None of this would be happening if these people had not come in this country without an invite.

One of the reasons these people came to this country was to avoid authoritarian regimes and banana republics.

I guess Trump's a master of the bait and switch, too.

So much winning.

They won't be invited to mine either.

Delusional:
In a psychiatric context, this term refers to a belief that is fixed and false, persisting despite evidence to the contrary.

MAGA: Trump's innocence.

That is, good that she was indicted. Regardless of party, all elected officials should be subject to the law.

Good.

What point is this supposed to make? Environmental concern is a binational bad thing?

Boaz, every day you log in here, you're punching far above your weight. You should be admired on some level for that.

"Plus, these people are big behind a keyboard. In person, they are the cucks you would expect them to be." --Boaz

How would you do in a debate with any number of the liberal or moderate posters here, with the standards set by centuries of practice, not ABC or Fox News? Do you even know the rules?

5. Academic journals were explaining 15 years ago about Putin's desire to sow distrust in democracy wherever he could. Quite the success here.

The US did the same for communism (see Latin America) for years, but the Soviet system eventually brought down itself. One must imagine that CIA and NSA chicanery around the world continues and should be "getting better."

Do we suck at that, too? Is US shortsightedness always going to lose to a steady plan that unfortunately the truly autocratic institutions implement?

FTA: This year, Associated Press reporters observed immigration court proceedings in 21 cities. Hearings repeatedly ended with cases dismissed by the government, allowing agents to arrest immigrants in courthouse hallways. AP reporters also reviewed internal records and spoke to judges, clerks and lawyers for the departments of Justice and Homeland Security to gain insight about the scope of the administration's effort.

Them evil Muslims.

Blacks like me are breaking that hold you [white] devils have on black folks.
And you are evil, BTW.

Wow, Boaz as pre-hajj Malcolm X.

2. How much money do you think US pastors were getting from USAID?

Funny story. Decades ago my late brother was at the Kentucky Derby and ended up chatting up one of the daughters of the Hunt brothers, big silver investors in Texas.

It came up in the conversation that father Hunt's favorite food was McDonald's.

My brother questioned later whether the young woman was really who she said she was, but received confirmation upon seeing a documentary where the Hunt brother McDonald's fascination was mentioned.

The US president has the best culinary staff at their disposal for anything they can think up to have prepared for them.

Nixon still liked his cottage cheese and ketchup.

George HW Bush was excoriated for not knowing about bar codes at supermarket checkouts because of his lack of connection with economic realities.

If Trump has achieved anything, he probably knows more about fast food menus than anyone even close to the low end of his alleged wealth. Bad fast food at that.

But it's the progressives hated of Trump that's pushing this, and I fear there's nothing there, which is going to piss progressives off even more.

Boaz has a new fear, everybody! Nothing! And the progressive voices controlling his thoughts might get louder!

OMG!!

Just saw this on the Drudgereport.

"But the web extends beyond the President of the United States. Epstein's email pals range across the landscape of the politics and trip across business, media, tech, academia and society..."

If there is scrubbing going on,there are too many players on the field

FFS.

You want to contribute to this discussion when this is, like, new news to you? And you got it from Drudge? Names from these fields have been mentioned for years related to Epstein. Maybe someone didn't put them into one sentence for you.

"We're more than meeting," Trump said late Friday as he flew to Florida for the weekend. "I'll be bent over a chair, getting reamed by yet another world leader."

One of the DR's fascinations has always been Boaz and how a person so poorly educated (which has nothing to do with politics) can function in society. Frankly it scared me when he was in Central Asia, thinking that someone so dumb could be anywhere near US weapons systems.

But his willful dumbness and absent morality have hit the complete skids these days.

People who are way too proud of their own opinions to consider altering them in the face of facts: today's GOP.

And there's not a damn conservative on this site who can argue for Trump's policies logically, if that's possible, without getting into homoerotic fantasies or accusations.

Boaz, I don't care what you think of what I've written, but I hope you read it.

You first came on my radar when you were collecting taxpayer money in the armed services and wrote on the DR you'd just heard about a place the US owned called the Virgin Islands. You unabashed ignorance / poor education floored me. At least you're consistent.

"Whether Latinos are now Republicans. The evidence shows they are not. They just liked Trump (or disliked Harris)."

Lots of these broad brushes are going to have to start going away. Jews were once an almost-monolithic Democratic bloc. Israel confuses things.

Latinos who make plenty of money were probably always, and will remain, Republican. Blacks, too. Pull up that bridge after you cross it.

Then again, Jews used to rule the NBA. Oh, for the two-handed set shot.

Your boy Jesus wasn't much of a thinker, huh?

But you seem to want the government to be providing this service ...

Would be nice to help fill the gap, given most churches don't think it's a "good idea" to welcome the poor, the widows, the orphans, the outcast, the afflicted, or these days the Samaritan woman at the well.
