massive purposeful denial on "illegalalien" open borders
« Reply #2250 on: February 25, 2025, 06:33:03 AM »
So disheartening when libs simply refuse to admit anything even the glaringly obvious:

Harvard Harris Poll says Democrats currently have 32% approval. That's roughly in line with 75% of Democrats thinking what went wrong was an accident.

We can argue and persuade perhaps a few more to understand what we understand but in politics it may be more important to lock in the other 68% instead of fighting for the remaining 32%.

Paradoxically, as the left shrinks in size, loses its centrists, it becomes more radical.

They can't figure out to get off of the 20% side of an 80/20 issue.

Their only hope is the same thing that brought Republicans back to power, opposition overreach.

From "X" :

"Elon musk is worth $400 billion because he owns significant stakes in Tesla, SpaceX, and X, and XAI.

Elizabeth Warren is worth $20 million AND UP because…???

I'll wait.

And show your work."

Warren net worth
« Reply #2254 on: February 26, 2025, 06:18:48 AM »
??????

I read posts of anywhere from 8 million up to 73 million

Here is Forbes in '19:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/michelatindera/2019/08/20/how-elizabeth-warren-built-a-12-million-fortune/

Odd, suddenly when I search what comes up today at the top of the list is $8 mill.  Funny that was not there in my search a few days ago.

They think *they* can dumb us down. [me]: Not a chance.  Funny how the order on a search list can change in a day isn't it.

maybe only if it helps the cRats:

https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2025/02/26/michael-moore-trump-might-be-deporting-illegals-who-could-cure-cancer-or-stop-an-asteroid/

"Michael Moore: Trump Might Be Deporting Illegals Who Could ‘Cure Cancer’ or Stop an Asteroid"

  - Funny that with both those examples, not likely to happen, we would benefit just as much if they did it from their home countries.

Same logic. It only takes one great one to make the whole 21 million worth it. Or only took 19 hijackers or one covid visitor to tear the whole country down.  Much more likely to happen. Only one rapist to destroy a daughter's life. Only one gang to  destroy a city. Only one cartel carrying amfentanyl to kill 100,000 youth per year.

The who will pick our fruit argument doesn't cut it either. Or who will re- roof our homes.

None of that Justifies ANYONE coming in unvetted.

Crats suddenly holding up the Constitution
« Reply #2259 on: March 03, 2025, 11:58:03 AM »
and purposefully misrepresenting the document they have for generations previously despised:

https://thehill.com/opinion/education/5169276-constitution-collapse-donald-trump/

oh now the Constitution is important.  And they lie about its intensions on top of it.

TDS, "Align ourselves with dictators"
« Reply #2260 on: March 03, 2025, 08:09:16 PM »
Talk about insincere, the people who brought us deals with Iran and plane loads of cash to the Mullahs, the world’s number one state sponsor of terror, tell us we should call Putin a madman in every sentence while we invite him to the negotiating table.

Geniuses. It makes no sense they are out of power.

When they go on CNN with 50k viewers in a country of 340 million, do they even know they are out of power?

To protest cuts, Democrats want to shut down the government
« Reply #2261 on: March 04, 2025, 05:31:01 AM »
Democrats Define cognitive dissonance. To protest government getting smaller too quickly, Democrats want to shut it down entirely.

Cognitive Dissonance of the Left, trying to disrupt the disruptor
« Reply #2262 on: March 05, 2025, 07:22:14 AM »
Trump said, "This is my fifth such speech to Congress, and once again, I look at the Democrats in front of me, and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud, nothing I can do.

"I could find a cure to the most devastating disease, a disease that would wipe out entire nations or announce the answers to the greatest economy in history, or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded. And these people sitting right here will not clap, will not stand, and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements. They won't do it, no matter what -- five times I've been up here, it's very sad, and it just shouldn't be this way," he continued.

"So Democrats sitting before me for just this one night, why not join us in celebrating so many incredible wins for America, for the good of our nation, let's work together and let's truly make America great again."

https://justthenews.com/government/congress/trumps-big-speech-proves-be-optics-nightmare-democrats

(Doug). Majority of the Democrats didn't applaud the 13-year-old cancer survivor or the surviving family of the brave Secret Service man. They had their placards pre-printed lies, false, before they had heard anything he said. Last time, Nancy Pelosi tore up the speech. This time, she wasn't sitting in the Speaker chair.

No one knew what Rep. Al Green was shouting.

Hey Zelenskyy, even representative Al Green wore his best suit and tie to come scream at the president.

I'm so old I can remember when trying to disrupt an official proceeding of Congress was considered bad form, even criminal.

We've seen nothing like this - since Rep Jamaal Bowman pulled the fire alarm.

One more I'm so old, I'm so old I remember when Democrats wanted to be the adult in the room.

The one Democrat pictured who clapped
« Reply #2263 on: March 05, 2025, 08:42:47 AM »
When Trump called Elizabeth Warren by her REAL  name the cameras showed her clapping

 :wink:

That was probably the only image of any cRat clapping.

'Dems caught in the 80/20 loop' .  The wider internet reading the forum.

80/20 defined by me means if you brought greater focus and scrutiny to an issue you could get support that approaches 80/20.

Trump did that with the border, really Democrats did. Late term abortion, take a closer look and tell us there's no life in there. Crime, at least 80% oppose it. Prosperity, at least 80% favor it. And so on.  Only girls in girls sports. Only girls in girls locker rooms.

On the other side of it, opposition to making America great again, that's got potential to fall to 20%.

We should only be arguing about how to make America great again.

This nitwit thinks all her idiotic affectations somehow help her cause. You be the judge:
