Trump ended the crisis he created by chickening out.
Big ------- deal.

I find these sorts of statements so interesting from my Liberal cohorts. Its like you don't understand American history, and how "progressive" policies have gotten so incredibly restrictive. What on the surface look like good ideas (save the wildlife), end up being weapons against progress.

Marin is the most liberal progressive area in California, not one republican to block anything and yet ...

Take another victory lap, Republicans..

Now do Canada? Which is way ahead of the US.

All due to unfettered unvetted, unvaccinated immigration.

Watch how much worse the next leading republican is treated than Trump was treated. Racist, homophobe, drug addict, pedophile, etc.

I don't doubt about the racheting up of the tactic. Doesn't mean it works in general for the populace.

Maybe the fear tactic is just affecting the 2-4% of "independents." and thats enough.

but regardless......what distinguishes me from most here is that I'm not afraid of what a president can take from me.

This is a sane response for the most part. But in WA and CA, and SFO, I am seeing the window opening on the discussion around confiscating unrealized gains. I suspect this will increase. I am more affected by my State laws than the Federal.

Eventually this window of discussion will open at the Federal level. Soon, Americans will be taxed on unrealized gains in some form.

Is your google broken?

So you're saying I need to use Google for instance of a supposed "fear" tactic that changed an election.

Doesn't that alone discredit your claim?

said the terrorists had a first amendment right to terrorize people at worship.

You're saying some anon posting on a website with 40 users is affecting the outcome of elections?

Snoofy, you're a smart guy.

Who? only political people would state this hurt someone running a poor campaign. They will state over and over again its the messaging.

But IMO thats not how the average person thinks.

IF you claim "willy horton" affected peoples votes, then you have to admit all the "Trump is Hitler", "Trump is a felon" is BS as well and just say it to scare people.

Is this the case?

How many of two million illegal immigrants are criminals?
The Republican answer is: Two million.

Its interesting you don't comment on Krugman, you raise a point again and again and Krugman's position is you're completely wrong.

Anything to own the Republicans I guess.

You're saying the Democratic party doesn't use fear tactics to scare their base away from 3rd party candidates?

What is a fear tactic? Claiming Trump is the devil? This doesn't move 80-90% of the Democrats. Its only Lumpers here spurging on the piss yellow background that get excited about it.

I suspect, people can vote against something, but average people see through all the noise and vote for things that they want to see happen (more taxes, better schools, etc etc)

I am not a voter yet, but I will vote for things that in my opinion make things better for me and my community.

I think we have a lot of voters who vote against that which they are afraid of?

I don't imagine fear is why people vote for things. Immigration became a big issue, because people could see it in their home towns. All the MSM doesn't reach most Americans, you like to think it does, but it doesn't.

Do you? Do you vote out of fear? Who here votes out of fear? Or are you arguing its only others that vote out of fear?

Its a poor argument to make, as its illogical no supported by evidence. What you could say from a psychological perspective, is those claiming others vote out of fear are the ones afraid (projection), because its what they do.

Texas has 2 million undocumented immigrants, Florida has 900,000. Minnesota has 130,000. Why is ICE making a theatrical farce there?
It's all reality tv from the appresident.

Nixon is one stupid person.

It has to do with consequences of policies, how many of the 2 Million in Texas are criminals, pretty close to 0?

Being a sanctuary state/city is why ICE is going into neighborhoods, because thats where the criminals are.

You invite clowns to your towns and then complain it's a circus when they gotta leave.

Because the tariffs are taxes that WE pay. ...

Not unlike corporate taxes.

Because none of you give a ---- about powerless Iranian protestors anyway.

They really didn't. Its so disgusting, they are more outraged by the "Fickle" approach than the massacre.

Churches are supposed to be sanctuary for the oppressed.

Oppressed? Who was more oppressed last night, parishioners or the protesters?

Its also hilarious how the yard stick has been moved to "WHATABOUT" the federal government.

I see you idiots.

Which is worse, a group of random protesters or the federal government invading a church?
#88 | POSTED BY TRUTHHURTS

Obviously the protesters. See the FACE Act.

Whats the logic that the Federal Government can't enter a church looking for a criminal. Its hilarious you use the term "invading" but when righties use the term for Millions of illegal border crossings you go non-linear.

Are you saying they couldn't enter in event of a hostage situation, a shooting perhaps, much like happened 5 months ago in MN?
Are churches sacred ground that the federal laws don't apply?

Whats the law specifically?

How people and societies treat the poor, the hungry, the immigrant, the foreigner, and the stranger are among the most important aspects of biblical teaching from the beginning of the OT to the end of the NT.
~ Corkster

The bible doesn't concern itself with societal treatment, the bible is about the individual only. This ruse is typical of people that don't understand the bible and want to use it as a cudgel against those that don't conform to their authoritarian point of view.

I am sure Boaz will be along to condemn this. Or does this fall under conservatives confronting us?

Ridiculous, do you guys even study the Constitution?

You morons, this like saying MAGAtS can disrupt a Mosque because they are protesting.

Biden put people in jail under the FACE act, does anyone here understand American freedoms, at all?

The FACE Act (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act of 1994) is a U.S. federal law making it illegal to use force, threats, or physical obstruction to prevent people from obtaining or providing reproductive health services or exercising religious freedom at places of worship.

was more about peace-thru-strength than markets.

No it wasn't, isn't that the term Reagan coined?

Nato is "A mind unfettered in deliberation" ironically it means members should speak freely and without undue influence or passion when making important decisions.

Something clearly missing these days by Natos Eurotrash.

I'd view them as more "democracy-driven."

Europe isn't Democracy driven.

It has horrible freedom of press, and any semblance of Democracy is destroyed by the dismantling of rival popular parties.

NATO, probably the best alliance this planet ever has seen,

Only if the US keeps paying. If the US stops paying for example the Germans could only send 37 soldiers to Greenland, and that was with using a chartered airliner from Poland. Then two days later they had to send them back ...

NATO is a paper tiger without the US. Your vision is filtered and what you're looking at, is potemkin village.
