  1. She was not a border czar. Because some media outlets like FOX called her a border czar did not give her any authority over the border. You do know that she had no legal authority on border security or law enforcement don't you?
  2. Unlikely. Trump went too far when he facilitated an insurrection and undermined the integrity of the USA's electoral system. He must take responsibility. However, no US president will be sent to prison and it is unlikely he will ever see a prison cell. His sentence would most likely be commuted and/or he be subject to parole or house arrest. You give the impression that you are not emotionally stable. You can hold your opinion, just be sure to take responsibility for it in November.
  3. His poor judgement is demonstrated. He wants to be POTUS and this is the type of adviser he will use. Genius.
  4. What is factually incorrect? Why is Trump the serial philanderer and consumer of good time girl services cavorting about with a woman younger than his daughter and old enough to be his grand daughter? Why is is he all over her? It looks like he is doing the beer bar worker grab. If Melania dumps him, and he takes up with this new woman, will Trump's kids call her mommy?
  5. I am correct and you cannot show anything that supports your claim.
  6. No she was not. You cannot show that she was ever given this "task'. VP Harris was never the “border czar,” or put in charge of border security or halting illegal border crossings, as former President Donald Trump, Republicans and even the occasional media outlet have claimed. Instead, she was tasked in March 2021 with tackling the “root causes” of migration from the Northern Triangle and pushing its leaders — along with Mexico’s — to enforce immigration laws. She used her position as VP to win investments that might curb migration years down the road. “She felt — and I think she was right — that what she could do the most was help basically lead the effort to draw in investment, using the confidence that a relationship with the White House would give to investors,” said Ricardo Zúniga, a former State Department official who specialized in the Northern Triangle and who traveled with Harris to the region.
  7. People say that Loomer is using botox. What do you think?
  8. the only people describing VP Harris as a borderczar are Republicans with a vested interest in creating a crisis. Because Republicans call her a border czar for their political purposes does not mean she is or was. BTW, CZAR is a Russian term. Your a re betraying your activity on behalf of the Russian state saboteurs.
  9. President Biden did not appoint a border czar. There is no position in the US administration of "border czar". VP Harris had no legal authority to enforce or to apply US border or immigration laws. The only ignorance demonstrated is in those who keep insisting that the Vice President was responsible for the enactment of laws (Congress is) or the enforcement of laws (Department of Homeland Security and CBP is).
  10. Mr. Falau was taking money subject to conditions. One of the conditions was not to make statements that would harm people or offend the people who were paying him. He was not asked to do anything illegal or immoral. In what world do you expect anyone to be obliged to pay someone who is expressing views contrary to the best interests of the business enterprise paying the person? Mr. Falau was not stopped from expressing his sentiments. He was however, not going to be paid for stating things that went against his employer. Your logic holds that you expect a burger seller to sponsor a person who says that meat is murder. Mr. Falau can say whatever he wants, but it is unreasonable to expect people who do not share his social views to be forced to pay him for expressing views that alienate the customer base, the same base that generates the funds that paid his large salary.
  11. And Louisiana, Alabama, texas, Kentucky have dog fighting. It has been going on for 100+ years. All of it is sickening. They also have redneck brawling where mostly white people of limited intellectual capacity fight. What's your point?
  12. By now most observers of the Trump election campaign have heard about Laura Loomer. There are multiple reports that describer her has "Loony Loomer" because of her claims of convoluted conspiracies that not even die hard Trump supporters like Marjorie Taylor Green agree with. Some of Loomer's comments and claims include; - VP Harris “a drug using prostitute,” - saying that the White House would smell like curry if Harris is elected. - Claiming that Harris is childless because "she’s had so many abortions that she damaged her uterus,” All of the above have been reported on and documented in multiple sources. e.g. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/09/12/trump-presidential-campaign-laura-loomer/ This has led to most every Trump campaign member condemning her statements and distancing themselves. However, when Mr. Trump was asked about it, he said he would read the statements she made and get back to journalists. Trump's response begs the question, just what hold does she have over this elderly man? Is he smitten, are they having a romantic fling or is she playing to his ego? It seems that you can find more photos of Trump showing public displays of affection with Laura Loomer than with his own wife or family. Loomer is 31 years old, while , Trump is 78, and Melania 51. You be the judge. Why is trump cavorting about with this woman, and why is he always holding her? Is it fair to Melania? Think of the pain such stories must inflict upon his supportive family. She looks like she is pregnant. Hopefully, it is not with another Trump. What do you think this relationship with Loomer is and why do you think she holds so much influence over Trump?
  13. You are using the Israel Falau case as an example of impugning free speech and again, I offer that you misunderstand the core issues. Mr. Falau had agreed to a code of conduct. Included in the code of conduct was to not make incendiary comments about people so long as he was paid by his Rugby team and was benefiting from sponsorship money. Rugby Australia's failure was to not have explicitly included every scenario in its code of conduct that Mr.Falau had signed. Nevertheless he was found to have committed a high-level breach of Rugby Australia’s code of conduct for posting religiously-inspired, anti-gay comments on social media. He was warned not to do it and that there would be consequences. Mr. Falau who was raised as a mormon, became a pentecostal, which is a fundamentalist faction, that includes such associated sects where followers speak in tongues or pray and handle snakes. He is also an ordained pentacostal minister. Mr. Falau in one of his sermons blamed the catastrophic Australian bushfires on Australians lack of morality, and that Australians needed to “repent” for their sins. Was it really necessary to blame the innocent victims of the fires? Former Wallabies player Dan Palmer summed it up succinctly, The religious freedom angle in the Folau controversy was a red herring. Israel was free and is free to say whatever he likes. He didn’t lose any fundamental rights for doing so - he lost his job, as any of us would if we break contractual obligations. Mr Falau raised $2 million+ from fundamentalist christians to bring an unjust dismissal case. An out of court settlement was reached saving Rugby Australia millions in legal fees.
  14. Desperate much? Self Reported data includes the Karen contingent who consider the presence of black kids on a suburban street as a "crime". Carry on grabbing on to whateve ryou can. You should be more concerned with what people are saying about that Loomer woman and Trump. Oooolala
  15. I believe that the position, to quote Chris Rock, was that of House N****.
  16. Only the bigots and ignorant easily manipulated by hateful lies. If the USA's ethnic minorities wanted evidence of how racist the MAGA collective are, the Springfield "Willie Horton" lie seals the deal.
  17. It is a blueprint for tax evasion and is a gimmick. Tax policy should be simplified and enforceable, not turned into playground for cheaters.
  18. McCarthyism has nothing to do with the concept of free speech. Mr. Folau's case was not freedom of speech. His was an imposition of his religious dogma, an interpretation not shared by people of similar religious faith and who have spent much more time reading the original teachings/writings in their original language and not the revisions made over the centuries. It is an easy and a common error to confuse Freedom of Speech and Hate Speech. There has never been an absolute right to say whatever one wants. In the free world, society has set limits on what is considered free speech and what is considered hate speech. More specifically, free speech will not and should not allow anyone to incite hatred or violence against people based upon their race, religion, genetic manifestation, sex, gender identity, ethnicity, disability or national origin. At times, society has erred on the interpretation of what qualifies as hate speech. This is due in part to past to history which has shown that when groups are allowed to manifest their hateful views, injury and violence occurs. We saw this in Bosnia, in Sierra Leone and in Rwanda/Burundi. A case can certainly be made that society is far too tolerant of certain groups activities than others. For example, the UK regularly sees Pakistani and Bengali mobs marching in the streets shouting for the death of jews and the imposition of sharia law. When others, usually "white", march in solidarity of their political views, they are far too quickly attacked and silenced. It is not "wokeism", but an overt and intentional bias.
  19. If a passport is not reported stolen or missing, then it does not get added to the "stolen" or cancelled passport listing.
  20. Ok she wore earrings. She's a bit spicy with her two piercings, like a minx. Girls who were like that sometimes kissed on the first date. Is that your point? Do you like women or do they scare you?
  21. What was biased? Trump used inflammatory language, language that typically ends with the lunatic fringe shooting a place up or targeting people for killing. 20 minutes into the debate, Trump claimed Democrats have advocated for abortion in the ninth month of pregnancy and that they were in favor of “executing” babies “after birth,” pushing a notorious and often-repeated false claim. He then made the false statement that Gov. Tim Walz, has said “execution after birth is OK,” All that Moderator Linsey Davis said was that “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born,” How was it biased to correct this blood libel, this outrageous falsehood? Why are you supporting the lies? Your position is that it is ok for Trump to lie.
  22. The Haitians presence in Clark county is actually legal. Please show how they are "illegal". They did not magically show up in a dying county that had lost 40% of its population over the preceding 30 years and was begging for help from the federal government to boost its population and for labour to fill menial jobs that locals wouldn't do.
  23. Read the rules of the debat (previously posted) There were 4 corrections of Trump, despite his making 30 false statements. 4 corrections that corrected inflammatory statements such as the false claim that immigrants were eating pets.
  24. Please amuse us with some examples.
  25. Some of you are both right and wrong. 😁 OTAs are now a quasi monopoly. Booking.com also owns; priceline, agoda, kayak, cheapflights.com and momondo.com Expedia Group also owns; Travelocity, Orbitz, Hotwire, ebookers and cheaptickets Last Minute Group also owns; Bravofly, jetcost, volagratis, and Rumbo eDreams also owns Liligo, Go Voyages, and Opodo Trip.com also owns Skyscanner They all use one of three distribution systems; Amadeus, Sabre, or Travelport (which combines Apollo, Galileo, and Worldspan). The end result is what you would expect. Yes, it is wise to book through the airline because you will be better taken care of if there is a problem. Unfortunately this isn't the most appropriate when you need to build an itinerary. It is no secret that transiting some cities can reduce the cost of airfare. For example, traveling from USA/Canada to BKK is almost always less costly if you transit ICN or TYO, but you can only marry some segments by using the OTAs like Expedia and others. Airlines try to sell their own code shares on these flights and they are typically priced higher than the actual carrier's flights. The OTAs will offer multiple options since they are relying on a software like Sabre which builds the itinerary.
