13 thousand murderers? Bwaaaaahahahaa!

The actual number has been published by ICE because Republicans in Congress asked for a report. There have been over 13 thousand convicted murderers documented by ICE over a 40 year period with the vast majority of them either jailed or in jail outside the ICE system which doesn't permanently house convicts.

There are not currently 13,000 immigrant murderers free roaming US streets which is what Trump is trying to get dupes to buy.

Given that the main supporters of the GOP may be the senior citizens of the Country

who kept herself hidden.

She's a career prosecutor whose chief job is to talk in open court, but she's afraid to speak?

She was a prominent US Senator from the largest state in the Union, shown multiple times during Judiciary hearings making Trump appointees almost cry due to her questioning and you missed all this?

I've seen comments untethered from reality many many times, but your lunacy is untethered to the observable universe Robson. Where do you get such idiotic oblivious ideas - usually the complete opposite of the factual truth?

Lumpers yesterday: DeSantis is "playing political games" with Hurricane Milton

Get a clue moron, every single story has included quotations saying that DeSantis had spoken with Biden. Every.Single.One.

That was never the inference. The story became a story when a reporter asked the WH press secretary if VP Harris had spoken with DeSantis and the answer was that she had tried but he wasn't available and hadn't called back. Then another reporter asked a DeSantis aide about this and was told he didn't take the call(s) because he felt Harris was being political.

DeSantis brought politics into it, not Harris. She hadn't said a word about it until after the White House made its statement.

The United States has needed comprehensive immigration reform for decades now and each time a bipartisan bill has reached the floors of Congress, the Republicans have defeated them - even when they were the ones who wrote said bills.

No President can fix the immigration problem with executive orders - they can only address specific problems under scrutiny at the time, analogous to the squeaky wheel getting the grease while the entire transmission needs overhauling.

As I stated earlier - and as Trump himself has demonstrated over and over - the GOP is not interested in dealing with immigration because their hardliners don't want any legal immigration from countries they incessantly smear and demagogue. Their complaints drip with insincerity because they are insincere. Only one party has ever wanted to deal with comprehensive immigration reform and that party remains the only one who's ever undertaken any tangible steps to ameliorate the problem outside of relying on draconian crackdowns and building expensive barriers that can be overcome with inexpensive tools from Home Depot or the local hardware stores.

LOL You mean the administration didn't care about American borders until people complained? The President is nothing but a reactionary?

The process started in 2021, not 2024. You'd know this if you actually lived in America.

#6 continued

Neither her or Joe ever wanted to do anything to curb the influx of illegal immigrants until housing started getting scarce and people began to notice the change in the demographics in the cities.

Imbecile says what?

In a different interview he said he's completely focused on the incoming storm and doesn't have time for politics.

Kamala Harris is the VPOTUS, she doesn't make frivolous calls. In less than 40 days, she may become the President-elect. Does Ron really think that all of Florida's storm needs from the federal government will be fulfilled by 1/20/25 at 12pm? If not, he just insinuated that the ELECTED VICE PRESIDENT's (that may become POTUS in less than 100 days) - who has personally spoken to every other affected Governor - concerns for Floridians dealing with storm damage (in Ron's mind) is nothing more than politics.

What an azzhat!

Make a joke about assassinating a right leaning political figure and everything is just fine. - Rcade

Oh Eggohead, now you're putting words into RCade's mouth? Hmmmm. I think he can speak and act for himself without any input from oxygen-starved breakfast food.

But methinks your elevator doesn't quite reach as high as you think. Wishing someone is 'set on fire' isn't saying the speaker necessarily wants them assassinated. Fires happen all the time and people parish in them without anyone setting out to intentionally do it.

As I see it, wishing someone to be caught in a fire is no different than wishing someone perishes in a car accident or any other method short of murder. Funny you read it that way. Kinda reveals how your diseased-mind malfunctions, wouldn't you say?

This is a joke

No, the joke is you and others who choose to ignore the same bureaucratically-produced numbers you've touted for years when they were high - never doubting their veracity.

I know why these numbers are down and there are multiple factors as to why. Try reading objective sources sometimes and you might learn what happens here on Earth 1 when competent officials put in the international work to correct immigration issues instead of simply running before tv cameras and demagoguing them.

Some states will not be able to count all their votes for days.

You'd think the crustacean kook would know that there's no way for Trump to win by 11EST when his minions are making sure that votes in key states can't be counted completely on election night regardless. Pennsylvania and Georgia cannot complete their counts by then and Trump needs both to reach 270.

However, if Harris wins North Carolina (an early call) and wins Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, she could have enough electoral votes by 11 even if Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Arizona aren't called by then. In fact, Harris wouldn't need any of the aforementioned states in order to hit 270, while Trump has no path whatsoever without both PA and GA.

#12

Only idiots and Trumpers always assume that if a topic is mentioned negatively then it means everything about the topic is negative.

Biden kept effective Trump tariffs and implemented others to protect US industry from foreign government subsidized imports that would undercut nascent US producers.

What Biden nor Harris aren't doing is misrepresenting tariffs on imported goods as being paid for by the importers and not US consumers who'll face higher prices when taming inflation is one of the chief economic goals.

But you know all this, Commondolt, don't you? You're simply too disingenuous to paint the complete picture because it doesn't serve your divisive and subversive agenda.

Bot be gone.

Border Patrol's tally of migrant apprehensions in September is the lowest number recorded by the agency since August 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic and the travel restrictions countries enacted in response to it led to a sharp decrease in migration to the U.S. southern border. It's also a 78% drop from a record high in December, when illegal border crossings soared to 250,000.

U.S. immigration officials processed another 48,000 migrants in September at legal border entry points, known as ports of entry, according to the internal federal data. Most of them secured appointments to enter the U.S. via a phone app the Biden administration has transformed into the main gateway into the American asylum system.

Since good news travels far more slowly than Trump lies do, the emerging polling showing Americans now trust Harris more than Trump to deal with the issues they feel most important to them should only continue to widen, as the now demonstrated ability of the Biden/Harris Administration to positively address these concerns with tangible results will hopefully carry more weight with voters than Trump's fantastical prognostications and self-serving boasts - almost all of which have been proven wrong or only towards his own benefit, not the nation's.

He needs to save state funds to resume flying immigrants from TX to Martha's Vineyard.

He and Governor Hot Wheels will have a hard time filling their planes and busses these days. Perhaps they haven't heard yet:

Let's say it's true, which sources say it's not

I just heard DeSantis say this himself on video, but he also stated that no one informed him that Harris had tried to call, which makes the DeSantis aide quoted in the article perhaps a gatekeeper and the actual reason the two haven't spoken.

DeSantis didn't say that he wouldn't take her call, he said that he didn't believe that she'd tried to call him in the first place - a wholly different statement than the unnamed aide who indeed confirmed that Harris tried to call DeSantis.

Sounds like one of Ron's aides is making executive decisions for him or he openly lied and indeed gave the orders the aide followed.

During pregnancy, the placenta forms in the uterus, where it provides the fetus with nutrients and antibodies, and protects it from viruses and toxins. Then, it follows the baby from the body, still filled with a wealth of stem cells, collagens and cytokines that doctors and researchers have realized make it uniquely useful after birth, too.

Research has found placenta-derived grafts can reduce pain and inflammation, heal burns, prevent the formation of scar tissue and adhesions around surgical sites and even restore vision. They're also gaining popularity as a treatment for the widespread issue of chronic wounds.

And yet, of the roughly 3.5 million placentas delivered in the United States each year, most still wind up in biohazard disposal bags or hospital incinerators. That flummoxes Ms. Townsend, who returned to her job as a surgical assistant with a new perspective. "I'm constantly in these hospitals that don't donate or utilize the placental tissue," she said. "I hear the obstetrician say, I don't need to send that to pathology or anything; just trash it.' I cringe every time."

Because the placenta protects the fetus from the maternal immune system, its tissue is considered immunologically privileged: Even though it's technically foreign tissue, placental grafts have been found not to prompt an immune response in transplant recipients. That means, unlike skin grafts from animals or cadavers, placental grafts are basically not rejectable. The placenta's tissue also contains proteins and sugars that spur patients' cells to multiply quickly, and the grafts have been shown to encourage rapid skin and tissue regrowth. In one case, doctors essentially regrew the tip of someone's nose.

"We call it a healing factor, but a better way to put it is it's a regenerative factor," said Dr. Scheffer Chuei-Goong Tseng, an ophthalmologist in Miami who's spent decades studying the use of placental grafts to treat eye injuries and diseases and whose company manufactures and sells them. "Healing is broad; you can heal but still scar. We are talking about healing almost without scarring."

It maybe off, but he appears driven.

as the ammo companies and righties will gladly play up the narrative if "they're gonna take y'ur guns!"

So righties are going to believe that Kamala is going to force herself to give up her treasured Glock?

Well, they believe all the lies that Trump and Vance pump out daily, spewing like an oil well blowout, so you're probably right.

Another view:

And why would he waste time speaking with her when all she is wanting is an opportunity to make it political.

No other governor has made this assertion Gracie because it simply doesn't happen in any overt way. There has been ZERO public transcripts of any conversations that either Biden nor Harris have had with in state officials regarding disaster relief. Phone calls are the general protocol, they happen every single time, and usually governors welcome them and relay to their constituents that the White House is looking out for their well being, seeing as how there Americans as well as state citizens.

We'll have to agree to disagree. Phone calls are a normal part of White House outreach post disaster. They're a personal touch, and while it is weeks before an election, the calls don't become political when they're the usual protocol under identical circumstances.

As it regards my family, they made it to a home south of Orlando but obviously they're unlikely to avoid the storm there either. But her current home is only 1 mile inland from the Gulf. She's in a far better location than her home.

I will not hesitate to call him. ... But everything we've asked for, from President Biden, he has approved," DeSantis said.

Would it have killed Ron to simply speak briefly and tell them "Thanks for all you're doing(?)"

Let's say it's true, which sources say it's not, why would he waste his time talking to Harris when is managing his state very well and getting what he needs from the president?

A source familiar with the situation said he was dodging the Democratic presidential nominee's calls because they "seemed political," according to a DeSantis aide.

"Kamala was trying to reach out, and we didn't answer," the DeSantis aide told NBC News.

And it's never "wasting one's time" to speak to the President or Vice President when they're calling about a natural disaster that's befallen your state, as federal workers coordinate with state personnel to serve the American citizens affected by the storms. Perhaps the Governor had an issue with the federal personnel in his state he could have personally addressed with either Executive.

I don't think I've ever heard a leader say that his nation's President and Vice President are only trying to reach him due to "politics." Everything is about politics ultimately whenever elected politicians are involved, including DeSantis' refusal. He wants to avoid the criticism from Trump other Republican governors are getting for countering Trump's false allegations that FEMA's response is lacking or underfunded due to the other job Congress gave them to fund immigrant programs in the states which are paid for from a separate budget established by Congress, not by the whims of the White House.

And just on this point of the phone calls alone, didn't Trump make it a political issue himself when he wrongly stated that Biden had not spoken to Governor Kemp along these very same lines?

So, I'm right and you still take a swipe?

The truth is never a swipe, ... it's the truth.
