POLITICAL THREAD

[HymanKaplan]

My God you are so completely ignorant of Asylum Law.
Seeking asylum is a right protected under our current laws....Period.
The Border Bill corrected this issue. Derp derp. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Under current U.S. law, a person seeking asylum may do so by arriving at the border and asking to be screened by U.S. officials at a “port of entry,” OR by entering the U.S. without prior inspection and then declaring their fear of persecution. (ANYWHERE including by sea). It's the law.
Many policies (Remain in Mexico 😂) threaten the right to seek asylum, but none actually stop people from trying to seek protection at the border (legally via Asylum claim).

Five Things to Know About the Right to Seek Asylum

Although our laws provide a clear right for people fleeing persecution to seek asylum in the United States, anti-immigration lawmakers have purposefully sown confusion about the law, the process of applying for asylum, and what is really needed to ensure a fair and orderly system for considering...

www.aclu.org

"The right to seek asylum was incorporated into international law following the atrocities of World War II. Congress adopted key provisions of the Refugee Convention (including the international definition of a refugee) into U.S. immigration law when it passed the Refugee Act of 1980.
"An individual generally must apply for asylum within one year of their most recent arrival in the United States."

Is it legal to cross the U.S. border to seek asylum?

People arriving at the U.S. border have the legal right to request asylum without being criminalized, turned back or separated from their children.

www.rescue.org

Read it 2 or 3 times if you are still not comprehending ASYLUM law.

None of that says what you THINK it says. As far as SCOTUS is concerned (at this point) remain in Mexico is perfectly legal.

Now stop being a nuisance. Shouldn't you be outside on bus duty right now?

 

[HymanKaplan]

Was it a perfect fix... No. Was it better than the laws we have now... Absolutely.
It improved the ASYLUM issue and gave the President the option to shut down the border completely at times when the numbers are too great.
Republicans sh** the bed on this border law period.
The non MAGA American public saw exactly what went down.... especially moderate and independent voters.
The Cult only sees and hears what Trump tells them.
This bill was written by a REPUBLICAN. 😂😂😂😂
This bill was trashed by Trump.

I've tried and tried, but I swear, I can't see sam's handler's mouth move at ALL when sam speaks. It's crazy.

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

How do you know he voluntarily stepped down? None of us know the details of that. The signs all point to him being forced out.

Has Biden given an official reason for stepping down yet?

Had Pelosi and O'Bama not talked to him he would NOT have stepped down. Pelosi said yesterday she had to do what she had to do with Biden. Yeah, he was forced out. Only an idiot would not believe that.

I'm more than half serious when I say that I firmly believe that AOC has a severe learning disability. Even by politician standards she is "slow".

Are we absolutely positive that she was duly elected, and that this isn't just some sort of gag?

Even worse, she’s offensively self-assured. Only thing worse than a complete idiot is a complete idiot who 1000% believes they are the smartest person in any room they walk in and want to make sure others know it.

[trueblujr2]

He did the right thing and stepped down. They're just jealous their guy doesn't have anything approaching that grace and decency.

LOL...Joe did not "step down". He was forced out. If you can't see how patently obvious that is, you are truly blind. He was threatened with the 25th by Pelosi and Obama. It was a coup.

 

[BigBlueDave]

The right recently said Harris had fake AI crowds. Trump just accepted the endorsement of a fake AI Taylor Swift. Unfortunately, it's real life.

(pretty sure both extremes are brainwashed, but you go ahead and pretend it's only the other side lol)

Both sides 🤣

Yes there are still fools like Adam Kissinger for instance playing Republican but acting Democrat. Shut down the border? That is so laughable. I told you the end results was not going to help things and why. All the junk like that was to pander to the people that are either fly by news watchers or the people that could care less but hear through the grapevine and still go vote even though they know nothing about bills, policy or what the heck is really going on in the country. Don't be stupid. You are looking at the shell instead of the contents.

The right to receive prompt and appropriate healthcare was absolutely stripped away from women in red states.
Your pea brain thinks every aborted baby was a choice. It wasn't. Some abortions are medically necessary for the health of the mother. Some are performed because the baby is not dead yet, but will be later in the pregnancy or immediately following birth such as when a baby has no skull or other necessary body part.
But because they are technically alive, the woman is forced to continue carrying the fetus even if it may impose a later danger to herself or reproductive capabilities in the future.
Y'all are just too GD stupid to understand that abortions are often an integral part of women's healthcare. Don't take my word for it.
Go ask a doctor NOT a politician.
Weird AZZ control freaks.

Woman carrying fetus without a skull to seek abortion in another state following Louisiana ban

“Basically they said I had to carry my baby to bury my baby,” said Nancy Davis, who is about 16 weeks pregnant.

What are your thoughts on Walz stance of killing babies after they are born if a mother does not want it?

[LowerLevelSeatA]

It will literally be the end of the country. Its probably already over but what small chance we have hinges on this election.

If they win there will absolutely be amnesty and open borders, handouts galore, communism price controls implemented, etc, etc. it won't matter how bad the policies are because they will just keep importing voters and cheating, if even needed, to win.

Im still not sold they wont just amnesty everyone before the election. Ya you can sue but how are you going to undo it? Thats been their strategy since obama - do whatever crazy thing you want but do it so big that overturning it won't matter.

Yeah, you are exactly right. They will make sure they have the numbers in 4 years if they win this time. Covid was a practice run for them. They realized they could do whatever they wanted and people would follow or people would speak out but nothing would change. Got to the point where they realized they could say it all out loud and they do now. One reason I wish people would pay more attention to local elections like school board.

 

[sambowieshin]

What are your thoughts on Walz stance of killing babies after they are born if a mother does not want it?

I'm opposed to ANY late term abortions that are not associated with the mother's health.
I'm opposed to any abortion laws that give paternity rights to rapists and molesters or force children to give birth.
Basically, any extremist far right or far left abortion policy.

Here is a pretty factual analysis of current Minnesota abortion law...

VERIFY: Does Minnesota allow abortion up to birth?

A new issue ad airing in the Twin Cities prompted a KARE 11 viewer question.

[HymanKaplan]

My main take away re: Walz so far, is that he SUPPORTS killing (on the battlefield and in the operating room) but when it actually goes down, "he wasn't there"...

(I also suspect that his wife has a 12 inch strapon in the closet. No judgement, if you're into that, more power to you.)

 

[trueblujr2]

According to AOC, folks who had to come out of retirement because of inflation caused by this administration should vote for Kamala because she is for them. It’s incredible how stupid these people are that eat that garbage up and run to the polls to vote Democrat.

They've been in charge for almost 4 years now, yet in the few speeches I saw last night all I heard was yelling, anger, Trump hate and fear porn. the phuching word "DuHmOcRaThY!" yelled hundreds of times. One would think that since they are in power they would be up there selling the virtues of their accomplishments the past four years. Selling to the American public how great it's been and how we're on a path forward to prosperity and unity. But no, just yelling, hatred, vitriol, outright lies and falsehoods, and worst of all projection, towards anything on the right.

 

[trueblujr2]

He's a disgusting troll.

His whole speech disgusted me. I'm ashamed he's our Governor, especially after that.

 

[BigBlueDave]

Wait. Are you seriously saying you believe the number of illegal immigrants invading the country was “about the same” under a Trump as it has been under Biden?

“There hasn’t been a flood of illegals”???

If he’s still defending fedgov Covid numbers…

Well, you have to look at her district, which isn't exactly a group of Harvard grads.

• 51.3% Hispanic
• 17.7% White
• 15.9% Black
• 11.5% Asian
• 2.2% Two or more races
• 1.5% other

20% of her district is below the state poverty line.
Only 27% have college degrees (40% is the state avg)


.....yet they keep voting for her kind.

You sure you're not talking about the brainiacs of Ky?? 😂
As of 2022, 16.5% of Kentucky's population lived below the poverty line.
In 2022, 27.9% of Kentuckians had a bachelor's degree or higher.

 

[BlueRunner11]

I think they told him after the fact tbh.

So here's Trump's steel tariffs at work. You want even more?

"The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel recently reported that the U.S. motorcycle manufacturer plans to shift more production to Thailand. Calling the move “a kick in the teeth to American workers,” International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers President Brian Bryant has importuned Congress and the White House to intervene.

How about calling for a reversal of the Trump-Biden tariffs that are partly to blame? Recall how President Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs in 2018 prompted foreign governments to retaliate. The European Union slapped 31% tariffs on Harley motorcycles made in the U.S. China imposed 55% duties on U.S.-made motorcycles.
Because such tariffs would have rendered Harley less globally competitive, it shifted production intended for foreign customers to a new factory in Thailand. In 2019 it closed a factory in Kansas City and consolidated manufacturing in Wisconsin and York, Pa. Mr. Trump then kicked Harley by encouraging a boycott. Its U.S. sales fell 15% between 2017 and 2019."

& some wonder why I'm not all-in on MAGA.

It's all just partisan spin, exploitive of the gullible.

In fact, I cannot think of a single argument they make which is not exploitive of a person's emotions, ignorance, or naivete.

As warrior would say, False.

 

[trueblujr2]

Literally noone cares what women do with their bodies. Cosmetic surgery? Piercings? Tonsillectomy? Mastectomy? Go for it.

Abortion is different because it has nothing to do with the woman and everything to do with the child. Yes a child. With today's medicine, its very clear to see a child is indeed a child within the first trimester. Its indisputable.

Yes yes i know what if one day a 12 year old gets raped by their uncle. I am ready to concede that poor child, if it ever happens, to save the countless thousands killed out of convenience.

Ill go a step further. Im willing to agree to a rape exception if done within 10 days. Anyone raped gets a rape kit etc and would know theyre pregnant very quickly. This way at least the innocent child can die early.

Why am i willing to go these additional steps? Because once women actually see ultrasounds of their unborn child, theyll know for sure its clearly not a clump of cells. Then the entire rationalization for abortion as birth control will fall apart. Thats exactly why dems never want that to happen.

That's why I find the whole Abortion glorification and celebration at the DNC to be disgusting and sick. I don't care where you fall on the political spectrum in regards to abortion, or if you're pro-choice, having and Abortion is not something to be celebrated or "proud" of. It's not some symbol of liberation or whatever nonsense they openly display. An Abortion should be a somber moment, not something to be flagrantly flaunted out in the public square. The people who do that are disgusting.

Here is an anecdote, just to take a break from the vitriol,that I think BOTH sides will enjoy.

My next door neighbors who like to stack firewood against my fence line (which is on my property, btw) and park multiple cars "in the front yard", awoke (around 7:45) to my shockingly good cover of Bill Ward's drum parts on the classic hard rock tune, Ironman. I made sure to turn it up so that they could enjoy it.

Who decides the poverty line? Dim-supporting bureaucrats? How is that "line" adjusted for cost of living between locations? How bad off is a person in Ky below that "line"? As stated by you, that "line" is meaningless.

Duhmockracy, ya'll...

"Democracy" always leads to tyranny and one party rule with no system of checks and balances. Why do you think they keep incessantly pushing that word to the point the gullible youth and consumers of legacy media lap it up. I guarantee if you asked 100 Gen Z kids if we are a Democracy or a Constitutional Republic, 95 of them would say "Uhhhh DuuuuHmOcRaThY" They are using word play to manipulate the minds of voters to forget what they SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAUGHT in civics class.

People posting things from someone called Catturd will never not be funny. Also you guys will wave US flags at Trump rallies and fly them in your neighborhood, but then root against the USWNT and laugh at them because one dyed her hair blue and doesn’t love Dear Leader. Incredible showing of patriotism. Trump will make you do weird things.
