Is hilarious that you can validly claim Trump is virtue signaling on immigration.

The Trump moment has ****ed with my world view so hard. Just 2 months ago Republicans on here were cheering the idea of bussing illegal immigrants to us cities. Previously consistent anti war democrats are shitting Venezuela because of Russian influence. Just bizarre.

For the record, I was never in favor of letting a single illegal in any part of our country. I’m in complete favor of the military being used to obliterate anyone trying to get over here.

That’s how much I despise the third world invasion.
 
"rqarnold, post: 8015240, member: 22575"]That’s you’re opinion, you have no idea what the WH asked the pastor to do. They probably did ask the pastor to pray for the President, as well as the Va Beach victims, big deal.

There’s nothing dishonest about it. It bothered the members because of political persuasion. That’s where we’re at in the US today. Praying for the President is now a no no, it’s freaking sad. The idea the Pastor has to apologize to members is also sad. It’s a church, praying for people shouldn’t be determined by if the membership is dem or rep.
Bill, we know what the pastor said. Not one person said he shouldn’t have prayed for the man.
Give me a fricken break about “Praying for the President is a no no”...there are many of us who pray for this fool every day.
Nobody has any issue with anyone praying for him, the issue is him trying to turn it into what it was not. The WH used it as a photo opp and then released this story about him going to a church service and join them in praying for the victims. Truth is he arrived in the middle of the service, they stopped and said a prayer for him and he leaves. There all of 10-15 minutes...can’t let church interfere with his round of golf!

The pastor had nothing to apologize for...he did his job, he didn’t try and misrepresent the service.[/QUOTE]

This is as pathetic as "he had 2 scoops of icecream". You miserable little pipsqueak, do you ever have anything of substance? No, you don't.

You're eaten up with TDS, and that's fine with me. I hope your GD head explodes in the next 6 years. Have somebody post pics so we can all enjoy it.
 
classic dumbass republican. government regulation always bad until the big meany democrats need to be kept in line. Conservatives calling for government to regulate the internet is just hilarious.

In his opening keynote for Amazon’s Re:Mars conference in Las Vegas, the star said The Footprint Coalition will officially launch in April of 2020. Although he did not share details about how the tech would be used, Downey said he was in talks with “experts.” “Between robotics and nanotechnology, we could clean up the planet significantly, if not totally, in 10 years,” Downey Jr. said. “God I love experts.

Whew!!! Thank God for RD, jr and The Footprint Coalition All Star Experts!!!

Hollywood couldn't have scripted this any better. Just in the nick of time...with only 2 years to spare!!!
 
A fringe group that's gotten massive gains in every election since Trump. Sure. What you as an "enlightened centrist" can't see is that leftist policies are vastly popular among everyday people. The Democratic Party "as we knew it" was nothing but a shill for the corporations, same with the Republicans. Finally we're starting to hear some people with actual ideas instead of the same old status quo defending and you lament the days of corporate bailouts, skyrocketing debt, and endless foreign wars? Trump will go down in history as nothing more than the bigoted reaction to a black president and true progress.
Nah..Democrats are still "you gotta check off this box to show you care about x topic on the hierarchy of victimhood"

That's still their number 1
 
Illegal immigration is up almost 100% YoY. It’s gotten worse under Trump, yet he seems to have not lost any of his base despite running on a clear agenda of reducing/eliminating illegal immigration. Will this be something that hurts him in 2020 or not?

I understand that the Dems aren’t helping him at all, but illegal immigration has been a clear swing and miss from DJT. If I could vote I’d still vote for him because the Dems have a bunch of idiots running and Trump has been great for my finances. Seems something needs to give on illegals though.

I don't see any way of it hurting him. I think many like myself feel like he lolly assed around for awhile when it came to the wall, but it was clear as day when he actually went all out to try and do something about it, he has been met with constant push back from both sides of the aisle.

Also this isn't something the Dems can bring up during a debate to try and get his base or people in the middle who voted for Trump because of immigration to turn.

The current Dems running basically have all said there is no crisis down south and they are essentially all pro open border (without saying open borders). So they won't be able to acknowledge any kind of problem at all from the southern border. If they do, their base would turn and Trump would eat them up for trying to bring it up.

The open borders people really piss me off. Why even bother having elections if we aren’t going to act like a sovereign nation? It’s ridculous.

I don't think anyone stated Trump went to the church service,in fact it was reported the exact amount of time he was there, and he stopped on the way back from the golf course.

The Pastor literally stated in his tweet that he was apologizing to his constituents for having prayed for the President. How do you know what the contents of the Prayer was? I don't recall seeing any photo op pics, other than the one taken by a church member.

Yeah, they've got some "actual ideas", but they're all absurd and/or proven destructive. There's always been a dumbass, hedonistic sect of society and currently you morons are it. STFU and get a job, punk.
 
Wait just a second...….. you mean to tell me a church in Fairfax, VA (a suburb of DC) has 'some' in the congregation that are so ate up with TDS they are upset he showed up to offer support for the victims of a mass shooting? And just so happened the pastor decided to pray for Trump as well? OH THE F*CKING HUMANITY!

Just goes to show how absolutely terrible leftists in the DC area are.

I would also say it just goes to show how absolutely awful RQ/Fuzz is for even bringing this ridiculous TDS shit to this thread, but we already know about his awfulness.

The only people who would give this more than 1 second of thought are people so consumed with hatred and irrational emotions they deserve to be locked away in a GD loony bin. Yet, here fuzz is dropping numerous posts about it.

Go get some help you f*cking lunatic. Christ almighty.
Dude, there wasn’t a word said about the shooting or victims in the time was in the building. So tell me again how it was about them.[/QUOTE]

How do you know what was said?

Yup, makes literally 0 sense. So ya I agree that I think if Trump had to run against Republicans again, there would be a few that could call him out on how he handled immigration (mainly how he sat on his ass about it for a year and a half). But even then only a few republicans could do that, many republicans have a long career resume of being horrible when it comes to immigration.

But ya I can't see a single Democrat that would look good trying to call out Trump on immigration. Economy and Immigration are two big time losing subjects for the Dems. Healthcare is the talking point they really need to stick to. Our healthcare sucks, Obamacare made it a lot worse, but if we are being honest, the republicans had no clue on an actual new healthcare plan. Their entire plan was just to bitch about Obamacare.

I think the mass immigration since Trump was elected is caused by 2 reasons. One is the economy has been on fire, unemployment numbers are as low as they"ve been in 40-50 years. Two is I think people in central America think Trump will be successful in shutting down or restricting the flow of illegals long term. They see the writing on the wall that they better get while the gettin' is good.
Mass immigration is there to replace the conservative voting bloc and elect democrats to power

Yes. They have to do something because Democrats are killing babies in the womb that would have been Democrat voters. When blacks kill more than are born the Democrats have to replace that vote. So they look South of our border for the uneducated masses that can fill that void. If they are not eligible, their children will be.
 
classic dumbass republican. government regulation always bad until the big meany democrats need to be kept in line. Conservatives calling for government to regulate the internet is just hilarious.

Classic dumbass liberals eroding the Constitution/Bill of Rights.

No is calling for regulation you mindless luddite. People are calling for companies who are using a bullshit platform to cover being a publisher and ending people's 1stA.

Companies have no right censoring the 1stA right, you human excrement
 
~8 years ago McConnell said, after getting the middle finger on the stimulus and ACA, that he wanted to make Obama a one term POTUS. The media freaked out and we still have drop-ins whining about that. Yesterday the ranking Dem said she wanted Trump in jail and the same media is mute.
The media would love to see him in jail or better yet dead. Their hatred is over the top.

The media is mute? Hmmm, seems I heard what the speaker said on GMA this morning. I’ve also heard it on multiple news drops on the radio throughout the day. Perhaps it’s just Faux News where the media has gone mute.

Vox scratching their heads and debating why Conservatives are "winning the internet".

It's not that difficult: Half the country got tired of the other half commandeering the news, media, and arts. You heard/read a liberal agenda constantly in everyday life. But the internet allows a voice for anyone who is worth hearing.

Conservatism isn't dominating the internet, it's just on a level playing field for once. The left is taken back.

"What? People actually don't think a baker should be forced to make a gay wedding cake? But uh.. we were under the impression that there's only one view point?"

Companies have every right to regulate speech within their business you brain dead jizz stain. only state actors cannot regulate speech. And even they can if its porn, hate, obscenities, defamation, etc. The 1st amendment is what allows companies to regulate speech within their business. Use some common sense dumbass. Since SCOTUS ruled that corporations are people that solidified their right to controlling speech within their business even more. You don't have a right to twitter or facebook because you don't even have a right to the internet. You have to pay for access. You are free to go stand outside their HQ and say whatever the **** you want within your 1st amendment rights. If SCOTUS ever rules that twitter has become a public forum they can just add a pay wall and back to censoring. If you want an example of a company that is very restrictive of what speech it allows within its platform look at apple. Some states like Maine have passed laws to provide for more speech protections online but nothing has happened at the federal level. Companies cannot discriminate access to their product against protected classes but they can damn well tell you exactly how you are allowed to use their product, aka ToS. I can't believe a conservative is even trying to argue this, it is a fundamental pillar of the free market.
