Someone scared?

You live in an incomprehensible fantasy world. Truly incredible to watch. I guess under your theory that only Dem states get aid, Ron DeSantis is a Dem since Florida got FEMA aid? If he's a Dem, then I guess that makes Florida a blue state? Since Georgia got FEMA aid, it must make it a blue state as well. I'm glad to know that the election will be declared pretty quickly since you believe that Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina are blue states.

Yeah, Roy Cooper is a Democrat but you're literally the first person I've seen say that North Carolina is a blue state. It's gone for the GOP presidential candidate in all but one election in the last 40+ years.

Biden's not dead. He's just busy directing the Feds to go after his list of GOP enemies: Eric Adams (R-NY) Andrew Gillum (R-Hotel Room) Bob Menendez (R-NJ) Mike Madigan (R-Chicago Machine) TJ Cox (R-CA) Henry Cuellar (R-TX) Hunter Biden (R-Mountain of Coke)

So North Carolina is a blue state now? Guess that's a good sign for the election

He just posts the same talking points post after post after post. And half of them are about how the left just follows talking points. If he was capable of critical thought, the cognitive dissonance there might kill him.

Irv’s sock: what a mess

Oh buddy, just because you drew a face on the sock doesn’t make it a real person…

“You should be for taking bribes or else the Dems will prosecute you for taking bribes like they did for Adams.” Irv, the mess you’ve been looking for has been between your ears the whole time.

I completely agree. This is why I think we need to invest more in Inspectors General, whose jobs include preventing waste and corruption. Last I checked, for ever $1 we spend on IGs, we get up to $26 back in savings from waste.

As far as one can tell who "wins" a debate, I have to think Vance is the favorite here. Walz has a lot of positive qualities, but he's not known for his debating skills. Plus, predicting and having responses for whatever the latest nonsense online hoaxes Vance has fallen for has got to be difficult.

I don’t know the details of Ramaswami’s plan but I agree with the general gist of it based on your summation of it. Our legal immigration system is deeply broken and flawed, causing people who could otherwise come here legally to attempt illegal means. It also offers people with no valid asylum claim to enter into the country and live here for years while their claim winds its way through the system. That has to be fixed. And doing so will both allow people to come here legally more easily while shutting off a popular pathway for illegal immigration. I don’t think there should be open borders and I honestly don’t know anyone who does. I just prefer fixes at the border that actually work instead of spending billions on a big dumb wall.

This is why I previously stated that we need to properly fund the immigration courts. If adjudication of asylum claims takes days to weeks instead of years, it’ll both provide for a proper legal way for people with real asylum claims to come in while deterring people without proper claims from claiming asylum and taking advantage of a years long adjudication process.

That's some straight up evil right there. Also, I gotta think eliminating a significant part of the farming and construction labor force would have inflationary effects on those markets...

1. I think that number is wrong. 2. You’re still too far downstream of the problem. You’re talking about people who truly believe their lives and their families lives are in danger. They are leaving everything behind to take a dangerous journey just to find opportunity. You can build a big wall, and they will still come. You can say that they won’t get any assistance, and they will still come. They are coming, so the question is: what do you do about that? They’re not sitting around their kitchen table thinking “well, we probably need to leave our lives behind to risk our lives to get out of here, but I just heard we don’t get a handout when we get there so I guess we’ll just stay here and die.”

You first have to have a comprehensive approach that tackles the root causes of illegal immigration, fixes the broken asylum system, and incentivizes people to either come here legally or not come at all. Only then can you really figure out how to handle the people who are already here. Better staff immigration courts, simplify the legal immigration and asylum processes, give CBP the tools and staffing they actually need instead of a big stupid wall that wouldn’t even work. Today, it can take *years* to have an asylum claim adjudicated. If you’re really escaping violence or threats to your family, we’re basically telling you that you need to come here illegally because it’ll take too long to do it the right way. As long as we incentive that behavior, we’ll never fix the problem no matter how much money we waste on a wall in the middle of a desert.

If you believe the Dems are bringing in illegal immigrants to vote, then you need to log off the internet. You cannot use it responsibly and it’s rotted your brain. Utter nonsense.

Because Vance’s advance team either hates him or are just terrible at their jobs, MAGA nuts are now calling in threats to Primanti Bros

Yeah, that’s about the level of detail I’d expect. Unserious, just like the GOP.

How are you going to deport 10 million people? How does that work logistically?

Apparently modern conservatism relies on people being unwilling or incapable of grappling with difficult issues. Let’s say we fix the border tomorrow. Suddenly, there are 0 undocumented immigrants coming into the country. Great! But what do you do about the people who are already here? What about someone who was brought here illegally as a child but is now a productive adult? What’s your solution?

This is stupid. The only way anyone can actually believe this is if they have so encapsulated themselves in a bubble that they are incapable of actually talking to and listening to anyone who works for or has worked for the Dems. Because this isn’t the plan, it’s never been the plan, it won’t be the plan. It’s just stupid right wing internet nonsense like Haitians eating pets. But the clickservatives eat it up because the internet has given them the smoothest brains.

If you believe the GOP actually wants to solve the border problem, you are the moron. They want chaos, they oppose things that would help fix it. If the border was solved, they’d never win another election, so they propose a big stupid wall that won’t fix s**t and tank anything that might help. Only fools think the GOP wants to fix the border.

You’re fighting a losing battle against people who live in a fantasy world. If Trump tells them the sky is green, they will mock you for ever thinking it could possibly be blue.
