Well now that Trump has fixed the border, he can go to work arresting the chickens for raising the price of eggs.

And you can go back to criticising 4yos.

US had 3 major problems - border, inflation and debt. Trump fixed 1 problem in 3 weeks. Biden fixed no problems in 4 years and 2 wars started.

 

If Trump lowers debt and inflation what will their whinge about? Dogs barking?

You confused me. So your username is sarcasm? 

 

Inflation and debt go hand in hand? So the DOGE project, once they recuperate the funds, will drive down inflation. I think that's what Musk stated. 

 

Wars ... yes. Trump is not keen on starting wars it seems. I was a Lennon and Yoko fan, so I'm on board with that.

The question is why would americans want permanent resident status in thailand? The country has no moral compass. They deal with russia china and iran. Thailand will forgive any bad behavior by foreigners for the right price

Sounds just like the USA under musk/trump so americans will feel right at home

Tariffs have alienated all America's allies. Most are weighing up retaliatory measures.

 

Internally, farmers can't get their crops picked. Undocumented workers are staying put, for fear of being deported if they turn up to work.

 

Musk is getting free data from every government function.

 

Yeah,the stable genius is excelling in stupid. So do his supporters.

 

 

Howl lefty, howl!!!!

Opposing Putin is the right thing to do. Period. 

 

On that we agree.  

 

BUT not to the extent of starting a nuclear war.  I've no doubt that in a conventional war between NATO (with USA) and Russia the Russian military would be shredded in a few short weeks,  Problem is THEN does Putin resort to nukes?  Yeah I think most of their nukes would misfire and fail.  But it only takes a few to make a very bad day.  

 

I don't think he is that insane (or his generals would let him) but the fact he might is an issue that prevents outright ending his regime for the sake of Russians and the rest of the world.  So how to handle Putin is a tricky question.  The world can hope his successor is saner and Putin has a cardiac arrest sooner.

Unauthorized apprehensions at the U.S. southern border have decreased significantly in the past six months — by more than 70% compared with the same period in 2023, according to Customs and Border Protection.

 

The U.S. government attributes the dip to an executive order issued last summer by President Biden that severely restricts asylum requests from migrants attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border with no authorization. Another factor is the implementation of the CBP One app, and experts say the Mexican national guard cracking down on migrants heading north is playing a key role, as well.

That the Biden administration was able to reduce the flood of illegal aliens coming across the border in the run up to the election only shows that the flood was intentional, and likely would have resumed on November 6th has Harris won the election.

 

The left is still fighting tooth and nail to keep them coming in, and to stop them from beinf deported.

That's OK -- you can read page 4 this topic that Trump has fixed the border problem quickly so time to move on to something else.

That’s okay, that the Biden administration was able to reduce the flood of illegal aliens coming across the border in the run up to the election only shows that the flood was intentional, and likely would have resumed on November 6th has Harris won the election.

 

I think it fair to say the administration is not waiting around for the left’s approval.
