Liberals are starting to panic. Donald Trump is going to win in a landslide

Not in my mind. Totally different comparison. Turkey crossed the border of Syria.

I think, the better comparison is the Biden/Harris administration stupidity of deliberately allowing multiple “Newcomers” from many Countries crossings over The United States of America borders. imho
Actually I would assert that Trump's insistence on using EO's which are simply stupid band-aids regarding an issue like Immigration springs in the main from his insistence that he gets all the credit for everything even if everything is just an unfunded band-aid:
1) Trump could have had legislation during the first two years of his term in office. He blew that off
2) Congress is gutless. If you offer them that you are willing to simply sign EO's their gutlessness kicks in and they will NEVER pass Legislation. Pressure is the only thing that gets the Congress off its gutless ass and working on Legislation.
3) Biden for his part presented a Legislative offering to the Congress and Senate within the first few days of taking office. Congress refused to take it up.
4) When Donnie ordered GOPer Senators to reject the Senate Supplemental Biden threw up his hands and signed an EO. Why? Because the Senate Supplemental was the last chance for Immigration legislation before his term of office would end.

So, President Trump failed to get legislation passed while he had Majorities in both Houses on the Hill. He then went on to order Senate GOPer's to shoot down the Senate Supplemental this year. This was a Bill that Senate GOPer's had actually negotiated and was the most heavy handed Immigration and Border Bill they could have ever hoped to pass.

GOPer's and most specifically Trump are not serious about dealing with Immigration preferring to run on it as opposed to improve on it. The whole Immigration issue since at least 2017-2018 has been performative art on the part of the GOP. They have been unserious about actually doing something about Immigration and the Border.

Yes, I led the discussion to pre-Trump, and you dive right into 'but Trump!'. 🤷‍♂️

The left instigated this ugliness, baseless accusations of bigotry, racism, etc. etc. etc. for years and years, and those being smeared have simply had enough, and are now, finally, pushing back and given the left a dose of their own medicine, and now the left whines about it.

This is one of the reasons why Trump's popularity escapes the left, as they feel completely justified in their ugliness and refuse to take any responsibility for even any part of it

Sorry, but no sympathy. The left is reaping the seeds they've sown, and sown for many years.

Maybe, with the passing of some time, perhaps pulling up the airplane from this nose dive will be possible. We'll have to see.
You obviously see a different world than the one that exists. It is unfortunate that the bigoted statements by Trump resonate with his supporters This tactic has been used by the right for long time before Trump. Does Willy Horton ring a bell?

"You obviously see a different world than the one that exists." would seem to apply.
I'd add a world that's invented for you by the Dem's MSM propaganda organs, and dressed up at what's supposed to be 'news'.

Round and around BS being shoveled. What's your thoughts on Willy Horton?
 
Trump is dancing and joking at his rallies, whereas Harris is becoming increasingly angry and unhinged.
So a dancing clown like Trump belongs in the WH? In what world.

Also I don't see an increasingly unhinged Harris. No idea where you are getting that from.

Trump did not deliberately invite “Newcomers” to cross our borders. I remember the “newcomers” wearing “Biden” t-shirts! They loved Biden!

Biden/Harris deliberately favored the “Newcomers” over the American Citizen Voters who voted them into office.

American Citizen Voters under the Biden/Harris administration are currently now second class citizens in comparison to The New First Class ~ “Newcomers” thanks to that administration who deliberately by invitation are now catering to their every need.
Which included transporting them into multiple States. Via Plane/Bus No identification needed.

When those “Newcomers” were on foot and crossing our border they were escorted as “Newcomers” over the now second class citizen voters.

Go Trump! Go MAGA! Go America & Each & Every One of Her Citizens/Voters are all First Class American Citizens. 🎺 🗳️ Go America 🇺🇸!!!

Those that were labeled as “Newcomers” should never have been deliberately made to be by any Presidential Administration second class in favor of any “Newcomers” invited to cross Our borders to the detriment of The American Citizenry.

The True “Newcomers” are those who go through a long process to actually become American Citizens. Legally.
They wait in line to become America Citizens legally through that process.

The current Biden/Harris newcomers cut the line thanks to the deliberate actions of that administration. Who cater to them over American Citizens.
Thus ~ Placing them in a second class position to their desired “Newcomer” classification over The American Citizens who voted them into The Presidential Office.
imho

Immigration happens.

This a true statement applicable to all of US politics, from all factions, corners, and sides of the political aisles, that would be it.

What's your thoughts on Willy Horton?
Why would a Detroit Tiger baseball player of old have any bearing on the topic?
This the 'Willy Horton' which immediately comes to mind.
 
While I think Trump has a really good chance at winning, I'm not sure it will be a landslide.

And frankly, I don't really care as long as Kamala is kept away from the White House.

She's pathetic as they come.

No, he's not.

This is faux drivel.

Faux lies. Faux admits they lie.
 
Where and when "unhinged" ?
I think this would qualify as such an instance:


Consider that the Al Smith dinner to which this video was addressed is largely comprised of those of Catholic and Jewish faiths.
This video is nothing more but a giant 'FU! In Your Face!' to the Catholics, clearly mocking them.

I think this would be Harris's 'deplorable moment' as well as 'unhinged'.
Is Harris really this out of touch to think that this was humorous in any stretch of any imagination?

Such mocking of religion, and Catholics in particular doesn't seem to be just Harris.



I suspect that it's a common 'feature' in the Democrat party, the liberals, and the progressives.

New lows set by the left.
 
"President Trump famously declared during his 2016 campaign that he loved the “poorly educated” because rural voters with lower levels of schooling delivered an overwhelming share of votes to him," the conservative Washington Times."
The Republican Party is sinking lower by the day. Neither the forum's Republicans nor Republican lawmakers will discuss and/or defend their Presidential candidate!

Lying has become a popular tactic for the GOP. They deny Trump meant what he said.

CNN reports, "Even by his haywire standards, Donald Trump’s latest rhetoric and behavior is erratic, autocratic and vulgar and hints at four years of unpredictable leadership that may lie ahead if he’s elected president in 15 days.

"As Trump cancels one-on-one interviews and piles up odd public appearances, Democrats are suggesting that he is “unstable” and showing cognitive decline, using the same critique he once used against President Joe Biden. The Harris campaign, for example, immediately highlighted the 78-year-old Trump saying on Sunday that he’s “not that close to 80” when calling for cognitive tests.

"The former president this weekend described Harris as a “shit” vice president, opened a rally with a rambling and explicit story about late golfing legend Arnold Palmer’s anatomy, and justified his previous threat to use the military on enemies “from within” even as House Speaker Mike Johnson insisted in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Trump meant nothing of the sort.

"Yet Trump’s years of trashing expectations of presidential behavior have seemed to offer him a kind of immunity from the ramifications of what would be career-ending actions for most other politicians. The twice-impeached, facing two criminal trials, once-convicted ex-president’s outlandish displays only underscore his anti-establishment authenticity for millions of Americans who adore him.

"With polls deadlocked, Trump’s behavior hasn’t yet disqualified him. And he consistently leads surveys when voters are asked who they most trust to manage high prices for housing and groceries and to handle immigration.

This disagreeable man may become our next President because the more qualified, the more professional Democratic candidate is a woman ... and black.

Don't like the immigration laws as they exist? Stop whining and work to change them.
Since I have knowledge of that Law. I have no problems with the current law. The problem is not me.
The problem is the Biden/Harris refused to use that law. They simply ignore it.
While in Office they also ignored the process they could have used to try & change those laws in their favor.
The question I have is why they did not try to use the process? Plus, why that burden has been placed on me ~ instead of Biden/Harris. They had the power.
They didn’t use that power.

I don’t whine. When I want change I use The First Amendment section ~“redress of grievances”. I don’t use protests. I go to the source.
Like I did many years ago. Went door to door concerning our problem.
Went to City Hall archives to read information concerning the problem. Used the information in two speeches.
Set up a date at City Hall for my speech & another speech. Notified The People who were interested in the problem of The Date. Asked them to attend.
After speeches I asked The People to Stand in agreement. They all stood. We were interviewed by our local newspaper. Long Story short. We won.

They did not ignore the process. The process is Legislation, not EO's. EO's in the context of Immigration and Border security are nothing more than unfunded Band-aids that can be struck down in the Courts or wiped away with a stroke of a pen by the next Chief Executive.

Further to the point EO's are like open pressure valves that allow the gutless Congress to do what they do best.....NOTHING. Congress only legislates when it is pressured either by public outcry or other means, politics to do so.

The very first thing Biden did at the start of his term was present a Legislative proposal on Immigration to THE HILL. They refused to take it up. Then this year Trump had the Senate shoot down the Senate Supplemental which was the toughest piece of legislation on Immigration and border security the GOPer's were ever going to be able to pass. Then and only then did Biden turn to an EO sure that he had no time left to try to get Legislation through THE HILL before his term ended.

You seem reluctant to use the term EO. Now Trump loves EO's because they allow him to take 100% of the credit even if it's for an unfunded EO which he then goes out and promotes as having actually done something. Sorry Donnie, unfunded EO's are not a solution to our Immigration and Border Security issues. They are simply temporary and unfunded and worse make it harder to actually address the issues.
They didn’t use that power.

You won what?

The problem is the current law which does not include funding for enough border agents, does not include funding for enough Immigration judges, does does not include funding for fentanyl detection and does not address the issue of Immigration holistically.

That you don't have a problem with that is on you.....not me.

Appropriations are attached to Legislation, not EO's.

Not surprising. Willie Horton was a not very concealed dog whistle used by Bush the First, to stoke racial divides.

Then race tensions eased and got better, and later still, under Obama, they got worse.
Up and down, up and down, but still, I'm pretty confident in saying that the over all trending line is up.

You are talking a long, long time ago. Like what? 30 some years ago?
If you are still carrying water for that, I don't know what to tell you.
I think it would be heathier to let it go, and be more worried about the here and now, frankly.

The Al Smith Dinner is supposed to feature low key good natured political jabs. I fail to see how any of this was an FU to Catholics. It came no where near deplorable or unhinged. Maybe go back and listen to the last minute of Harris's speech and try to twist that into unhinged. I think Trump insulting his opponents (Hillary, and now Kamala) in very strong terms is inappropriate, and using foul language throughout his speech was indeed an FU to his audience. But Trump's ill behavior is tolerated, and explained away.....always a new low, everyday a new low.

You are amusing.....First you complain I use Trump to illustrate racial divides because it's been going on so long because that is too recent. Then you complain my example from 30 years ago as too long ago.

I'm quite concerned about the here and now, frankly. Not being alive during the civil war, or during the years of Jim Crow Laws
The Trump Experience has been my worst experience of seeing racial issues exploited constantly by a person who has the support of lots of people.

The Biden/Harris did ignore the Legislation Process that is still currently in place.
The question that should be asked is….

Why did the Hill refuse to take up changing That particular Legislation Process that is still currently in place today.
The Hill does have that power. Correct? Why did they refuse?
I know about Presidents using EO’s. The Hill knows about EO’s being used by Presidents.
Why did The Hill refuse since they are knowledgeable about “Presidential” Executive Orders being used by multiple Presidents over many years?
I’m sure all of them on The Hill are quite knowledgeable concerning the downsides of EO’s. And yet they still refused to use their power. The question is why?

Very Interesting ~ that some think Trump has some kind of power over The Full Hill concerning their Legislation Power concerning a very important legislative need
which will Benefit Our Country? The question remains why their continual refusal?

Our City Hall Representatives changed their mind concerning the problem we were having when they took something away from us and then gave it back to us.
We won.
