In recent weeks, Trump has been lobbying Republicans both in private conversations and in public statements on social media to oppose the border compromise being delicately hashed out in the Senate, according to GOP sources familiar with the conversations – in part because he wants to campaign on the issue this November and doesn’t want President Joe Biden to score a victory in an area where he is politically vulnerable. Same on both sides, am I right? Any republican that claims government doesn't work needs to look in a mirror. Every republican that blocks this in order to prevent Biden from "scoring points" should be booted out of office. This is the definition of unpatriotic, unamerican. MAGA my ass, they just want control. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4petesake Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 On 1/24/2024 at 6:41 PM, NewbieCanuckFan said: Nikke Haley raises $2.6 million after Trump threatens to to blacklist anyone who donated to her campaign The Nikki Haley for President campaign announced a $2.6 million fundraising haul since New Hampshire polls closed on Tuesday, January 23. That includes $1.2 million raised from small-dollar and digital donations after Trump’s unhinged pledge to “permanently bar” any individual who contributed to Haley’s campaign. “Donald Trump’s threats highlight the stark choice in this election: personal vendettas or real conservative leadership,” said Haley spokesperson Ann Marie Graham-Barnes. “Trump’s scheme blew up in his face. The contributions to the Haley campaign are pouring in — proof that people are sick of the drama and are rallying behind Nikki’s vision for a strong and proud America. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBH1926 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 5 hours ago, Sabrefan1 said: Wow!! I had no idea Washington used that many, When I lived in the Southwest for almost a decade, they were mostly used as handymen and cheap construction labor, but they weren't necessary, just convenient. Back then, California was the only state that had an actual real need of immigrants for their farms. When I left the Southwest and moved back to Buffalo in the middle of the aughts, almost 20 years ago, California was concerned with the uptick in the Mexican economy thanks to manufacturing being moved there. Everyone from Napa Valley to the food staple farms were complaining that they wouldn't get the workers that they needed to bring in their harvests. In the Midwest agricultural work is done mostly by illegal migrants, slaughter houses as well. Construction, landscaping, factory work as well where I live. When it comes to hospitality industry, if all Mexican and Central Americans left, every single restaurant and hotel would close down. Even last few years, since migration has slowed down from Mexico, wages for BOH have gone up tremendously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eisenhower did the same thing when Arkansas governor sent National guard in 1957 to prevent school integration.

What a gong show that thing turned out to be. https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/26/politics/fani-willis-nathan-wade-georgia-state-senate-investigation/index.html @Cerridwen Why the faux minus rep face? The DA couldn't keep it in her pants and she overpaid the dude boinking her so he'd take her on vacations and boink her some more. The judge is none to happy with her and she's being investigated by the state of Georgia for criminal activity. How is that not a gong show? She could end up losing her license to practice law, lose her position in her own DA office, and end up with her very own criminal record.

I gave up recreational drinking just before I moved back home to Buffalo almost 20 years ago. It lost it's appeal to me. Now I'll just kick back a drink now and again during special occasions. I've never been a big wine drinker. It's funny how awful beer and alcohol tastes once you lose your taste for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much her paying exorbitant amounts of money to her boy toy so he could take her on multiple vacations. She's in more than a bit of trouble. As for Georgia, it's not as red as it used to be. Trump will likely still take it in November though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he loses the election in November, a dismissal without prejudice will just add to his legal bills because the trial will start all over from square 1. If he wins the election in November, that will just pause the trial for 4 years, but he'll do his damndest as president to have it thrown out and my money is on that he'll succeed. Trump has more, by a wide margin, riding on this election than I have ever seen any candidate have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US, from my personal pov, literally has everything, from the most innovative , best and smartest to what ever you have to be to hang a picture of Jesus and Trump up in your kitchen. What seems new to me is the level of sustained hate there seems to be now, and just how much people have moved away from basic issues like good jobs, food prices, etc. The extremes seem larger to me now, maybe it was 5% on either side when I was a kid, now it feels more like 20% on both sides are extremists. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have politicians to thank for that. They used the emerging divide to win elections and in so doing, made the divides widen. As a middle of the road Independent, I've been watching it happen for years now. Honestly as far as movement goes, the left sprinted even further left than the Republicans went right. That was their direct reaction to what the Tea Party did with the Republican party by moving them into a mostly conservative party. So basically one side went far right and the other side responded by going even further left. It's why moderates (mostly Republican) have been retiring from Congress recently. That will leave the government itself more radical, both left and right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote I do think Trump is going to win, unless by some miracle the Dems put forward a better choice. I think right now Trump has the upper hand. If the Democrats can stir up their base and get them to vote again rather than stay home, 2024 could be a repeat of 2020.

Who is going to make my family's life better? The Democrats - the so called progressives in particular - have really dropped the ball on that question.
