It's really stupid to say Reps are tearing themselves apart or that this has any serious consequences on the party. That being said, it's crazy to see how much anxiety this has caused Reps over some stupid guy who both liberal AND conservative powerhouses shmoozed with.

"This is sickening. MAGA Nation is doing everything it can to rationalize the fact that they knowingly elected and then re-elected a------------."

It's also sickening that he isn't a rapist but whiney liberals are doing everything they can to deflect from the fact that many prominent Democrats were buddies with Epstein and travelled extensively with him and his girls. In other words, liberals don't want anyone to know that liberals were part of Epstein's circle just as much as cons.

See how easy it is to make stupid statements based on conjecture?

Based on how liberals have handled this war, we now know they want to continue to enable the war machine profits over actually trying to end wars. If liberals actually listened to what they said instead of just saying whatever it is that opposes the other political party, they would actually be objective enough to see this. Liberals praised Biden's sending of military supplies only AFTER Reps started trying to block them...before that, it was just a typical response and neither side really held any strong opinion.

Since Reps fought so strongly against sending aid (and not for the right reason, so don't get me wrong in thinking I'm supporting them), Dems couldn't just think critically and logically and determine the right response. Instead, they just immediately went to whatever the opposite was of Rep support.

Now that we have a long enough trend, it is every easy to logically conclude that liberals want corporations who manufacturer these supplies to continue to do so. Which is odd considering not that long ago and for decades prior, liberals fought against the rich getting richer and especially against how much the US's defense budget is (to spell it out for the DR lib kids, the budget is what includes the buying of military supplies). Yet, now they are all about being the world's supplier of military supplies which just enables the rich and enables the US war machine.

Trump comes along and wants to stop the actual problem, which is the war. Unfortunately, being the idiot he is, he of course did it in the most blowhardest way of any blowharding in history, but that doesn't mean he was wrong. Liberals may not agree but many others do agree that they would rather have the war stop, and in a peaceful manner. So Trump tried that route first, whereas Biden did not even make an attempt (and any effort he did make was squashed because while Trump may be a blowhard, Biden is a submissive who can't be taken seriously by any world leader). Yet, Trump trying to end the war peacefully was met with hate from Dems.

Go ahead and try to argue it all you want that anything I've said above isn't accurate and doesn't follow sound logic based on the empirical evidence publicly available to us all. It doesn't change the logical conclusion. You just have to be objective enough and take off your partisan blinders to actually understand.

A simple Google search tells us 2 things...

1. Immigrants are leaving their pets behind from wherever they come from.
2. Under Biden, pets being left at the border by immigrants was a serious problem, and immigrants KNEW they wouldn't be able to bring them in.

In other words, this is nothing new. And if you care so much about the pets, then you have yet ANOTHER reason to not be pro-immigration since the migrants are leaving their pets behind when they leave in the first place.

Wooooooooooooooow....so some of you actually think this is new behavior? This isn't even hidden. Countries are open about their lobbying. They all try to lobby to get the US to do something. This has been going on since the 1800s.

But, hey, put a partisan spin on it and liberals will believe anything. I mean, Iran lobbied hard to get Obama to cut them some slack and that ended up being a multi-billion dollar payment.

Infrastructure that has taken decades to get to where it is at now, all while being ignore by politicians for decades...and yet we STILL have clueless people trying to make it a partisan issue based on who sits in the POTUS seat on whichever day the article comes out.

"Thanks, Trumpers!
Americans will long remember your contribution to our demise."

Want to know the true reason why we have so many problems. This is it. This is the biggest reason by FAR. There are a lot of other reasons but this, voters who can't get over their own bias, is the biggest problem. These kinds of people aren't holding everyone accountable for what they do wrong, they are only holding those with a different opinion than them accountable while ignoring the masses of people who are culpable over decades of time. Especially a topic that comes up almost every...single...year...regardless of which party is in office.

It is mind-boggling how myopic someone's mind has to be to actually allow themselves to be herded by puppet masters. Absolutely mind boggling. And this can't be argued because no intelligent person who isn't having their strings pulled would ever allow themselves to be so easily manipulated.

Well, first off, making claims about different reasons why this occurred, one has to wonder why they came up with distant causal relationships between numbers but didn't mention the glaring one that is most recent...Trump stopped immigration SIGNIFICANTLY. I don't find it surprising at all, less immigrants and less murders...shocking! While the numbers were going down already, they only started to steeply decline when the border closed.

I mean, if you are going to make generalized statements with very little factual basis, let's not ignore the ones with more empirical evidence than the longshots mentioned in the article. Whether it's true or not is inconsequential, all that matters is we include every possibility and stop being stupidly biased in our conclusions.

Secondly, since LA decided to stop reporting metrics regarding metadata of crimes, conclusions are even harder to make. They don't report details of the crimes anymore so there is no way to even determine what the decline can be attributed to (2022 and after).

Thirdly, if everything that was good under Biden was Biden's fault and everything bad under Biden was Trump's fault as all Dems like to say, then everything good under Trump is Trump's fault. Thank you Trump!

Rofl. I was forced to start budgeting after Biden's inability to contain covid for a long time like he said he would do and his ridiculous inflation numbers, and Trump has just prolonged it by implementing increases without a go-forward plan to enact decreases elsewhere.

Another POTUS, another negative impact to my wallet. Before these two idiots, I lost 8k a year to Obamacare, I lost a ton under W because I had to sell property in 2009 that had depreciated by a large amount, and under Clinton I lost money on futures because of his stupidity of transferring debt just because he wanted to trick voters into thinking he paid off our deficit.

Why partisan people only care about the money they lose under POTUS's that don't belong to their party is beyond me.

"MAGA government doesn't want flood management.

True. Just as much as liberal government doesn't want appropriate fire response.

This country is full of so many stupid hypocrites that it's amazing we even get anything accomplished at all.

"The State of Texas, and MAGA, are engaged in a massive evasion of responsibility and in the end will do little or nothing about these flood deaths until the next time there is a massive flood, at which time they will also evade responsibility."

Here, let me unhypocricize that for you...

The State of California, and liberals, are engaged in a massive evasion of responsibility and in the end will do little or nothing about these fires until the next time there is a massive fire outbreak, at which time they will also evade responsibility.

I mean, it's so easy to expose liberal hypocrisy that it MUST be on purpose. I just can't figure out why they want to do it on purpose. It doesn't accomplish anything. In fact, it does the opposite.

No different than when my income was lowered by over 8k per year because I was forced to get health insurance because a Democrat made it a law. I hadn't been to a doctor for a few years prior to that so never had insurance and I still didn't go to the doctor for 3 years after I paid the healthcare tax that Obama passed. So spare me how much Trump's stupid decisions will impact people. If you don't like stupid decisions being made then stop supporting them on your side, too.

"Religious conservatives claim Katrina was God's omen, punishment for the United States (2005)"

Yeah, this proves that you DO understand what hypocrisy is. So a stupid evangelist (aligning with the convservative party says that about Katrina and liberals go nuts. Yet, a natural disaster happens that impacts people of the conservative narrative and all of a sudden it's OK for liberals to claim the floods were due to the beliefs of conservatives.

Absolute proof that some of you DR lib kids do actually understand hypocrisy, which means much of what you say is predicated on the fact that you are ignoring your own hypocrisy that doesn't meet your narrative. Which is what many people have been saying and liberals have been denying. Yet, here you are, proving it beyond any doubt. Which is kind of surprising since you are one of the more vocal extreme lib kids on DR. I didn't think you would ever be so daring as to prove the point entirely. I mean, kudos for at least admitting you own your hypocrisy but why do you choose to hurt America by doing that?

Extremists on both sides are a huge problem. Unfortunately, libs and cons are too busy whining about only half of them (that don't support their narrative) and giving the other half a full pass (those who do agree with their narrative) on their extremist that nothing will ever change.

"Last time Trump was in the White House, he did the same thing, tried to enlist an army of the emotionally disabled, people who struggle with logic and need to have a strong leader to help them get through their day."

I'm sorry, have you missed the "safe spaces" of the emotionally fragile, the inability to live life without being called a certain pronoun, not understanding the logic behind why defunding those who protect you is bad, etc. of the last decade? Everything you just said describes liberals waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than cons, and there is AMPLE, VAST, and any other word meaning absolutely enormous amount of evidence that proves that.

I'm no fan of most Reps but your statement is by far one of the most absurd I've heard in a long time. Liberals can't even use enough logic to know the definition of a woman and which bathroom to use, and that's not conjecture, that is pure fact regardless if you don't like it. Again, there is an almost infinite amount of evidence to prove my case that you can't deny it.

So, that just means you are choosing to spread misinformation and hate just because your ego and vanity makes you have to get everyone to believe you for some reason. In other words, your need for validation basically just describes yourself in your own statement.

And this is no more or less dangerous and stupid than Dems hiring scientists who refuse to ever hold any different opinion about climate change even when there is peer-reviewed, empirical evidence in front of them that proves them wrong.

There is a level of anthropogenic climate change. There is also a level of nature correcting the situation itself, but not fully. Yet, if you bring up anything that says climate change isn't perfect science and there is a lot of fear-mongering over biased science, liberals go nuts. Just like cons do if anyone tries to say anthropogenic climate change doesn't exist.

So, how will this play out? That is very easy to predict. What will happen is, eventually, climate change will significantly negatively impact humanity and humanity has the ability to lessen the impacts, but we will be too busy fighting each other over whether or not it's real to actually do anything meaningful about it. That's all we do is argue back and forth over the idea and do nothing at all to actually address the problem. Spending so much time and resources on biased science keeps us from spending more of that on medical research, helping the needy, etc. And ignoring the issue completely as if liberals are just making up the good, non-biased science that does exist is equally as dangerous and stupid because it will be too late for us to do anything when the impacts cause people a lot of pain.

But hey, it's more important that liberals and conservatives whine and cry at each other constantly for decades, amirite?

There is no correlation between what is right and America's economy. By spending money on the homeless, we are doing what's right but it hurts our economy...as just one glaring example. There are a huge number of things we spend on that hurt our economy but is the right thing to do. Trying to make that causal link is just bias garbage that hurts America way more than removing illegals by any objective metric.

Also, so many liberals have already gone nuts over the fact that Biden deported way more migrants in the same amount of time than Trump has. So, if jobs were really hurting, this would have all already happened and have been a problem for several years. So, stop lying about all those farmers you "know" or have "heard" are suffering...it's not true. It wasn't true under Biden and it's not true under Trump. And our export numbers prove there isn't a huge mass of migrants leaving either so you can't use that as an excuse.

The reality is that Trump's actions have caused very trivial drops in migrant numbers and even liberal outlets have reported that. Just because it doesn't meet your narrative isn't a reason to make up things or try to use it as context to spread hate. As usual, all it does is make you look worse and causes America to suffer.
