FEDIT POLITICS Thread

A simple truth ignored by both Left and Right.
We've had decades to address this issue and BOTH sides shun it yet average Americans agree that countries need borders

and then you go down the 'blame game' worm hole thinking/stating that it is 'the other guy' preventing it.
Perhaps you might inquire which Bush 'ever' did anything about a border?

Channeling my inner @rube .. you seem to think that one side will actually 'do' anything about this. Yeah, about that notion.. it isn't like both sides haven't had plenty of chances to do 'something' and yet here we are. John Q. Public thinks that a border wall/fence is a good idea. Those bought and paid for 535 in DC?? Not so much.

 

:clap:

Of course lost in the entire conversation was the fact that the GOP budget is the largest proposed deficit in history, with the largest military budget in history adding to the largest US debt in history. What happened to the GOP being the party of fiscal restraint? LOL


Liars one and all

By doing what? Oh just raising the debt ceiling again. As if 'that' were a solution

Idiots one and all

 

It's been a bipartisan problem for 20 years. It's a left problem in this very moment.

 

It's a Left problem solely because you wish to describe it as a Left problem
Let's not overlook that the GOP runs both the White House and the Senate so blaming the Left is rather disingenuous

Of course, to be fair, it's difficult to claim the the GOP, or even rational reasoning, runs Trump

 

Criminy man look out.. don't you know what the DSP jackals do when they see a typo?

Ulterior.

Now there's no need to get fetid about it @LAdiablo

 

So Schumer and Pelosi are not speaking on behalf of their friends?
What's the hold up?

 

"God Bless Us Jackals, Everyone"...

 

Pelosi floundered an opportunity to make Trump look bad. This is what she should have been saying instead of telling Trump he didn’t have the votes.

those council members are card carrying members of densa programmed to steal
i think it should be required of eligible voters to spend a day in chambers to witness the slow lazy bizarre daily circus
and if you have business you just get to witness it grind its citizens up because it can

 

Apparently Jimmy Kimmel called GoFundMe donors (for the border wall) "dopey, meth addicts" on his show.

He can say whatever he wants, I suppose.

Somehow I think if a late night host called a bunch of donors to transgender causes "Mentally ill, _____ addicts" there would be a different reaction.

If the government does not want to perform one of its few basic duties, people will take matters into their own hands and it's pretty cool that many individuals are willing to put money into it. It's a positive story and sets a good example.

 

Kimmel was never funny, so no real loss there.
Colbert and Mhaer (who is criminally unfunny) have always preferred to be viewed as intellectuals and regardless of party affiliation I cant laugh with someone who thinks they're smarter than everyone else in the room.
Conan is funny. I never watch his show but when I catch a clip or something he usually makes me laugh.

 

I said in my post that Jimmy Kimmel can say whatever he wants.
However, his industry's double standard on "hate speech" carries consequences.

One of the very few things our government is actually supposed to do is protect the sovereignty of the U.S. There's a contingent on both sides of the aisle who are not prioritizing that duty for political purposes (seemingly, as many of those opposed to approving funding for a physical barrier were not so opposed before D.T. took office...taking them only at their word).

If you want to make the argument that a wall would not be effective or economically viable, that's an argument I'd listen to. Unfortunately, that debate has never occurred in sincerity. Instead, as usual, it's a moral argument. Those who want border security are "dopey meth addicts".

Nothing has worked for 30 years. So I'm down to try D.T's way.
