Is that a bit of a medical sexism there Toshi?

Anyway, an alternative label for Rexy might also be Capitalism, or Stupidity.

On the other hand did Liberty ever exist? Not so much, I think.

I can’t fucking WAIT for Trump to claim that if he had been president, the North Carolina/Helene deaths would never have happened, and that he would have given a million dollars to every resident within the first day. And that it would be cleaned up on his ‘first day’.

Stolen from another forum. Thank-you DonQuixote99


" The latest Heather Cox Richardson column is a compendium of chaos. I will just summarize.

1. Tennessee Repub. leader says Biden "finally" approved Tennessee's state of emergency request. Tennessee was later than other states in requesting same--others did so before hurricane actually hit, Tennessee waited for flash flooding to actually occur . However, the Governor had already declared Sept. 27 a "a voluntary day of prayer and fasting."

2. Republicans are taking credit for capping the cost of insulin to users at $35/month, calling the Democratic claims of doing this a lie. Trump's Republicans did a temporary, voluntary cap, and all the Republicans voted against the Biden Inflation Reduction Act, which made the $35 cap a requirement.

3. Trump assures women "I want to be your protector." He says that if he's back in office women "will be happy, healthy, confident, and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion." Meanwhile, women are dying from pregnancy complications when doctors, due to vague or draconian abortion laws passed in some states, refuse or delay emergency care. Republican advertisements, using the images of some of the dead women, blame these cases on misinformation from pro-choice activists.

4. A Republican congressional candidate is unmarried and childless, but uses photos in his campaign of him posed with a woman and children. They are a friend's family.

5. Trump has lied to say that Kamala Harris has let 13,000 or 14,000 convicted murderers enter the US in the past three years. (First, I'll note that as Vice President, Kamala Harris signs no laws and issues no orders.) But Trump says the murderers "freely and openly roam our country." Elon Musk says "True." CNN identifies the government data that is the apparent basis of this lie: lists of persons over the past 40 years who committed crimes while in the US, and are either still incarcerated for them, or who served their terms and were released, but cannot be deported because their country or origin will not accept them. The last group is monitored.

6. A woman in Philadelphia reports receiving an official-looking letter from the "Pennsylvania Congressional Office of Immigration Affairs," an entity that does not exist. It said she was expected to provide living space to five migrants, under a program "written into Law by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris." There is of course no such program. I'll again note that Vice Presidents don't write anything into law. Even the President doesn't directly write laws.

7. Trump, who recently referred to Vice President Harris as "mentally disabled," said in Erie Pennsylvania Sunday that crime would end "if you had one really violent day... One rough hour. And I mean real rough. The word would get out and it would end immediately."

8. Trump's anti-immigrant attacks compare directly to those employed by Victor Orban, who then "took control of Hungary, undermined its democracy, and set himself up as dictator." Project 2025's originator, the Heritage Foundation, has ties to Orban's Danube Institute, and the plan envisions similar actions to solidify right-wing takeovers of all branches of government, and other social institutions, setting up an all-powerful 'unified executive." Despite rhetorical attempts to distance himself from Project 2025, Trumps echos it in promises to replace civil servants with loyalists and to get rid of the Department of Education.

9. Vance in 2021 said in an interview that all social institutions were dominated by liberals, and that "to effect real change in the country, it will require us to completely replace the existing ruling class with another ruling class." He called for their "overthrow," saying "We need to be really ruthless when it comes to the exercise of power."

10. A large federal effort involving many agencies has been launched to provide hurricane relief. Vice President Harris says "we will stand with these communities as long as it takes to make sure that they are able to recover and rebuild."

11. VP candidate JD Vance has called for cutting funding for public education. He was speaking Saturday at an event of the New Apostolic Reformation movement, which seeks outright religious rule. It's leader, Lance Wallnau, accuses Kamala Harris of practicing witchcraft. "

I'm curious how impactful the hurricane will be on the election. Obvious humanitarian issues aside, the damage must be causing a variety of issues preparing for election day.

Does Brian not know that Trump shot down the most comprehensive border reform bill? Is he stupid?
Brian does know that Biden removed all of Trumps boarder policies to open the floodgates at the boarder as soon as he took office. Anyway, the "comprehensive boarder bill" was to hire mohr boarder patrol agents for processing. It wouldn't solve the issue, it would make processing illegals faster still keeping the floodgates wide open.

That’s simply not true. Even as a foreign citizen I know better than that. I can also look up independent statistics that show during the Biden presidency enforcement of removal of illegal aliens has gone through the roof compared to anytime at least since the 1990s (as far back as I can find records). It was lowest under… which president, which president? Bueller? Bueller?
It was trump. You are a victim of whatever conservative shitrag you get your lies from. Understand, Brian, you are being actively lied to. And you’re continually falling for it.

He's talking about boarder security, I'm pretty sure he means Canadians snowboarding in from the north
No snow at the southern border silly.

It is also a well known fact that Biden got rid of all Trump's BMX Police.

Republicans are pro rollerblading

You are a victim
No. No he is not. At this point he's a willing participant, cum guzzling that Trump cock like some cheap porn star. Because if he doesn't his entire, fragile, sad, myopic little world completely collapses and then hed have to accept that the world is complex, requires effort and work, and can't have it's problems solved by a phrase that fits on a bumper sticker.

I'm pretty sure you get one news source. When I travel out of the country everything is CNN. Numbers are coming out, the left and the left media is pushing it under the rug.

This, sir, doesn't matter to the modern GOP. It simply doesn't matter to them. At all. :disgust:
Just like the modern DNC, just can't open your eyes & ears to take a glimpse at the other side because you might be wrong and mislead by your news source. I'm still waiting for Adam Schiff's I have evidence and proof of Trumps Russian collusion. Ever wonder where that went? I'm still waiting for it. If Trump wins in November, what do you think the 2024 collusion version will be? Iran maybe? Can't be that, they want him dead.

Nah, just reading your posts I feel bad you live such a miserable life. All you do is bitch and moan toss insults at people that don't follow your politic views. Sad, you guys can only get all tough behind the keyboard. Pathetic existence!

how do I put this plainly… let’s try this: brian, your inability to see beyond the tip of your own erect penis defines your worldview. you literally cannot see other human beings. your existence begins and ends with your own wants. you do not care what happens to others. now, in the past, or for future generations. you are devoid of empathy, curiosity, and a willingness to grow emotionally. that’s tragic. everything you post in here defines that. you’re dismissive, a bully, and a victim. your responses lack any reason for qualitative responses because you immediately lash out. you’re insulting to the folks here who know how to have informed responses. who does this remind me of. someone who lacks true leadership qualities. someone who shouldn’t run the hot dog stand at the turn of a municipal golf course much less the united fucking states of america. I hope you see this. I hope you click the link in my sig right after. because this is all i’ve got to say to someone like you. you are not what’s best about this country. over 50% of voters don’t identify as with either party. yet you insist on taking about “one side” vs “the other”. you could not be more wrong. and you’ll never see it

Awesome data, thank you.
Now I have to ask the question, do you know what a "border encounter" means?

Per US Customs and Border Protections it is define as 1 of 3 encounters (with border law enforcement officers, it requires a BOARder Police officer)

  1. Title 8 Apprehension
  2. Title 8 Inadmissible
  3. Title 42 Expulsion
What does that mean?

A Title 8 apprehension is the temporary detainment or physical control of a person who is not legally in the United States, as carried out by Border Patrol agents under Title 8 of the U.S. Code. Title 8 is the federal law that governs immigration and nationality in the United States.


Title 8 apprehensions can result in a number of consequences, including:
-Deportation: Those processed under Title 8 are typically deported to their home countries.
-Reentry ban: Those who are sent back under Title 8 may face a ban on reentry to the United States for at least five years

A Title 8 expulsion is the deportation of a migrant who is considered inadmissible to remain in the United States under Title 8 of the United States Code. Title 8 is a federal law that covers immigration and nationality, including asylum law, penalties for illegal border crossings, and expedited removal policies.

Title 8 expulsions have stricter consequences than Title 42 expulsions, which expired on May 11, 2023:
-Deportation: Migrants deported under Title 8 are banned from entering the U.S. for at least five years.
-Criminal charges: Migrants who reenter the U.S. unlawfully could face criminal charges and jail time.
-Penalties for repeated illegal border crossings: Repeated illegal border crossings carry escalating criminal penalties.
Title 42 Expulsions expired in 2023 as it was part of the Covid-19 State of Emergency, as we are no longer in a Covid-19 State of Emergency.

So thank you for providing statistics that actually show significantly increased Law Enforcement Activity at the Southern Border.

You may notice that the spike of "interactions" actually started to spike in 2020 while Trump was still in office, in fact tripled from 30K per month at the beginning of the year to 90K per month by the end of the year. I wonder what could have caused that? All those migrants must have predicted Biden's presidency because I can't remember a single out of the ordinary world wide event that would have caused that. Nope, 2020 was just a regular average basic ordinary year. When they write the history books it will read "same old shit".

Too bad Biden vetoed that Border Security act the Republican House passed.

Nope, wait, wrong guy:

Hey @Brian HCM#1 your graph supports @Changleen argument. A spike in encounters could mean unhinged crossings but maybe it also means that the enforcement is working harder/catching more??
