Libs would likely be delighted, because that hot mess would destroy their opposition. Other than the fact he's not even a congressman, unlike the shifty Democrats, when writing the charter for the Republican Party, Honest Abe was smart enough to include a rule against any member serving in congress if they're under indictment. Although these things would exclude him from the position, that's not to say his rabid fans wouldn't beg for the house to make an acception for their "slightly less honest" Trump. F me running, after 4 yrs of Mr. Toad's wild ride, I've had enough. I wouldn't let that guy anywhere near the podium of any branch of government. Not even to clean it. Well, maybe if he was waring a French maid outfit and a huge blond wig. 1 Quote Link to comment

After 4 years of the Great Biden America Giveway and preparation for Socialist/Communist takeover, I miss, long for and dream of the return of the belligerent, self centered, ego manic, debutante Trump. There are quips and debates over various programs, policies, agencies and it often boils down to some interpretation of some code or precedent and even those "winning" the argument (as if some of them are even winnable) are forced to conceded an issue or two BUT, there is no justification, no rationalization for leaving the door to the country unlocked! I see no need to debate the merits of this shit or that shit because the open boarder outweighs any and all. 3 Quote Link to comment

Over and over I've seen any and all rational debate boiled down to some renewed interpretation of how damaging illegal immigration is to our country. You really want this shit to stop? Why not scream for immigration reform so if employers were held criminally accountable for hiring them ILLEGALLY they wouldn't be able to find work, and the incentive to come here illegally is gone. Why won't our government pass it, because our industrial and manufacturing economy runs on cheep labor with no worker's rights. That's why immigration reform has been harpooned before a bill even reaches the floor. For corporations, the system is working fine. For the government who racks in their income and SS tax, the system is working fine. Is this fair for Americans, F no, but regurgitating political hyperbole isn't going to fix anything and neither will a wall. You've got to cut off the source of money that drives them here in the first place. As long as that carrot is dangled, nothing will change. Edited October 7, 2023 by paradime 3 Quote Link to comment
john510 Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 It's the employers fault we have an illegal invasion.It has nothing to do with some dumbass inviting them here,tearing down the wall and even welding border gates OPEN to assist the illegal (future Democrat voter) getting into our country.Oh never mind.They don't need an employer because we're giving them medical benefits and roughly 2,200 bucks a month to live on.And there are already laws in place about hiring illegals.They arent strictly enforced often enough. 3 Quote Link to comment

I have a friend with a big landscaping company. He said if the government took illegal immigrants paperwork seriously the bird feeder would be empty and they would stop coming. He just has to have copy of whatever fake paperwork they have and it is a wink and nod that he has done " his due diligence" checking and there are no legal repercussions to him hiring folks that may not be legal. That being said he pays them well and they work thier asses off. No Gringo will or can strap a leaf blower to thier back in the South Florida sun and work all day in that heat. A realistic work visa system that would make coming to the us going back south would be much better than the anarchy we have now. It would serve our labor shortage and workers would be more likely to go home after they made thier money knowing they don't have to sneak back in. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Dude, it's an election season and politicians are playing the same predictable game we've all seen before. From the same administration who comemed the wall in 2020. Now that they're taking political heat, what happens? Biden to build more US border wall using Trump-era funds, WASHINGTON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden's administration said on Thursday it will add sections to a border wall to stave off record migrant crossings from Mexico, carrying forward a signature policy of former President Donald Trump. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-build-new-barriers-roads-texas-border-area-2023-10-05/ It's as pathetic as it get's but should come as no surprise. It's how the game is played. Quote Link to comment

I knew the minute it was announced about Biden building some border wall what it was about.All part of the plan with perfect timing to gather votes.People (with help from the media) will soon forget how many illegals entered the country before Biden started to give a shit.Now he's a hero for trying to secure the border.It makes me sick. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

john510 Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 Biden's next move will be to lessen restrictions on fossil fuel exploration and even open up more leases for exploration.I say in less than six months he turns around on that stuff. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Why not go to the root of the problem?Debt repayment companies take over these loans,& keep raising the interest rates,making it impossible to pay off in a short time. Why not have the government make these loans at 0 (or low)%? If you don't repay it,you would probably have them & the IRS on your back.BIG incentive to repay them. 1 Quote Link to comment

Also interesting is that after 128 years, bankruptcy reform was passed a few months before the 07-08 banking collapse. One rule change was school loans wouldn't be forgiven under ("chaperons", WTF is my dictation software worth?) Chapter 11. Funny how it's almost like they knew what was coming, and that they'd be getting paid off with HUGE corporate welfare checks making them even more too bigger to fail. Please note the use of sarcasm font. Follow the money and the stench of rotting fish is overwhelming. Truly, the FTC and DFPI have become two of the most fecless toady agencies ever conceived. In the past 30+ years they've done nothing but protect bank and corporate interests from the public interest. Edited October 7, 2023 by paradime 1 Quote Link to comment

I still wonder why we didn't blow those Taliban Terrorists off the face of the earth as they were out in the open advancing the re-takeover after we left. Was this planned so they could do that?
