Elon has been getting Twitter idiots fired up about undocumented immigrants all day.

He might have a slightly larger reach than chainsaw.

Why is it that successful foreigners who benefit so mightily from the American political and economic system seem to hate others who try to get the same bite at the apple?

Nativist poors or disaffected whites I can kind of understand. Don’t agree. But I can at least sort of get their beef.

Rupert Murdoch or Elon Musk try to parade as champions of America yet they fail to truly understand what it’s truly about. America isn’t so much a place, an economy, or a single people. It’s more than the sum of its parts. It never lives up to its promise, yet remains an example. It’s repressive and liberating. It’s an idea and a place. It has no one ethnic identity but is made of a single people.

Once when they get that, can they start telling us what Americans should know or think.

Walz's quote was awesome. "I always said if they want to build a 20 foot wall someone will start selling 30 foot ladders."

Nitpick, but I think the quote was "If they build a 20 foot wall I'll invest in a company that sells 25 foot ladders." The point I took was him saying a stupid wall will never solve the problem, not that he wanted to actively encourage more people to cross the border illegally (which is what your telling of the quote comes across as to me)/.

People, immigrants or not, already get free healthcare…it’s called the Emergency Department.  

It’s extremely expensive, incredibly inefficient, takes emergency resources away from the community, and often people go only once they’re in dire straits….they could have a daytime job, they’re doing all right…but without access to preventative care or substance abuse support, previously-addressable things spiral into shit like cardiac arrest.  

Insanity to mock a system that seems to work well in seemingly every other developed country.

I saw someone say during the French 2-round elections that the first time you vote with your heart, the second time you vote with your brain. This is presumably what the primary system in America is supposed to be: vote for your ideological sweet heart during the primary, then get pragmatic and vote against what you definitely don't want in the general election.

Well, nobody wants to run against Kamala. She's won the hearts of the democrats. So all that's left is to vote pragmatically. @chainsaw doesn't get this. This is the general election, you have to be general in your stances. Cast as wide a net as possible. Now is not the time to narrow your vision. Because the alternative is the exact opposite of what you or the majority of the people in this country wants. Wanting a narrow vote in the general election is how you get Trumpism, because there are a lot more weirdos who will vote for trump on principle than will vote for whatever darling leftwing single-issue stance you have.

Pretty sure you should use your brain both times.

The bill was hardly a compromise. It was always intended by Biden to be a bluff.

How can you argue so strongly while having absolutely not even a basic understanding of what you're talking about? Seriously. I mean there's a lot of them, so I just picked this post. Because holy shit. Did you just start thinking about politics for the first time within the past week or so?

Cosplaying as Kamala's senior campaign advisors sure is fun.
We may need costumes if we ever meet up.

Dibs on GOLL’s Pedobear costume. I have a plan for it. Gonna make a few tweaks to make it a Racist Care Bear outfit…
What time/day is the Jagoffs for Harris call?

This is actually it. 

Perfection.
@chainsaw is killing my independent buzz.

SO LONG AS YOU’RE NOT KILLING INDEPENDENT GEORGE!

Dang Pete sounded like a 13 year old in college. We all know he is super smart but it’s also clear he’s a legit policy wonk. I’m not sure about the electoral math or VP this time but he is the future of the Dems.

BREAKING: TIm Walz continues to do Tim Walz things

 

Reminds me of when Triumph the Insult Comic Dog worked the window at the Weiner’s Circle in Chicago.  Walz and his pup would be perfect for this.  
 

Hey Vance, that’s a really nice sofa…….for me to poop on.  Here’s your order JD, half bratwurst and half hot dog on one bun. Take it to that corner booth and explain to it that it’s wrong.  And no weirdo, we don’t have diet Mountain Dew here.  Can you please order for your wife since a true woman needs a man to make tough decisions for, you bearded thumb, creepy ass mother fucker.  You want some ketchup to go to suck off the orange guy’s balls?  I kid, I kid.  Piss off

Not really true. They picked up seats in the midterms. It wasn't the night they wanted but it sure as fuck wasn't a rejection. 

/NotAMod Opinion Also chainsaw, dude you gotta quit being such a dickhead. You aren't wrong, which is why you are frustrated. The problem isn't about being right though the problem is keeping Donald Trump out of office because he's a psychotic megalomaniac who has bad intentions and will do irreparable harm to the country. 

In a normal election where the candidate just isn't what you prefer your takes are totally valid. /NotAMod Opinion

Beecause Trump doesn't give a shit about anything but himself.

His wives are the only reason his kids even survived.

Lol just heard my MAGA landlord (I know I know but I’d pay rent to Hitler for $1900/mo dog allowed in Maui post fire) getting out of the car bitching to his wife about Kamala claiming Indian on her college scholarship applications. like that makes any fucking sense. They scared.
