You know, something that a LOT of people who suffer from "The Syndrome" fail to realize is that Trump is a very nice guy, one on one. Funny, entertaining, listens well, asks questions. Quite charming in fact!

Technically 3.5% directly on the military, and another 1.5% on military adjacent infrastructure and so on. But still a good step. Trump wins again. Promises kept.

True, but it makes the acronym messy. "MENISWGA" is a bit unwieldy. How about Forward, United Christian Kingdom?

No crimes. Except ID theft And falsifying documents And driving without licenses or insurance And harboring known illegal aliens (against the US Code 8/1324. Which also covers smuggling, conspiracy, transporting known illegals, etc. Yeah, except THOSE crimes.

You folks need someone to do MEGA- Make England Great Again.

Yes, but remember that they are just simple, hardworking folk who never committed a crime... except for those ones...and maybe a few more related to driving...and supporting organized crime by using cartels to bust the US border... but other than that, they are completely blameless!

Keep on wishing. Typical leftie behavior, desperately trying to be a victim or close to a victim.

Well, the NorKs already HAVE their bombs built, so it is sadly moot point. Maybe bombing them ten or fifteen years ago would have been better. Also, to my knowledge they are not sponsoring or supporting terrorist groups like Hamas or Hezbollah.

I believe that entering illegallly is a crime under the US Code. As is knowingly harboring an illegal alien. As is using false or stolen identity papers to obtain work, drive, etc.

Yeah? Talk to Vanderbilt University about that. They were performing "gender affirming" surgeries on kids under 18 until 2022.

Probably not a bad idea too... But banning chemical castration and permanent mutilation is not a bad thing. Therapy and counselling will do wonders for kids who are confused, frightened, and feel hopeless.

As long as the "West" doesn't try to do it themselves, I am OK with it. Let the people in Iran figure it out for themselves. The Guard has been largely decapitated. If they choose to continue under the Islamic State, that is their business. As long as they stop sponsoring terrorists and trying to make an A-bomb.

Perhaps, it depends on who is in power when this whole kerfuffle is finished. At the least, they might invest in the country if it agrees to basic principles like the rule of law.

In the end, it will come down to this: 1. Iran, you can't have nukes. We will make sure. 2. In return, sanctions will be lifted and billions of tasty Dollars and Euros will flow into your country. 3. The diaspora of Iranian refugees will return and lend their expertise to rebuilding the country. And just like that, Iran can rejoin the community of nations, prosper, and enjoy freedom. Remove the shackles of the mad mullahs and the Iranian people will see to the rest.

I agree, although I dont think the Iranians are actually succeeding in killing American democracy. Trying, yes. But that is all. The Mad Mullahs will be defanged completely, then their own people will give them the Ceaucescu Treatment.

Just saw a news report that at least 3, and possibly 4, Iranian government aircraft have recently touched down in Oman. This includes the Iranian President's official plane, their equivalent of Air Force One. What could be going on? https://www.twz.com/news-features/gaggle-of-iranian-government-aircraft-make-mysterious-dash-to-oman

That's not necessarily a bad thing. They are perhaps learning to "take the L" with a modicum of grace and dignity. Plus, there are plenty of other topics to rant on about their obsession with the Bad Orange Man!

I agree to an extent. Getting rid of the violent thugs is important. But so is getting rid of all illegal aliens. Americans voted for the latter. They still support the latter. Immigration laws do not have a "violent crime!" exception. Getting rid of 70 or 80 people who were using stolen or forged IDs, as well as the ring of criminals who provided them, is a great step.

It's delicate. A regime toppled from the outside rarely works out well. But, IF the coditions for the people to do it themselves are created, then positive results may occur. That is why the old Assahola himself hasn't been taken out yet. Killing the leader, even an unpopular one, can have unintended consequences.

I respect Dave Smith. He is a smart guy and speaks well. I can agree or disagree with his stances on particular issues, but he is wrong on this one. Which is fine, the Republican Party is a big tent, and does not demand doctrinaire lockstep agreement with every policy. There is room for dissent and disagreement.

Stealing personal information and/or using a false ID to obtain employment or government benefits is a FELONY. Driving without a license or insurance are both crimes as well. So nice try to downplay the seriousness of the situation.

Yes. And hopefully the people arrested in the raid will be punished for their crimes. Fair enough?

...and if illegals were removed, wages would rise and people could get by on one job. How wonderful does that sound?

But in reality, a majority of Americans want ALL illigal immigrants deported. Of course the violent ones get priority, but that does not mean that the others get ignored. This place seems to be a hotbed of activity- more than half the workers were illegal. This is far above the national average. Or should ICE just ignore this?

Looks like a lot of identity theft was going on. It is one of the ways that people avoid E-Verify- they use fake and/or stolen personal information like Social Security numbers. And that is.... a crime. And a violation of federal law. If they are driving they are driving illegallly, possibly uninsured, and definitely a hazard to others. If they are knowingly harboring an illegal alien, that is a crime too.
