You seem like the type who doubles down on a bad decision because you're incapable of admitting you were wrong.

Did Corky or DonorBot post on this thread? I don't see them?

All true. It's a sporting event to many people.

This is my analogy, I like it. It helps me navigate this space better.

The team should be America.
The goal should be for Americans to win.

You say this, but I can show example after example where you and other Lumpers put "Americans" belowiIllegal Immigrants, and even us legal immigrants.

Laken Riley? Iryna Zarutska? Kathryn "Kate" Steinle ? I could go on and on and on....

Anyone familiar with CCP propaganda recognizes what Democrats are doing with this Cornell business.

Democrat Elites clearly have nothing to run on, so they drag out this old tired trope.

Do you know what the Duke Lacrosse BS gave America? Stephen Miller.

IF you want to help America stop with this crap and solve peoples problems. Otherwise you make more Stephen Millers.

I personally have a problem with this.

But if you are a US citizen why would you want to allow international students take spots of qualified citizens?

Look if there aren't qualified US citizens I can see the point of allowing them in.

I know for upper graduate levels it was full of us foreign nationals. How many US citizens did we replace? Probably a lot.

I consistently run out of SS check long before I run out of month. Suck it, Troller.

Did you have kids?

Better prepare for the 20% cut coming. Around 2030 SS will go to only being able to spend the revenue it TAKES.

Boomers could have had more kids, but they didn't, they even told their children to not have children.

Good luck, WelfareKing!

For example, I receive a 30% discount on property taxes from my town because I am over 65 and I meet the income levels. I've no issue with that. It is all conducted in an open, transparent manner.

Wow this is hilarious.

Next time you ask people to pay more taxes, look in the mirror.

Baby boomers ... whaaa!

You get destroyed by FACTS, and this is the best you can now do.

You're pathetic Donorbot.

like Christianity, communism would be nice if anyone actually tried it for the common good.

These utopian visions, and their enthusiasm lack any understanding of human nature.
When anyone says "If people would just .....", this is a person who doesn't understand the nature of people.

You hear these words from Politicians, preachers and charlatans.

I've never understood how economies of scale apply to everything but federal government spending.

This is because people that work in the government have negative incentive for it to go well and improve peoples lives. Their job would disappear.
Politicians hear about the negative, then the anger trickles down to the bottom defused more and more at each level, who regardless of the politician are still employed forever.
Earning more than the private sphere, with better benefits.

Take the Department of Education, at no point after its creation did it produce or influence the education system in the US to be better than before it existed.

In the private sphere, there is incentive. Earn more money,-------- off, get fired its all there.

If they don't want to be compared to nazis they should stop saying things nazis said and doing things nazis did.

This is such a dishonest statement. NAZI is a rhetorical device, its been used so much in the past that in 1951 they coined the phrase "Reductio ad Hitlerum", as a variation of the ad hominem fallacy.

SpeaksLikeAnIdiot believes it literally.

The fact that SpeaksLikeAnIdiot keeps using that on every post, just shows how dishonest he is.

This website has horrible HTML support, my preview had a Euro symbol ... then it gets deleted when I post ... NOW that is something truthnlies should complainabout.

The protests are exposing broader anger across Europe over school funding and classroom conditions.

If they didn't burn down NEW 90M Euro schools, I might actually believe TruthNLies.

They had a student on France TV complaining about getting up at 10am for classes, and everyone laughed.
The protests have turned even immigration proponents against immigration.

The People will decide what matters.

Not if you live in California. I have pointed out 3 times where the people voted for propositions only to-be turned down and ignored by the executive and judicial branches.

The current rules on housing were also never voted upon.

Except you need to list things democrats actually do,

Or not do.

I could be wrong but doesnt Donner live in Cali and they send everyone a mail in ballot now?

I think he does, norcal.

They do send out ballots by mail, and they have drop boxes for them. But still at the local library you can vote in person.

I'm genuinely shocked he didn't mention San Francisco.

It's clear to everyone without TDS what Trump meant.

True.
Are you guys really that dumb or do you just enjoy being pants ------- nancy boys?
They're both?

It's cute that our "open borders liberal" oneirnut is trying to rescue lyin' lil jeff.
#56 | POSTED BY ALEXANDRITE

I am not rescusing anyone, just showing how poorly your argument is, its not difficult..

But if you are claiming defeat, so be it.

I am a true Liberal, my "open border" is if you belong to a country that isn't dumping criminals you should have the right to visit anywhere without a VISA so long as you have a passport.

I argue about the hypocrisy of people just running across the border without any ID, and remaining illegal in this one, sending cash back to their old country.

Until the US law represents this reality I will argue illegal immigrants are in fact illegal.

I guess mr. "Pants are a poll tax" ran back to X.
#58 | POSTED BY ALEXANDRITE

Well if an ID is a poll tax, so are pants.

Are you legal able to run around naked? If not ... according to your illogic its a poll tax to have to wear them to vote.

I didn't make the rules.

I can't comment on topic so I'll deflect instead and try to make it about anything other than the thread topic.

Its all they have at this point.

To all of those complaining, imagine all the people who contributed to the system, but died before they could collect anything. Be grateful you are still alive to collect.
#22 | POSTED BY CHANTRESSE

You mean like ....

Kathryn "Kate" Steinle?
Iryna Zarutska?
Riley Laken?

people like them?

Federal Law does NOT SPECIFICALLY state that the government can keep Social Security taxes and never pay them back.

It most certainly does, Flemming v. Nestor, 1960 established that citizens have no contractual right to benefits.

I blame his ESL teacher.

This is funny I site SCOTUS, you have nothing.

A report by Reuters in February 2022 found more than 200 examples of school board members being harassed or threatened. Some even received death threats targeting them or family members.

There are 80,000 school board members across the country, 200+ harassments and threats is a typical year.

There is little to no actual proof there was an increase, because no one studies it.

Its just feelz. But what the government did wasn't.

Aren't you scheduled to bite Oneironaut's ankles at this time in the evening?

Alexa is like a mosquito. He's waiting for the wind to die down.

#22,#23, #24 -> These are just deflection from dealing with a border overrun by US enemies.

You'd NEVER accept ANY amount of proof so it's a circular discussion.

DeflectionDan thinks the US had no debt but was running a Surplus in 2000 under Clinton. And that all the $40+ Trillion has been added because of Bush, and Trump.

Pretty incredible really.

He's horrible at accepting data, and even worse at arithmetic. What he describes as "Math" is really just Arithmetic.

"These universities are overwhelmingly left wing employment agencies, borderline monopolistically."

Overstating much?

No, I don't think he is..

You also said they wouldn't Attack the East West Pipeline Again.....

idk why anyone would say that, seems like an easy target, hard to defend.
