The Real timschochet

I did. I just posted a comprehensive article . While it does discuss some growing pains on the community like more car accidents (without the bigoted explanation you offered) it refutes your main points and discusses the net economic benefits.

It really isn’t. Unfortunately @jerryskids is repeating xenophobic falsehoods here. Here is an article from Reuters which contradicts his assertions: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/haitian-immigrants-fueled-springfields-growth-now-us-presidential-debate-2024-09-11/

Actually he did. According to the Wall Street Journal he sent his people to investigate; they were told by the lady that the cat had been found. JD learned this and decided to publicly double down on the lie anyhow.

Do you have any evidence for any of this? I can accept the argument that social services have been taxed but I’m skeptical that anyone already there has been directly affected. The part about them not driving well and causing accidents sounds like total bullsh!t and I doubt you have anything but anecdotes loosely offered. Same for taking jobs away. I suspect that since these folks were invited there to fulfill a real economic need, that it’s the opposite of your assertions: they’re actually a boon to the economy of the region. And the antipathy to them is based on xenophobia and racism.

Normally I would call this out as totally bigoted, but since I detest the Patriots and Celtics, I can kind of see the merits here.

This is the same Congress that won’t pass a budget right? That has us headed for a shutdown?

Not to mention that these people aren’t undocumented either. They’re here legally. The fact that the MAGA folks keep calling them “illegal”, and conflating them with those who come across our borders, is a huge tell. It completely makes a lie of the folks who always argue “I’m for immigration so long as it’s legal.”

OK. Can you discuss in detail the “significant impact” you speak of here? Putting aside the pet myth, how have the people already living there been negatively affected? My assumption is that they haven’t been negatively affected, and that this whole supposed issue is rooted in fear, xenophobia, and racism. But feel free to prove me wrong.

Harris leads by 9 points there. If that’s in play, then so is Texas, Florida and Iowa. (The last two might really be in play.) You know what state Trump thinks is in play? New York .He’s campaigning there today. Brilliant move.

Teamsters are salt of the earth people, nicest guys you’re ever gonna meet. I’ve known a few and they’re awesome, They got this one wrong. They think Trump would protect their interests. They like the tariffs. Understandable but short-sided. That’s all right. Harris will win but it will work out OK for the Teamsters anyhow.

Maybe this cut will help prices go down?

Interest rate cut should help Kamala as well.

You’re so full of crap. Carry on.

Not bad news for me. I like it when members of Hezbollah die. I hope no children or innocents were hurt.

What misery?

This post ignores that Republicans have been giving away money for decades and that Trump is promising to do more of the same. The only difference is who the money is being given to.

So Trump is losing and he knows it. And he also knows that if he loses he’s likely eventually going to prison for the rest of his life. It’s already ugly but expect it to get far far worse. Expect something shocking to happen I don’t know what. But something big will come and it will be unpleasant. Trump will not go down quietly.

Yes you reminded me of that comment dozens of times, so I took your advice. Now I look at aggregate polls. You were right then. Why are you choosing to ignore them now and cherry pick?

Creepy dude. You sound like Elon.

Because I don’t cherry pick. I’m looking at aggregate polling. 538, etc. Isn’t that what you lectured me to do? As far as favorability ratings most polls show hers has risen and his has not. I’m sure you know this.

I don’t defend Hamas ever. Or Hezbollah which if you paid attention you would know this attack was against. And I think Israel should take actions against both: But cautiously, with an eye on the future, and with the attempt to avoid killing as many civilians as possible. Netanyahu hasn’t done any of this. He has fought this war the way our General Westmoreland fought Vietnam (look it up): stupidly, making things worse.

Guy has no idea what he’s even saying anymore. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-anwr-alaska-bagram-afghanistan-1955496

That’s certainly part of it. But actually in this case the threat is a lot more immediate.

Israel is less safe tonight because of this attack. It will not, IMO achieve the security that Israel so desperately wants and needs. Killing small children only serves to radicalize Israel’s enemies even more. A growing number of Israelis understand this and despise what Netanyahu is doing.

Wrong. I have been a huge supporter of Israel my entire life. I think actions like this make Israel less safe not more. There are plenty of Israelis that agree with me on this.
