It must be difficult, if not frustrating, to juggle multiple languages. Am I correct in thinking that kids learn English quickly, faster than adults?

My translation app is a Godsend. I translate for one and he/she teaches the rest.

On the English side, I have students who complain I am not teaching while they come late to class and spend the class time on their phones.

I guess we already forgot Mr. Biden actually tried to put Mr. Trump in jail...

Mr. Biden did no such thing. Trump was indicted for actions he took. He was found guilty of 34 counts of felony. Biden had nothing at all to do with that case or any other legal trouble that Trump got himself into.

There was German language newspaper in my home town until WWI when they figured they better end it since the US was fighting the Germans.

I heard that’s why Lawrence Welk had an accent. He spoke German when he was young.

Firstly, wasn't talking to you, no point, you've intentionally blocked your mind from factual information, this is clear from everything you post.

Secondly, your very reply proves my point. I know you can't understand this (can't confess to the understanding), but I don't believe you either. It's bluster cuz you like to think yourself a winner. No one is losing their mind here, just stating the facts and taking in the spectacle. Wimps and sissies like Trump and his true believers are entertaining to watch pretend to be tough is most of it...

We nearly always disagree due to being on the opposite side of most issues, but I have noticed every once in a while, I find myself in 100% agreement with you. I can't remember the topic, but I think it even happened another time quite recently (like in the last couple weeks).

I am not a die hard democrat. I truly hate both parties. I list my political leaning as an independant because that's the safestest place to be right now. What I can absolutley say is I HATE f***ing donald trump and everything he is and stands for, and I'm not fond of the democratic party either until they take a stand...I voted republican until the Clinton years, but never since. .I think there are many me's here. :unsure:

This will, admittedly, be a short OP, because I can't. I don't see a distinction. But, perhaps someone can make a legitimate distinction that is, as yet, undiscernable. I think, to be a participant in society, it is vitally necessary. I'm not optimistic.

You're not wrong. They full on embrace fascism.

The lib knows that. He is just shit talking.


Deporting illegals is not stirring up hatred against them, or blaming them for all our problems.


They are a cause of some problems. To deny that is dumb.
Click to expand...

The hate was stirred up to stir up emotions and support for deportations and voters for Trump. That is why Trump characterized illegal immigrants as dangerous criminals. It will not happen because the point was to stir up hate, not to actually deport any more than us usual. It is all for show.

Republicans have a huge advantage due to the electoral college. Their voters are spread out, Democrats are very concentrated. Moreover, their voters are more loyal.

You're very right about some things like the electoral college, yet another thumb on the scales against Democrats.

Finally, the country is a center right country. Candidates like AOC cannot win outside of a D+30 district. There isn't a single hardcore left congressman in a competitive district.
Click to expand...

That's wrong way to think about it. Would a center right country elect FDR four times? You're mistaking the effect of the corruption of money and our oligarchy as 'the country'. Did LBJ win the largest victory in history at the time with the most progressive policies in history arguably outside FDR? Moderates are one of the biggest enemies of good governance, because of how they misunderstand these politics.

That's not what happened. Clyburn saw the potential problems we were having in the primaries. He stood up for Biden and threw SC to Biden. That determined the remainder of the primary process in a free and fair Democratic election.

What I said is what happened, and Clyburn was another important part of the story and the 'party cabal'.

RedFishBlueFish said:
You can argue that Clyburn was working in connection with Obama, or the DNC or whatever. The fact is that Clyburn threw that primary to Biden. There was nothing wrong in him coming out and endorsing Biden. Politicians do that, you know. Endorse other candidates.

Good, because he was. You're completely ignoring the issue of the corporatism and corruption to say 'that's fine and normal'.

All the MAGA bumpkins are already salivating over this.

But here's the thing....if the U.S. wrecks Columbia's economy, hundreds of thousands of Columbians will be illegally crossing the U.S. border to try to escape their misery.

This has already happened with the U.S. sanctions on Venezuela....a major reason for the surge in illegal border crossings in recent years.

THIS RIGHT HERE!!!

I have a friend who likes Trump, got mad cuz he thinks I called him stupid. Trump is stupid, his followers are mostly duped by not doing their homework. Some have intelligence, they just turn it off, wanting to believe in Trump, he's convinced them he hates who they hate, and he sold them the hatred.

Some "true believer" Trumpists have real intellect, just where Trump and politics are concerned, they developed a psychosis, that's what it is. An actual psychosis, not stupidity.

I know you're trying to convince someone, but it isn't me or any of the opposition, I know that much. Good luck with that, no doubt you will need that, and a lot of foolery...
 
Here is the truth....Trump is purposely treating these people like animals for no reason. --

Washington and Bogotá have for years had a bilateral agreement allowing for regular deportation flights that have, until now, gone to Colombia at the rate of at least twice a week without problems.

Under the agreement, the United States sends Colombia a manifest 48 hours in advance of the flights with the names of the deportees, and Colombia provides authorization before the planes take off. That happened in this case, according to a Colombian official who spoke on the condition of anonymity about the sensitive issue, and Bogotá agreed to accept the flight.

It was unclear whether or when Petro was made aware that, for the first time, the planes being used were U.S. military C-17s, although video of shackled deportees being marched onto military aircraft was widely televised and posted on social media.

 
That's right. Someone has got to pay for those gigantic tax cuts Trump wants to give to the billionaires so it might as well be ordinary people like you and me trying to build a nest egg via buying a home so the home can build equity. The cruelty, greed and heartlessness of the Trump minions seems to have no bottom. No program that helps the little guys is off limits to these greedy bast*rds.

Well, MAGAs we tried to warn you what you were voting for and now your chickens are coming home to roost. You F**k Around, You Find Out, right? (FAFO)

"According to the document, some ideas for funding those tax breaks include eliminating the mortgage home deduction, a popular break for homeowners..."

Paying for Trump's tax cuts could lead to big changes for taxpayers. Here's what could be in store.

Republican lawmakers are floating a range of ideas to pay for an extension of President Trump's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
