It’s a bit..…expansive. But hey, at least he’s a guy and she’s a gal.

We’ve certainly seen stranger things….especially in this “modern age”.
It seems they work pretty hard when a re-election rolls around.

Outside of that, they usually hit the Sunday morning talk shows, hold hearings that make for great sound bites and occasionally fire off a sternly worded letter.

I’m hard pressed to think of anything substantive or notable outside of that in recent years.
Cubbies, I understand those on the Left like to try and control the language, but I’m not taking part in that game.

I don’t insist that you call them illegals and if it offends your personal sensibilities to do so, you can refer to the individuals however you prefer.

Myself, and I’m reasonably sure others will continue to refer to people who come into our country illegally as illegals.

It’s an accurate term to describe someone who is breaking our immigration laws - much as I would refer to someone stealing as a “thief” or someone who takes another’s life as a “murderer” or someone who defaces public property as a “vandal”.

the use of dehumanizing language intentional or is it some subconscious coping mechanism?


I don’t believe many here would genuinely wish these people treated like the Jews in 1930s-40s Nazi Germany.

But it is a reference of accuracy because these people are here ILLEGALLY and some of them intentionally game the system (that we all get taxed to prop up).

Many of us simply want them to go back home. If they wish to become citizens of this country then go through the proper legal processes (like so many before have done).

I personally hold no genuine ill will and I realize these people are primarily pawns of the games that the politicians (that you would seem to support) have chosen to play upon this country.

My true ire is for those politicians and that political party.
Have to agree with some others here. This one seems a little too over the top by all the performers.

Don’t necessarily need art to imitate life sometimes when there’s plenty of real batshite crazy Progs lurking out there every day.

After reading through the thread - Ned you pretty much got Doc Holliday-ed by the board on this one.

Ned - “I was just foolin’ around.”

The board - “I wasn’t.”

Ned, You're no daisy! You're no daisy at all. Poor soul, you were just too high strung.
It’s always enjoyable to see the Progressive monster turn its attention on one of it’s own proponents.

Or Power, it could be that, much to the chagrin of Progressives and business as usual Establishment fans, most regular everyday people actually like that DJT is trying to get things done (and the direction he is taking the country in trying to do those things).
That is Canada’s choice and it would appear they’ve made it. For now.

I personally do not think a future tightly aligned with Western Europe and CCP as Western European nations aggressively move towards abolishing their historical national identities in favor of open borders and an authoritarian governmental CCP style model that also aggressively seeks to punish and eliminate wrongthink and wrongspeak is a winning strategy for the long term future.

The U.S. may have “betrayed” being a leading voice towards implementing that model everywhere but if so, I’m glad we betrayed it.

Better get used to it. This reality is 100% on Trump. Blasting Canada with tariffs and 51st state threats turned a 20 point conservative lead into this cuck winning.


I’m not sure how Canadians choosing to live under continued hyper-aggressive Progressive rule ultimately punishes DJT or America for that matter.

They are the ones (whatever their reasons) who will have to live under it.

Congratulations to Canadian citizens on their Pyrrhic victory I guess.

Carney and Liberals win in Canada


I don’t get it…but if Canadians want more of that open border, authoritarian, CCP admiring “liberal world order” nonsense that’s for them to live with and under.
Well, one thing we know Pritzker can’t resist is the buffet line.
quote:

The U.S., on balance, has a stronger economy than China, but with an unnecessary trade war, we’re taking an unnecessary risk. It’s nuts…


I understand what you say, but I guess my bigger picture viewpoint is, even if the situation presented itself someday where it was deemed a “necessary risk” (such as Taiwan), why have we allowed ourselves to reach a point where there’s any level of financial “risk” to consider when it comes to dealing with a gigantic communist country?

I can’t imagine us ever having put ourselves in such a situation with the old Soviet Union, at any time.

But because the CCP has smartly put a seemingly friendly “capitalist/business” mask on its face, we’ve been lulled into approaching them differently.

I really liked Gov D. Been an outstanding governor and FL is about as GOP red as you will find nowdays, in no small part to his efforts there.

In spite of his ill-advised run against DJT in the primary, I thought he had generally defended DJT and the Trump admins efforts consistently once DJT became the nominee and went on ahead to re-take the WH.

A relatively young guy and still potentially a good future and ability to make an impact in the decades ahead.

Disappointing, if any validity to the allegations.
Not liking the optics on this one and doesn’t do much to separate the “pay to play” aspect from the regular DC scoundrels we rail against.

(See Progs - you can still fully support a president and not 100% rubber stamp and be blindly obedient to every single thing that comes about during that person’s administration.)

Joe Biden insists that if he defects he will defect to Canada.


First thing old Joe has said this century that I could enthusiastically support.
These Armageddon type news items/threads only ever seem to reinforce the underlying notion that CCP has this country firmly by the gonads.

There’d never be any situation where we could truly risk pizzing off the Chinese communist party.

How in the world did this country manage to get itself in this precarious position in the first place?

Doesn’t seem to be a very favorable spot to be in.

Nothing that could be construed as “good”, that’s for damn certain.

The New (marxist) Democrats’ Achilles heel would seem to be in failure for self introspection.

They think WE (the general American voters who rejected them) are the problem.
