It seems the GOP’s position is to let those immigrant dependent companies and industries fail and stop artificially propping them up with government assistance via immigration exceptions.

Ending socialism has costs and the GOP is telling us that Americans are ready to incur those costs. If that means no more meat, then so be it.

I say we go for it and let the GOP have their way.
Ted Cruz says Kamala can pry his cheeseburger from his cold dead hands. My congressman likes to talk tough on this stuff until the the Kansas Livestock Association is like "you really don't want to shut down the southwest Kansas meat factories and bring our entire industry to its knees." They got a taste of this at the start of the pandemic and it really scared the industry.
That can’t be true! Not with all this GOP emphasis on immigration.

Just a few short years from "you can't just jump over a river" and illegal immigration was the product of an evil rich Republican plot . . . impassioned speeches about the perils of illegal immigration from Chuck "Reap the Whirlwind" Schumer and Nancy "OxyGin" Pelosi.

Go back a little further and an icon of the #blueanon movement stood at the podium in Congress during a SOTU and read an elongated section of a speech about how illegal immigration threatens our economy, our sovereignty and our communities

I wonder what changed . . .

Sometimes I wonder if perhaps the Democratic Party is partially responsible for the popularity of donald trump. Is it something that they’re saying or doing that could maybe rub some people the wrong way?

Perhaps they could be a bit more tactful in their approach?

Didn't Kamala Harris have to drop out of the primary in 2020 before the voting even took place? I distinctly remember no one liking her. I guess maybe she's changed?

That's not why she dropped out. There was absolutely momentum for her in Iowa, even though I hated it. I posted about it at the time.

#blueanon usual media now nuancing a call to give to MN freedom fund, as not actually KH giving to the MN freedom fund.

IMO it was just overcompensating for her days as a cop, putting low wealth parents in jail because their kids skipped school.

Pretty freakin cheap if she was out there telling people to contribute and but not giving any money herself.  Damn . . . SMDH

#blueanon media usual's dig in hard and circle those wagons fast.

You guys should be proud.

Living in Minnesota currently and seeing WCCO trending, I curiously clicked wondering why. Of course it was literally every single GOP account, burner, and bot losing their whole crap about one tweet and elmo using community notes to completely misrepresent what the WCCO tweet actually took exception to. They are really scuffling to try to find something that will stick. Literally not a single person they want and need to care about this gives three fucks.

Not sure why but Biden's section has had all of their supporter signs removed and it's completely empty. The picture is of his section.

BotEdgeEdge has the most supporters, by far and the loudest.

The Police is the surprise of the night, her section is huge. Lil Klo has a lot as does Warren. Booker has more people here than Biden and Sanders combined. Yang Gang has a few hundred, everyone else is meh.



Actual impressive showing by the police. She paying people to be here? I think if all these people were polled she'd double her numbers.


Kamala-She came out and her thousands of supporters had a huge "Justice for the People" sign, ironic. She said "I was a prosecutor and I've only had one client, the people."  :ROFL: She's a very high energy speaker, she hit a lot of policy positions because she is so fast and energetic. Lots of Trump talk too. Her supporters did a much better job than Pete's people of giving her space. She was the first candidate that endorsed and said the phrase "medicaid for all." Then she parsed it by saying that people could keep their plan, it's Pete's medicaid for most. She finished by shouting out Beto's buyback plan, said it was courageous, did not back it though.

Grunch: endorsement of Pres. Obama is “yuge.”
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I never once called Obama’s silence a conspiracy and even alluded to the fact that he may be waiting so as to avoid the “coronation” appearance.

You guys are so absolutely mumped up, especially that whackadoo StalkerBot.7

What you are missing as expected is the fact that CBS and others are calling out Trump for bringing that up and calling it a lie, when it was and is out there for everyone to see.

Ok I was wrong. See, I told you guys I don’t care about, or know anything about politics. Vindicated.

The part that they are calling a lie isn't that she donated to the fund. WCCO are taking exception to his classification of the fund bailing out dangerous criminals. It's why they put that specific phrase in quotes. I would say it's classic trump but in this case it's an exaggeration instead of an outright lie.

The wording on that WCCO tweet allowed maga to do what they do best and that's play the victim, no maatter what, no matter how, ALWAYS PLAY THE VICTIM.
