"... immigrants consistently report lower welfare participation than natives for nearly every program across poverty status and the income distribution."

Also much lower crime rates, especially violent crime rate, than US citizens, and for the last 150 years, a Net Plus to the Economy.

No wonder Rwingers want to get rid of them, right?

The Real Reason is, of course, the white nationalist Great Replacement Myth that has been thoroughly debunked, which Trump LIED to them about for years.

Yep...

Best DR Trumper impression ever?

MTG has an interview out today saying "Blame Trump!" not all his minions (who are of course also to blame)

(some of those named in #7 are incorrect spellings as they are from the audio transcript at the link)

"At the time, Les Wexner was Epstein's only public client, with Epstein helping Wexner manage the billions he made running The Limited and Victoria's Secret.

Wexner is also the namesake for Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center, where Landon has worked since 1987.

The files include emails from Epstein discussing sending victims to gynecologists and arranging gynecological appointments."

Epstein and Wexner were business partners and friends until September 2007, when Wexner discovered Epstein had misappropriated vast sums of money from him as sexual assault allegations against Epstein emerged in Florida."

More about Les Wexner and Epstein:

SO it turns out that the "Unredacted Files" that the DOJ uploaded are actually... wait for it... Redacted Files from the FBI.

House Rep on the House Floor Names 6 of the wealthy pedos that the FBI missed:

"America borrowed $43.5 billion a week in the first four months of the fiscal year, with debt interest on track to be over $1 trillion for 2026"

"Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) told Axios in an interview Tuesday that when he searched President Trump's name in the unredacted Epstein files the previous day, it came up "more than a million times."

"Trump is paraphrased and quoted as saying, 'No, Jeffrey Epstein was not a member of Mar-a-Lago, but he was a guest at Mar-a-Lago, and no, we never asked him to leave,'" Raskin said in an interview at the Capitol."

He bled both of them dry.

- Why do you support this fascism?

Because they belong to the Cult of Trump, and he told them to support this fascism.... he also said that undocumented immigrants were mostly violent gang thugs, and they believed that lie to.

Doesn't really matter what he lies about, they believe him; the economy? Why it's the bestest ever! Epstein Files? A big Dem Hoax!

Food prices? Cut in half! Renee Good? A terrorist! He can tell any lie he likes, and know that the Cult will believe it.

- the few on this site I wouldnt ------ with.

So... you are just a floozie?

Watch your goodies, BJ!

The Lyn' King demands loyalty and obedience from all!

Otherwise you might as well be Good and Pretti.

His LIES are SO obvious now that even some of MAGA notice... but hey, they are invested in this Con Artist and aren't going to easily admit that they were conned.

oops... a Signing Bonus that they are NOT being paid (in many cases)

Not to mention a Pres who, after they execute people in the streets, says that, "they aren't doing enough!".

ICE is what happens when Incompetence Meets Evil Intent.

Giving 12 thousand rwingers 47 days 'training' rather than at least 6 mos plus ongoing training... giving them Arrest Quotas, Bonus for Arrests, and a Signing Bonus that they are being paid... I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

Nothing, because it's going just how they want it do go; Instilling Fear into the People... so they won't revolt when there's no more Elections.

- I hope you're not freezing your ass off in FL

It got down to 20 degrees here a couple of times, and was freezing or below off and on for almost 2 weeks; all record lows.

I keep telling people it's the End Times, but they don't buh-lieve me, lol!

- that most people here don't question what I am.

This is True.

It was established early on that MB is the bastard child of Ayn Rand and Ludwig von Mises, Murray Newton Rothbard... who combined Rand's moral philosophy of selfishness with von Mises' subjective value of capitalism.

We pray for him.

-The Constitution doesn't place limits on people.
The Constitution places limits on government.

And then Republicans gave us Corporate Personhood and Money as Speech.

Which is why Oligarchs now own the People's Representatives and their Government.

But all we should really be concerned about is whether or not Madbummer is doing OK. Because apparently that's the Standard.

"Zelenskyy reiterated that no lasting resolution to the war can be reached without credible security guarantees for Ukraine. He stated that the signing of such guarantees must precede other agreements.

"I would very much like us to first sign the security guarantees and then sign other documents. This is not only about fairness, but also about trust," he said."

"There is talk from the American side about ending the war by the beginning of summer," Zelenskyy said, adding that no indications have been received suggesting the US might exit the negotiation process if that deadline is missed.

"It is important that the Americans remain engaged," he noted."

Imagine if you will being is a position where you are supposed to trust the Gangsters Putin and Trump...

= Tell that to the old Polish guy who was deported. Or the Germans.

Thinks outliers are an argument of some sort, lol... makes him sound like Sir Bottomly of the Berkshire Bottomlys.

I watched BB for a few minutes because I'd never heard the music before, and as a music lover color me not impressed, at least with what I saw.

And I thought crotch-grabbing became pretty much passe after Jim Morrison and Ian Anderson 50 years ago?

Not to mention Big Bottom Girls, so I won't mention them.

But this is a multi-cultural country and always has been; there was a time when the Irish were the low-caste immigrants... and as long as there's an audience for his act and it doesn't break any laws, then it's fair game to broadcast.

If enough people don't watch, it won't happen so often.

But then, it was better than the Kreepy Kid Rock... or the Cat Scratch Fever guy who's name I have thankfully forgotten.

What's happening now is that immigrants who follow the law and show up at Court are being detained when they show up, not because of their legal status or for not following the rules, but because of their skin color and or their accents.

And anyone who protests these Gestapo tactics can be executed on the streets with no repercussions... in Ms Good's case, not even a real investigation.

Rwingers are truly proud to be 'Muricans when that happens.

How quaint... and how pretentious.

When did you decide that it's OK for the People to be replaced by the Oligarchs who buy and sell the People's Representatives in Government?

At birth, I bet.

You do realize that you are not now and will never be one of them, don't you? That they would not bother to piss on you if you were on fire... and they needed to pee.

But you are the kind of person they rely on to stay in power; someone with just enough to scoff at most people, but not enough to ever threaten them.

Money was always power, but now it's been made Speech under the Law.

Someone once said that, not money, but the love of money is the root of all evil in the world. It turns never-will-be's into wannabes who spend their time looking down on most people because they have a bit more of it... but never enough.

And people wonder why Oligarchs buy politicians.

DJT could get the Monster Maxwell to help in the Epstein Investigation; name the powerful pedophiles in the case.

All he has to do is say he will not Pardon her.

Then she will testify.
