His reversal of policies resulted in nearly all those waiting in Mexico being processed instead in the US. Biden didn’t fully implement remain in Mexico even after the court blocked it. Parts of it never returned. The crossings and numbers under the Biden admin speak for themselves. Trying to sanitise this as anything other than a massive own goal by the Biden admin, by frantically cherrypicking points from Democrat friendly news sources, I find deceptive. It was only after the cockup did he try to reverse course but by that point most of the damage was done and Biden was seen by voters and migrants as a soft touch.

You thought it was fully built apparently. When Biden ended the policy nearly all those waiting in Mexico crossed the border for processing in the US. Even after the 2022 decision, large parts of the programme was gutted. As is Trump’s right. Ultimately it was a win handed to Trump by the Dems.

Lol. I can’t believe you’re flopped the victim card over such a bland comment. I was only returning your serve LC regarding the ‘wrong side of history’ comment - remember? I find your posts regularly wrong and or frequently deceptive, and it’s not crossing the ‘too personal’ line to say so.

Remember that wall you said Trump built? Biden stopped the building of it. It’s not fully built. Remain in Mexico - rescinded by Biden. Travel ban for certain countries - rescinded. What I’m trying to say is that the alternative wasn’t just to undo all these things because Trump.

If I’m on the other side of you on matters like this, I’ll take my chances.

It’s working? Better than before - that’s for sure. Keep coping though with your Benny Hill music and memes.

They do, which is why they couldn’t give Biden a win. They wanted power to do it properly. Not some crappy immigration deal which basically allowed 1.5 million a year before things got serious.

You said just a page over it was a ‘anything but abuse of the office of President’. When you were corrected, and when it was pointed out that it was actually a grand jury in the one of the liberal parts of the US you start bringing totally irrelevant BS. Who gives a crap what the statistics are, or if the prosecutor was a rookie.

Sorry change, but respectfully who gives a fuck? This just reads as insane levels of cope.

So you are saying a rookie prosecutor still managed to get two indictments in a 70-30 Democrat district and you think that’s an argument that works in your favour?

LOL, why would the GOP give the Democrats a win on that, potentially undermine their election chances, and even worse, undermine their ability to enact much stricter measures. The Dems shot themselves in the foot when they immediately overturned Trump’s border policies which ended up flooding the country with illegals and desperately wanted a deal. A deal which would have allowed a quota of something like 1.5 million illegals a year (4,000 a day) before ‘stronger’ measures kicked in, and a deal which didn’t even promise to deport all the illegals.

Contrary to your claim it wasn’t Trump who dreamed up the indictments. There were 23 jurors, likely selected from a Democrat dominated areas, that by majority somehow thought there was merit in the case. And you can bet that a good number of them probably hate Trump with a passion.

What are you talking about? The recommendation of charges against Comney came from a majority decision of 23 jurors in federal grand jury in Virginia. Edit - it was in Alexandra Virginia, a suburb of D.C. In the 2024 election nearly 80% of the electorate voted for Harris.

Some of those are before my time. Clinton and Nixon were guilty in each case. Clinton’s was a big nothing, of course he’s going to lie to save public embarrassment and his marriage. Trump’s case was a big nothing burger partly funded by the Democrats. Comney knew much of the Steele report was BS and knew it was funded by the Dems and still used it anyway. And yes, Trump is cry baby, but maybe he has something to actually cry about too. You admit yourself that there was weaponisation of the legal system against him. Can we say that of Clinton?

Which sets it out immediately as being very different to anything before. It wasn’t just ‘cut throat opposition politics’. It was a bunch of people with a serious animosity to Trump who went off the rails. Trump might have made that payment even if he had not been running for president. Nobody knows. It was another attempted BS gotcha. There was no case. It was a campaign of lies to overthrow a sitting president. There has been no precedence in my lifetime. It was a lot more than just opposition politics. People really were deranged. This is weak. You admit it like a banana republic and then argue some of the people who orchestrated it should be above the law? When Trump was under the spotlight loads of the talking heads were saying ‘nobody is above the law’. He or Andrew McCabe lied to Congress. One of them did.

The hunt for Trump started before he was elected with the bullshit link to Russian collusion. The DNC funded Steele dossier of him enjoying golden showers, that the Kremlin cultured him for years as an agent. A dossier full of shit but used to get surveillance authorisations. Trump Tower meetings with a Russian diplomat (who the Democrats also met) lead into the Mueller investigation. The two year Mueller investigation that couldn’t bring a charge on anything related to Russia. They tried to get him over Stormy Daniel’s and whether it was ‘campaign finance’. They tried again over obstruction of justice because he fired Comney. They tried to get him over the Ukraine phone called about Hunter and Joe Biden. They tried so many additional time with court case, with like 80 felony counts. Let’s be serious, the establishment really went after Trump. It was disgraceful and from my view people who orchestrated it should be punished in some way. It was like a banana republic. Regarding Comney. He was a partisan hack who admitted Clinton broke the rules with her private server but then decided to take no action. He leaked on at least one occasion. He posted 8647 on Instagram. He was happy to charge people like Flynn for lying, but somehow it’s an issue if he gets charged for potentially lying too?

Lol, good analogy. Yes they send him out to see what way the wind is blowing.

The boss is sitting there listening and didn’t correct him. I feel Lutnick is the guy they get to say things and then they adjust based on the reaction to that. Leaves everybody thinking - Lutnick doesn’t know shit.

Went and read his take. Very good. And he’s right, the cancel culture thing was going back through peoples social media posts, and trying to get them fired for it. In the UK there was a famous case with Maya Forstater, she tweeted ‘sex is binary’ in her personal capacity. Disgruntled colleagues complained and got her sacked.

This was funny.

I had not seen those comments so needed to go read them. With Kimmel, I don’t know what came from Trump and what didn’t. I can see where you are coming from though. However, Kimmel did say something completely insensitive and untrue. Wouldn’t surprise me that the executives were simply fed up with this kind of shit, and just need an excuse to get rid of him. Fox got rid of Tucker because of a lawsuit settlement for some of the shit he said. The same might be on the way for Kimmel.

Did Kimmel and Colbert get cancelled because of Trump? We are making many leaps here. Podcasts are different, they are normally independent operations, they live or die by the income they generate. They can say whatever they want. Rogan is hugely popular and it’s a platform he built. Compare that to Don Lemon who go, he tried his own show and gets like 10,000 viewers now lol. Turns out nobody really cares for his race baiting crap. Most of these shows are operated by big media companies. Fox fired Tucker a couple of years ago (rightly so) and Kimmel was gloating about it.

I don’t know why you are saying I can turn it off - I never watched these guys. I didn’t call for them to get fired or say they shouldn’t have free speech can say what they want. But they are employees of the company, and if the product is crap, and if as employees they are bringing harm to the company is it any surprise they got the axe? There is a code of conduct for my job, I keep my mouth shut in politics. It’s all these guys. I don’t understand how late night TV hosted by ‘comedians’ turned into quasi lectures on politics. At least Bill Maher and John Stewart punch both ways often, but even then, just why is politics on the menu all the time.

That’s not what I’ve seen. There are accounts organically organising this in place like Twitter. The people getting cancelled for expressing their views celebrated Kirk getting killed for his views. They are for the ultimate form of cancelling - assassination. It’s hard to feel much sympathy for them. This is quite different from much of the cancelling we have seen before. A person would say something like there are only two sexes and they would be accused of transphobia.

That’s companies making those decisions. Colbert’s show was losing a ton of money. The world will be a better place with their shows gone Even that’s a watered down version of fascism used to mean, and certainly Trump isn’t a dictator or suppressing the opposition by force.
