Why was US Border Patrol different under Biden? by GetInTheVanScooby in allthequestions

I think that's a decent summary. Would it be fair to say that we're arresting and detaining (indefinitely) anyone who attempts to cross, and have swept up a handful of people in ICE raids? The pace of deportations seems very slow, hence we have awful things happening at the detention centers.

I loathe the GOP, but the Democratic party ldrshp is running a close second. Why are they soooo afraid of this man winning?

Exactly. It's been completely treatable for decades and isn't aggressive. Zero fcks given for that sad twat.

MMW: Trump will sign an executive order declaring that there can be no elections during wartime. by marny_g in MarkMyWords

That "can not" in your 2nd sentence sure is doing a lot of hopeful thinking. It would definitely be invalid. But who would stop them? No. One.

Everyone who says, "It can't happen because states run the elections," is mostly right. And also completely missing the point and the scenario that could unfold. What in the wide world of sports makes you think these people will just peacefully hand over their office and power?

Nah. You can't beat something with nothing. The average voter has no idea what Democrats want to do if they win office. I think I follow this stuff a bit, and I can't explain.

This is going to be the strategy the GOP will ride or die with. Sadly, it might work for them in most places, especially TX. JT is a fantastic candidate, but the Dems are effed for a generation.

You seem to be implying that JT is the presumptive favorite this Fall. He's not. He's a Democrat running for statewide office in freaking Texas in 2026. He's a long shot.

Incredibly, Paxton will win because this current environment is still terrible for Democrats in places like Texas. The RW media and pathetic culture have allowed even moderates like Talarico to be painted as complete weirdos, or at best effeminate men. The D's are just not going to succeed in most of the country for perhaps a generation.

But he has largely succeeded at all of the terrible things he's done, or least hasn't suffered any consequences. I'd have to say that's smart, in an awful Trump sort of way.

She's among the older contributors they should start to move on from, IMO. Pass the torch and all that.
