  1. Not a fan of Moss subbing for Motor. Only when Motor needs a break.
  2. We got people defending this psycho. Take it to PPP to like minded people.

  4. These are better than last weeks embarrassing predictions. 😜
  5. Mitch McConnell has no clue what to do with his absurd party anymore shouldn't you be planning a civil war for when the turd gets charged? Being a traitor is protected under the First Amendment! waaaaaaaa....!
  6. Republicans campaigning for office are running ads that hammer President Joe Biden’s management of the U.S.-Mexico border. They claim that the administration is using planes to fly "illegal immigrants" around the country. Republican Tyler Kistner, making his second consecutive campaign for a U.S. House seat in Minnesota, made his claim about skullduggery in the dark. Biden "has been secretly flying illegal immigrants into communities across the country in the middle of the night," his ad on Facebook and Instagram claimed. Other Republicans have run social media ads making similar claims. They include Lisa Scheller, who is running for a U.S. House seat in Pennsylvania; Jake Corman, who is running for Pennsylvania governor; U.S. Rep. Randy Weber of Texas, U.S. Sen. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, and U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson of Iowa. Experts said the vast majority of people trying to cross the southern border into the United States are summarily turned back. Exceptions are made for unaccompanied minors, some of whom are transported by planes to be with relatives or approved sponsors — a practice also done during the Trump administration. How the process works Kistner’s campaign did not reply to our requests for information to support his claim. Two law professors and directors of immigrants’ rights clinics, Fatma Marouf at Texas A&M University School of Law and Nicole Hallett at the University of Chicago Law School, walked us through the process. Because of a public health law known as Title 42, invoked at the start of the pandemic by the Trump administration and continued under Biden, the vast majority of migrants are turned back and not given the opportunity to make their case for why they should be allowed to stay. Those encountered at the border who have been allowed to remain are, by and large, unaccompanied minors. They typically are taken first to facilities near the border and then transferred to the temporary custody of the U.S. Health and Human Services department, which eventually places the children with family or sponsors in the U.S. If family members or approved sponsors are not able to arrange transportation, the federal government pays for transportation, including flights. The charter flights are not publicized and sometimes are done in the middle of the night to protect the confidentiality of those being transported and to guard against anyone who would interfere with the flights. Republicans, including Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, have complained that they were not notified about the flights and U.S. House members from New York asked the Biden administration to stop such flights to their state. The Washington Post’s Fact Checker reported that sometimes the federal government tries to save money by arranging for flights that land late in the evening. Most unaccompanied minors turn themselves in to border authorities and by doing so are "actually following the rules of seeking asylum," said Marouf. ICE Air Operations is the air transportation arm of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is responsible for the detention and deportation of immigrants. The Biden administration, like the Obama and Trump administrations, uses flights to move adult detainees from one detention facility to another in order to avoid overcrowding. If some of those flights occur at night, it’s not necessarily indicative of something nefarious or covert going on, as the ad suggests. News reports, including some in Florida and Pennsylvania, have made clear that the process is routine and occurred under the Trump administration, as well. Mexican nationals ordered for deportation from the United States travel on domestic flights from various U.S. cities to southern cities such as San Diego, California and Brownsville, Texas, and are then bused to the U.S.-Mexico border for removal at a land port of entry, ICE said in August 2020. Neither ICE nor the Health and Human Services Department responded to requests for comment for this fact-check. The White House cited one of several statements it has made in response to such claims. A reporter on Oct. 19 asked White House press secretary Jen Psaki: "Why is the administration flying thousands of migrants from the border to Florida and New York in the middle of the night?" Psaki said: "It is our legal responsibility to safely care for unaccompanied children until they swiftly — can be swiftly unified with a parent or a vetted sponsor. And that’s something we take seriously; we have a moral obligation to come to do that and deliver on that. "As a part of the unification process, our Office of Refugee Resettlement facilitates travel for children in its custody to their families or sponsors across the country. So, in recent weeks, unaccompanied children passed through the Westchester (N.Y.) airport, which I think is what you’re referring to, en route to their final destination to be unified with their parents or a vetted sponsor. "It’s no surprise that kids can be seen traveling through states, not just New York. It’s something that we’re also working to unite children with their family members or vetted sponsors in other parts of the country as well." How the race plays into House control Kistner, an ex-Marine, is running against Democratic Rep. Angie Craig, who was first elected in 2018 to the 2nd District seat, which represents part of southeast Minnesota. Craig defeated Kistner in 2020 by 48% to 46%. Campaign watchers rate their rematch as "Democratic toss up", "tilt Democratic" and toss up. Democrats have an 11-seat advantage in the House. Our ruling Kistner said Biden "has been secretly flying illegal immigrants into communities across the country in the middle of the night." The ad implies that it is a new phenomenon for the federal government to transport immigrants around the country. That’s not true. The federal government flies adult detainees in its custody from one facility to another, or from one U.S. city to another during deportation proceedings. The U.S. government in some cases also flies unaccompanied children who are being released from its custody to a family member or sponsor. Some of these flights may happen at night, but they are not covert operations. The same types of routine flights were done by the Trump administration. The ad contains only an element of truth. We rate it Mostly False.
  7. Yeah why listen to experts when you have your own experience. Keep at it. Sort of like you sat at a football game and saw people of different ethnicity getting along and you thought that was proof of there being no systemic racism. Keep at it.
  8. Hard to understand Isn’t it? facts hurt your brain ha? https://evonomics.com/economists-agree-democratic-presidents-better-making-us-rich-eight-reasons/
  9. Sounds like you need some more school yourself.... Trump took every opportunity while campaigning to tout gains in the stock market as evidence of a booming U.S. economy. On Nov. 24, 2020, Trump even broke his post-election silence to hold a minute-long news conference to tout the Dow Jones Industrial Average trading at the 30,000 mark. "The stock market’s just broken 30,000. Never been broken, that number, that’s a sacred number," the president said. "I just want to congratulate all the people within the administration that worked so hard." Stock markets have rallied significantly, bouncing back sharply after a March fall to soar to record highs as Trump was in office -- despite the rest of the economy largely receding and suffering. "The stock market is up phenomenally and the bond market too, so wealthy investors who own most of it benefited," Frankel said of economic wins during Trump's tenure. Much of the stock market gains, however, economists link to expansionary policy from the Federal Reserve, which is independent of Trump -- and Trump has notably even taken steps to weaken the Fed’s independence. Expansionary policy aims to inject money into the economy, such as the way the Fed slashed interest rates and made it easier to borrow. The Dow soared by 56% during Trump's presidency. It climbed 148% under Obama, it fell by 26.5% under Bush and climbed 229% under Clinton. Notably, the previous presidents had two terms. At the one term line, the Dow climbed 73.2% under Obama, dropped by 3.7% under Bush and soared 105.8% under Clinton. "It's not Trump because the stock market is going up even more since Biden won the election," Frankel added. Chinn noted that “if you lower interest rates by two to three percentage points, that'll give you a stock market boom.” Another problem with pointing to the stock market as a barometer of the economy is that most of it is owned by the wealthy, and middle- and low-wage workers don't reap the benefits of market gains if they don't own any market shares. In the third quarter of 2020 the wealthiest 10% of households based on net worth own 88% of all total corporate equities and mutual fund shares, according to Federal Reserve data, with the top 1% owning 53%. Shierholz said for most working class and even middle class families, stock market gains are "utterly irrelevant." While Trump didn't create the issue of income inequality in the U.S., his policies will be remembered for creating an economy where the richest prosper while lower-paid families struggle.
  10. I’ll give credit where credit is due. Donald was absolutely right when he told Wolf Blitzer in 2004: “I’ve been around for a long time and it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans.”
  11. It is hard to predict these things. Glad our GM got this one right. So happy for the people of Buffalo.
  12. Josh Allen was hyped for a full year before the 2018 NFL Draft as a potential No. 1 pick, and he went No. 7 to the Bills, all to the bafflement of pretty much everyone not employed by the league. There’s never been a bigger disconnect between what the NFL apparently thinks and what the armchair analysts think. Personnel people see a prototype athlete whose flaws they can correct, while fans, statisticians, tape-grinders of varying expertise, and most media people see a flawed athlete with a prototypical shape. He’s a project. Coaches, scouts, and the most prominent mock drafters disagree to extreme degree with eggheads, less prominent mock drafters, and the public on how many tuneups he needs, though. In the end, somebody’s gonna be wrong.
  13. I wasn’t giving advice. You can do whatever you want. Enjoy your gut destroying crap food. Wrong. There is a reason it’s illegal in the EU. It’s not cause they are socialist commies https://www.betternutrition.com/ask-the-nutritionist/glyphosate-in-foods/
  14. Do you know about glyphosate and how it’s used in the country and the way it’s destroying everyone’s gut just like it’s destroying the pests? Not mention literally destroying our soil as a country. you are definitely better off eating organic for certain things if you can afford it. Organic food has much more micro nutrients instead of the main 3 NPK. Way cheaper to eat a frozen pizza rather than a nice piece of fish w veggies don’t you think? Or a pop tart?
  15. You have very interesting takes on food as well as politics I see. You are the dream consumer for corporate America. What do you feel about grass fed beef vs corn fed?
  16. That's my question to you. LOL.
  17. Glad you have that much input actually. And of course she is allowed to have her opinion. We can disagree on that part I guess. There are many discussions on why it might not be a good idea. So what about the issue that this is a state by state decision. How at that point do you support Graham's bill in any way. It is quite dishonest for the gop to claim this was just a state issue and now we see that was a big lie.
  18. It's time to just accept certain things in life are not to your ultimate satisfaction.
  19. If it's a state's right then you become a giant hypocrite for getting on board with Graham. See how that works? At some point you need to educate yourself if you as a man want to stick your opinion in a woman's body.
  20. You anti abortion folks defended the scotus decision as being rightfully given to the states as your argument. Now you idiots are for a federal ban? Slime balls. Thought you were all for states having the right to make this decision.
  21. It is interesting you guys are so triggered by the article stating the diversity in the appointed judges. You all seem to think that it somehow proves they were not qualified which is not true at all. You all seem to think it's weird when diversity is stated as a positive in these types of hiring procedures. I wonder though did you all freak out when a completely inexperienced woman was appointed to the Supreme Court. Did that cause you all concern?? Amy Coney Barrett Is the Least Experienced Supreme Court Nominee in 30 years.... Barrett has spent virtually all of her professional life in academia. Until President Trump nominated her to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in 2017, she had never been a judge, never worked in the government as a prosecutor, defense lawyer, solicitor general, or attorney general, or served as counsel to any legislative body—the usual professional channels that Supreme Court nominees tend to hail from. A graduate of Notre Dame law school, Barrett has almost no experience practicing law whatsoever—a hole in her resume so glaring that during her 7th Circuit confirmation hearing in 2017, Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee were dismayed that she couldn’t recall more than three cases she’d worked on during her brief two years in private practice. Nominees are asked to provide details on 10. Barrett has never tried a case to verdict or argued an appeal in any court, nor has she ever performed any notable pro bono work, even during law school. The ABA’s code of professional responsibility says lawyers should aspire to provide 50 hours a year of free legal services, with an emphasis on serving the poor in recognition of the fact that “only lawyers have the special skills and knowledge needed to secure access to justice for low-income people.” Chief Justice John Roberts famously met some of these requirements by representing a mass murderer on Florida’s death row. Trump has nominated 10 judges that the American Bar Association rated as unqualified to serve on the federal bench; seven of them were confirmed. Among those unqualified nominees was Brett Talley, an amateur ghost-hunter from Alabama who had blogged favorably about the Klan. (He withdrew from consideration.) And then there was Matthew Peterson, an elections lawyer nominated for a seat on the US District Court for the DC Circuit. The ABA rated him as qualified, but he withdrew his nomination shortly after his confirmation hearing, where he couldn’t answer questions from Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) about basic legal concepts.
  22. Fins should be 10 spots lower.
  23. President Joe Biden has appointed more judges to the federal courts at this stage in his tenure than any president since John F. Kennedy, and his appointees include a record number of women and racial and ethnic minorities, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of data from the Federal Judicial Center. As of Aug. 8, the first day of the U.S. Senate’s August break, Biden has successfully appointed 75 judges to the three main tiers of the federal judicial system: the district courts, appeals courts and U.S. Supreme Court. That’s far more than the number appointed by Donald Trump (51) and Barack Obama (42) at the same stage in their presidencies, and slightly more than the number appointed by several other recent presidents – including George W. Bush (72), Bill Clinton (74) and Ronald Reagan (72) – by this point in their tenures.
  24. They funniest was people who pay to have cell phones complaining the vax was to chip them.
