...and back to this shtick. Unlike most around here, I'm pretty honest. I troll you and bust your balls because I didn't like you on FBGs and I think it's funny. Your "trademark" shtick was dumb there but at least made me laugh a little. This place just made you oddly obsessed with gloryholes and dudes sucking on cack. I guess maybe you just always were, but Joe's rules wouldn't allow you to be your true self? Like I said - I'm pretty honest. I've told you I will ignore you too if you switched back to your TM shtick, but you don't and you @ me, so I guess you think it's funny too. I don't know why you and others care so much about others posters that you go to other sites, dig up old posts to quote, etc. That's focking weird, and yeah - I feel justified calling people out on that. BlueHorse was creepy as hell and did it to multiple posters, strike and tony are obsessed with tim's crap on fbgs too, and you made your post about what he was doing fbgs some morning. Point me to any of my "fellow cult members" posts where they have gone to other sites to dig up crap on people and I will call them creepy POSs too.

1. I don't like you or HT, so it's funny to me to bust your balls and it's funny when people bag on that other idiot. 2. He didn't go to another site and post about HTs activiites there - which if you could read or understand posts, that's what I was laughing at you about doing to tim, not that you knew if he has 100K+ posts. ETA: 3. HT has actually posted about looking at the leaderboard and caring about that, making it extra funny to me. Anybody averaging 20+ posts a day on these sites needs to get a hobby or something.

Ironic that the party of law and order/personal responsibility has 0 issues getting behind somebody who has 0 concept of either thing.

You made a big deal about it, he can't give you the satisfaction.

Gotcha, no worries.

Thanks for an actual answer. That is about what I had in mind.

Ok, so what were you watching that had this included as an example?

Of course that didn't answer my question. Stuff like this show up in your feed? Did you search for a similar video? Was it an example from someone else you follow, what?

How the hell do you guys come across these stupid videos?

And people on the right try so hard to pretend there was 0 going on besides selfies, or the bolded. As with most things, nobody with their partisan heels dug in can be truthful about much. This is the state of America - point fingers elsewhere while your "team" does most of the same things. Why is it so hard for people to say things like both groups were idiots who were lied to by their partisan media who when given the opportunity, many showed their true colors by devolving into violence and destruction with a healthy dose of anti-police sentiment? This is just more of the "they started it first!" b.s. that is so common around here. Well, the lefties downplayed the riots so I guess the righties will just call 1/6 a selfie tour.

For sure. We need maximum realism from our blockbuster movies based on amusement park rides!

Of course. It seems our main difference and my difference with the board at large is that I don't believe at the end of the day either party gives two crap to their objections. IMO we as a country were comfortable with that level of encounters - 300K-400K/year. That is nothing specific with Trump policies, as that was happening other other administrations. That is also not near a "closed" border, as even those levels allowed us to backlog to years long waits for asylum claims and the issues that come with illegals. So talk of closed borders is dumb from the start and to believe that any politician would do that is, IMO even dumber.

Again, we disagree on this being a main motivator for people in power. IF they think that they are stupid, hell trends are showing this population moving more and more from the Democrats as well. I guess I see why you guys want to believe that, but I am still of the opinion that boths sides care way more about the almighty $. Who wins when you have cheap labor? The 1%, lobbyists for big Ag, company profits - need I go on? Start tracing the money - there are powerful companies who profit on locking these people up and the deportation of them - you think they want the border shut down? American working class a little with cheaper goods, but that is offset by the below... Who loses when you have cheap labor? Mostly the American poor and working class as these people eat up jobs on the cheap and take a away resources. So I ask you - where do you disagree with my assessment above, and who do you think have the real power in the country and which side is going to win in the long run. Yes, most of us care when the border and our cities are being overrun. My position is neither side truly cares too much to close it off completely, they are happy playing the political football for us rubes while they squeeze as much profits out as possible.

To me, that doesn't account for the huge rise before his policies like Remain in Mexico and other Trump policies in 2019, which brought the numbers down. So I don't think you are correct here. Unless I am missing a key piece of info that Trump took away policies from the Obama era causing that spike that he had to correct, I think it's more accurate to say that some combo of Obama + Trump was needed to just maintain keeping it at that level after seeing it spike. Now, you can debate back and forth if you agree with Remain in Mexico, but that was a primary reason for that drop. Hard to have encounters when they have to wait on the other side. I don't get how you can't place the blame on Biden for reversing that. OR at the very least, like we have seen him do elsewhere - do something without a plan. Remain in Mexico shouldn't have been reversed without a countering plan to keep the encounters at a maintainable level. All this is on Biden. He acted like all he cared about is points from the idiot base for reversing Trump policies, no plan, and we see what the result is.

Holy sh1t, we are getting into The Onion territory here. What does that read on the side of the flamthrower - "liberal tears"?

Nevermind. Another poster that doesn't even read posts they quote.

Is that just a guess, or is there something to back that up? When I imagine the border being like some here seem to want - close the border, kick out all illegals - I think about all the industries that would effect as far as consumer cost and stock prices that rely on those cheap wages. I'm not sure I agree with your stance, but that's just opinion. I'd like more reading on that.

1. Of course it has to do with Biden and his policies. The numbers are astronomical compared to other administrations recently that is on Biden and his choices. 2. We can't know that. It's just as likely he numbers hovered near the 2020 numbers or above, still not as bad as Joe's. Like I said to me what the data says is that Trump isn't any better or worse than Obama or Bush so touting him as "closing" the borders or fixing the solution is silly. Also the timing is similar in that he dropped those numbers right before the election, just like Biden is trying to do. Weird the Trumpers don't understand either thing, all they can come up with is "but Biden!".

Lol, no sh1t . That was in the chart I linked and I said the border is a sh1t show under Biden. Way to not respond to my post or any point I was making.

I assume you are talking about his 2017 numbers. Which is before allowing the highest spike in a decade, leading to the policies that people are touting around here like Title 42 and Remain in Mexico, then the numbers dropped again. Then they were back down to what they had been for most of the decade. Just think it's odd to take credit for that low number, but not admitting it was before he allowed that spike that led to policies I assume you like. Also it's odd that those policies and drop also came right before an election, but that never seems to be honestly admitted by his followers either. Yes, the border under Biden is way worse and the border is a sh1t show now. I just think it's funny that people tout Trump as a one of a kind border hawk when after his policies he didn't even have as low as numbers as the previous administration.

Exactly this. The point isn't who Tucker is interviewing or what he is reporting on, he fully admits to lying to his audience for ratings and clicks. It's funny that people still follow him and link him so much on here, especially the same people that post the dumb stuff like "the lefties need people to lie to them" shtick. I'm sure THIS time he isn't fleecing you for outrage and attention, guys.

I know it's good shtick for you and other to pretend the bolded is true about me. Hell, it makes me laugh most of the time. But you know that's the difference between me and Trumpers, oh sorry -"America first" conservatives. I don't care who Tucker interviews, its his show. Again, your 2nd paragraph doesn't apply to me no matter how much you want it to. My position was that you guys turn to him, Fox, and X for info while bagging on "the left" for turning to CNN and crap reporting.

Hey, we got some Alex Jones links. I know he wouldn't lie!

This board is littered with Trumpers and Fox news links. That doesn't seem to fit your post here. Or is this like a RINO thing, and those linking to Fox aren't real Trumpers? It's still linked much less than X around here, which is worse for "info", and even you were smart enough to avoid from my post.

Have we tried thoughts and prayers yet?
