Immigration policy is not simple. Humans are complicated, lead complicated lives intertwined with many others. To say, “They broke the law” makes it easy. It ain’t easy! We should invest in immigrants if we want our Ponzi scheme consumer economy to continue working.

Most people want to slow progress down, punish the rich, get taken of, and stop killing people in the Middle East.

Why is it so hard for the State to execute someone? Governments have large stores of drugs in evidence rooms. Overdoses are painless.

The FOX view here is that donating $1M to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund is “controversial.”

It would not be my intent to deny them the surgical option, but I’m suggesting we could be more accepting and perhaps they could find peace without such drastic and irreversible measures.

Well, I’m not saying that at all. Laws need to be enforced, but Trump is more about a lack of character, a lack of morals; and a system designed to count on them. Chasing his bad behavior and grift, if not illegal, is a just payback.

If a person has a psychological issue with their gender identity (which is largely a social norms issue), can we offer nothing but a physiological solution? This would seem similar to the logic behind cosmetic surgery.

This should NOT be a top priority. Retribution is not productive. Pass some laws restricting what future Presidents can do, but MOVE ON!! Focus on the future.

Sarkisian failed his kids yesterday. He should have at least suspended Colin Simmons and aggressively condemned his behavior. Instead, he generalized, glossed over, and practically excused him since, after all, “five sacks is pretty good.”

No position is strong enough to withstand polling data. Getting reelected is what matters most. Now, will this make her constituents smarter? We can only hope.

Yes, Trump’s position on the Iran war (and now the Houthi-Saudi conflict) is shifting frequently. That’s what happens when you are strategically and morally untethered. The best analogy I can think of is a hot air balloon.

You focus on the individual here, but there is much to be concerned about in the corporate world as well. It’s a last desperate move to keep selling to people with no money. The fact is that when people can’t afford to buy your products, you can’t really to produce them.

There is no correlation between income and worth. There are worthless people at every economic level; percentage wise, maybe more the higher up you go.

Ken Paxton has an economic “plan” based on tax cuts. That’s no plan. That won’t spur job growth and price stability. It will help the shrinking property owner class.

Trump is making the US less essential on the world stage, even as he pretends (believes?) otherwise. Ultimately, would that be so bad?

This picture says so much. A Toyota pick-up with a .50 cal in the back: cheap, lethal, easily trained and maintained. Meanwhile, the US builds Patriot missile batteries that are complex, wildly expensive, and the missiles themselves take 2-4 years to build. We are failing to learn over and over.

Of course, Trump is only supportive of things that benefit himself. He cares nothing, and probably knows nothing, of the goals of Project 2025.

Trump’s new 9/11 rescue story is an excellent example of “trimming.” He never explicitly says he was there on 9/11, but gives just enough info to help you infer it. He was down there a few days later. Bill Clinton was pretty good at this, but never to this scale or on such a topic.

If Republicans were smart, which they may be (it’s hard to know when they take no positions and just hide behind the President), they’d start talking about real issues. This “communist” crap is not very effective when you hear actual Democrats in congressional races talk about what matters to voters

When Big Tech shunned unions and convinced tech workers they were ‘apolitical’ only to turn around and lay them off by the tens of thousands… a labour day lesson: form a union the boss always lies to you.
