the destroyer of worlds Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 19 minutes ago, Sharpshooter said: So, I’m going to say something that may irk those that know me. Here we go… I think the Republicans have a winning issue with border security. No country, even the US, can allow a lawless border. People who are desperate and do desperate things, like crossing a River with their kid are taking their lives in their own hands. Should the Dems try to politically profit off that sad news? No. Should the Repubs, who are in Control of Congress, use it as a means to profit either? No. The Southern Border needs to be shut. Immigration policies also need to be adjusted in the scope of security and common sense. It’s a lot to unpack. As a person who sided with fairness and integrity I wanted to proffer my two cents. Pushback is certainly welcome. Respectful discussion is encouraged. Except the border isn't wide open. Biden even continued a number of TRUMP policies when he took over. If the border was wide open, then there wouldn't be apprehensions and deportation. They even had a supplemental funding bill for billions in funds adding to border agents and such. One QOP member gave up the game when he said he wouldn't vote for it because it would give Joe a win. Obama set records for deportations. It's only an issue because the QOP, like our CONs, only have fear and racism. It's always the immigrants. Irish and Italians got it when they came over in droves. It's history repeated. Also, it needs to be said. Closing the southern border isn't going to really solve things as a significant percentage of illegals entered the US legally. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respectfully disagree on the point that the Southern Border isn’t wide open. It’s quite clear that the US doesn’t have a clear stoppage of illegal immigrants crossing from Mexico into the US. I don’t fault the people trying. I fault the government for making it seem that the vast border is unprotected, literally and politically.

IMHO Haley has to beat Trump in New Hampshire and follow that with a win in South Carolina. If she does that she might have anti Trump supporters swing her way. Maybe a centre independent like Joe Manchin? If a centre independent ticket formed up with both Dems and GOP it could win. It would not be popular with some Dems but if Biden dropped Harris as VP he could swing things in his favor based on his choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo you are bang on, Biden does need to drop Harris somehow, otherwise I think Trump wins (assuming he delays the courts, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evangelicals are as fake as religion gets imo. They all know it's an extreme warped version of Christianity, and that's saying something.

Yeah, I don’t think dropping off migrants in the streets of frozen tundra constitutes as a good deed. Not to mention that these buses have been literally dropping people off anywhere. No coordination, the other day right by my parents house. Entire buss just got let out, these people didn’t even know where they were. Not to mention leaving them in dangerous parts of Chicago. They have been doing the same things to N.Y.C Cheap populist tactics of sticking it to the sanctuary cities. Unfortunately that kind of stuff still works and gets you votes in this country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a day, or maybe a week. Possibly a month. And then. Like the Brits, who wanted to send a message, so they voted to leave Europe only to find out that if you vote to leave Europe you, actually have to leave Europe. “And now they regret it. All the Ohioans, Pennsylvanians, Michiganders and Wisconsinites of Middle England, right, they all voted to leave and now they regret it. “And over four million of them signed a petition to have a do-over, they want another election, but It's not going to happen. Because you used the ballot as an anger management tool. And now you're f****d. And the rest of Europe. They're like, Bye Felicia. “So when the rightfully angry people of Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin find out after a few months in office that President Trump wasn’t going to do a damn thing for them, it will be too late to do anything about it. “But I get it, you wanted to send a message, and righteous anger, justifiable anger. Well, that’s you set. Goodnight America. You’ve just elected the last president of the United States." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the destroyer of worlds Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 A little taste of the crazy that is the Michigan QOP. https://www.bridgemi.com/michigan-government/bank-michigan-gop-defaulted-500k-loan-hasnt-made-payment-months?amp Bank: Michigan GOP defaulted on $500K loan, hasn’t made payment in months Michigan GOP has failed to make loan payments for more than 120 days and ignored a demand letter, according to Comerica Bank The state party is attempting to sell its former headquarters and filed suit against the bank and current owners Financial woes have spurred efforts to remove Chair Kristian Karamo, who has refused to recognize results of ‘illegal’ vote LANSING — The Michigan Republican Party is in default on a $500,000 loan and ignored a recent demand for immediate payment, according to a new court filing from Comerica Bank. “The MRP has not responded to the Demand Letter and, as of the date of this Motion, has been in default for over 120 days,” bank attorneys wrote in an Ingham County Circuit Court response as the state party seeks control of its former headquarters for potential sale. The bank’s renewed notice of default, dated Dec. 12, detailed more than $10,000 in accrued interest and $707 in late fines for missed payments on the $509,009 loan principal. It’s the latest evidence of financial struggles for the Michigan GOP, which is mired in a leadership dispute fueled in part by the fundraising woes of Kristina Karamo, who was elected as party chair in February 2023. As the Feb. 27 state presidential primary nears, Karamo insists she’s still in charge of the party and deemed a recent vote by a faction of party leaders to remove her as “illegal.” She has said she inherited a financial mess and wants to sell the party’s former headquarters in Lansing to relieve debt she says was inherited from the administration of her predecessor, Ann Arbor real estate magnate Ron Weiser. The Michigan GOP last month sued Comerica and The Michigan Republican Party Trust, which includes former party chairs who have managed the building that is formally owned by a separate entity, Seymour Street LLC. Comerica disclosed the Michigan GOP’s latest default notice in a response filing, asking a judge to dismiss the bank from what it’s attorneys called a “longwinded and perplexing complaint” that should be limited to the state party and building owners. Attorneys for the MRP Trust, meanwhile, have also requested dismissal of the case, along with sanctions against Karamo and the Michigan Republican Party’s state committee. The Karamo administration did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the Comerica disclosures. But her state party general counsel, Dan Hartman, defended the litigation in a lengthy Zoom meeting for Michigan GOP delegates. The lawsuit seeks to “clarify” who owns the building and whether the debt is “legitimate,” Hartman said, calling it a “good faith” dispute courts should resolve. “It’s not a frivolous claim,” Hartman told fellow Republicans. “This is my responsibility and fiduciary duty as general counsel to seek clarity, because the records that I have received are inconsistent.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
