Trump says stupid things.
They do not affect my life.
You clueless, utterly ignorant Dems want open borders, higher taxes, the elimination of Christian values and more wars.
All of which directly affects my life.
Easy choice .
What Dems are for open borders? Why has Biden deported over 4 million migrants if that's the case? Why did Trump kill the bipartisian border deal negotiated by a Republican Senator?
Where do you live that an illegal immigrant has affected your life besides lower prices?
What wars do we have soldiers fighting in?
How does deporting 20 million mostly Christian migrants make the country more Christian?
How did Trump lying about Covid not affect your life? Telling us that Covid wasn't in America?
Trump increasing the deficit doesn't affect your life?
Trump adding more tariffs won't increase the prices of groceries?
A few things...
1) Border crossings have more than doubled since Biden took office. Doubled. This is due in large part to the reversal of several Trump policies regarding border crossings that were considered inhumane. In essence, Joe took away the impediments to crossing the border illegally. In fact, it's gotten so bad in the border towns that even Democrats are condemning Biden's "open border" policies.
https://www.texastribune.org/2024/01/18/colin-allred-biden-border-roland-gutierrez/2) Anyone that lives in South Texas, near the border, can tell you that towns are being overrun. My uncle lives in Val Verde, and the crime has skyrocketed. He has had numerous trespassers on his land, and a few break ins - one into his barn, and the other his truck. I tried a case down in Harlingen a few weeks ago, and parts of it look like a third world country. It was a marked change since I was there 5 years ago. And these towns are begging for federal support just to process and house the illegals. The facilities aren't capable of housing the number of illegals crossing the border. Your idea that this is not affecting our country negatively is truly remarkable.
3) As for wars, the poster you're responding to didn't say we had soldiers fighting in wars. Perhaps you need to read a little more carefully. I suspect, what he is suggesting, is that the world is a much more dangerous place since Biden took office. And that is indisputable fact. We are indeed fighting a proxy war in Russia, committing billions of dollars in money and equipment to their war effort. There has even been the suggestion of some sort of commitment to troops on the ground, though thankfully, even Biden hasn't crossed that bridge yet. But we are indeed in a proxy war with a nuclear power.
As I suggested on another thread, China is much more bellicose, flexing its muscles in the South China Sea, and even flying sorties with Russian planes within just miles of Alaska. The rhetoric regarding Taiwan has worsened.
Iran decided to flip Biden the bird when he undid all of the sanctions Trump had imposed in the hope of bringing them to the table on a nuclear deal. Instead, they saw it as a sign of weakness, and are creating havoc all across the ME. The massacre in Israel was a direct result of their efforts. Iran had been largely contained and marginalized during the Trump admin, and now it's flexing its muscles throughout the ME. And why wouldn't it, when there will be no repercussions.
Obama once said that Biden has never been right on foreign policy, and boy was he right. I mean, this is the dude that went against every commander in his sudden troop withdrawal in Aghanistan, resulting in a Fall of Saigon moment there, with American solders and innocent civilians killed. Here is a guy that voted against the operation to take out Osama. Not even a hyper-partisan Biden supporter can dispute that the world has become a much more dangerous place the last 4 years, regardless of whether American troops are fighting on the ground. That said, if Harris is elected, give it time...
As I said above, I am no Trump fan, and his presidency, even from a policy standpoint, was a very mixed bag. But Biden has been a total ****ing disaster. Everything he's touched has turned to *****
