Vice President Debate: Vance vs Walz
ChiGoose replied to B-Man's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Why? He’d say the same thing because it’s true. -

Only the experts and the evidence, so you’re all set. -

No kidding. It’s like Todd Blanche doing a cross examination. -

Reality is unfair to MAGA because it rarely agrees with them. That being said, I’d be surprised if Walz is declared the winner of the debate -
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.

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)

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.

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.

J.D. Vance - Character and Policies
ChiGoose replied to The Frankish Reich's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
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
