I hate Trump. I really hate Trump. However, with what I have read and watched lately I think he is going to win. Americans are stupid.
Help me off the cliff.
There is no "influx of immigration"; #s are down from historical highs.Now if you said, he’s going to use the US military to stop the influx of immigration….ok, it seems extreme from what we’ve traditionally done but I could believe that.
Why should I believe you when you say he'll be a dictator this time when he wasn't last time? The left has behaved much more like a dictator would the last 4 years vs 2017 to 2020 under trump..Our "armed forces" would have no say in the matter here.
Once America loses its Constitutional protections due to a dictator taking hold w/ his lackeys doing what he wants, all bets are off.
Quite a few historians have outlined that this is exactly how democracies fail. SC already dropped a massive bomb w/ "absolute immunity" nonsense, which completely undermines Rule of Law.
Her sister (no pic) wants the family to go to Florida during New Years. I told her to have fun, I'm sure the kids will love the beach. Aside from that, I have no use for this adventure. I will be enjoying peace and quiet.At least she respects you not having to be around them.

What he's going to do is activate the Foreign Enemies Act of 1798 and start incarcerating people: his enemies. And he'll have the power to do it w/o any guardrails. That's the act that allowed rounding up Japanese Americans during WWII, and Congress never declared that unconstitutional. And they gave him "absolute immunity" for all "official acts", so it's not really difficult to do the math here...
Because he tried on his last month in office "last time" and has informed you that's exactly what he's gonna do "next time".Why should I believe you when you say he'll be a dictator this time when he wasn't last time?
Today I learned that being a dictator means leaving office after legal options to a rigged election failed. Real genius stuff per usual, Joe. True galaxy brain stuff. Typically the dictators are the ones rigging elections btw 😉Because he tried on his last month in office "last time" and has informed you that's exactly what he's gonna do "next time".
How, exactly, is negotiating a tough border law w/ a massive increase in resources - something key GOP leaders have been pushing for, for over a decade - "not acknowledging the problem"?It’s silly that the current administration didn’t acknowledge a problem until this last year at the boarder.
You and the left lied for 3.5 years saying the border was secure when it wasn't. We have the receipts lmfao you are the one lying and gas lighting.How, exactly, is negotiating a tough border law w/ a massive increase in resources - something key GOP leaders have been pushing for, for over a decade - "not acknowledging the problem"?
That's ADDRESSING the problem directly. With an act of Congress.
You're gaslit here. Completely.

You and the left lied for 3.5 years saying the border was secure when it wasn't.
So the bill (which you said would massively increase resources) was never passed, and nothing could be done for three years.
Glad we agree on that.You’re absolutely right I’m gaslit.
Congress passes the laws.
So, indeed, nothing (legal) can be done until Congress acts.
Do you need a Schoolhouse Rock update video here to "re-learn" how bills become laws?
To be fair, the admin was a wee bit busy trying to navigate the coronavirus which killed 1million+ Americans, stave off massive inflation and a much-talked about recession, and deal with the repercussions of 1/6/21. Not that the admin couldn't have also accomplished what hasn't been accomplished in the previous many decades (re: immigration reform) during that time as well, but I think the majority were good with the government prioritizing the above first.Just so I get this straight…..
No bills were passed, yet the administration took a different tactic w/o Congress to slow down boarder crossings….
Yup, the same thing they could’ve done years earlier.
This is true if you are a hetero, white, male.If Trump wins my life stays the same
If Harris wins my life stays the same.
Grow up, Jan. 🙄🙄🙄Because Trump loves Putin and wants to be like him.

The pandemic allowed for additional border shutdowns; the laws that allow that no longer apply.To be fair, the admin was a wee bit busy trying to navigate the coronavirus which killed 1million+ Americans, stave off massive inflation and a much-talked about recession, and deal with the repercussions of 1/6/21. Not that the admin couldn't have also accomplished what hasn't been accomplished in the previous many decades (re: immigration reform) during that time as well, but I think the majority were good with the government prioritizing the above first.
Trump was able to follow EXISTING STATUTES related to the Covid pandemic and issue Exec Orders using those statutes, which EXPIRED and are NO LONGER RELEVANT.
Re-read that, until it sinks in for you.
Cried herself to sleep, over a hat? That's silly.CSB time.
My FIL showed up at our house yesterday with a Trump 2024 hat on. My youngest spotted it out the window and asked why he was wearing a Trump hat to my NP and me. I just rolled my eyes but Mrs. Insane about lost her shit. I’m pretty sure he was wearing it just to get a reaction, which after I calmed the NP down, didn’t happen.
He’s an old, white, religious farmer who watches Fox regularly. He fits every demographic Trump goes after, so it was no surprise to me that he will vote for Trump a third time despite having a trans grandchild.
I just found out tonight, that my SIL had recently FaceTimed my FIL and he was wearing the same hat. Apparently she cried herself to sleep that night because she has completely lost respect for her father. It will be an interesting Holiday season if Trump wins.
From my view, coronavirus concerns eased significantly over that time period, inflation eased significantly, recession concerns eased significantly, and the border situation got increasingly worse. Because of this, the priorities of the admin (and the House/Senate) were re-shuffled, and then they spent year 3 (2023) trying to push through their immigration bills (Repubs with HR2 in May of 2023, and Dems with the "bipartisan" bill in Feb of 2024).What changed from the first three years for the last year you’re not answering the question

Ahh plays identity politics.This is true if you are a hetero, white, male.
And my life will stay the same. Maybe my spending patterns will change and yes I’ll get to bully people cause that’s what I totally do in real life.No; it really won't.
Tariff/trade wars are going to impact Main St badly.
You're going to see budget deficits balloon the debt beyond anything you'd imagined (which is what economists are warning you about).
But, you'll get to bully gay and trans people, incessantly, so you'll have that going for you.
We see that.And my life will stay the same. Maybe my spending patterns will change and yes I’ll get to bully people cause that’s what I totally do
Lawlz you’re so full of shit. I mean your fingers have to be tired day after day with out the bullshit you writeWe see that.
Lawlz you’re so full of shit.
This makes zero sense.
Go rethink what you were trying to say here, and re-post.
Use complete sentences.
In English.
Bruh you are the projection queen. I am not voting for Trump but you keep making up fantasies in your head. Seems to be pretty crowded up there.Wha?
I agreed with you, when you said you'll "get to bully people".
It's why Trump is so appealing to you. He makes that "normal" for Republicans. They'd rather act like bigots and bullies than have any semblance of fiscal responsibility or economic growth.
Those appear to be your priorities.
Bruh you are the projection queen.
Are you perhaps @InsaneHawkJJP ’s wife?Because Trump loves Putin and wants to be like him.
