It’s sad how the GOP and Trump supporters first instinct is to look for someone to blame and do nothing but cast aspersions whereas most people’s first instinct is to help people in difficulty.
Even in a disaster where people are dying the Trump supporters act like this.
Yes Argyll. From whom do you think we learned how to cast aspersions? You & your fellow comrades!!
Honestly, take a look at Biden’s agenda. Almost everything he proposes is so radical & against our Conservative values of which we must object. . Easy!!
Damn straight. It is American citizens of all races, colors, and creeds, right here at home, about whom I care most. And millions of them are hurting and need help. Only after we take care of our own is it time to assist those outside our borders. I hope that time arrives but right now it is not a sure thing.
I love the preening, self-important, virtue signalling, politically correct, we are better people than you are, liberals who literally care more about foreigners than about our own American citizens, even during a pandemic . . . . especially during a pandemic.
But those liberal lefties are even worse than might appear at first to be the case. Their hidden agenda is the tearing down of America herself, starting with our least fortunate, thus paving the way for their desperately sought after socialist nirvana. This is an important aspect of their “build back socialist” agenda. And Biden is right in there doing everything possible to bring their vision to fruition.
It really is so racist to insist that our immigration laws be followed. Plenty of people of all colors have followed them and are now legal citizens and largely welcome.
It’s the legalization of the illegal immigrants that people particularly take exception to, because they are violating the laws, jumping the line and normal process, and being rewarded the liberals for breaking the law. But I guess the Democrats figure letting in criminals and exceptionally poor people are a lot more likely to Vote Correctly than if they are letting in law abiding, more qualified immigrants who would contribute to our society instead of mostly taking social welfare benefits and bringing in their relatives.
? We have laws for asylum. It’s not racist for those laws to be followed rather than illegal orders and machinations to violate them.
Yes it’s a policy decision on what the nation wants. It was also following the law when the Jews were turned around from US ports and sent to gas chambers. That doesn’t make the policy right.
That say all these folks should have sought asylum in Mexico, unless they’re Mexican I guess. First eligible country for all the Central Americans.
Besides, our asylum system is a joke - just say the right, unverifiable excuse (“I’m gay and they hate me back home” or whatever) and everyone is eligible when in practice the vast majority are trying to come to the US for economic opportunities. Why should we reward lying?
There you go again… (certainly bothers me) The gas chambers??
Comparing the Jews of WW2 or before & Illegal Immigrants rushing our US borders today. But this is Biden’s agenda. (don’t think he is thinking of Jews)
I could rephrase it perhaps to make more sense for the other side of the aisle.
America is so full of white supremacists and systemic racism against black and brown people, and those racists views are so deeply seated that we’ll need decades of Truth and Reparation Commissions to even try to start to tackle it, that we really owe these illegal immigrants a duty to tell them to go back home or to seek asylum in Mexico where the kind locals will be much more welcoming.
We’re doing them all a favor by not admitting them for asylum and helping the resident illegal immigrants return home where their superior cultures will be much more fair and welcoming to them.
Don’t worry, I’m sure these poor oppressed folks are happier now that they’ll be referred to as “undocumented non-citizens” instead of “illegal aliens” per Dear Leader’s latest edict.
Election retrospective, Trump’s failings and the aftermath
All of this, and more, led the president to believe that he had been cheated. Yet despite the gravity of that belief, he did not organize a serious effort on his own behalf—not, as noted, before election day despite ample warning, nor even on the morning after when so many of the predicted irregularities proved true. For a while the president was even silent, and at other times inconsistent. There was no leadership, no rallying point: not for the staff, the campaign, or the party.
But the worst error of all was to raise expectations well beyond any ability to deliver. To be blunt, millions of the president’s supporters became convinced that the outcome of the election would be reversed and that he would serve a second term. Not merely that this was the right or correct or just outcome, but that it really would happen . The rally on January 6 may have been the spark that set off the run to the Capitol, but the kindling had been accumulating for weeks.
The single biggest loser of January 6 was Donald Trump himself. His entire presidency will now be forced and filtered through this one deliberately distorted lens. All the good he did will be demonized, denied, and then forgotten. But collectively, the biggest losers are his supporters. Trump’s sensible program—secure borders, fair trade, a modest foreign policy—will be branded (to the extent that it hasn’t been already) indistinguishable from fascism. And then abandoned—to their detriment.
What we now have, more and more, is a one-party oligarchy. This was the nemesis of the Trump presidency. Like all oligarchies, ours rules by coercion, not consent. It exerts its power primarily by constraining allowable, expressible opinion: it knows that the thing which cannot be said eventually becomes that which cannot be thought. And the chief thoughts it wishes to suppress are objections to its own misrule. When and where it cannot “persuade”—that is, propagandize—it punishes, with the defiant fired from their jobs, made unemployable, cut off from the financial system, even, in some cases, shunned by friends and family. This is not “death,” exactly. But how much less cruel is it, really, to cut people off from human contact and the means of making a living?
You would think it’s an SNL skit making fun of NewsMax but, no, it’s real.
We know Trump doesn’t like dogs because he said so. He doesn’t like people, either. Maybe he’ll make “Dogs Bad” part of the GOP Platform. Oh, I forgot. There is no GOP Platform.

"Texans across the state have reported water outages and burst pipes after water lines froze solid. Other residents once again have water coming through their faucets, but at low pressure.
As of Friday, more than 14 million people across the state had been asked to boil water in order to guard against possible contamination after water pressure dropped and water treatment was disrupted due to power outages.
In San Antonio, some people went down to the city’s famed River Walk to get non-potable water to be able to flush their toilets. Others are thawing ice that they collected from the recent ice storm. One hospital in Houston even collected rainwater to flush toilets, Houston Methodist CEO Dr. Marc Boom told CNN.
“We take a lot of things for granted, and water is one of those niceties that’s really hard to be without,” Boom said."
