Strange. I thought we were deporting them.
I was thinking for the ones (most probably) who are now preparing for the inevitable (deportation threat) to move to the sanctuary cities and places where the governors are saying they will not allow that to happen before Trump gets into office. I welcome it actually. I hope these states and municipalities get what they are asking for. It will completely overwhelm them and destroy their strongholds.

Do us a favor and open your doors to a few of them and show us how good it works for you.
 
People wouldn't keep up the fight if they thought the money was being drained - and they'd know. Besides, Ukraine is shorthanded. Can't much afford the money drains you claim. Where's a solid money trail? Don't tell me you don't have one. It's ignorant on the face of it.
How do you know "and they'd know"
Where is your knowledge train?
 
what do you mean "if proven true"? There were over a dozen precincts that had more votes than registered voters. Are you going to do the thing where people make an allegation and a judge refuses to hear it and you claim that proves the allegation is false? It's like the Kari Lake governor race. They wanted a recount. they refused and refused. They finally allowed her to recount 5000 votes and they found enough discrepancies that if that carried out through the rest of the ballots, it would have changed the outcome. The judge refused to let her recount anymore ballots because there was no proof that the rest would be as bad.

LOL.



When you see something like this do think "we need to see some evidence"?
Please stop falling for this troll bait. Put him on ignore. He's just wasting space and oxygen.
 
You'd be the exception to the rule.
I enjoy these talks. I really do. My dad would fit right along with most of you, but my sister has burned the bridge for any political talk. I’ve shared snippets you guys have shared with my dad so that he lowered his guard. I’d just like for him not to get so angry all the time about politics. It cannot possibly be good for the BP.
 
So, Biden is not in this world most days, no telling who is pushing the buttons now but I know....

And Laughmala vacations... Yeah that is how real leaders do it... (With all the turmoil in the world right now...) Take a vacation ... (Got her "wittle" feelings hurt and is whining...)

You should learn to have such conversations without being offensive.

THis is part of our cultural problem of "not discussing religion or politics" in polite company. I haven't read your posts, and likely won't, but what I have from people posting like you, say someone like Nightwish or DreadLox, are so remarkably obtuse and unjustifiably arrogant that they strain credulity. If you bring that type of attitude to someone older with demonstrated competence, it's likely you'll frustrate them by your ignorance.

But one should never get upset by politics, i.e. opinions. Tha's dumb. People are tribal and have political beliefs for a host of irrrational reasons. Tha'ts just as dumb.

I won’t bore with details, but to sum up conversations with my dad go:

Dad says something.
I challenge or ask a question.
Dad refuses to answer or goes into diatribe.

So my approach has now been to find things that I somewhat understand or agree with and start the conversation down a path where there’s common ground. Once I do this, we can talk more about differences.

When I post here, I’d like to extend the conversation so that it isn’t so open/shut, like most of the post I see. If I feel like I’m sucking too much air from the room, I’ll go back to lurking.

Well, provided you're genuinely actually interested in having productive dialogue with him, give me an example and I'll tell you where your/his error is.

"Spent 3k on X, 2k on Y, and 3k on Z this week. I can't keep doing this" -Dad (Dad is renovating house).
"Yeah, its tough. Everything is expensive" -me
"I cannot wait for Trump to get into office so things get cheaper." -Dad
"Me too, but what exactly is he going to do to help?" -me
"He's not going to let companies take care of Americans." -Dad
"But how?" -Me
"Don't be a smartass. I don't know, but we didn't have this problem when he was in office." -Dad

Last phone conversation went something like this that mentioned politics.

You first.
 
Correct, but francophone Africa still uses it. There’s a video by TLDR that explains it with better detail about the Sahel region and why switching from the franc upsets France that I can post.
The Fr franc has no value, but apparently these places don't know it. France won't exchange euros for 20 years+ old francs. No other place would either.

The MAGA folks that take offense at anything they perceive to be less than 100% MAGA are a much bigger issue here than he is.

if your economy is dependent on illegal non citizens then you’re commiting crime



Jmo but deportation wont cause the price of goods to go up at least not by much. 1) other than small construction and small farming, barely anyone employees illegals.

The real consumer cost pressure is going to be the game of chicken with tariffs. Thats because outsourcing is where companies really spread their margins. However even that wont impact consumer prices too much, because marketplace competition.

So where will companies make up the difference? It will have to be cutting insane ceo pay. Or by saving on the fortune they spend on specialists to navigate administrative boondoggles.

The left are constantly screaming tax the rich, especially ceos and companies. So this will achieve that goal. I assume theyre happy?
