Dogmatic defense of a party is one of the primary problems of our political climate. You are so right. Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 This is just as idiotic as saying he caused gas prices to go down last summer and Biden caused them to increase this summer. But, it shows him as still being the lying piece of s#!t he has always been. LINK Quote In total day, Fox News topped total viewers with 1.19 million, down 37% from the same month a year earlier.

knapplc Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 I'm guessing the viewership numbers would be down from 2008 to 2009, 2012 to 2013, 2016 to 2017, etc. Election years tend to draw higher ratings. Go figure. 1 Link to comment

The expansive legislation would create an eight-year path to citizenship for the nation’s estimated 10.5 million unauthorized immigrants, update the existing family-based immigration system, revise employment-based visa rules and increase the number of diversity visas. 2 minutes ago, knapplc said: I'm guessing the viewership numbers would be down from 2008 to 2009, 2012 to 2013, 2016 to 2017, etc. Election years tend to draw higher ratings. Go figure. Yes....also, what was everyone doing last May? Were they out on the town drinking and galavanting around? Or, were they stuck in their homes with nothing to do but watch TV?

It can be helpful, and she may have announced it theatrically. Not too hard of a concept to grasp. It cannot be both helpful and political theater - they are mutually exclusive concepts. Maybe you did not know that, so you may not have meant to agree that it's political theater. Regardless, it's still not helpful nor was it intended to be helpful - just trying to score cheap political points without accomplishing anything of substance. 1 Link to comment

And it's costing taxpayers. And it's antithetical to their own economies. Why is anyone defending this? "The deployment is to be paid for by a private donation, Noem's office said, and the details of the mission have yet to be finalized. " Anyone think the private donation thing maybe sets a bad standard. Is this a thing I just didn't know about? If I have enough cash and know a governor, can I pay for the national guard to beat up an a$$h@!e neighbor? 3 Link to comment

VERY bad standard and I believe it should be required to reveal who donated it. 2 Link to comment

Yep, totally the same. Just think of all the taxpayer money that tweet cost! And how many families it separated while deployed! All so the tweeter can get some cheap pub for their upcoming presidential campaign. TOTES the same thing. 2 1 Link to comment

Not too hard of a concept to grasp. 50 alone would be a drop in the bucket. 50+300+500+250 et cetera becomes meaningful when "doing the math." Does it though? The Guard is prohibited by law from engaging in law enforcement acts within the US; which means they can't arrest smugglers or detain illegal border crossers. They are there to observe, give rides, and provide labor for construction projects. Link to comment
