You are a liar. I construct many very good sentences. You are a bird brain.
Just thought you might want to give credit where it’s due rather than stealing someone else’s words. That’s something a Walz, Biden, or Redhawk would do.

But there is little doubt about which side will win. Four of the top founders of what became known as the PayPal Mafia — Musk, Peter Thiel, Max Levchin and Roelof Botha — are immigrants. Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, hails from Taiwan. The CEOs of Google, Microsoft and IBM are all Indian-born. Musk was born in South Africa and came to the United States from Canada. “The reason I’m in America,” Musk wrote to his critics on X, “is because of H1B. Take a big step back and F--- YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.”
Strap in, America. A fabulously talented crop of rich guys is now very close to the levers of power. As a result, they stand to enrich themselves even further. I never thought I’d say this, but I liked it better when Silicon Valley ignored Washington and focused instead on inventing the things that made them so wealthy in the first place.
You are not capable of this level of wordsmithing. You generally cannot construct a sentence without error. Who is the author of this?

Imagine someone whose only source of news about Joe Biden between 2020 and 2024 was The Daily Wire or The Washington Free Beacon, and someone else in the same period whose only source was CNN or The Washington Post. Which news consumer would have been better informed about the realities of Biden’s cognitive decline? Which one would have been less surprised that the Biden who showed up at the June 27 debate appeared, in the language of the Post’s November 8 editorial, “dazed, confused, tired and inaudible”? The answer should give many people pause.
It was a choice to go with the title of this thread. Poor Frankish.

The more maga pud posts and right wing “great guy…but hold my beer while I piss on his grave” articles get posted…
They are all the same ….baseless qualitative slanted views from a president who was dealt a truly crap economy started under Nixon, a country ravaged by GOP corruption, told the country not to be so dependent on oil, told some necessary truths about Israel, got shelled for financing Chrysler when GWB financed the entire financial sector and took the hit for the cia overthrow of an Iranian govt 20 years prior
Your first sentence, which is obviously quite childish, leads me to believe you were not around to experience the wonders of the Jimmy Carter presidency. It was a hoot. You really missed out.

Nice job, whoever was making decisions on behalf of the befuddled president.

Gosh. President Brandon only came in 9th. Orangeman 3rd. It was just a few short months ago that Frankish was crowing about the performance of the S&P in this very thread, and even more recently Roundy was excited about his stocks going to the moon. Almost makes their cheerleading look foolish. Oh well.

True. But does the West Bank basically live under a system of apartheid? Tell it like it is.
Perhaps basically. I believe that’s tempered by the stated goal of the destruction of Israel and killing of all Jews. My opinion is that Carter was on the wrong side of foreign policy in his post-presidency.

Well, what's wrong with that? It was, if anything, prescient, given how Netanyahu's aggressive expansion of West Bank settlements has gone.
What’s wrong with it? I direct you to the network of tunnels built by Hamas and their purpose. The plight of the Palestinian people is the fault of their “leaders”. Jimmy Carter was unable to understand that. You appear to be in the same boat.

Another stupid perspective.
Israel: the Camp David accord was truly monumental. It was a peace deal that stuck, and has stuck for nearly half a century. What other "deal" involving Israel has worked? It was favorable enough for Israel that Sadat got assassinated over it.
I guess that settles it!
https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-835378
In summary:
The pattern is clear. This is Carter in his own words. He had ample time to critique Hamas and Assad. He critiqued Israel and the Palestinian Authority. He didn’t critique the Assad regime. Instead, he was part of the cavalcade of voices that appeared to want to give voice to Assad and his regime and bring him in from the cold. We know what Assad did.
We know what Hamas did. Carter had a chance to speak truth to power to these regimes. He was a much more harsh critic of Israel and the Palestinian Authority than of Hamas and Asssad.

While he played a neutral broker during the Camp David talks at the presidential retreat in Maryland in 1978, he grew increasingly critical of Israel after leaving office, most notably in a 2006 book, “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid,” that compared Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians to South Africa’s former system of racial repression.

Could Michelle Obama Be More Insulting and Out of Touch?
by Matt Margolis
Michelle Obama recently shared a holiday message on Instagram, lamenting how “difficult” the last few months have been, and how Americans are feeling “anxious” as we head into the New Year.
"Happy holidays, everyone!” she began, keeping everything generic and non-Christmasy. “I know it’s been a difficult few months for so many of us — and that folks are feeling a little bit anxious and uncertain.”
Umm, says who?
The fact is, Michelle Obama’s message of anxiety and uncertainty feels wildly out of touch with the reality many Americans are experiencing. In fact, a recent CBS News/YouGov poll found that 57% of Americans are hopeful
She was addressing tiberius and redhawk directly.

link?
Here's mine:
and what qualifications does Rachael Levine lack?
You - he was head of Denver airport
Also you - here’s a link.
Anyone that reads what you linked to - that article does not mention Denver International or any other airport.
Your fellow “elites” must be embarrassed by your incompetence.

This is an excellent example of the brainrot that undermines the modern clickservative movement. It's all feelings, no facts. Arguments are mostly strawmen born of a media bubble that is unlikely to ever be penetrated by reality.
Instead of looking at studies, facts, and data, it's all about emotional appeals and anecdotes designed to instill anger or fear in the viewer.
But, if you look at reality:
Sanctuary cities do not increase crime:
- Sanctuary cities and crime: This paper finds (1) no evidence that sanctuary policies cause an increase in any crime, (2) some evidence that they may lead to a decrease in property crime, and the effect is strengthened over time after the adoption, (3) the increased trust between residents and police is likely the reason for the negative effect.
- Sanctuary Policies Lower Counties' Crime Rates: In a study published in Social Science Research, researcher Marta Ascherio shows that both property crime and violent crime decreased more in sanctuary counties than in nonsanctuary counties after 2014, when many such policies were implemented. Her findings also suggest that sanctuary practices in counties improve political integration in immigrant communities, lead to positive spillover effects, and increase overall social harmony in the areas where they are implemented.
- Sanctuary Cities and Their Respective Effect on Crime Rates : Using publicly available data, this regression analysis investigates the relationship between crime rates in selected cities and independent variables which the research literature or the media has linked to criminal activity. Results of this research reveal that sanctuary cities do not experience higher violent or property crime rates than those cities that are not sanctuary cities
- No Evidence Sanctuary Cities ‘Breed Crime’: “We find no statistically discernible difference in violent crime rate, rape, or property crime across the cities,” the researchers concluded. “Our findings provide evidence that sanctuary policies have no effect on crime rates, despite narratives to the contrary.”
Illegal immigrants commit fewer crimes than native born Americans:
- Debunking the Myth of the Migrant Crime Wave: Substantial research has assessed the relationship between immigration and crime. Numerous studies show that immigration is not linked to higher levels of crime, but rather the opposite. Studies have also examined the impact of the concentration of immigrants in a community on crime patterns, finding that immigration is associated with lower crime rates and an increase in structural factors — such as social connection and economic opportunity — that are linked to neighborhood safety.
- Undocumented Immigrant Offending Rate Lower Than U.S.-Born Citizen Rate: The study found that undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes and a quarter the rate of native-born citizens for property crimes.
- Immigrants are significantly less likely to commit crimes than the U.S.-born: Study finds over a 150-year period, immigrants have never been incarcerated at a greater rate than those born in the United States
Now, all of this makes sense if you both live in reality and are able to think past an immediate emotional reaction.
If illegal immigrants are not going to be deported for talking to law enforcement, they are more likely to be willing to report crimes. In locations where local law enforcement also enforces federal border policy, illegal immigrants probably won't want to report crimes out of fear for themselves being deported. This also leaves them vulnerable to be a victim of crime (abuse, domestic violence, fraud, robbery, etc) if the perpetrator knows they are illegal and won't report the crimes for fear of being deported.
If someone is willing to go through dangerous of coming into the country illegally, it's likely that they very much do not want to be sent back to the place they are escaping from. Therefore, it would make sense that once here, they would be careful not to run afoul of the law.
While there is a lot of debate to be had about what immigration policy should look like, anyone basing that on the idea that illegal immigrants and/or sanctuary cities are driving increases in crime rates is either ignorant of the facts or arguing in bad faith.
The first four links have no data later than 2016. Has anything changed relative to immigration since then? Most especially in the last four years?

"Elites" in other words. Except many aren't. And many buy into bucking any authority or convention. Kari Lake and Matt Gaetz were floated just to cause chaos. Gaetz has already weighed in against H1B, not that it will make a difference. Stephen Miller has as well and he might make a difference. By necessity, some of his cabinet will be made up of populist ideologues. I think abandoning his populist theme too far will cause loss of support for R's.
A question regarding “elites”, one of which you believe yourself to be - why on earth would an “elite” feel the need to lie about going to college with Susan Collins? That’s quite weird. If you are a representative member of the elite class, why would someone pay attention to anyone so foolish?

It's in the border bill.
I’m just trying to follow along. You said:
“Musk calling on Congress to support Biden's border bill!”
I can’t find any reporting to back this up and am very interested in the specifics. Please provide a link if you get the chance. The last one you provided was just a bunch of “Loomer tweeted blah blah”. Made you seem dumber than usual.

So it is your contention that a tweet battle between Musk and the psychotic Laura Loomer over tech worker visas is tantamount to Musk calling on congress to support Biden’s border bill. That’s an interesting and unique perspective. Well done!
Seems like you are coming a touch unwound as the return of TRUMP draws near. Hang in there, big guy!

Just now, Tiberius said:
I know, I outsmarted you (real difficult, not)
Musk wants the same provisions Trump shot down in border bill.
This isn't going the way you planned, 😂, is it?
No link? I thought you were being serious. Should have known it was your normal dumbassery. My bad.

This sounds interesting but I can’t find any info about Musk calling on Congress to support Biden’s border bill! Nothing at all from CNN/NYT/WaPo. Weird! Any chance you can provide a link? Thanks, buddy!

And you haven’t at any point. It’s one of many reasons that you come off as dim.
Your party seems to disagree though it was too little, too late wasn’t it.
