They'll still drill with what they have, but they won't be investing in this turbulent environment..

Why did they support such a turbulent puppet then?

At the Flying J they call him a spitter.

Republican makes one comment and of course its centered around his closeted obsession with homosexuality.

Thanks for everything Lindsey, Bibi, and AIPAC!

Dont forget to thank Rupert Murdoch, the man who spent decades making america stupid and delusional, creating an alternate universe where invading iraq was patriotic, the clintons were demons from hell, and democrats are the same as communists.

Without his efforts, trump would have never happened.

LOL the current outbreak in the US is caused by lettuce from Mexico ..

According to who? The 5 guys remaining at the FDA?

Testosterone levels have nothing to do with whether someone is gay.

#69 | Posted by BillJohnson

Wanting all soldiers to be clean shaven, trip, ripped, and roided up, while installing a makeup room in the pentagon and becoming a religious wackjob has everything to do with being a closeted gay.

--All this rancor over trump speech and stolen election while the DSA comes out with its platform that would create more of a " supreme Soviet " than a democracy that you 2 faced dodo bird droppings kept warning us was being removed.

.I thought you said GOP and trump was doing that... NOT the new and growing voice / force behind the Democrat party.

This thread is about trump's speech about imaginary election fraud.

Would you like to shut down discussion of any topic besides your current obsession, crybaby?

"wahhhh stop calling us nazis!"

But Biden didn't even attempt to permanently secure the border.

I just gave you 4 consecutive posts proving you wrong. And you ignored them as I predicted you would.

4. Modest Increases to Legal ImmigrationTo encourage people to use legal pathways rather than crossing illegally, the bill would have added 250,000 new green cards over five years (split between family and employment visas) and provided immediate work authorizations to asylum seekers who successfully passed the new, stricter initial screening.

Here is why it would have reduced numbers:

Immediate Expulsions: The emergency trigger would have allowed the government to immediately turn away thousands of people daily without navigating the sluggish court system.

Deterrence via Higher Standards: By making the initial screening much tougher, a large percentage of migrants who crossed illegally would fail the first step and face rapid deportation, creating a strong deterrent effect.

Ending the Backlog Exploitation: Because cases would be decided in months rather than years, migrants could no longer rely on being released into the U.S. interior for years while waiting for a judge.

You're welcome. You may now return to your bubble of propaganda and delusion.

3. Massive Influx of Funding and Detention CapacityThe bill allocated roughly $20 billion to border enforcement. This money was earmarked for: Hiring thousands of new Border Patrol agents, asylum officers, and immigration judges. Expanding ICE detention capacity from roughly 34,000 beds to 50,000 beds to hold single adult migrants awaiting rapid deportation. Installing advanced fentanyl-detection screening technology at ports of entry.

2. Overhauling and Speeding Up the Asylum SystemHistorically, the asylum backlog has taken years to resolve, during which time migrants are often released into the U.S. awaiting a court date. The bill aimed to end this "catch-and-release" dynamic by:

Raising the Bar: It raised the initial legal standard required to pass a "credible fear" screening from a "significant possibility" to a "reasonable possibility" of persecution. This higher standard meant far fewer people would qualify to enter the legal pipeline.

Slashing Timelines: It aimed to fast-track the entire asylum determination process down to just 90 days, bypassing the traditional immigration court backlog by giving USCIS asylum officers the direct authority to approve or deny claims at the border.

Speak,

The bill was inadequate.

Democrats placed too much emphasis on increasing the government's ability to process more illegal immigrants rather than preventing illegal entry in the first place.

It contained some enforcement measures and allowed for a temporary border closure under certain conditions.

It did not attempt to permanently secure the border, which was a deal breaker.

You have a lot of conceptions.

Just stop telling yourself lies.

Dems are blind.

#121 | Posted by BillJohnson

"permenently secure" has no meaning in reality. No border is totally secure and nothing is permanent.

Here's the reality, which you will ignore because your entire life is about ignoring reality:

"Key Results of the Bill
1. The "Emergency Border Authority" (The Shutdown Trigger)The most talked-about feature was a new emergency mechanism that would temporarily "shut down" the border to most asylum seekers if crossings hit specific thresholds: Discretionary Trigger: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) could activate the shutdown if border encounters averaged 4,000 per day over a week. Mandatory Trigger: The shutdown would become mandatory if encounters averaged 5,000 per day over a week, or hit 8,500 in a single day. The Impact: When activated, anyone crossing between official ports of entry would be immediately deported without the opportunity to ask for asylum. Given the crossing numbers at the time, this authority likely would have been active almost immediately upon signing.

Dems are blind.

Says the guy who has willfully ignored a million red flags about trump and runs away when confronted about them.

How come trump can't seem to hire anyone who didn't hang out with epstein?

Everything trump touches turns to ----.

Proof that 2020 election was stolen and the Deep State worked hand in hand with China.

#11 | Posted by visitor_

Cite the proof.

Then explain why the 2016 and 2024 election WERENT stolen.

What might be happening around the world right now if Kamala had won?

I suspect Obama would likely have a great deal of say in what's going on.

The southern border would be worse than ever.

#101 | Posted by BillJohnson

The bipartisan border bill wouldve been signed into law.

Groceries would be cheaper, gas would be cheaper, nearly all consumer goods would be cheaper, healthcare would be cheaper, the deficit would be massively smaller, rich people would be a little less rich, 200 iranian school girls would still be alive instead of dead.

PS -voting for trump and ignoring all of jesus' teachings does make you a bad person

Whether or not your assertion is even true, I don't know and I don't care. I won't research it. I've never heard it.

If God is using Trump, well....I won't stand in His way.

#96 | Posted by BillJohnson

The only way you can convince yourself you are a good person who's not a gullible moron is by shutting out all the evidence to the contrary.

Only took me 2 seconds to see I don't want to watch any more of him.

Creepy voice, creepy face, creepy staring at the camera.

Immediately pegged him as smug.

I see why you'd like him.

#94 | Posted by BillJohnson

Yet 11 years of trump doesn't set off any alarm bells for you.

I can see why everyone calls you stupid.

You should learn more about how religion and faith shape different cultures.

Religions are not interchangeable, and they do not all influence people or societies in the same way.

I'm no expert, but you do not seem to understand even the basics.

#82 | Posted by BillJohnson

Did christianity prevent america from staring the vietnam, iraq, or iran wars?

Nope. christian conservatives ignored their bible and started all of them.

You ignore the basics of christianity every time you defend or support the republican party.

To what degree do you think the Iranian leadership's religious belief that Allah is on their side contributes to their determination?

#76 | Posted by BillJohnson

Are you saying we should trust countries with religious zealots in control?

We do not need to occupy the country.

#56 | Posted by BillJohnson

Your cult leader is proposing permanently occupying the water right beside the country, as if that's different.

"Better life" is a subjective concept. Is your life better if you have healthcare and people get free college, even if it means you can't afford the new iPhone or a vacation?

#189 | Posted by madbomber

As if there aren't iphones or vacations in scandanavia. They get more vacation time than we do. A LOT more.

I'm not arguing your logic, but a tax increase for me to provide things I already provide for myself would just be a tax increase.

Says the guy who is collecting socialist benefits from the american government

Hedgeseth is gay as hell. His entire personality is built around suppressing it.
He installed his own makeup room in the pentagon. He joined a psycho church to pray it away.
He wants his soldiers clean shaven and oiled up with six packs.
My money says he's a bottom.

The least gay thing about him is he doesn't wash his hands after he takes a ----. Or maybe that IS gay, and he has some sort of kink about getting spreading his santorum all over the place.
