No argument there. Each fell back on their comfortable tropes. Besides, Greene is kinda sturdy looking- I don't think she is the shrinking violet type!

Oh, I get it. Rep Bowman has some magical powers that allow him to read minds and see words like "aggressive mannerisms" as racist.... seems to me he is just seeing what he wants to see and not what is actually there.

Looks to me like they both got what they wanted. Pure clickbait. Neither covers themselves with glory. I missed where Greene injected any racial element into her remarks though. That seems to come from outside.

No surprise that Iger is not a big fan of DeSantis. He gives big to Democratic politicians- 100k to Hillary, 75k to the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee, etc. The planned move has been delayed and delayed due to employee intransigence According to the New York Times: Mr. Iger, who came out of retirement to retake Disney’s reins, was much less enthusiastic about the project — even before the company became mired in its battle with Mr. DeSantis. As soon as he returned to Disney, Mr. Iger began telling lieutenants, for instance, that it made little sense to move Imagineering so far away from Disney’s movie studios. As he is fond of saying, “Creative teams need to be together.” https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/18/business/disney-ron-desantis-florida.html The project was also running over budget and behind schedule. Just another of the previous CEO's decisions that Iger was reversing.

How about $3,500 a night to stay in a Star Wars themed hotel at Disney World? https://insidethemagic.net/2023/04/disney-star-wars-galactic-starcruiser-completely-overhauled-ab1/

Been going on in Japan for centuries. Festivals for good harvest and all that. Check THIS bad boy out...

Like so many "gotchas" the left tries to use, this one is a little more nuanced. First, the new Disney CEO already hated the planned move. As did many of the employees who would be forced to move from California to Florida. No new jobs were to be created, just a move of employees from one state to another. So there were no "jobs lost". Second, Disney is still investing bigly in Florida- $17 billion in the future according to the company. https://wdwnt.com/2023/05/josh-damaro-details-park-performance-and-17-billion-in-florida-investments-over-next-decade/

All I can add is that if "well, it isn't as bad as Trump" is your standard of behavior, then we are all in trouble. Kinda like winning the 100 yard dash at the midget olympics.

According to the story in the OP, cities are preparing hotels for the "migrants" to stay in. In NYC they are using a number of properties, including as the story says the Roosevelt Hotel. A 4 star accommodation and a classic building. Another property used is Row NYC hotel- you can see how it is treated in this story... https://www.foxnews.com/media/nyc-hotel-worker-calls-out-city-migrants-destroy-rooms-disrespect-employees-no-accountability So perhaps the pressure might ease on the border cities, but it is merely being transferred to others. And also as the story says, it is too early to speculate whether the temporary lower numbers are a sign of any permanent trend.

Ouch. So the entire basis of the Trump scandal was untrue. That's gonna leave a mark...

If you count data for 3 days only... but the general trend is still obvious.

It was pretty under control in the previous administration...

So in other words, he needs 66 more votes. Do you think he can get 66 of the senators?

A few days of reporting does not erase the fact that, under President Biden, the number of illegal border crossings has skyrocketed. Plus more and more are simply released and expected to come back for a hearing in months or even years. In the meantime they can roam free.

She is right. This is an issue that has been left up to the states to decide for themselves.

Not quite. Half of 750 would be 375. They need about 20 more votes.

I agree it is a bad thing, that is why I said that I don't want him to be president. I wrote that in the post you quoted actually. But it does explain his appeal. Particularly when compared to a barely sentient president like Biden.

Perhaps because it is not a federal issue but one that is best left to the states to decide? Just because Trump is obsessed, the media doesnt have to slavishly follow suit. Yet they do. Good for ratings I guess.

Trump is basically the "id" for politics. He is the IDGAF guy, says whatever is on his mind with no regard for the fallout. For a lot of people, that is attractive. Especially compared with the excessively careful, prepackaged and completely fake presentation that many/most politicians are guilty of. Can't help but laugh at it sometimes. Don't want him to be President again, but he IS entertaining. CNN did themselves no favours by simply recycling old questions and issues- 2020 election, Jan 6, and so on. Trump has answered these a hundred times and has a canned response ready. If the mod of the event had been more on the ball, she would have tried some more original and interesting questions, not just the same tired old tropes that we have been hearing for years.

Congratulations. You are the exception that does not disprove the general rule. Crime stats for the New York subway system are undeniable, and terrible. More murders the past three years than the ten previous. https://nypost.com/2022/10/11/nyc-subway-murders-jump-to-highest-levels-in-25-years-data/

Perhaps people liked; a/ no new wars b/ killing terrorist leaders c/ Middle East peace agreements d/ 2% and sub 2% inflation e/ continuously declining unemployment f/ $2.00-2.50 a gallon gas g/ sub 500,000 illegal immigrant apprehensions, quadrupled last year.

Tempest, meet teapot. Teapot, this is tempest. Nice to meet you. This is being treated with oh so much seriousness and gravity by the shocked, shocked I tell you adults who are surrounding the situation. These are 12-13 year old kids, given the freedom to talk about what they wanted. So they did. No reason for them to be punished at all. Nobody used slurs, profanity, or offensive images. Just stated their opinions, probably based on what they see/hear on the news every day.

Hypocrisy, your name is CNN. Why doesnt CNN stop talking about 2020? Why did they spend 20 minutes of the townhall talking about it and only 3 minutes on the economy? This guy, just like the town hall, leads with 2020 and with no sense of irony hammers away for 5 of the seven minutes on 2020. Even after the members of the panel agree that talking about 2024 is more important, the guy just cant help himself. He is so wrapped up in his narrative and narrow world view that he has no option but to keep pounding away with little regard for anything else.

Interesting suggestion. This of course would require all states to abandon their "open carry" or "concealed carry" laws, and also 4th Amendment protections. Not to mention being expensive for gun owners to implement, and there fore would disproportionately affect black and brown communities. Just curious, has any jurisdiction on earth tried these methods yet to see if they would actually work?

Is it possible that he caused certain Thai staff at the Canadian embassy to "lose face" by exposing their incompetence? This might explain a lot... Most consulates and the like have a large local contingent working. I have renewed my passport in Japan 3 times and never saw a Canadian face! All local hires.
