Or you can try writing more clearly.

If I understand your comment correctly, you endorse the notion that children or grandhildren or great grandchildren of collaborators should be discriminated against? As I recall, a common belief among bigots is that Jews should be held responsible for the death of Jesus even though the alleged crime took place long ago. You really want to endorse the concept of inherited guilt?

But if they are willing to work for less, why wouldn't there be jobs for them? Another big problem is that it removes the incentive to train Americans to do the work. Why invest in training here when you can get more cheaply trained workers from abroad?

Oddly enough I was thinking that if Trump offered each inhabitant 1 million dollars, that might do the trick. And it would only cost 56 billion dollars.

Given that Kim Jong Un is the leader of North Korea, and what's even worse, that he's Donald Trump's man-crush, who could blame South Korea for going nuclear?

I guess the issue is do they want to pursue their immediate self-interest to deter North Korea at the possible expense of greater world disorder

Since Mexico hasn't been stopping migrant caravans from the south, you're making a great point here...oh wait a minute...

And of course, if the Russian Foreign Ministry says that's what it believes, that's what it believes. Now, if the head of the Russian government had been a KGB agent, we might have reason to mistrust what the foreign ministry says it believes. But since...oh wait a minute...

Because the H-1B program is not for highly skilled foreigners. "Most H-1B visa holders are lower-paid labor, not top talent. In May, Musk laid off more than 14,000 Tesla workers, including many H-1B visa holders. Reddit threads filled with laments by workers who had moved to the United States from India only to be let go with no warning. " https://archive.ph/MEgAc#selection-4739.0-4751.82

"In May, Musk laid off more than 14,000 Tesla workers, including many H-1B visa holders. Reddit threads filled with laments by workers who had moved to the United States from India only to be let go with no warning. They were desperate to remain in the country, but because H-1B visas are owned by the employer, they had few options for doing so. That’s why these workers stay compliant and cheap: They can’t leave the companies that control the visas. If they were really top talent, they should be getting green cards, not enduring six years of underpaid servitude. https://archive.ph/MEgAc

I shouldn't have trusted your claim about the quote.. It didn't come from Trump. It came from Elon Musk. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/elon-musk-says-h1b-visa-program-broken-needs-major-reform/articleshow/116784552.cms

Personal comments like yours are for people who have apparently run out of sensible arguments. So instead they resort to mindreading. You've got nothing.

As for Liz Cheney, in this case, the Trump partisans have a point. At least in identifying her as unworthy of any honor. She was part of the clique who promoted falsehoods in the runup to the Iraq War. At the time she was Under Secretary of State for the Mideast. She deserves to be reviled. Although not for most of the alleged misdeeds laid at her door by right wingers. EDIT: She is still defending the decision to wage war against Iraq. She stinks!

That would include the ones who beat on the police guarding the Capitol!

I failed to note the fact that you used a stupid cheap personal comment. And, at this point, a very clichéd one.

I predict it will cometh in fourth.

Remember how the Barr/Durham investigation of the Justice dept turned out. When most right wingers were predicting the downfall of the Deep State? Despite Barr's and Durham's extraordinary efforts to find corrupt motives in the investigation of Donald Trump at the justice dept., they failed miserably.

Coming in first, second, and third respectively will be cronyism, incompetence, and cluelessness.

Another right wing gerontologist member of aseannow.com. So many of them. We are truly blessed.

Probaly not in any of the sources you draw on in your alternative universe.

That was a ridiculously massive and expensive feint. But I guess if you believe that Putin or his general staff are highly competent, that is the kind of thing you would believe.

From the article: "He also wrongly asserted Friday that the flags would be flown at half-staff “for the first time ever during an Inauguration of a future President.” In 1972, President Richard Nixon took the oath of office while flags were flown at half-staff in memoriam of President Harry Truman."

How about this jihadist? Virginia man arrested after FBI uncovers massive cache of explosives A Virginia man was arrested after the FBI discovered a large cache of explosives, weapons, and ammunition at his home. Court documents allege Brad Spafford used images of President Joe Biden for target practice and made threats against Democratic lawmakers. Investigators claim Spafford possessed an unregistered short-barrel rifle and had a "go box" prepared with weapons and supplies for emergencies. https://www.fox5dc.com/news/virginia-man-arrested-after-fbi-uncovers-massive-cache-explosives I wanted to post this story by using foxnews.com as a source. Oddly enough, despite the fact that it was the biggest cache of explosives ever ever confiscated by the FBI, the kind of story that's right up Fox's alley, it couldn't be found. I even went to the Foxnews.com website to search for it. Nothing.

Back when he campaigned he denounced the program. Towards the end of his first term, his administration's proposed reforms that would pretty much have killed it. Recently, he claimed that he's always liked this program. He always liked it despite the fact that it's broken? Now he's saying again it needs major reform. What's the most likely explanation for this latest zig-zag? The blowback from prominent MAGA-ists finally managed to penetrate the idyll that is his bromance with Musk.

I live in hope that some day you will get your facts straight. This isn't one of those days. The wife of the Moscow mayor left Russia in 2010 because she was being investigated for criminal activity. Since then, she has been based in London. Elena Baturina Russia's second wealthiest woman, Elena Baturina, was married to Yury Luzkhkov, who was the mayor of Moscow for years. In 2010, Luzhkov was removed from the mayor's post; Baturina and their daughters left the country. Baturina soon sold almost all of her assets in Russia including a construction company called Inteko and a cement factories. https://www.forbes.com/profile/elena-baturina/ Police Raid Company Of Ex-Moscow Mayor's Wife Russian police have raided the Moscow offices of Inteko, a real estate firm owned by Yelena Baturina, the wife of Moscow's former mayor, Yury Luzhkov. Irina Dudukina, a spokeswoman for the Investigative Committee, said the search was linked to an investigation into suspicions of embezzlement of 13 billion rubles ($443.7 million) from the Bank of Moscow. Interfax quoted Baturina as saying, "I know for certain that these searches have no relation to either our company or the Bank of Moscow," and that "this is simply an ordered [raid] and a form of [political] pressure." https://www.rferl.org/a/ex-moscow_mayors_wife_firm_raided/2312367.html Putin, is, in fact, her enemy.
