Biden pardoned his entire family.

Kind of hard for dems to complain about Trump now.

Alex,

"The BJ gaslighting continues."

Please explain.

Fried,

Don't talk about my marriage.

left out "sink"

Corky,

#28

You've got everything but the kitchen in it.

How can anyone respond?

Laura,

"I try to be myself and you throw a fit. What gives??"

No..I didn't throw a fit. You're imagining it.

Laura,

"Translation: She acted human and showing any emotion is wrong. Gotcha"

Nothing wrong with being yourself.

Laura,

Here's what I found peculiar and annoying about Kamala's laughing.

She would often burst into laughter immediately after making a point where someone might have wanted to respond.

The laughter broke the natural flow of communication and kept the floor focused on her.

Personally, I think at times it came across like she was trying to prevent an immediate follow-up question, interruption or continuation of a thought.

It often sounded forced or overly prolonged, which interrupted the normal back-and-forth exchange of ideas and made meaningful responses awkward.

Laura,

"Way to name Kamala. Cackles. You don't even respect women cis or otherwise."

What does it say that female candidates are often referred to by their first names while men are usually referred to by their last names?

Doesn't that suggest a different level of familiarity, almost the way you might refer to a child?

Doesn't it imply women are still viewed with less status or authority than men?

Kamala. Hillary.

Corky,

Dems have no one to blame but themselves.

Next election, figure out who you are and get a good candidate.

What still amazes me is how many votes Cackles got considering how shallow and unprepared she sounded.

It's just astounding how many ballots voted for her.

Corky,

All dems ran for office was Cackles who never bothered to defiantly say what her intentions were.

You got Trump instead.

It's only fair.

Look what Biden did for his family.

Where was the outrage then?

It may be difficult for Democrats to say much about this without sounding hypocritical.

I believe this is the exact wording. My previous post was paraphrased.

The United States is hereby FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED from prosecuting or pursuing any examinations or similar or related efforts to determine whether Donald J. Trump, related or affiliated individuals, trusts, partnerships, corporations, organizations, and/or other entities are liable for any non-payment, underpayment, taxes, interest, attorney's fees, costs, expenses, or any other sums whatsoever

In the words of Church Lady,

"Isn't that special"

On May 19, DOJ posted a separate one-page document on its website " signed by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche " with the new details. It includes what appears to be an all-inclusive release in which the Internal Revenue Service is "FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED" from "prosecuting or pursuing" any and all efforts to determine if Trump and the other parties are liable for non- or under-payment of taxes, interest, attorney's fees or expenses incurred by the government.

I want some.

Where do I apply?

Zed,

"You were encouraged to believe that it was existential."

No...you've been brainwashed into believing breaking the law is just fine and there should be no consequences.

Democratic leaders constantly use guilt, shame, and moral posturing to shape how people think about immigration.

And you fell for it.

Zed,

Care to deny any of these are contributing to an immigration crisis?

Zed,

"Immigration was never a crisis."

It becomes one when border enforcement is lax for years while millions enter or remain illegally and we pretend the system can absorb it indefinitely.

It becomes one when sanctuary policies interfere with local and federal law enforcement.

It becomes one when cities begin struggling with overcrowded shelters, schools, overburdened healthcare systems and other financial stress.

It becomes one when people who followed the legal immigration process watch others just bypass it with little or no consequences.

It becomes one when criticism of immigration policy is automatically labeled racist just to shut down discussion.

And it becomes one when politicians use the issue for political advantage instead of creating realistic, enforceable solutions.

Zed,

What do I exaggerate about?

Be specific.

Snoofy,

"How did you personally come to believe that immigration is bad for America?"

You stepped over the line and lied.

I never said "immigration is bad for America."

Me and you are done on this thread.

Zed,

"Americans are not meant to live this way."

I don't know how much exaggeration is in your last post.

Some is to be expected.

In any case, it's not like Trump will be in office like Castro or Putin year after year.

ICE has a legitimate mission.

Democrats didn't want to see how their open border policy was going to backfire.

Very unfortunate.

I understand why people would want to come here.

Zed,

Paranoia?

You'll have to explain that.

It doesn't apply to me, so do explain who you mean and what are they being paranoid about.

I see unrealistic fears, on both sides, being spread to manipulate society all the time.

You have to be more specific.

Zed,

"Maybe I should have thought about the chances of fascist oppression against EVERYONE because people like BILL wet their panties over an issue that was never more than a mid-level problem?"

How crass.

Reducing opinions to "wet their panties" suggests you have nothing meaningful to add beyond insults.

Snoofy,

"You can't think of a single harm that was caused by what you allege."

I never said that.

There are all sorts of terrible consequences as a result of lax border enforcement.

I've said before I'd support a fast track to citizenship for vetted and qualified immigrants to expedite those who have lived here and are good contributing members of society.

I hate to hear some of the stories. It's terrible.

It's unfortunate this problem has been mismanaged for so long.

But the answer isn't to ignore the problem now which is essentially all I'm seeing from anti-ICE protestors who just want to continue the status quo of letting people live here without proper documentation.

Democrats even want them to be able to vote. Ridiculous.

Zed,

"Let me guess: It's unhinged."

It's probably going on 70 years old and falling apart.

My wife likes it so I have to repair it.
