U.S. Politics

  You guys need to get some immediate treatment for the TDS you are suffering through. Trump was POTUS for 4 yrs previously. This alleged "dictator", "king" did Not take over the USA during his previous 4 yr term. Just relax. Have you tried breathing deeply into a paper bag?

In which we learn that New Mexico and Texas where the measles outbreak occurred is "nowhere near the border"

Texas and New Mexico are big states.  The measles outbreaks are in the northern part of the state far from the border.  You ain't from around here, are you boy?

and that acknowledging a kid struggling with cancer for a couple of moments is objectionable.

It is when you're just exploiting him for a photo-op right before you cut funding for cancer research.

If an illegal alien commits even a single crime, that is one too many.  And a crime that is preventable.  They should not be allowed to come here illegally.  Trump has proven that common sense measures can ensure that thousands don't get across the border every.  How about you make this argument to the parents of women and children who have been murdered by illegal aliens.  Explain how your leftist ideology trumps the lives of their children.  If you were concerned about the rights of women, you might have a bit more compassion for the women that have been assaulted and killed by illegal aliens.

"Richard" apparently prefers to be victimized by criminals who are citizens.

Like his president.

How can you be so right about our current political situation but so wrong about the JFK assassination, Iacoletti?

The important point is that more money is going out than coming in.  A lot more.  And that has been the case for a long time.  The US is $38 trillion and counting in debt.   All the money coming in goes into a big pot from which all the outgoing spending is funded (social security, wars etc).  Currently, more social security money is being spent than coming in. The differnce has to be made up from other sources.  So if you are spending billions on a war, that money is not available to pay for social security.  That is not sustainable. 

There is:
Option A (the Biden plan aka do nothing) - keep spending, ignore the problem, and leave it to future generations to suffer after the system collapses.  This means establishment politicians don't have to be bearers of bad news and can stay in office. 

Option B (Trump/Musk plan) - acknowledge the problem and try to address it before it becomes a catastrophe.  This means making cuts and some pain for society which translate in taking a popularity hit.  Even that is unlikely to save the situation.

Wow, you're even more gullible than I thought.  The cuts are only being made to get rid of programs that the orange felon and his handlers don't personally approve of, and only to make room to give billionaires another $4 trillion in tax cuts.  The debt is not going to go down.

  Like I said, if $$/Billions can be spent on Illegal Aliens across the USA, the $$ is there. FIX IT !!

That's a problem that could be fixed real fast with mass deportations.  Unfortunately, that process has been a great disappointment. Homan talks the talk, but he isn't walking the walk.  Fewer deportations so far than even under Old Joe.

a) "illegal aliens" don't get government services

b) Mass deportations cost a lot of money too

Let stop pretending it's about the money.

I could ask you the same question..

   Really?  Exactly what is the mileage limitation on Measles?
