You’re one to talk! This is literally on a thread about guy detained while BIDEN was President! There is a legit reason to both sides this issue. We have to press the Democratic party to stop moving to the right of the Republicans, and you can’t do that if you don’t talk about it. There is a clear connection to the Democrats laying the groundwork that have directly helped lead us to the situation we’re now in with Trump.
Failing to hold Democrats accountable for their own behavior by focusing only on Trump will only allow the Democrats to follow this downward spiral. The Democratic party doesn’t see the evil in their own past behavior and that’s a key part of why they cannot effectively counter Trump with any of this.
I don’t know why you act like I am defending Trump, I am only trying to point out that Democrats were still mass deporting people. Trump is historically evil and will probably blow the Obama/Biden numbers out once ICE gets the new budget. But, this has been standard US policy since 9/11 basically.
For example - https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/trump-2-immigration-first-100-days or https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/biden-deportation-record
While the government has not released official data in comprehensive fashion, based on Federal Register notices and selective information shared with news organizations it appears on track to deport roughly half a million people this year—fewer than the 685,000 deportations recorded in fiscal year (FY) 2024 under President Joe Biden.
My point is that Trump could easily accomplish the same thing if mass deportations was his chief goal, because the Democrats were already doing that. Biden deported 685k in one year according to the Federal Register, if you want to discount the source and provide other numbers that is fine. I’m not trying to argue tactics, because frankly what the Dems and GOP have been doing (at least since 9/11) related to deportations and immigration has been illegal to unconstitutional in a variety of ways. Claiming asylum under international law is a defined legal process and even Obama and Biden were not following that process.
Look even at the article this thread is in, this Irish tourist was jailed when Biden was President for overstaying his VISA for 3 days, even though he wanted to leave. That is pretty horrible behavior. Again, not saying Trump is better by any means, easily he is far worse.
I didn’t say that. I was only pointing out how bad the Democrats have been, while not needing to go to the current ICE tactics. Holman was brought to us by Obama even. We’ve gone past the point where the deportations are the point; it’s the fear and repression of the entire population. And we’ve not even seen the half of it once ICE gets its new budget, it will get much worse!
Nobody can hold a candle to ‘deporter-in-chief’ Obama. Secretly, the Democrats have been much harder and more effective on deportations and the border for decades.
Is it really haggling or more just sorting through prices offered by different sites and airlines? You can’t really negotiate a lower price, but you can choose layovers, different flights, times to save money.
Is it really that hard to pull up a couple of websites to search for flights? What is this negotiating he’s talking about anyway? Since when has haggling been part of buying plane tickets?
This magic A.I. also has a list of 20 kids to invite to a birthday party, you still had to spend the time teaching the bot who you wanted to email.
There is a great impression of him talking about Burger King that I have to share. He’s doing this same kind of stupidity in this video. https://youtu.be/-BDgQMGs7Mc
That’s the same talking point we’ve heard for decades but even US intelligence reports have said the opposite, even earlier this year. I’m sure they could create dirty bombs but that only requires nuclear power plant waste.
Posturing is what Iran does. They’ve done that at least since the early 90s. But US intelligence services have repeatedly come to the conclusion that Iran is not ramping up production, at least based on the briefs even from a few months ago earlier this year.
Who is exchanging nukes in that? Israel and who else?
When I was in high school in the 90s a group of us in computer class made a ‘virus’ that would launch the hamster dance website in all of the classroom computers randomly. We had to put it on a diskette and install it manually on each computer but at the time none of the computers even had antivirus so the school had to reformat them to remove it.
I remember watching that movie when it came out, that line is burned into my brain forever.
My grandparents had one like that! Eventually the built-in TV broke so they put a newer one on top but just left the whole thing there for years.
