I think Trump is a very sick and damaged human being, whose “beliefs” follow the track of whatever it would be best for him to “believe”. Reality plays little if any part of it.
^ good example of him not knowing and not caring what the truth is. And Emily’s unawareness of those facts demonstrates exactly how Trump’s lies “work” on other people, and how they draw “contact stupid” from him.
Other than partisans lacking integrity, who has any reason to preference "what this might possibly have meant if taken to the worst possible extreme" over "contextually supported interpretation with an understanding of figurative language"
Welcome to the the world of the Trumpsucker.Oh, we are supposed to take a man who tried to overthrow the government and stole government documents seriously but not literally, is that it?
That's just plain false. I don't know what data you're looking at, but it's wrong.
Obama had fewer people entering the country too. Biden has deported fewer than Trump did. I don't particularly care who you try to lay this on, the reality is that a whole lot of people have crossed the border over the last few years, and a large number of them are being released into the US on their own recognizance while their claim sits in a neverending queue. I get that there's a backlog, but the effect of this is that a very large number of people have been allowed to move to the US on the promise of showing up for a court date a decade in the future. You can wrap all kinds of technicalities around that, but it pretty much boils down to "Sure, come on in and set up shop!".
Here's a pretty decent write up that covers some of the issues in the bill as well as the tactics involved. It's easy to say "Oh tnoes, they're bad for not backing this bill". It's easy to paint the Dems as long-suffering martyrs trying to make nice and the Reps as horn-headed ne'er-do-wells that delight in obstruction. Reality is somewhere in the middle. Dems favor a much more generous approach to immigration, with little in the way of barriers; Reps favor much more stringent barriers and requirements to immigration; neither has a very good plan for how to deal with the millions and millions of non-citizens currently here.
I would dearly like you to stop with this invective and insult all the damned time. You aren't being subjected to constant denigration and name-calling, so have some modicum of decency and at least attempt to engage like an adult.Welcome to the the world of the Trumpsucker.Oh, we are supposed to take a man who tried to overthrow the government and stole government documents seriously but not literally, is that it?
Not all Trumpsuckers consider themselves Trump supporters.
Why do you have a problem with that policy? Your description of our border policy isn't accurate, but if that were our policy I wouldn't have a problem with it. What is someone supposed to do while their case is considered? Sit in jail at taxpayer expense? Applying for asylum is not a crime.
Sure. And Harris actually literally directly called 18 to 24 year olds stupid. Therefore, any time a Republican claims that Harris called potential voters stupid, they have completely integrity in doing so, because she said those words.
Cite?
Because, among many other reasons, Trump has already attempted to OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT, and has STOLEN AND REFUSED TO RETURN TOP-SECRET GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS. He is also a convicted FELON facing SCORES of indictments in separate felonious criminal cases.
I have a problem with it because it's not something happening in isolation.
You're just making up "facts" about asylum seekers, at this point. None of the above is actually true, or particularly relevant. The current rate of inflation is unrelated to whether a particular asylum seeker is going to have success in their case or not. There is very little competition between citizens and asylum-seekers for most jobs an asylum-seeker is qualified to work. You're throwing a bunxh of words at the screen, but very few of them are relevant to the situation of an asylum seeker at a US port or border crossing.
Is it your belief that Trump genuinely believes that Obama headed over to the ME incognito during his presidency and kickstarted ISIS?It's this:
In combination with this:
That’s what makes him unhinged. He says things in a ridiculous way, and even when you dig deeper to figure out what he really means, it’s still nonsense. The real unhinged part is he genuinely believes his own nonsense.
Or is it your belief that Trump genuinely believes that Obama did such a poor job of managing the conflict that he might as well have started ISIS, and that ISIS is a direct result of Obama's poor handling? Note that this is a question about what you think Trump believes, not what you believe.
It's my belief that Trump does NOT think Obama literally started ISIS, and that he likely recognizes that Obama didn't handle the ME great but also didn't materially cause ISIS to be formed, even indirectly, but that he knows he'll get political capital out of painting powerful democrats in a poor light using hyperbole and rhetoric.
You had me at good fucking christ on a pogo stick.
