But if the Democrats select Harris again, possibly even with her competing in a primary, than Vance is inevitable.

Shamsud-Din Jabbar is indeed a "pure Texan" and that is exactly the BS I was referring to.

According to the NYP:

 

Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, maneuvered a rented Ford F-150 Lightning EV pickup around a police blockage at Bourbon Street around 3:15 a.m. Wednesday, then sped into crowds of partiers on the iconic stretch — leaving a trail of blood and bodies in his wake.

 

Joe Biden sprang into action and took a nap.

 

Democratic senators began drawing up emergency legislation banning or severely restricting access to assault EV's.

 

Republican senators countered with claims that "if EV's are criminalized, only criminals will drive EV's."

 

Musk tweeted x'd cryptically "From my cold, dead AI".

 

Trump announced plans to tariff China, for reasons.

Expand  

I understand that he wants to expel illegal migrants, starting with those who committed criminal offenses. However, he mentioned 20 million illegal migrants, a number not backed by data. He did say they can apply for entry after they are outside the borders.

Trump's Agenda: Deportation - FactCheck.org

He wants to use the military.

But he cannot use the military against civilians on the streets, so it will be hard to achieve.

Are you rabid folk unable to distinguish between illegal immigrants vs ones that the country wants, mostly skill based?

Or are you that stooped in your anti-Trump zeal that you blithely ignore?

There's a big difference between the migration policies of Australia and Germany, and not difficult to see which path Trump will take.

And so he's learnt some home truths from Musk, so? Is that such a crime? Pity Biden didn't learn on his watch.

Huh?  Why should they give anything to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)?

[Lacessit]

You deport the illegal immigrants who are criminals, or a drain on the economy.

 

You let the illegal immigrants who are picking America's crops slide, because they are keeping food prices down in US supermarkets. Legal immigrants will not.

 

Is this making too much sense for some?

One gem from the article:
Trump also claimed that the nation's crime rate "is at a level that nobody has ever seen." In fact, violent crime is sharply down across the country, according to the FBI.

Expand  

Migrants/immigrants used to be how legal immigrants were referred to, while illegal immigrants were called illegal aliens. The left changed the terminology to make illegals sound more acceptable. That's probably why you're confused. 

 

It like the way the left changed abortion to "reproductive health care" and support of it "pro-choice", and changed genital mutilation to "gender affirming care".

Actually, I don't even need to introduce a new quotation from Trump to negate your point. Here is the quote again:

"The H-1B program is neither high-skilled nor immigration: these are temporary foreign workers, imported from abroad, for the explicit purpose of substituting for American workers at lower pay. I remain totally committed to eliminating rampant, widespread H-1B abuse and ending outrageous practices such as those that occurred at Disney in Florida when Americans were forced to train their foreign replacements. I will end forever the use of the H-1B as a cheap labor program, and institute an absolute requirement to hire American workers first for every visa and immigration program."

https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/statement-donald-j-trump-position-visas

 Ya think Trump believed that Disney was using agricultural visas to force its American gardeners to train foreign replacements? Not even Trump could be that benighted.
