"The left hasn't cooperated"

See, this is what makes you a bootlicker.

You claimed the left was escalating.
But not cooperating, that isn't escalating.

Your comment tells us that you think we're obligated to cooperate with police, and not cooperating with police is an act of escalation. In your mind, not cooperating with the police is akin to resisting arrest.

It's funny because you know factually you're wrong here. But your words belie what you truly believe
You believe the fascist citizen bootlicker getting a government check is a better human being than the illegal immigrant working a private sector job.

And if you don't, you're sure going to have a hard time convincing anyone on the DR about that, ever.

I might take this "blame the Dems" bs more gracefully if the GOP hadn't been sabotaging attempts at immigration reform since Reagan's amnesty.
Never any enforcement against the largest exploiters of immigrant labor, Ag/meat processing/construction. Never a white guy that employs illegals busted. The campaign contributors get first consideration and they're not about to start raising wages to attract citizens. And a never ending parade of further obstacles and delays for those actually "doing it the right way". Kinda makes all this uproar seem like it is really more about non-whites shortly becoming the majority in this country and white's political dominance eroding.
In a word, racism.

-The problem is republicans have made it difficult for people to come legally.

I keep reading here that it's the republicans who've made it easy for undocumented immigrants to be here.

It's the republicans who look the other way rather than "make it difficult for people to come legally".

The rest of your post is spot on. We all benefit and American needs this labor.

We pretend it's all bad bad bad when running for office because average Joe is too stupid to understand the reality of how much we rely on it.

the left has pushed open borders snoofy, then sanctuary cities.
The right got power and upped enforcement.
The left doubled down on sanctuary and enforced stricter no cooperation
The right sent in more agents
The left started doxing
The right started wearing masks

It's all tit for tat bullshit rather than a comprehensive non-partisan approach to an immigration policy reform.

regardless of who is wrong or right you can't agree that the current situation of vigalantes impersonating ICE is due to an out of control arms race of each side trying to one up the other in escalating the stakes?

You're just one excuse after another for why Americans shouldn't expect any return from our taxes.

Trump proves this nation has the money to do whatever it wants.

It just needs people who are willing to put America and working class Americans ahead of their personal interests and the money they could make from selling out.

If Americans weren't as apathetic as you, maybe we'd have a better, stronger nation.

Of course, a bunch of white people would also have to accept the fact their skin color really doesn't mean anything.

Which is really one of the biggest wedge issues in America.

Whites. Believing they're better and more deserving than everyone else. Simply for being born melanin deficient.

"This is an unfortunate outcome of the escalation of activities on the left and the right in regards to illegal immigration enforcement."

Stupid "both sides" nonsense.
Tell us, KWRX25, which "side" is doing the illegal immigration enforcement?
That's the side that is escalating things and giving rise to the "unfortunate outcome" of domestic terrorism.

Why aren't you simply honest enough to say it's Trump and Trump alone that is responsible for the escalation of illegal immigration enforcement?
You not being able to do that puts you in league with those who won't to take a side on whether the moon landings really happened.

Just like Trump has admitted to having sexual fantasies about Ivanka.

LftHndThrds assumes all fathers are like LftHndThrds and Trump.

I guarantee the wrong thing in this post gets the focus of attention but please try to read the intent.

This is an unfortunate outcome of the escalation of activities on the left and the right in regards to illegal immigration enforcement.

The left hasn't cooperated, so the right upped the intensity in areas of sanctuary cities in response. So the left tried to impeded those agents, and the right brought in more unqualified agents, and this back and forth has escalated. Now even the good agents are doxed and have to hide their identities.

This opens the door to vigilante impersonators.

Like the language around gun control... we need to de-escalate the immigration issue, and come up with some common sense cooperation on it's enforcement for the safety of all.

I knowingly concede in the climate we are currently at this won't be possible. I'm not assigning blame or excusing anyone, I'm only stepping back and looking at the state of the state on this. If you want to assign a position on the topic to me based on this post, you've missed the point of the observation.

"has it gone over $100?"

Trumpy is successfully manipulating the prices of oil. Make oil prices go too high and the profits drop. Gotta stay in the "sweet spot". And then make well timed trades. Based on the knowledge of when you will or will not attack. These trades, often involving massive short positions, occurred just hours before Trump made surprise public pivots"such as postponing a planned attack"yielding millions in profits for unknown entities.

But no worries Fishpoo.. $100 oil is "a price worth paying!"

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is currently investigating between $800 million and $1 billion in "suspiciously well-timed" oil trades.

Mysterious Oil Trades: Moments before Trump's March 2026 Truth Social posts and CBS interviews about postponing strikes or holding productive ceasefire talks, massive bets were placed on a plunge in oil prices. This allowed traders to make immediate, lucrative payouts on the sudden crash.

"In one case, a Mexican immigrant said at least four assailants robbed him and the other immigrants in his home at gunpoint. He was struck in the head with a weapon; another victim who lived in the house said his forehead was split open with the butt of a gun; it required more than ten stitches and staples.

The assailants also pointed a gun at a baby as they demanded money from the infant's parents.

The immigrants said they wouldn't be able to tell the difference between assailants posing as ICE agents and real agents, 'because now they all come hooded.'"

A tsunami of violence and scamming has been unleashed upon vulnerable migrants because of the abominable xenophobic Trumpf junta.

competent and effective NYC Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) is making new moves toward a possible White House bid in 2028.

We had an entire thread where only a single person listed any accomplishments by AOC and even those were paltry.

A man who insists he can keep Iran from ever having nukes is delusional.
There is no way to guarantee that.
There is no proof that such a thing is even possible.
There is no way to make it happen.
You can't say "forever" in matters like that.

You might slow the process down... if you stop threatening them... and stop trying to steal their oil.

While we're at it... let's run inspections in Israel... We have an agreement not to aid nations with nukes under our non-proliferation agreements... Israel may owe us a ton of money for all the years it deceived us.

He has policies that would benefit all Americans.

He's a more popular candidate than Harris.

He would have beaten Trump in 2024.

You're just a sad loser who missed his calling to be an 80s republican.

Reagan, BushSr, Clinton, BushJr, Obama ... all had the same policies. To capitulate to corporate America.

Working class Americans were collateral damage.

Hillary, Biden and Harris represent a continuation of that.

Americans are tired of not benefiting from our taxes and seeing the wealthiest making off like bandits.

Although Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) represents the small 14th CD in NYC with approximately 700,000 constituents, like popular and competent NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), she too has a nationwide following and is an effective member of the "Squad."

AOC Social Media Followers:

Instagram: ~ 9.7 million
TikTok: ~ 4.1 million
Bluesky: ~ 2.2 million

Genuine Democrats in NYS and America should all be rallying around her.

If AOC chooses not to run for POTUS in 2028, NYS Democrats will also be more than happy to have her replace the unpopular and ineffective US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY). New Yorkers have had their fill of this dinosaur-- like disgraced ex-Governor Andrew Cuomo -- and the herd of brontosauruses constipating the American body politic.

Al Gore's Climate Change Predictions 20 Years Later

"Bjorn Lomborg is a highly polarizing figure, and his credibility is a subject of intense debate among scientists, economists, and policymakers.

Cambridge University Press & Assessment

While he holds a PhD in political science and is known for his work in statistics, the mainstream scientific and academic communities broadly view him as lacking credibility on environmental and climate science. Critiques of his work typically fall into several distinct areas:

Scientific Consensus vs. Cherry-Picking:

Scientists frequently criticize Lomborg for "cherry-picking" data, using outdated economic models, and misinterpreting or misrepresenting the conclusions of the very researchers he cites. Organizations like Climate Feedback frequently evaluate and challenge his claims.

Lack of Domain Expertise:

Lomborg is not a climate scientist. Most of his writing appears in op-eds in right-leaning publications that do not undergo rigorous scientific peer review, rather than in peer-reviewed environmental or climatology journals.

Controversial History with Integrity:

In 2003, the Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty (DCSD) concluded that his first book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, was scientifically dishonest due to systematic misinterpretation of data, though this ruling was later overturned by the Danish Ministry of Science on procedural grounds.

Environmental economists and institutions"such as the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment"heavily criticize his economic calculations, stating that they drastically underestimate the potential damages of unmitigated global warming.

Therefore, mainstream climate experts generally do not consider him a credible source on the topic.

Contributing to the problem is the jingoism and militarism that has been infecting American sports long before Jaxson Dart was even born. The NFL, MLB, and the DOD did a masterful job of this.

It's the same circular argument. The DNC can't get enough liberals to show up on election day.

Liberals will tell what you want to hear during a poll. They'll express their liberalism if you ask the right questions. They'll make you believe they reject many conservative policies and favor liberal policies.

And this is what generates so much optimism for the democratic party prior to elections. It's why all the data predicts democratic party victories.

And then..........the turnout isn't high enough. And the results aren't what was predicted.

And then......an autopsy report is generated confirming what we already knew. The only thing this report does is generates arguments amongst the more left leaning liberals only to be in the same place they were before they started the argument.

War Against Iran: Ecological Disaster in Middle East

Lets analyze all of these Retort headlines, in the context of Democrat Party problems.

Does this site attempt to fix any of it? Or is it a microcosm of systemic party problems? Lets explore further!

What can we identify, just looking at the current headlines on both the front and back page.

1) The Base Content Is Extremely "In-Group" Coded
2) The Curated Front Page Softens Tone " But Not Strategy
3) The Editorial System Is Optimized for Engagement, Not Persuasion
4) Missing Working-Class Emotional Identity
5) Hyper-Online Culture Leakage
6) The Front Page Accidentally Confirms the "No Positive Vision" Critique
7) The Curators Understand the Problem Better Than the Userbase
8) The Ecosystem Incentivizes Permanent Emergency

The backpage/frontpage split reveals three separate Democratic ecosystems operating simultaneously:

1. Grassroots emotional ecosystem
2. Institutional curation ecosystem

3. Missing ecosystem

The one the report argues Democrats need:

optimistic
working-class
identity-expanding
future-oriented
patriotic without embarrassment
masculine-inclusive
economically tangible
locally rooted
emotionally aspirational

The report essentially argues Democrats cannot rebuild durable majority support if ecosystem #1 continues to dominate the emotional center of Democratic political culture.

Since Oct 2023, the peace loving, hardworking American taxpayer has sent at least $21.7 billion in military aid to Israel, which covers the $11.5bn cost of Benjamin Netanyahu's attack against the people, economy, infrastructure, and environment of Iran.

Greenpeace warns the barbaric US and Israeli onslaught will leave a toxic legacy in Iran, damaging the systems that make life possible, including water networks, sewage plants, farmland, ports, fuel depots, and electricity infrastructure, leaving polluted air, contaminated soil, and unsafe water long after their offensive ends.

We are discussing why the dems lost in 2024.

I hear only myself pointing the finger at where it belongs. The morons who voted for a rapist, felon, conman insurrectionist liar.

NO MESSAGE WOULD HAVE CHANGED THAT

It shouldn't have been close

#17 The American people did no such thing.

Less than half of those eligible to vote voted in 2024.

Barely half of those voted for the Trumpf.

Doesn't equate to the American people choosing anything (except, perhaps, apathy).

America deserves the destruction that he is reaping.
While I don't disagree with you.
I'd prefer it not to be happening.
But America isn't the first nation to fail because of the shortsightedness of stupid people.

---- that, America has become evil. Evil needs to be expunged.

I remind you we are aiding and abetting a genocide. We are aiding and abetting pogroms and land grabs and torturing children.

That is evil

We started an unjustifiable illegal war of aggression by assassinating a country's leaders with a cowardly murderous bombing that killed infants.

We did that during negotiations, without declaration without warning. TWICE

That is evil

We are killing Venezuelan fisherman on a regular basis

That is evil

We have put an illegal embargo of oil on Cuba resulting the deaths of children. There is no justification for that. There is no reason other than some Miami Cubans want to get rich with Cuban real estate.

That is ------- evil

America is doing this.

We are not stopping Piggy from doing this

America is evil and bad things should happen to evil people.

#12 Because Israel and AIPAC had almost zero effect on the 2024 election.

Thanks, Clown.

Gosh Golly and Gee.

"anti-war" protests cost Kamala Harris

They did it help.

Then there's this:

"Elon Musk has been a significant source of misleading information regarding the 2024 U.S. election and Vice President Kamala Harris, using his platform X (formerly Twitter) to amplify false claims to his hundreds of millions of followers. Experts and election officials have identified X as a major conduit for election-related misinformation, noting that Musk's own posts have accrued billions of views."

To be clear all this autopsy and navel gazing is about messaging.

if we did that or said this, Americans would have voted differently.

this is patently ridiculous.

No candidate who rants about eating cats and dogs and concepts of a plan for healthcare and promises of retribution should EVER have a chance at the presidency.

No candidate so singularly ignorant on every topic and singularly arrogant that he is the smartest person in the room. So OBVIOUSLY ignorant, so OBVIOUSLY a liar, so OBVIOUSLY malicious, with a fifth graders vocabulary and the expression of a greasy used car dealer should ever have had a chance.

No this is not about Gaza, or transgenderism or Biden's age or AIPAC or distancing from Biden or inflation.

It is about an electorate who couldn't look at Piggy and realize that he should never be allowed to gain the presidency, let alone for a second time.

A country that stupid, that hateful DESERVES the collapse of our nation that is coming.

You asked for it, you get it.

The ----- of truth rarely comes with lube.

Kamala Harris lost because of the moral bankruptcy of the American electorate

She lost to a conman, felon, rapist insurrectionist liar.

It should not have been close

Due to the moral failings of the American people, no democratic candidate would have won.

Because Americans are: Stupid, Venal, Willfully Ignorant, Bigoted and Hateful

If you can't tell what Piggy is within 1 minute of listening to him your critical thinking skills suck.

But Americans had years of him.

And chose him anyway.

America deserves the destruction that he is reaping.

@#2 ... how "anti-war" protests cost Kamala Harris ..

You noticed that also?

MAGA seemed to be vehemently anti-war back then.

Now, not so much.
