... President Donald Trump said Monday he was "very much opposed" to the immigration raid at a Hyundai electric vehicle plant in Georgia...

Of course he'd say that... after the fact and knowing the level of concern that his raid caused.

OK, speaking of TV themes, the long, uncensored, version of this one ...

OK, in my experience ...

A couple years ago I had to bring my car to the dealer because the "Service Engine" light was on.

Long story short, $2,000 later, I had my car back.

It seems that, in my garage, a mouse got into the car and ate the insulation of the wiring harness, resulting in a short circuit among the wires.

Yeah, the wiring harness of a car seems to me to be one of the first things placed on the assembly line as the car moves forward. So, stated differently, it is not an easy thing to replace.

In my instance, the service tech told me that he used a fiber video camera to look along the wiring harness as it went through the structural beams of the car. And that he saw no other damage.

Since then, I have done ...

I now have mouse traps in the garage. And, they have been quite effective in their goal. (I live near woods that go on to NY, so the vermin often come in from those woods...)

The traps catch a mouse or two or three every month or so.

... He wasn't surprised. Rodent damage is something his garage deals with every fall and winter, but Krueger and other automotive repair shops are seeing more of it.

And while some blame the newer plant-based wire insulation making the electrical wires especially tasty to mice and squirrels, Kreuger believes mice are thriving because they have fewer natural predators now. ...

@#19 ... The decomposing------------------- just spent $40 billion buying the election for Milei while American children are starving. ...

Yeah.

Apparently trying to buy the election for a politician with views he likes.

And also a transfer of money that may benefit his billionaire supporters?

@#155 ... How is that any different from a woman deciding a baby doesn't get to live? ...

Maybe you might want to explain your assertion that the man can require the woman to go through the nine months needed to bring that "experience" for him to being a baby?

Why do you seem to want to assert such control and domination over women?

@#10 ... Farmer Boyd, when you voted for trump it was already obvious that he was a career criminal, liar, rapist and traitor. It did not dissuade you from voting for him. You voted for him. You voted for him. You got exactly what you deserved. ...

I agree, with one minor change.

If I may ...

... Farmer Boyd, when you voted for trump it was already obvious that he was a career criminal, liar, rapist and traitor. It did not dissuade you from voting for him. You voted for him. You voted for him. You got exactly what you voted for. ...

OK, I do not, in any shape manner or form, want to say that to farmers of America deserve the atrocities that Pres Trump seems to be tossing upon them.

The farmers of America deserve our respect, they feed us. I do give them my respect for that.

That aspect aside, maybe those farmers might make different political views known in their futre visits to the voting booth?

... When the shutdown started, Republicans surmised Democrats would cave and vote to reopen the government in a matter of days.

Fifteen days into the shutdown, Democrats are more dug in than ever, and Republicans now say they expected this strategy all along.

"They have to show their base who hates Trump that they're fighting back," Rep. Don Bacon said. "There's not a clear way out for them. They say they want guardrails' but no specifics."

"They'd like to keep the focus on Republicans and on President Trump, at least for the time being. But they miscalculated, making such unreasonable, overreaching demands" for the short-term funding bill, Sen. John Cornyn told NOTUS. "I don't know how they're going to get out of this, but we're not going to negotiate until we get the government back open."

When a reporter asked Republican Sen. Katie Britt on Oct. 1 how the shutdown would end, she was firm.

"They'll blink," she said of Democrats. ...

@#141 ... I see where you're coming from. ...

Do you?

Your comment seems to indicate a substantial ignorance of where I may be coming from.

... My opinion is, if a man is willing to take responsibility for the child and raise it, he should have the legal right to require her to carry the baby. ...

So a man can force a woman to do something that the woman may not want to do?

And you seem to be OK with that?

@#138 ... Got a mommy/daddy split on that stat? ...

In my family, it was interesting.

While they were waiting in line at the abortion clinic, he told her, no, let's not do this. Let's have our child.

And they got married and the child has become an amazing person (two decades later, now).

And, fwiw, the wife seemed to remain promiscuous, while the husband was the responsible one in raising the child.

@#135 ... This is numbers without all the rationalizing. ...

... and that matters to this current discussion ... how?

@#126 ... If women truly respected themselves, they'd respect the power that comes with creating life ...

Aren't men a part of that power of creating that life?

On aspect I do notice in your comments is that the problem described seems to be with women, and not the men who assault them.

Why is that?

@#129 ... The burden is ultimately on women to not make themselves accessible. ...

The usual, aggressive horny men are OK, the problem is with the women.

What do you think about a man raping a women?

Is that still OK for you because that woman may have "made herself accessible?"

@#126 ... The real issue is how little respect liberals actually have for women and how little respect some women have for themselves. ...

So, apparently mixing religion with politics, something that your current has said it does not do.

@#17 ... Every idiot here said "Open borders is great" ...

First your current trolling alias needs to define "every idiot here" as it uses that phrase.

What's it got?

More from the article ...

... Just 25% of Hispanic adults have a favorable view of Trump -- a 19-point decline from the start of his second term, the Associated Press-NORC poll found.

Hispanic adults are also becoming more dissatisfied in Trump's job performance, according to the survey.

In March, 41% of Hispanic adults approved of the way Trump was handling his job as president, but now that has fallen to 27%.

The survey also found a larger percentage of Hispanic adults -- 73% --now say the country is going in the wrong direction than the 63% who said the same in March.

The shift could spell trouble for Republicans looking to cement support with this group in future elections. ...

@#123 ... Did any of them show up to this rally?

The argument is they didn't. ...

... and, you know that ... how?

So, the Trump admin, after cutting off food aid to Americans who need such aid to live, now has stopped the reporting of the problem is seems to be exasperating?

@#17

From the article you cite ...

... The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) under the administration of President Trump announced on Saturday that it will end a longstanding annual food insecurity survey, calling it "redundant, costly, politicized, and extraneous."

The Household Food Security Report provides yearly data on the lack of access to adequate nutrition for low-income Americans, and helps shape policy on how to combat food insecurity and hunger. ...

@#15 ... Putin has elections yet he's still a dictator. Funny how that works. ...

Yeah, you noticed that as well.

If Pres Trump achieves his goal of winning the House in 2026 (via politicians choosing voters instead of voters choosing politicians), then what would the Trump-servant House do in the 2028 election?

Might they refuse to certify any candidate who had the nerve to out-vote Pres Trump? And then put in place a policy that allows Pres Trump's reign to continue in future years?

@#121 ... Gay marriage threatened-approximately 20 million gay people in America ...

imo, that may be an under-estimate.

@#3 ... Where did France steal them from? ...

That's a good question.
