Bring the kiddos.... it's $450k per.

I'd be hopping mad if I made it over without a problem and was busy tying rebar and somehow got wind of the $450k that everybody else got for getting caught.

..... thing that I've ever read. [Hidden Content] Our government is preparing to give $450,000 to each person "affected" by being apprehended and separated from their family at our border. Those, my friends, are some very expensive votes you and I are purchasing. God help us all.

I thought the same thing. I think TVC's opinion is interesting because it seems to me that the last thing you'd want to do is hang a kid with assault charges for a schoolhouse fight. When I was in school, a fight in PE or Athletics meant a quick trip to the coach's office and I'm certain that paperwork was never even sent in to the principals office. You just got lit up and put back in line. I've got the opinion that the heavy-handed approach leads to situations where good kids can't defend themselves for fear of prosecution... which means that the kids who aren't afraid of prosecution can pretty much do whatever they want. I can't count the times that we saw a bully get taken down a peg or two, either by a victim or a samaritan. Kids today just can't do that, and the end result is that the bad kids have a whole campus full of victims at their disposal. But like I said.. it's been a while since I was in school.

[Hidden Content] yeah…. Trump had the border under control. What amazes me is that y’all honestly believe all of the lies.

I remember when "Mad Dog" Mattis was the best thing since pockets on a shirt.... and then he turned out to be the biggest POS ever (just like everybody else who dared to criticize Trump).

I support my team even when the coach is a clown. But pretending that he's a Hall of Fame Coach when he's 0-32 like Trump is just insane.

Right... Trump is right and everybody else is wrong. Nominate Trump (or somebody like him) and you'll have another Democrat President in 2024. He's literally the worst president we've ever had and y'all are all still here singing his praises. 1. Race relations worsened under his watch 2. He destroyed the strongest economy in our lifetime 3. Deficits/Debt exploded on his watch because of tax cuts without corresponding cuts in spending 4. We lost both houses of Congress under his leadership 5. He had to take a pregnancy test after what senile Joe Biden did to him in the election 6. He started an insurrection in a failed attempt to retain his power. He was trash, and anybody that's still singing his praises is trash, too.

"They do it, too" is your defense? I thought we were better than them? There's nothing wrong with standing up for yourself and punching back. But that's not what Trump was doing. Going after Megyn Kelly because she has a menstrual period? How is that punching back? It's not, it's just alienating a lot of undecided voters who also get periods. If Trump is so awesome, wouldn't he be smart enough to get all of those ignorant moderates to vote for him instead of Biden? Apparently not.

This is all that I've been saying since the election. The clown act was the problem... not the people who voted against four more years of the clown act.

He's in an echo chamber... he has supporters that clap like seals no matter what he says or does. It doesn't matter if Trump liked John McCain or not... the guy was a legit hero and was beloved in his home state of Arizona. Is it a surprise that Arizonans voted for the guy that DIDN'T take posthumous dump on McCain? Apparently that outcome came as a complete shock to Trump and his loyalists across the country. This is my firm belief. Trump didn't win a single vote with his childish behavior in the first debate. No reasonable person watched that mess and thought... you know, that guy throws a good fit. I'm voting for him. But I can guarantee that Trump's behavior earned Joe Biden a lot of votes. You can't blame that on the media... trump did it to himself.

Debunk what you see at 1:36.

I didn't see the part where they were bashing in windows, crushing police officers in doors, and bonking people with fire extinguishers. If you're still defending anybody's actions on 1/6, you're a part of the problem and also the reason that trump got his cheeks clapped by a senile old man.

I always scoff at these stories. Have you ever tried to open your car door as you were driving down the road? It's hard. Now imagine trying to maintain control of your car as you reach across the vehicle, over a person who is likely resisting, then somehow having the superhuman strength to hold the passenger door open with one arm while shoving a full grown human out the door with your second arm and using your third arm to steer the car. This scenario only applies if the driver is being accused. A passenger in the middle would have a lot easier time shoving the outside seated passenger out of a vehicle, but only if they're going slowly enough that the wind won't keep the door closed.

Fair enough.... why do black people always vote Democrat? Because they believe that those politicians will act in the black community's best interest. But more specifically, because Democrat politicians actually say things that appeal to the black community. Same thing with Conservatives/Trump. Build the wall. Send them back. Welfare Queens. Thugs. Abortion is murder (even though I've personally paid for eight). It's right here in Corinthians One (Pointing to upside down bible). I'm not saying the guy is a hardcore racist.... but he goes out of his way to say things that appeal to the actual racists. Don't even get me started on the way he talks to/about women. Did he think he was gonna get by without any female votes. Any female that voted for Trump has a husband that beats her. Guaranteed.

I can’t name on both hands the number of people that I know who knowingly voted against their own personal interests to vote against Trump. Moderately wealthy women who just couldn’t stand the guy, for instance. You know how everybody shows pics of their grand babies believing that their grandkid is the cutest thing in the entire world… and the rest of us who are sentimentally attached to the little guy are like “poor kid?” That’s Trump supporters who can’t objectively look at Trump’s behavior as the reason he’s not the President. Shame on good people who tolerated abhorrent behavior because his politics suited their own. If good people had held him responsible when he said stupid crap, then he might have toned down his “bleeding from wherever” remarks about women. Trump’s mouth (not the media, not tender footed moderates, or cheating that didn’t occur) is the big reason that he got taken to the woodshed last fall.

The thing is…. About half of that stuff is true about Trump. Why do white supremacists almost universally support Trump? It’s not because of his economic policies. When he said reprehensible things, his supporters called anybody who disagree “sensitive” or “weak” when in fact Trump was literally driving people to the polls to vote against him. Joe Biden didn’t get 81 million votes. He got about 70 and the other 11 were voting against for more years of Trump and his blindly loyal supporters. Those people aren’t Patriots. They aren’t conservatives. They’re not even Christian if they don’t condemn his unchristian behaviors. They’re just loyal to Trump.

He was right… I’m not black.

I think Trump lost the election on the night of the first debate in 2020. It wasn't just tweeting, it was a bratty 2 year old making sure that everybody knew that he was throwing a fit. He wasn't Presidential at all... he seemed like a toddler wailing on the floor at the mall in front of the Great American Cookie Company because mommy wouldn't get him a double-doozy. And the undecideds rightfully decided at that point that ANYTHING was better than four more years of of Trump's garbage. I guess most of y'all have never run off a decent looking woman because you got tired of the way she acted. Y'all are still saying "but she was so PRETTY!"

I watched The George Lopez late night talk show on its very first episode on TNT. He came out for his monologue and most of it was about how stupid George W. Bush and his supporters were. I remember thinking... "how does it make sense to outright alienate half of your potential viewers on Day One? Don't you want your show to be a success?" I had the same feeling every time that Trump did something that would alienate any decent person who wasn't already a fan of his. It's a recipe for disaster... and that's what we got. It's not tweets about the opposition... it's tweets about the 50% of people who weren't enamored with him, and it encouraged them to go out and vote against him.

It's not about the Democrats... it's about his behavior that was so off-putting to the people in the middle. The moderates who decided that anything was better than four more years of buffoonery. And to be honest, I'll bet that most of them are still just fine with their decision. That small voice in your head that went "hey, that wasn't nice, but I still think he's best president we've ever had" went more like "I really can't stand this guy" in the heads of people who weren't already endeared to him. If Trump runs in 2024 the Dems win again. You read it here first.

It's a shame that Trump's behavior led us into the current situation.
