Yup, having a newborn at home means I'm not refreshing the IE page every half hour. Here's the rundown for ya:

1) Yes, tens of millions. The US has somewhere between 12 million and 20 million illegal immigrants by anyone's estimation.

2) Democrats are the ones promising free housing, free healthcare, etc. to everyone who crosses our border. Once they are here, they're entirely subsidized. No one is against legal immigration, but Democrats aren't promising free shit out of virtue. They want the votes, specifically in Texas. If Dems flip Texas blue, it's game over for presidential elections.

3) When illegal immigrants in the US have children here, the children are US citizens. So the parents who came to the country illegally will largely (not all) tell the kids to vote for Democrats because they "care."

4) It's a really easy sell for Dems to ignore the border problems, promise free shit to millions of poor people, and tell anyone who opposes that they're racist.

5) Yes, the border has been a problem for decades but Biden admin won't even go down there or acknowledge the problem. We have already had record breaking numbers of illegal immigrants coming across the border and they're not all from Mexico. This is indisputable. And for the 86th time on here, it doesn't matter if they're from Guatemala or Sweden or South Korea. It's illegal and they aren't all asylum seekers. There are requirements for that and being poor isn't one of them.

6) Canada or Mexico wouldn't accept 500,000 Americans who all needed housing, food, clothing, healthcare and education paid for by taxpayers but for some reason the US is expected to take everyone who shows up.

7) On top of all this, the coyotes and drug cartels running people and drugs are all living large these days.

I’m always astounded by the “they are just doing the rational humane thing to get votes.” I’m pro-rational and -humane. This is the world’s melting pot. Melt already!

I'm always a bit astounded by this stance. We're ALL in favor of doing the humane thing and such, but NO OTHER nation on Earth just throws open their borders and says, "Come on in!" to anyone and everyone. No nation can afford to do that economically nor culturally. We have immigration laws that set standards, restrictions, qualifications, and such, just like every other country has. We're all in favor of allowing immigration to those who meet those standards and follow our laws regarding immigration. Where do you get the idea that just letting everyone in who wants in, regardless of situation, our ability to handle such an influx, their disregard for our immigration laws, and etc. is a good thing? Do you see any other country doing that?

It's very similar to helping the needy on a personal level. Most of us contribute to charities or help the homeless, hungry and needy in other ways. Lots of us buy groceries for hungry people, pay utilities for poor people, pay medical bills for those in need, or contribute time & money to help the homeless or others in need. I've done all those things and even let family and friends who were down on their luck or going through a hard time stay at my home for awhile. Most of us in here have done this. We want to do the humane, decent thing. It doesn't mean we open our house to anyone and everyone who needs a place to crash or a hot meal. None of us can afford to let half the hungry homeless people in town crash at our house and just move in. Those of you advocating for open borders and encouraging unrestricted illegal immigration by promising them free housing, food, medical care, etc. and just saying it's humane and time to melt already, would never dream of applying this same approach to their personal lives and letting everyone in need move into their house.

Try again Cack. I did make a comment about the outrage shown because he's fathered several kids (Shawn Kemp reference), but I've already made several comments about him as a candidate.

Also- here is video of Abbott debating Beto. I couldn’t find a video for Hobbs in AZ or Fetterman in PA.

Click to expand...

First debate Abbott requested no crowd it was only Beto and him. They were both invited to a public forum and Abbott declined

At the same time Cruz calling out Dems for not debating…. Hmmm ok

original.newsbreak.com

Abbott is a no show to a debate with Beto in Dallas - NewsBreak

"Greg Abbott was a no-show at tonight's debate." Beto O'Rourke. Democrat nominee for Texas Governor, Beto O'Rourke, took to Twitter this evening to criticize his opponent, Greg Abbott, for not showing up to a debate at the Dallas Examiner's offices today.

So those who lost their minds about a leader in government saying it would surely not be hypocritical and give this lady who actually did it and paid hush money a pass, or is this just politics?

So we are all agreed that people that do these types of things shouldn't hold office. Probably would clear out about half of Congress. Obviously I'm going a bit overboard, but far too many people in politics are just there for the power kick. It's a given that some of those with power use that inappropriately in a sexual manner.

Also, does touching girls inappropriately during Vice Presidential photo ops count the same?

Not a shock to see Gabbard leave the Dems. Sort of been expecting this for awhile. She's long been at philosophical odds with most of their woke, socialist, everything's racist BS.

So now Pelosi is the most attractive looking Dem…when she has her teeth in of course.

Al Franken got wrecked for intraparty squabble reasons at the height of MeToo BS and Katie Hill was the kind of liability/legal headache no party would tolerate.

Yup. The Democratic Senators forced Franken to resign. They basically sacrificed him, denying him any kind of due process. They all basically later said they regretted it. At the time though, he was just collateral damage so that the party could claim the higher ground. They knew that he would be replaced by another democrat anyhow.

The sacrifice was minimal in each instance and both had pictures. Remember the difference between an alleged event and a photographed one is huge.

I denounce bad police too. All the time. Oh no!!! I’ll tel anyone including y’all. For the record if you want to see how many GOP people speak with RT you won’t be happy. Lol. They have an American outlet here and have been doing business in America for a long time but NOW they are state media when it suits the narrative lol.

www.rt.com

Trump cuts interview short, hangs up on journalist

The latest chat with Donald Trump ended with the Republican abruptly hanging up on his interviewer after a contentious debate about the 2020 election, in which the ex-president continued to insist widespread fraud occurred.
www.rt.com www.rt.com

I know it’s easy to forget but let’s not forget who actually traveled to Russian to talk to Putin on July 4th (from your article you posted above buried at the bottom after they spent the whole article smearing Barnes)

“In 2018, Johnson was part of a delegation of eight Republican lawmakers who participated in the first congressional delegation to Russia since the annexation of Crimea four years earlier. As part of the trip, Johnson and the others ended up spending the Fourth of July in the U.S. Embassy in Moscow”

Putin takes Crimea and 8 GOP congress persons travel to see Putin on our Independence Day. Woof!
