Dr. Strangelove Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 3 hours ago, commando said: to be fair to her...she was tasked with selling a turd sandwich to america. Yes and no. America seems more than willing to devour a turd sandwich. The issue with the Republican Party is they traded their traditional business friendly donors base for a constituency that is lower income, uneducated, and has their brains collectively turned into mush by Fox News. They've created a monster that fundamentally believes that government is a deep state operation geared towards crushing their beliefs. It's hard to get donations to political causes when you've created a base that believes political causes are the root of all problems. Hence, they have highly motivated voters for elections but can't use them to raise money. 2 Link to comment

I know plenty of educated (and relatively smart) people who are upper middle class to even possibly 1 percenters that have had their brains turned to mush by Fox News. 1 1 Link to comment

You think this. I think this. HuskerBoard thinks this. But perhaps no other political figure in American history has commanded a following so loyal and worshipful. Everything he touches is apparently by God's hand. Link to comment

I generally stay away from, and detest the overuse of, Nazi comparisons...but that guy definitely would have been wearing an SS uniform 75 years ago Link to comment

The massive amount of money spent, plus the loss in labor/productivity would be disastrous. Nevermind the fact that it would take years to train personnel and build facilities. Link to comment

He, and others in Trumps orbit, really seem to get their rocks off on these ideas. Instead of hating the idea but feeling it’s necessary, they seem to look forward to it. 1 Link to comment
funhusker Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Kind of on the same topic: if Trump wins the election, can Biden universally pardon all immigrants that crossed illegally to piss on Miller’s party? 1 Link to comment

Preventing illegal immigration and spending more money there might make sense, but spending a bunch on deportation will lose us $, not gain it. 1 Link to comment

But for once I thought it appropriate when considering Miller's position on this 1 Link to comment
