Donald) in the background. . . they should be sued to pay for copyright infringement if they did not get clearance to use it! To use their verbiage: "F-ck" their youth as they are in college to know better about such matters of capitalism!
No President has ever lied to the American people more than @realDonaldTrump

While in Georgia, Trump claims Gov. Kemp is having a difficult time getting in touch with President Biden. But Kemp spoke directly with Biden last night. “He offered that if there’s other things we need, just to call him directly,” Kemp said, “which I appreciate that.”
What's funny about that is I believe the reverse is true, though most of Trumps supporters refuse to admit it...
"My support for Trump is not about politics. This isn't about whether I'm a liberal or a conservative, Democrat or Republican. It's about me not being a decent human being, embracing bigotry, misogyny, racism, and supporting an obnoxious, disgusting person who represents MY America. The America of the confederacy, the America of Jim Crow, the America when women couldn't vote, blacks couldn't get a bank loan or buy a house in most areas and white Christian males were large and in charge...".
Crooked Donald wins with his supporters because he champions their causes and appears to win against liberals - by focusing on his supporters points of view and forcing his way.
That is, liberals and progressives continue to 'enjoy' a notion that they can win over the Right (me included at varying times), when actually Crooked Donald and his 'mob' of millions are, from their perspective, engaging in 'holy' and fierce political warfare with us!
Yes, it is the case that 70 million plus U.S. citizens more or less or waging political warfare against their fellow Americans. They do not like 'us' or what we represent. Thus, they lie, mock, denigrate, insult, do not wish us well, and are vulgar - even harmful towards 'us.'
Here's how stupid Trump is - he wore a red MAGA hat when he visited with hurricane victims today. That ends all suspense about whether this was a campaign stop.

Joe's on the beach. Kamala's raising money from Hollywood and getting clowned online for taking an obviously staged photo to make it look she's working.
That's exactly what the left was saying when Ted Cruz didn't stay for the blizzard.
When the disaster happens in the State you were elected to represent you're not necessarily supposed to go out to the victims immediately, but your constituents expect you to be working to get the funding needed for them instead of running off to Cancun while they're all still knee deep in water.
What Trump did was nothing but a photo op which he clearly saw as a campaign event since he was wearing his campaign hat while taking up the first responders time while getting exactly nothing done to help anyone. His visit only hindered the first responders rescue mission.
It's even worse than that (potentially). As Crooked Donald exposed himself too much to open spaces in Georgia for the sake of a photo op. Had anyone saw his "openness" as an occasion to take a "free" _______ you know what. . . that arrogant fool would have been seriously hurt or. . . as the saying goes: 'third times the charm!"
And remember this, we have all heard that expression ("third times the charm"). . . meaning each time Donald exposes himself (needlessly) to someone wanting to hurt him. . . the 'group' intellect clocks more information about how those around him operate.
Better he listens to his handlers and stop with the campaign "sudden-ness."
The only people that loathe Trump boils down to one fact....he beat Hillary. That's it. Nothing else. The hatred just built up from there and is now irreversible.

Why make such an outrageously dumb claim? To what end? I am pretty sure most Ds do not even think of Hillary anymore. Quite likely they are against Trump for merit … his unconstitutional, illegal behavior, abysmal character, and malignant narcissism.
Crooked Donald ('the Burnout') went 'big-footing' into Georgia today in a vain attempt to upstage the sitting president Joe Biden and V.P. Harris. Biden and Harris acted wisely in order to avoid too much disruption and other hindrances occurring to rescues and emergency services repairs done in affected towns, cities, and states.
That is not a 'complaint.' I saw the image of George Bush looking from 'the plane' at the disaster and agreed there was no place for a procession and 'pagentry' on the roads of Katrina 'aftermath.'
As to those whom brought the case against him: See them. It has nothing to do with people like me. BTW, I voted for George W. Bush the first time 'around' as president!
Crooked Donald was out of line to get in the way of a sitting president. He looks like a damn befuddled fool (and a little less so- Franklin Graham and his organization, "Samaritan's Purse." (I have given donations to that charity fund too back in the early 2000s before the 2008 recession.) Now Franklin Graham is 'tooling' and sharing it for political purposes and its disgusting and so is he.
Regardless of what he wore on his head, he did something that Biden and Harris have not done...He was there. He didn't just issue pathetic statements while hanging out on a beach or fundraising in San Francisco and Vegas.
How much did Biden and Harris donate to rebuilding the effected areas of TN and NC?
You think the president and the vice president of the United States dont care about hurricane victims? There is something wrong with people who think like that. Maybe they are in a cult or something. Do you think people actually care if Trump showed up in his 2000 dollar suit and red tie and hat? to do what? what did he do?
Lot of rain and wind but nothing NEAR to what my neighbors to the north and west got. It wiped out my wife and my favorite town of Chimney Rock. Sad for all. Terrible. Next time they say tropical storm, I hope people remember this one and heed the warnings. I don't think anyone anticipated the strength of this one.
Sort of like superfluous "thoughts and prayers" - shows "kinship" - but you can't eat it or take it to the bank! Another way to "spin it"!
On Wednesday, the OFFICIALS show up (that have not shown up already as some were on the various scenes before Helene's arrival) and they come bearing proper gifts!
I don't think anyone expected a hurricane to come 300 miles in land. They could have asked me. I lived thru Hurricane Agnes in 1972. I lived in Tioga County, PA at the time. That hurricane came right up the Susquehanna river valley and caused mass flooding all over the northern half of PA.
But, but, . . . it's Israel and we know Crooked Donald has done many transactions with Israel. It would be a failure for any president to not personally heed Israel's urgent calls!
I agree. Hell, I would agree to that even if Donald could surpriise me and be articulate and civilized. I can give props when/where due. No skin off me for doing so. Does not mean I will vote for an all-around Loser, nevertheless!
If you're not on the "whitelist"? How apropos for the party of white nationalists, wannabe Nazi's and white supremacists. First Rule of Whiteclub is you don't talk about Whiteclub...

blacklist: noun - a list of people or things that are regarded as unacceptable or untrustworthy and should be excluded or avoided.
"The plague of racism is insidious, entering into our minds as smoothly and quietly and invisibly as floating airborne microbes enter into our bodies to find lifelong purchase in our bloodstreams" - Maya Angelou
The media should stop showing what that fool is saying. Of course, Crooked Donald (the "demonizer") wants all the "indulgences" anybody else can give him! I am near gagging from MSNBC forcing Crooked Donald down our throats. . . because Crook Donald (the demonizer) thrives in a cesspool where he sees any mention of his name as 'winning' the battle of messaging.
(Crooked Donald is playing the media again, and the media like the SAPS they are are giving "the demonizer" earned media galore! It should stop doing that. That is, if Donald wants 'face-time' on television let him pay for it.")
Trump doesn't really want to be President. What he wants, is unlimited wealth, ability to grift more, immunity going forward, adoration from a flock, no accountability for past crimes, and above all, legitimization of his self-professed grandiosity, all of which the presidency will give him. He does, however, need the presidency, at this point in time. The alternative for him, is prison. Or flight. All these discussions the press reports on every day, analyzing what Trump says, and what he'll do - they're not properly contextualized. He himself would be golfing and schmoozing and bloviating - period. It's the people he'd put in place and the ideologies he'd thereby empower (especially Vance), that's what would endanger the American experiment. Trump is but the emissary ... the carrier ... the parasite.

JD Vance brags about his endorsement from Marjorie Taylor Greene:
“The first really important endorsement that I got…was from Marjorie Taylor Greene. She's been a great friend of mine.”
I don't know about the whole earth because some people are pretty bad, but if the criterion are "is currently in the US," I would say that he is in the running.
=======================================
So this was while Melania was knocked up with the demon spawn.
Re: Senator Lisa Murkowski. She really can't be classidfied as a "Conservative" or as a "Liberal" ("Progressive"). She taken vary varied positions on various issues.
IIRC, a while back she ran for the Republican candidate for Senator-- and lost. So she ran as an independent in the general election.
But what I found interesting was-- after that, running as an independent, against both the Republican as well as the Democratic nominees-- she won the election!
She had always been a strong advocate for the rights of indigenous peoples in Alaska (the Inuit) and it was probably their votes for her that provided her margin of victory!
P.S: I never met her, but two of my closest friends at the time (both very "moderate" Republicans) were good friends with her, and said wonderful things about her.
Just found this:
Much of the Arctic, where Inuit live, became part of Canada in the 1880s. Canadian law did not mention Inuit voting rights until the 1930s, when these rights were denied.
Inuit got the right to vote in 1950.
I'm trying to find the comments from Kim Jong-Un, I don't know from where you posted them John, it could be in this article somewhere or another one you've posted, that were not favorable towards the former 'president' while in the past they were very favorable.
The home stretch is upon us. Less than 6 weeks to election day.
Add your current thoughts.
I will add to this blog every day between now and Nov 5
I will support you. Your labors (of love) here are strongly and daily recognized and appreciated. Your 'articles' are read and responded to considerably.
“Add your current thoughts.”
As the groundwork has already been laid in contesting the results, let us be clear in knowing that the process works. To deny the integrity of our elections, in desperate preemptive action, is to deny our heritage of free and fair participation in the democratic process. Now more than ever, your vote will never be more important.
And a belated happy birthday to you, JR…your passion is commendable.
i appreciate it
The chances the Trumpster Republicans wont try to suppress and subvert the vote hovers around zero.
he chances the Trumpster Republicans wont try to suppress and subvert the vote hovers around zero.
switch democrats fro trumpster republicans and the talking points are indistinguishable.
Welcome back!
I can't believe (or forgive) the GOP for foisting this extreme crooked liar upon voters for a third time!
they have proven they are spineless
Yes! I am going to resent the GOP for a long time, because of Donald Trump being its head. Just to know 'they' hate me that much explains my feelings.

Is that a blowup of one of the trading cards you bought ?
It is just a meme like the ones you posted.
I think that is the way it works, if you post them on your seed, then I can post them.
Am I correct?
You can post anything you want. It looks like one of Trump's ridiculous trading cards.
That is so fucking stupid and ridiculous.
The protector of women.
I believe the maga and the cult leader really do see it that way though.
Donald 'Armor All' Trump. . . no thanks! It's condescending to tell women they need a 'man' (and its old-fashioned).
In theory this could work. . . in practice . . . turns out it was not real and the imagery could not sustain itself. Of course, Crooked Donald would love women (and girls) to "reimagine' themselves as such "shiny and brand new" objectified. . . eye-candy all day-every day.
These women need a 'man' - because they are KEPT .
i am pretty sure girls and women have given up on the notion of being simple 'play-things' for their 'man' to come home to after work!
He is a predator and rapist - not a protector.
As soon as I saw the images in 5. 1. 5. I knew they were fake-- generated by AI, and a really bad job at that. (I've seen AI generated images that look real-- but these are poorly done).
Yeah, the 'statuesque head' and the cartoon legs giveaway the 'magic'!
Thing is, this is how Trump portrays himself now.
On top of his many negatives, he is a clown.
Well, Vance is certainly quite a character (as I'm sure many will agree!)
John Solomon is trash who was up to his neck in Giuliani's meddling in internal Ukrainian politics in 2019 , including the firing of the decent woman who was the US ambassador to Ukraine at the time.
The documentary From Russia With Lev shows this clearly.
Trump is trash too.
Trump's claim he directly authorized national guard troops on Jan 6th is a bald lie. Trumpism is a vast shame upon our nation.
I believe what will be revealed soon is why the maga king and the cult are so extra desperate and flailing and PD&D+deluding even more so than ever, if that's even possible, once the convicted felon rapist traitor conman's actions/non-actions are known.
True.
I remember it well-- here's what happened:
Larry Hogan, a moderate Republican who was the governor of the bordering state of Maryland at the time, when he saw what was happening, immediately put the MD National Guard on alert-- and told them to be ready to quickly move into The District when he gave the word. And they were totally prepared.
But, IIRC, that required approval from the Pentagon. The head of The Pentagon at that time was a Trump loyalist. So he procrastinated, allowing the insurrectionists to do their dirty work..
(I don't remeber the exact details of what happened next, but somehow the MD National Guard got the OK and moved in rapidly).
When the Republican insurrectionists saw the Guard approaching they rapidly fled the Capital....and the attempted insurrection failed.
I see.
good.
You see this is true.
Ya!
Trump said today that the world is in grave danger from "nuclear warming." The moron meant to say nuclear war.
Congratulations!
test
Test suceeded.
What a 'LOSER'!
After seeing Trump's claim that if he loses if will be the fault of "the Jews" I was curious-- so I googled and found that Jews make up less than 2.5 % of the U.S. population.
(That number is from 2020 and as a percentage of the population the number of Jews has been declining fairly rapidly-- so it smaller than that now).
So Trump's claim is totally inaccurate.
Agnorance on display
They must be eating all the maga brains also.....
That's why we've had all the flooding during the recent stretch of bad weather-- immigrants are not only eating the things we/ve already discussed-- but they're eating up the Asphalt on our roads!
("Everybody knows" that immigrants love eating up Iron and Steel-- that's why our bridges are all collapsing)
Yup-- blame the immigrants!
I once knew an "elite" who didn't eat dogs or cats.
And he/she/they/them hated babies as well.
So what did he/she/theythem eat?
Well they actually liked stones from the garden (and if they couldn't find actually stones they ate gravel-- even pebbles!!!)
So what's the significance of all this?
Well, its obviously yet another reason that everyone should vote for Trump!
Sounds like she is off her meds again
Imagine Harris, who was in charge of the border and allowed millions of illegal immigrants into our country, trying to criticize President Trump border policies with a quote from some rapper.
Trumpists can not prove this statement and its corresponding LIE (that she is a 'boder czar'). . . so they are LYING just like Crooked Donald has equipped them to LIE!
Perhaps (?)
But now that we had the Harris-Trump debate-- the entire wrapper had been removed!
And it now looks like he may be "goin' up the river"...to The Big House!
OK, I imagined it.
Now what should I do next-- remove the wrapper?
from Donald Trump's official website
This is a word salad ?
Trump must have never seen clips of one of his own rallies.
And then there are his supporters (There's a whole lotta confusion goin' on!)

Trump Suggests Putin Wants to End War, as Zelensky Looks On
“I’m sure President Putin wants it to stop,” Donald Trump said of the Russia-Ukraine war on Friday. President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine stressed that the war shouldn’t have been started.
Body language is 'everything' in that photo. Zelensky needs to play nice, but I can only imagine the things that this man as seen , read , and experiences since becoming president of Ukraine. . . that really makes a 'repeat' presidency for Donald all the more difficult to stand beside Crooked Donald (the Louse who would give this man's home land away).
BTW, though I know the situations are not the same. . . we can all see how. . . 'complicated' it is for Donald to let the smallest matter go in his own (un)professional and personal life—the man has 'scores' of lawyers and many series of court cases—starting up and continuing through the appeals process. . . and beyond.
How the hell would Crooked Donald feel if Mexico or Canada annexed (a red state) Montana or North Dakota? He would not accept that. . .indeed Crooked Donald would never stop talking about the Mexicans or Canadians who crossed the border to 'assault' and cause injury to the U.S.!
So what is Donald up to? He wants to end this with Machiavellian expediency because the rush would make him look like he is "what's happening" in the world today. . . and not somebody who has "jumped the shark."
A LYING MEME.
Ooh he's so brave. He's in love with Kim Jong but the feeling is not reciprocated.
Why would Kamala give Fux 'news' the time of day?
Trump "walked into North Korea":
Indeed he did!
Trump: I want ‘my people’ to ‘sit up at attention’ like in North Korea
When asked about whether Kim would be visiting the White House any time soon, Trump responded “it could happen.” He then went on to praise the dictator for being a strong leader.
In the wake of Trump’s summit with Kim in Singapore earlier this week, the president has called Kim “talented” and a “funny guy” with a “great personality”.
Ccomments that have sparked a backlash because of the atrocities Kim is accused of carrying out on his own people, including starvation and widespread imprisonment.
Trump continued to express nice thoughts about Kim on Friday, telling reporters the two “really hit it off” during the summit and that “we have a very good relationship with North Korea.”
Did you see how jd vance was not allowed in a restaurant in PA for a campaign event? Fucking hilarious. Got there with camera crews and everything and the establishment did not want them there and did not allow them in. Didn't want them using their restaurant for a campaign event. Ended up doing it in the parking lot.
He's got a great advance team!!!!
Exactly. What a jerk 'move' to show up unannounced to stage an event without proper authorization from the restaurant owner and management! It reminds me of the use of songs (being sued by Isaac Hayes son for improper use of "Hold on I'm coming") without proper permission. Improper preparation for 'duty' and being irresponsible is indicative of being unfit to serve as vice-president and president!
It really is abusive of senior trumpist voters to foist Crooked Donald on a new generation of youthful Americans. 'When the GOP send Donald back to the White House, they will not be sending their best.'
The Job Interview
Brilliant!
Certainly true in my adult lifetime. Although it is more difficult to speak of the others in history, chances are that they were all more intelligent given the requirements for office prior to Trump.
Hard to imagine the historical electorate support Trump as a candidate, much less nominee, much less President.
The 2024 electorate appears to have carved out a historical low-bar for who would be considered for PotUS.
That is the irony, eh? Some trumpists are so crooked that they would take a 'robber baron' and 'dictator lover' and 'liar' and 'cheat' . . . and 'thief' over a regular, hardworking, good president candidate who loves all the freedoms s/he can stand!
Questions for any some conservative (in here):
When did conservatives begin hating more freedoms?
When did freedom become a dirty/nasty word to conservatives?
Trump gives no indication he has above average intelligence.
As it turns out generally speaking conservatives have been bitching about the changes 'modernization' of the country for well over 50 years plus. These same folks have bitched about and against their own "moderate' run-of-the-mill conservative presidents and their selected conservative members that would ascend to the high court with a strict conservative outlook only to moderate/soften their opining and 'votes' once there.
Believe it or not. MAGA/trumpists and Donald 'found' each other. Here was an unprincipled, for all intents and purposes- unchecked fool, who auditioned for the role of GOP 'head' and presidential candidate who would do whatever it takes him to do to be remembered as anything but a LOSER. (Albeit it Crooked Donald will be remembered historically in nasty terms-just like his friend and confidant Roy Cohn. . . . What a disaster.)
Some conservatives want Crooked Donald. They know what/when/where/how/who Crooked Donald is. And they want him. This is no accident. Three times is the charm. As in they have selected Crooked Donald to be standard-bearer for the GOP on purpose. Indeed, they deliberately and with malice swept up anybody ("debris") that got/gets in Crooked Donald's way.
Let Crooked Donald be 'crooked.' It's A-OKAY' as long as he don't hurt a fellow trumpist!
It takes no special intelligence to make inconsistent lies. Spewing a series of lies is easy if one does not care if the lies contradict each other (and reality).
Crooked Donald has never once stopped LYING TO THE PUBLIC. His public has never stopped listening to him lie. Conclusion: Crooked Donald's supporters have been trained to accept the normalization of lies stacked up to 'high heaven.'
Why wouldn’t anyone believe it?
On a positive note: The media would do the nation a great service if they compel Crooked Donald to tell even more lies . . . until that LIAR HAS LIED so much that he can not keep them all 'straight' and it tasking him into a Living LIARS Hell on Earth!
Then, somebody can quietly push/wheel this LIAR into a corner of a nursing home or Mara Lago and 'let him be' - replaying memories of his greatest CONS on vulnerable people and rather 'madly' snickering to himself!
Trump has far passed the point where he is not keeping his lies straight. He has been contradicting himself for years now. It apparently does not matter to his supporters. Or, perhaps, they do not see the contradictions (plenty of ways for this to happen).
Well one thing is evidently clear: Crooked Donald is not a rubberstamp for Trumpists. He 'bows' his constituents and turns them into his public servants—not the other way around. Crooked Donald is helping himself! He is not remotely interested in being a proper public servant!
Crooked Donald is here for the "applause." God, I hope they can keep him from ruining this country farther this fall!
Kamala's Marxist plan:
This is taking a basic principle of helping people with barriers to pursue their ambitions. The basic principle of addressing conditions such as poor education so that driven kids with aptitude can actually build the skills and credibility to secure higher education.
To call that communism is absurd. It is a cynical, mangled generalization of the principle that helping people to achieve success is good for the nation.
What else is new ?
My biggest fear about this election is that all their lies will succeed. By this point in time all this lying is second nature to many people. Misinformation is everywhere. Trump could win on those basis. I wish it were inconceivable, but its not.
There are too many in the electorate who have a very distorted understanding of political reality. Many are just stubborn, simplistic voters who are going to vote for Trump because of some cultish view of him as a super hero. Others are so deep into partisan confirmation bias that they will not vote for a Democrat no matter what. Even if that means that Trump gets elected. And then there are those who ignore ALL of Trump's negatives because of a belief that his policies are good for the nation. On this last point, I can appreciate those who think Trump is better on the border, but those who think Trump's truly insane ideas such as raising tariffs as a means for the USA to generate massive revenue simply do not understand economics. They do not understand, for example, that tariffs are paid by importers who pass their extra costs onto consumers via the supply chain. They do not understand that tariffs will drive inflation upward. They do not understand that the USA is part of a global economy and this bully isolationism of Trump is irresponsible and, flat out, stupid.
Equity is a whole lot better than Mick Mulvaney (video host) sitting on his fat ass pretending to not understand what equity could do positively for the country (which by the way Americans are a community-not "competitors" for the same rights and resources) just so he can have a voice on a conservative news outlet.
Hey dumb-ass conservative Mick "Hard NO," helping the people stuck in the 'pond' with you to get equity, equality, and inclusion is not communism!
There appears to be no-bar too low for today's gop. The party of PD&D+Delusion and the defenders of the indefensible.
I think he is borderline mentally retarded. I'd bet his IQ is barely above 60.
It's imbecilic.
Some conservatives have spent my entire life trying to hold back cooperation for the good of all Americans. They simply don't want America to work, progress, and change for best of all its citizens. Thus, they pitifully throw their collective might behind a corrupt and crooked Donald Trump! A stupid "mothball" name Donald, is milking their collective 'teats' for personal gain (apparently Donald wants trumpists to make him the world's first 'trillionaire'?) and they just 'stand' there while he rapes their purses and wallets with trite rhetoric!
As an old man now I am tired of this and I declare 'no more Mr. Nice-guy'!
You have fight fire with flame retardant and preventive measures. That is - go on the offensive. Tell the truth without chaser. Just like they LIE without chaser!
No one knows for sure!
He knows more . . .
Did you even watch Krishna's video? Trump is irrational and living in his own alternate reality where he is the smartest person on the planet. Can you imagine any other candidate for PotUS for a major party saying anything close to the narcissistic, ego-maniacal crap illustrated in the video?
I don't need videos. I lived through 4 years of the Biden administration.
I don't have to say much about the past 4 years, do I? The dems had to replace Biden or lose the election.
Ya! Who needs facts and the truth?
What a disgrace! What I know is Crooked Donald is the most ridiculous and impossible man I have ever had the misfortunate to read about and see on television. I will NEVER forget or forgive the GOP for foisting this loud-mouth, empty-headed, weird, 'creepy-thing," upon a society that wanted to be civil and better. Because of him our great nation is planning, literally has a long-term strategy to debase itself before the world!
The point was about Trump. The Biden administration was a normal D administration. How can you possibly observe Trump with any sort of objectivity and think that this ego-maniacal scoundrel would be good for this nation?
Do you really want someone empowered with the US presidency who thinks he knows more than anyone else and who has demonstrated reckless, irresponsible behavior?
Here, Vic, is this this kind of rhetoric you want from a commander in chief of US armed forces??
This is probably the kind of s-it trumpists need less of. Stop looking for toxic s-it to spread into the sound-cloud! BTW, I know Levin is a big-s-it stirrer so I don't have 20 minutes to let him 'feed' me garbage. I will just go from my past listening of the toxic-talker who only sees the worse in people who he is COMPELLED to live with all his damn life!
We are 'stuck' on one another. Like it or lump it. Best try to find the good in every situation and work to make more of that than talking bull that keeps this country circling around the 'bowl' waiting for "God" to flush it. Because if 'God' was going to flush the 'bowl' it would have been done so already!
Correct.
Most democratic administrations were abstract failures, so by your post, the Biden admin is no different.....maybe even one of the worst.
The Biden administration was as radical as anyone could imagine.
As anyone with a pulse knows: They opened the borders, caused inflation and hardship with their out-of-control spending, made the country far less safe, used lawfare to go after political opponents, silenced opposing views & news stories on social media, intimidated parents, fled from Afghanistan and stood by while the middle east erupted into war and Russia invaded Ukraine.
There was nothing "small FUCKING D" about it!
[✘]
None of that is FUCKING TRUE, but what else is new?
Your zero hero will go down as the worst 'president' convicted felon traitor rapist cockkkroach in history!
So how about proving anything you say.
What an amazing distortion of reality.
True, but you exaggerate the living shit out of the consequences. The number of illegal immigrants in the USA remains between 10 and 12 million.
Neither party is fiscally responsible anymore. But Biden spent significantly less than Trump! Further, most of the inflation was a consequence of the pandemic.
How? Back to your border exaggeration again?
Absolute bullshit. Biden to not go after Trump. That is pure partisan (and obtuse) nonsense.
What??
What??
That was Trump's initiative. Blame Biden for the poor execution, not the idea of leaving Afghanistan unless you include Trump on that.
Stood by??
'10, 15, 20 million, no one knows'
The encounters have spiked but the number of illegals remains relatively stable.
Trump claims that Biden let in more illegals (double even) in his term than are actually living in the USA. And his supporters belief that crap.
Thanks for proving/providing the truth to those statements.
What continues to amaze me is how anyone can believe that nonsense.
They have all read ''Doomsday for Dummies''
Probably because even those illegals are human and many of them die while here and there is just another one to take their place. In Biden's case, 2 or 3 to take their place.
26.2.13
Yeah bugsy, the illegal immigration population in the USA has remained relatively stable because people die and new illegals continue to enter the USA. Good to see that you have that part under control.
Do you then recognize how absurd Trump's claims are? Do you see that Trump is claiming that more illegals (almost twice as many) came into our nation during Biden's term than there are illegals in our nation in total?
Or do you believe Trump?
Good for you agreeing to that point. Totally unexpected.
The most reported number by reliable sources is around 10 million since 2021. About 8-9 million encounters and probably a million got aways, but of course, there could be more than that because no one really knows.
This administration is a failure. Only pure partisans will see it another way.
Obviously despite all facts and truth to the contrary.
Why would agreeing with one of the most obvious facts of life surprise you?
Of course you do not see this, but deeming the Biden administration a failure and intending to vote for Trump (of all people) is precisely pure partisan.
Get a clue
[✘] Seeing how one administration is a failure, hence the vote for the other person is the farthest from being partisan.
Nope.
I, for one, can imagine more radical administrations than the Biden administration!
In other words, if a democrat (that is, Kamala Harris) said such profoundly irrational, ego-maniacal, and narcissistic. . . trumpists would mock it outright! And I am looking at Mark Levin, 'mister bombastic and crude conservative himself,' who accepts Crooked Donald's bull on its face! Just shows -us-Levin (26.2.1) is full of s-it before he opens his mouth to speak! And wants his listeners to be full of s-it too just like himself!
That is not strength to LIE and say he will blow up large cities in a foreign country over threatening a former president (AKA: "This person.") who is a selfish pig. The world outrage would be off the scale. No dumb-ass Crooked Donald can not 'rule' with fear and the might of this nation against his personal enemies. It would make more sense to say 'hold and jail' the president of Iran (then see what Iran does about that) than to say he will kill thousands or millions as some retaliation for someone going after his selfish pig self!
Nobody knows what's in that video!
(Until they watch it.)
And of course, the collective you are 'supposing' because it stirs the bull. . .to imagine things worse than they are.
Actually that's not true. Open borders are what we have between the states – free movement across state lines. The national borders are definitely not "open." The vast majority of migrant numbers reported are for encounters with CBP, they aren't just walking in freely.
That open borders thing is a frequent talking point on the right, but it's a flat out lie. Par for the course these days.
The true part is that Biden did indeed reduce border policies when he took office.
Biden killed the Migrant Protection Protocols which required migrants to stay in Mexico while the sought asylum, softened deportation to focus on the more criminal illegals, and stopped all work on the wall.
While I am not arguing these were bad or unjustified moves, they did indeed open the borders more from when Trump was in office.
And if by 'open borders' a Trump supporter actually believes that the borders are literally open, then there is no reasoning with them anyway ... they are entirely out of touch with the facts (and basic logic).
But that wasn't the claim.
Well, yeah. Exactly. That's made obvious here daily, like with Vic's post that you addressed. I guarantee that nothing you said in reply will matter. You'll see the same bullshit claims tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that.
That is how I read the claim. I gave Vic the benefit of the doubt that he was aware that the borders are not literally open and that his use of the verb 'opened' was relative to the condition at the end of the Trump term.
I fully agree. I never try to reason with a Trump supporter and never expect them to budge on their position.
Simple question.......
More than 8-9 million illegals came across during this admin without being vetted.
For you to believe the border is open, do you require a huge neon flashing "OPEN" sign at all of the borders because that is exactly how your comments insinuate?
Your fact is wrong; those are encounters (appx. 9.5 million of them). An encounter is different from an illegal immigrant who is now living in the USA.
How do you define an 'open border'? Do you think it means that illegals are free to just walk into the USA ... that they are not stopped by the border patrol?
Correct....
One does not get encountered unless one crosses the border illegally. Almost all of them are not vetted and released into the country with supposed court dates years in the future, ie, probably willnever show and never get booted.
So answer my question without once again deflecting.
Do you require a large neon "OPEN" sign at each border before you will admit the border is open?
"that they are not stopped by the border patrol?"
Millions are not. That is why they are called getaways.
You made that up. Deliver a credible source.
We know there was a spike in encounters so statistically there will be more gotaways under Biden. That does not mean that our border is open unless you have some special definition for 'open border'.
How do you define an 'open border'? Do you think it means that illegals are free to just walk into the USA ... that they are not stopped by the border patrol?
Biden’s top border official refuses to say illegal immigrants are vetted before release (msn.com)
How about from the mouth of Biden's top border official
" T he Biden administration's top border official declined to confirm that migrants who come over the southern border illegally are being vetted by federal law enforcement before being released into the United States."
Is the Washington Examiner lying?
" Do you think it means that illegals are free to just walk into the USA ... that they are not stopped by the border patrol?"
Apparently you do not pay attention to the news. There are multiple reports by many sources that show illegals walking across the border with no one stopping them. Some run, some turn themselves in because they know Biden will not turn them away, but to answer your question, something you rather deflect than answer a question posed to you is yes, .....illegals are free to walk across the border and not be stopped by Border Patrol.
If they were being vetted properly we wouldn’t have tens of thousands of illegals that have murder, rape, assault, or other felony records, in this country now.
Some leftists actually believe the Biden admin gives a shit who these people are.
The funny thing is when you ask any of them how many of these "vetted" illegals they have taken into their home to free up housing, the only answer I get is whoa, whoa, whoa....not in my backyard.
You would think that if they were truly vetted, these "sympathetic" leftists would be bending over backwards to help out these poor lost souls.
“Some leftists actually believe the Biden admin gives a shit who these people are.”
just my opinion but i think dems/biden only see them as future voters.
”The funny thing is when you ask any of them how many of these "vetted" illegals they have taken into their home to free up housing, the only answer I get is whoa, whoa, whoa....not in my backyard. ”
martha’s vinyard comes to mind. Not to say it doesn’t happen but if it does it is a rare occurrence. i have seen several dem politicians ask constituents to take illegals into their home but have not seen any reports that these same pols have done that, figures.
”You would think that if they were truly vetted, these "sympathetic" leftists would be bending over backwards to help out these poor lost souls.”
i would think these sympathetic leftists would jump to help Americans that need help before illegals but again, that doesn’t seem to be the case. But hey, we are talking about the America last crowd.
You claimed:
Your link does not support your claim.
Operate on fact rather than bullshit.
We know the border security is inadequate. There is no need to make ridiculous exaggerations. Indeed, hyperbole destroys credibility.
There are "tens of thousands" that have committed crimes out of the total 11 million or so that are here, most of whom have been here for quite some time, many who came during the Trump administration. You insinuate that it was somehow the Biden administration that should be held responsible for the "tens of thousands" which is frankly nothing but an intentional lie to try and wrongly attack the current administration for your own political purpose.
Trump sycophants misrepresent his actual record on undocumented immigrants every time they open their fucking mouths but I guess that's to be expected.
Actually, all "11 million or so" have committed crimes simply by coming here illegally.
My link supported every single word I posted. Because you are reading something different that does not fit your narrative s not my fault.

Some food for thought on the most significant elections in U.S. History
In order to be included in this list of the top ten presidential elections, a significant event had to impact the election's outcome or the election needed to result in a significant shift in party or policy.
This presidential election is considered by most scholars as the most significant in U.S. history because of its far reaching impact on electoral policies. The electoral college system from the Constitution broke down allowing Aaron Burr (1756–1836), the VP candidate, to be in contention for the presidency against Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826). It was decided in the House after twenty-six ballots.
Significance: Because of this election, the 12th Amendment was added to the Constitution changing the electoral process. Further, a peaceful exchange of political power occurred (Federalists out, Democratic–Republicans in.)
The presidential election of 1860 demonstrated that the institution of slavery was a dividing line in American politics. The newly formed Republican party adopted an anti-slavery platform that led to a narrow victory for Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865) and also set the stage for secession . Individuals who once associated with the Democratic or Whig parties yet were anti-slavery realigned to join the Republicans. Those from other parties who were pro-slavery joined the Democrats.
Significance: The election of Lincoln took the country towards the abolition of slavery and was the straw that broke the camel's back, leading to the secession of eleven states.
Another shift in political parties occurred with the presidential election of 1932. Franklin Roosevelt's Democratic Party came to power by forming the New Deal coalition that united groups that previously had not been associated with the same party. These included urban workers, northern Black people, southern white people, and Jewish voters. Today's Democratic Party is still largely comprised of this coalition.
Significance: A new coalition and realignment of political parties occurred that would help shape future policies and elections.
The presidential election of 1896 demonstrated a sharp division in society between urban and rural interests. William Jennings Bryan (Democrat, 1860–1925) was able to form a coalition that answered the call of progressive groups and rural interests including the indebted farmers and those arguing against the gold standard. William McKinley's (1843–1901) victory was significant because it highlights the shift from America as an agrarian nation to one of urban interests.
Significance: The election highlights the changes that were occurring in American society at the turn of the 19th century .
The presidential election of 1828 is often pointed to as the "rise of the common man." It has been called the "Revolution of 1828." After the Corrupt Bargain of 1824 when Andrew Jackson was defeated, an up-welling of support arose against back room deals and candidates chosen by caucus. At this point in American history, the nominating of candidates became more democratic as conventions replaced caucuses.
Significance: Andrew Jackson was the first president not born of privilege. The election was the first time that individuals began to fight against corruption in politics.
This election ranks higher than other disputed elections because it is set against the backdrop of Reconstruction . New York governor Samuel Tilden (1814–1886) led in popular and electoral votes but was one shy of the necessary votes to win. The existence of disputed electoral votes led to the Compromise of 1877 . A commission was formed and voted along party lines, awarding Rutherford B. Hayes (Republican, 1822–1893) the presidency. It is believed that Hayes agreed to end Reconstruction and recall all troops from the South in exchange for the presidency.
Significance: The election of Hayes meant the end of Reconstruction, opening up the country to the scourge of repressive Jim Crow laws.
The Election of 1824 is known as the 'Corrupt Bargain'. The lack of an electoral majority resulted in the election being decided in the House. It is believed that a deal was made giving the office to John Quincy Adams (1767–1829) in exchange for Henry Clay becoming Secretary of State .
Significance: Andrew Jackson won the popular vote, but lost because of this bargain. The election's backlash catapulted Jackson to the presidency in 1828, and split the Democratic-Republican Party in two.
The reason why the presidential election of 1912 is included here is to show the impact that a third party can have on the outcome of an election. When former president Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) broke from the Republicans to form the independent Bull Moose Party , he hoped to win back the presidency. His presence on the ballot split the Republican vote resulting in a win for the Democrat, Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924). Wilson would go on to lead the nation during World War I and staunchly fought for the "League of Nations," an idea not supported by Republicans.
Significance: Third parties cannot necessarily win American elections but they can spoil them.
The Election of 2000 came down to the electoral college and specifically the vote in Florida. Because of the controversy over the recount in Florida, the campaign of former vice president Al Gore (born 1948) sued to have a manual recount. This was significant because it was the first time the Supreme Court got involved in an electoral decision. It decided that the votes should stand as counted and the electoral votes for the state were awarded to George W. Bush . He won the presidency without winning the popular vote.
Significance: The after-effects of the 2000 election can still be felt in everything from constantly evolving voting machines to greater scrutiny of elections themselves.
After George Washington's retirement, there was no unanimous choice for president. The presidential election of 1796 demonstrated that the fledgling democracy could work. One man stepped aside, and a peaceful election occurred resulting in John Adams as president. One side effect of this election which would become more significant in 1800 was that due to the electoral process, arch-rival Thomas Jefferson became Adams' Vice President.
Significance: The election proved that American electoral system worked.

Wow I really didn't think through my vacay to Florida, I'll be arriving just in time for the riots and civil war to begin.
Crooked Donald the reckless, tone-deaf, and lacking any authority to do anything empowering for the storm ravaged-TROLL!
We thank Crooked Donald for this reminder of why the country can not STAND this from him for another four years!!!
What's funny about that is I believe the reverse is true, though most of Trumps supporters refuse to admit it...
"My support for Trump is not about politics. This isn't about whether I'm a liberal or a conservative, Democrat or Republican. It's about me not being a decent human being, embracing bigotry, misogyny, racism, and supporting an obnoxious, disgusting person who represents MY America. The America of the confederacy, the America of Jim Crow, the America when women couldn't vote, blacks couldn't get a bank loan or buy a house in most areas and white Christian males were large and in charge...".
I'm not sure how you get a lot of votes by saying you refused to pay overtime to people who earned it, but good luck with that Trump.
It does not seem to matter.
He shits all over the military yet vets vote for him.
He shits all over labor yet the workers vote for him.
He shits all over women yet women vote for him.
He shits all over minorities yet minorities vote for him.
It really is incredible. By any historical measure, Trump would have never hit single digits in a primary for a minor office.
Crooked Donald wins with his supporters because he champions their causes and appears to win against liberals - by focusing on his supporters points of view and forcing his way.
That is, liberals and progressives continue to 'enjoy' a notion that they can win over the Right (me included at varying times), when actually Crooked Donald and his 'mob' of millions are, from their perspective, engaging in 'holy' and fierce political warfare with us!
Yes, it is the case that 70 million plus U.S. citizens more or less or waging political warfare against their fellow Americans. They do not like 'us' or what we represent. Thus, they lie, mock, denigrate, insult, do not wish us well, and are vulgar - even harmful towards 'us.'

Here's how stupid Trump is - he wore a red MAGA hat when he visited with hurricane victims today. That ends all suspense about whether this was a campaign stop.
Joe's on the beach. Kamala's raising money from Hollywood and getting clowned online for taking an obviously staged photo to make it look she's working.
I think he's fine.
They are observing standard practice. Dont visit a disaster scene until the emergency has passed. Only delusional MAGA would criticize them for that.
Meanwhile Trump blatantly campaigned among the grief torn and the existentially anxious.
Right. That's exactly what the left was saying when Ted Cruz didn't stay for the blizzard.
Flip, flop.
When the disaster happens in the State you were elected to represent you're not necessarily supposed to go out to the victims immediately, but your constituents expect you to be working to get the funding needed for them instead of running off to Cancun while they're all still knee deep in water.
What Trump did was nothing but a photo op which he clearly saw as a campaign event since he was wearing his campaign hat while taking up the first responders time while getting exactly nothing done to help anyone. His visit only hindered the first responders rescue mission.
It's even worse than that (potentially). As Crooked Donald exposed himself too much to open spaces in Georgia for the sake of a photo op. Had anyone saw his "openness" as an occasion to take a "free" _______ you know what. . . that arrogant fool would have been seriously hurt or. . . as the saying goes: 'third times the charm!"
And remember this, we have all heard that expression ("third times the charm"). . . meaning each time Donald exposes himself (needlessly) to someone wanting to hurt him. . . the 'group' intellect clocks more information about how those around him operate.
Better he listens to his handlers and stop with the campaign "sudden-ness."
No doubt in my mind you would criticize him no matter what he was wearing.
Unhealthy Trump infatuation is not good for the soul.
Why do you care so much that so many people loathe Trump?
He is after all running to be the President of the United States!
The only people that loathe Trump boils down to one fact....he beat Hillary. That's it. Nothing else. The hatred just built up from there and is now irreversible.
Keep telling yourself lies then get back with us November 6th!
How about listing those "lies"
My post stands as fact.
Pure delusion.
Facts?
Never.
Why make such an outrageously dumb claim? To what end? I am pretty sure most Ds do not even think of Hillary anymore. Quite likely they are against Trump for merit … his unconstitutional, illegal behavior, abysmal character, and malignant narcissism.
your opinion is noted
Ahh, is that why Harris and Biden have avoided the area? She doesn't want it to be seen as campaigning?....
Her campaign is afraid they may get cornered and have to answer questions.
If I were a Harris donor, I would be pissed that these staffers are getting paid to do absolutely nothing because their candidate is kept hidden.
Crooked Donald ('the Burnout') went 'big-footing' into Georgia today in a vain attempt to upstage the sitting president Joe Biden and V.P. Harris. Biden and Harris acted wisely in order to avoid too much disruption and other hindrances occurring to rescues and emergency services repairs done in affected towns, cities, and states.
Lol..
Exactly what the press and democrats said when George Bush didn't go to New Orleans after Katarina, right?
That is not a 'complaint.' I saw the image of George Bush looking from 'the plane' at the disaster and agreed there was no place for a procession and 'pagentry' on the roads of Katrina 'aftermath.'
As to those whom brought the case against him: See them. It has nothing to do with people like me. BTW, I voted for George W. Bush the first time 'around' as president!
Crooked Donald was out of line to get in the way of a sitting president. He looks like a damn befuddled fool (and a little less so- Franklin Graham and his organization, "Samaritan's Purse." (I have given donations to that charity fund too back in the early 2000s before the 2008 recession.) Now Franklin Graham is 'tooling' and sharing it for political purposes and its disgusting and so is he.
There was some doubt?
Kinda like Obama and hurricane sandy huh?
Regardless of what he wore on his head, he did something that Biden and Harris have not done...He was there. He didn't just issue pathetic statements while hanging out on a beach or fundraising in San Francisco and Vegas.
How much did Biden and Harris donate to rebuilding the effected areas of TN and NC?
Please God don't tell me he threw paper towels to anyone, the leftwing media will lose their minds and accuse him of battery.
Since when is "being there" doing something?
It's called moral support. SMH
LOL!
It's a show of support. You know, the opposite of what Biden and Harris are doing.
Maybe the area should start flying Ukraine flags to get something from this failure administration.
You think the president and the vice president of the United States dont care about hurricane victims? There is something wrong with people who think like that. Maybe they are in a cult or something. Do you think people actually care if Trump showed up in his 2000 dollar suit and red tie and hat? to do what? what did he do?
That's exactly what they've displayed.
Unlike Biden and Harris, he showed up. They don't care how he dressed. Don't know why you are hung up on his attire. It's kind of creepy.
What's so fucking funny?

C'mon, Jim. America has never been mundane and those that believe that, I question their patriotism
Lot of rain and wind but nothing NEAR to what my neighbors to the north and west got. It wiped out my wife and my favorite town of Chimney Rock. Sad for all. Terrible. Next time they say tropical storm, I hope people remember this one and heed the warnings. I don't think anyone anticipated the strength of this one.
I'm very sorry. It sounds awful
the victims had lot's of warnings and plenty of time to evacuate. if it's not climate change, it must be god's will ... /s
Sort of like superfluous "thoughts and prayers" - shows "kinship" - but you can't eat it or take it to the bank! Another way to "spin it"!
On Wednesday, the OFFICIALS show up (that have not shown up already as some were on the various scenes before Helene's arrival) and they come bearing proper gifts!
Fake outrage.
When Crooked Donald showed up so did 'mass-quanitities' of LIES!!!! The day turned into LIARS PALOOZA!!
Some of these 'victims' don't trust people who say: "I'm from the government and I'm here to help!' So they got caught flat-footed as the saying goes.
What is the saying?
Yeah, we've seen that a lot from the left.
And Biden stayed on vacation. Not much of a leader now is he.
Except that President Biden was in the White House Situation Room overseeing the air defense of Israel all day yesterday!
Putting other countries ahead of the people he's supposed to represent. Not much of a leader.
I’ll bet that he has the newer version, Missile Command: Recharged.
I don't think anyone expected a hurricane to come 300 miles in land. They could have asked me. I lived thru Hurricane Agnes in 1972. I lived in Tioga County, PA at the time. That hurricane came right up the Susquehanna river valley and caused mass flooding all over the northern half of PA.
What? He doesn't have a double so he can be in 2 places at one time???
Trumpists are not here for facts (remember they WHINE about 'fact-checking' of all things!). Folks not liking facts are just too weird.
But, but, . . . it's Israel and we know Crooked Donald has done many transactions with Israel. It would be a failure for any president to not personally heed Israel's urgent calls!
Is that supposed to make me change my statement? It doesn't. You haven't given me any reason to.
The saying goes: "Haters got to hate."

Trump's idea of helping out -

Depends.

Who is going to honor democracy and who is going to honor Donald Trump?
Walz would not violate the CotUS by tabling certified election results. Apparently Vance still maintains that he would honor Trump over the CotUS.
Vance's biggest problem is that he is tied at the hip with a scoundrel.
Generally though, this has been a good debate. It was presidential and civilized. Both were articulate and made their points.
I agree. Hell, I would agree to that even if Donald could surpriise me and be articulate and civilized. I can give props when/where due. No skin off me for doing so. Does not mean I will vote for an all-around Loser, nevertheless!

Trump doesnt dispute that he did everything charged in the indictment, he just says "so what".
The media should stop showing what that fool is saying. Of course, Crooked Donald (the "demonizer") wants all the "indulgences" anybody else can give him! I am near gagging from MSNBC forcing Crooked Donald down our throats. . . because Crook Donald (the demonizer) thrives in a cesspool where he sees any mention of his name as 'winning' the battle of messaging.
(Crooked Donald is playing the media again, and the media like the SAPS they are are giving "the demonizer" earned media galore! It should stop doing that. That is, if Donald wants 'face-time' on television let him pay for it.")
