They still get sick and they still use the health care system usually in emergency room settings. We can either fix healthcare or fix immigration but Brian Jones is not making much of a point here. Indeed. I wonder how much it would cost for lettuce and many other items if we had to pay minimum wage workers to be in the field.

LGR4GM Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 If you're critical of Trump, you're illegal. Wish ppl fought for the 1st amendment half as much as they worship the 2nd.

It’s all part of the Project 2025 strategy. Our only chance is that our other Constitutional supports can hold strong.
Hank Posted March 15 Author Report Posted March 15 Government shutdown avoided as C.R. bill passed. Shumer is taking alot of heat, may be voted out as party leader.

Nah, none of that matters. It happened last time to with Republicans doing the same thing. The gov't shutdown is just another show.

I believe if the Dems can/will not unify we'll see the Republicans majority grow in both the House and Senate come 26.

That said, it is highly unlikely the Republicans will gain more seats in the Senate in 2026. 22 Republican seats and only 13 Democrat seats are up and since the Republicans control everything and are RAPIDLY running the US into a recession all while gov services will be aggressively ended (DOGE) will result in a lot of unhappy ppl. Still the Democrats are mostly a party of losers who whine and complain but don't have the guts to really do much. They are more centrists than truly progressive overall.
LGR4GM Posted March 17 Report Posted March 17 Trump is a dictator. This is dictator *****. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-says-bidens-pardons-jan-6-committee-are-void-used-autopen-rcna196670 Quote President Donald Trump claimed without evidence his predecessor’s pardons for members of the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021 attacks on the Capitol to be invalid early Monday, because President Joe Biden didn’t use a real pen. “The ‘Pardons’ that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social online platform. Quote Biden ordered the pre-emptive pardons in January this year in one of his final acts in office. Biden said he took the action to ensure that public figures who had investigated and criticized Trump while in office would not face retaliatory action under his new administration. Looks like Biden knew what was about to happen.
thewookie1 Posted March 17 Report Posted March 17 Being a conservative this hasn't been a fun time for me either. I had to vote for Trump, granted its worthless being in NY, primarily to put an end to all the BS political correctness and the war on Western Civilization being waged by the many idiots in the country who believe in moral relativism and that the European/American world view is evil. No culture is perfect, but being demonized for thing that were done in mass by the very same alternative views they support is complete idiocy. That being said, Trump has bumbled and stumbled everything with foreign affairs and it irritates me to no end. Targeting Mexico in an attempt to stop drugs and illegal immigration makes sense. Alternatively targeting Canada is plain idiotic. I don't get his strange obsession with aggressively trying to annex Greenland, Canada and the Panama Canal although I do understand the underlying reason. (As the north pole shrinks the shipping lanes will become far more viable for global travel and we own Alaska. Greenland and or Canada secures us both the in and out portion of the route while the Canal is obviously another shipping lane of both military and economic value.) His sheer botching of the Ukrainian War is a travesty; again the intended result of the war ending is a good thing but he's done everything wrong top to bottom. DOGE is a great idea on paper and I had high hopes for it; sadly it seems far more akin to a guy in Vietnam hacking through the woods with a machete versus a strategic elimination of the idiotic things the US Govt funds abroad. Why couldn't the Democrats just ran a competent moderate who desired sanity, less absurd social reconstruction and wasn't a wannabe Socialist? That's all I have to say, just needed to vent a bit. 1

As someone in the center, the only group that has been crying louder than the woke left is the Trump right. Sorry Wook, there is no attack on Western civilization. There are just people that want the same rights, as guaranteed by the constitution, as everyone else, even if they are not straight and white.
