The Real timschochet

I read they were but I could be wrong. Other than those he hasn’t lifted any. Not a good thing.

This isn’t over the line at all. What Texas is trying to do is over the line. And they’re not protecting their constituents they’re hurting them. IMO

@Dozer FBG and Dr. Mengele…yeah I can see it. Sure.

Maybe he’s not as alpha as you think. Maybe you’re not either.

Some WTO aircraft tariffs, none of the rest, unfortunately. But Trump wants a whole bunch of new ones particularly a 10% tax on all imports which would be a complete disaster. Biden at least doesn’t want that.

He was not found guilty of sexual assault? Maybe it was sexual abuse? Should I really care about these distinctions?

Well first off I didn’t sue him. But second if you mean they hate liberals more than they love him- I think you’re probably right about that. But what can I do? That’s their problem.

I don’t know crap about this case. Haven’t really followed it. All I know is that he was found guilty, by a unanimous jury, of sexual assault. And I know he’s whining about it as usual. And I know that you think he’s an alpha and are planning on voting for him again.

Apparently a jury disagrees with you.

But don’t worry MAGA fans. You can always contribute more money to his defense fund and help Trump pay this sum. He wants you to. lolololol

Well this is an interesting take.

When I read the title I thought this would be about tariffs. But no, wrong President. (Biden hasn’t been good on tariffs but not nearly as terrible as the last guy.) This is really minor compared to that.

He’s a sexual assaulter. I’m glad he has to pay but he really deserves to be in prison.

Because I thought you were asking a broader question about the source of undocumented immigration. And lol, but I really don’t care about wasting your time. If you’re posting in this thread you have time to waste.

Thank you. It says a Biden advisor told Axios they are worried about losing young voters. Obviously this is true. But you implied that Biden either told Netanyahu that directly, or that this worry was the impetus for Biden’s actions. That’s a false interpretation. Biden has real concerns about Israel’s actions as well he should. Israel appears to have no plan for victory and no plan for afterwards.

As I feared, this war has become a quagmire for Israel. They appear to be no closer to destroying Hamas than when they started, but are managing to alienate the rest of the world by indiscriminately bombing and killing civilians. There is no plan for what happens to Gaza afterwards. The point of all this was to make Israel safer and more secure and to try and prevent what happened in October from ever happening again. I would argue that none of these goals have been met, and that Israel is less safe than before.

Since you’ve been asking me for links this morning you won’t mind me asking you for a link for this, in which Biden specifically mentions losing young voters in November.

@TheNewGirl makes thoughtful posts from time to time and I think she’s well-meaning. I’m also not sure she’s a full MAGA person though she’s certainly conservative. Unfortunately she has consistently misunderstood my motives but perhaps that’s my own fault for not expressing myself clearly: To be honest with you I don’t see much of a difference between “Megatard” and “Megaturd”, lol. I also disagree with you about San Fran but that’s a different issue.

And I‘m not sure I want them “cracking down”. I don’t trust the Mexican police to be humane or respect human rights, do you? I want to deal with this situation and I’m willing to make concessions toward the conservative viewpoint of security first. But I’m not willing to go along with inhumane treatment whether by us or Mexico.

James Clavell’s first novel, based on his real life experiences as a POW in Singapore. Part of the Asian Saga. Great great read.

Read my post again. I said I couldn’t find that, but it’s not really important since I agreed with you about securing the border. Again, you seem more interested in scoring points than you do in actually discussing solutions.

There are folks coming here seeking asylum, and there are folks coming here sneaking across the border. And there are folks coming here legally and overstaying their visas. And there are folks coming here pretending to seek asylum but just using that as an excuse. These are all different categories and should be addressed as such.

I’m gonna have to take off here for some time. I appreciate the discussion, minus the personal insults. I want to try and fix this problem. I do have more sympathy for undocumented immigrants than most people here, but I acknowledge the situation is untenable. I also acknowledge that neither Biden nor the Democrats have done a good job addressing this. The politicians on both sides, including Biden and Trump, seem more interested in using this issue to win votes in November than they are in actually coming up with workable solutions. But that’s nothing new.

No. And for you to write this indicates you really don’t understand the SC or our legal system.

Here’s one: https://www.npr.org/2019/01/10/683662691/where-does-illegal-immigration-mostly-occur-heres-what-the-data-tell-us Here’s another but it’s from 2006: https://www.pewresearch.org/hispanic/2006/05/22/modes-of-entry-for-the-unauthorized-migrant-population/ On the specific question of how many undocumented come hidden on trucks through legal points of entry vs coming across rivers and open areas, I’m having trouble finding specifics. I have read before that many if not most come hidden in trucks but I can’t find that data. In any event so long as we’re not slowing down legal trade through legal points of entry I have no problem with securing the border. Now a lot of folks on your side use language like “close the border” or “shut down the border”. If that means closing down legal entry points then obviously I’m opposed.
