For those who haven't been paying attention: there is a tactic of modern progressives that most people don't know about. 1. Create a problem 2. When confronted, claim - _with valuable emotions_ - that not only is there no problem, but pointing it out makes you bigoted towards those involved in said problem. 3. Just after voters all acknowledge that there is some kind of problem, claim you have the solution - making you look like you're accomplishing something. This has been used on EVERY issue in politics. Until you recognize this first, we will sink to a depth we cannot come out of. It's alarmingly just that simple.

More like, when they turn themselves in they get Free food, clothing, medical care and shelter. Our military veterans sit out on the streets in piles of garbage while the people in Social Services drive right by them transporting illegal immigrant families to hotels or, in the case of California, to a cruise ship to house them. The largest number of homeless vets are women who are living with children in their cars or couch surfing because, if they go to Social Services, they risk having their children taken from them.

[@07slowbalt]

@@FOAB-Carlos i would explain why you have a smooth brain but you wouldnt understand it. The withdrawal from Afghanistan was rushed thanks to Trumps fictitious date that never could've logistically happened. Oh and by the way he released 10,000 terrorist with nothing in return for them. Talk about an orange man with a peanut brain. The president simply declares a date, military leaders make it happen. Thanks to trumps deranged last second withdrawal and the middle east knowing it was coming, the afghans gave up their country back to the taliban basically overnight. Without military contracts for civilians they were left without a job and thats why the country and all that equipment was left behind genius. But sure keep blaming Biden when you have absolutely Zero clue what your talking about. Want to talk about smooth brain presidents. How bout Trump that added 25% of the total national debt in 4 years and then pretend like the debt isnt his and all bidens. How about how Trump took over a BOOMING economy with a record setting 27 months of straight job growth and GDP. But sure Trumps "tax cuts" created that right? Lets bend over to the man that walks up Air Force one with TP stuck to his shoe, cant figure out how to close an umbrella, uses 2 hands to drink a tiny bottle of water, doesnt shake the marines hands when getting on a plane, criticized a war hero, made fun of the disabled, threw out a woman and her crying baby, and most importantly was abandoned by all of our NATO members and was left alone to literally be laughed at for the world to see. But hey smooth brain im sure none of that makes sense to you.

When arguing with anyone on the left about border policy it’s best to skip to the end and simply ask them: “Do you believe the United States and Mexico are two separate countries and as such a border exists between them and it is illegal for a person to simply walk across that border unchecked and enter the other country?” You’d be shocked how hard of a time they have answering that one.

[@johnmacaroni105]

Exactly, and ask them why Communists want open borders just like the Financier Bankers who at Bretton Woods conference 1944 decided that the future world would be No Borders for Goods and People and repeated by Financier Banker James Paul Warburg whose speech at a American Congressional Committee meeting said that there *Will* be a world government if people like it or Not...... It's remarkable that Communists agree with and are helping Financier Banker Elitists Establishment with this plan of creating a new world mapped out by an handful of Elitists Financiers Bankers .... Working hand in glove.. What a scam on the nations of the world.

I have been watching livestreamers at the gaps in the walls in El Paso and Yuma, several nights a week from midnight until 6 am ( I'm a retired night owl) These livestreamers are US citizen journalists who are well known by BP. They speak Spanish and interpret for us. Bottom line...these are NOT Mexicans crossing!!! Here a list of countries represented in the last three nights: Jamaica, India, Ghana, Nepal, Peru, Columbia, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Georgia, Brazil, Venezuela, Azerbiczan, Vietnam, CHINA, Cameroon, Bolivia, New Zealand, Turkey, Senegal, Ecuador, Moritania, El Salvador, SYRIA, PAKISTAN, Lebanon, New Ginnae, Moldova, Paraguay and EGYPT!!!! There ya go folks!! Are they coming to pick our crops???Bwaaahahaha Bwaaahahaha Bwaaahahaha !!! Anthony and Joe ask them what their destination is. Uhhh, do they pick crops in Chicago, NYC, Maryland, Massachusetts, Alaska, Virginia??? These are not poor field workers wearing NIKE, Addis, expensive jeans, gold chains, expensive watches, expensive I Phones. They look like tourists in New Youk!!! It cost some of them $7- $11,000 to get here to our border by plane, busses and even private Uber drivers!!! Mainstream media isn't down there where Anthony & Joe are livestreaming. Biden & Mayorkas don't want you to see this....the truth. There are very FEW families. It's 90% single men ages 17-to 35!!! Military age!!! They are coming in 7 nights a week by the 100's at these gaps in the walls. BP is overwhelmed processing them. They come with printed color brochures marking all of the NGO's locations along the way to rest, sleep and get food!!! NGO's are providing busses too ( Catholic Charities and Red Cross to mention a few)! So there you go. Search KZbin. You'll find their channels. Watch for a few hours. You won't believe your eyes!!!
