Delighted speaking about a terrorist attack ! Insane

[@SwampFox11]

I don't find any humor in your sarcasm.

​@@SwampFox11why would anyone care?

[@SwampFox11]

Why don’t we have military along our both borders , like almost every other country does ?

[@littlefluffybushbaby7256]

Think it through. How many people would that take? You'd probably need conscription. How much would it cost? You'd need a substancial tax hike. A lot of military spending is on aircraft, missiles, aircraft carriers, etc. Is that the best equipment to prevent people crossing borders? The military are rarely good at policing. It's not what they are trained for. Most other countries don't have huge military presence on their borders. Where that is true is in areas where invasion or conflict is likely. Despite how it may seem from watching the news most places are not in that position. News covers annomalies not normalcies. Who wants to know nothing happened today and mostly people just got on with their lives?

[@damaddog8065]

And the Biden regime CLOWN show continues.

[@Tropicanochka]

😂

[@davidkeeton215]

I suggest a thought experiment. Imagine that a loosely affiliated group of wealthy and power-hungry men finds it cost effective to spend a portion of their income to support propaganda aimed at keeping their taxes and regulations low by convincing gullible voters to support candidates who will do their bidding. Imagine that this is true and ask yourself which of our major political parties is most likely to fit the bill? Then consider the types of words and actions which could qualify as clownish or absurd and ask yourself which of the two men running for president have shown such behavior, how often and to what degree? Consider all relevant factors such as cognitive difficulties, job turnover rates, good or bad reviews of their leadership skills by former cabinet members and employees, likely number and seriousness of false statements, denigration of military veterans and their families, instances of nepotism, attempts to change the outcome of elections, disregard or disdain for rules intended to prevent Presidents from profiting from their position, expressions of admiration for dictators, number and severity of scandals supported by evidence as well as indictments from federal, state and local levels. Which administration more closely fits the word "regime"? And "CLOWN show"? Thanks.

[@rksocal2828]

Alejandro Mayorkas (current head of Homeland security in the Biden admin) is the man in charge of the border, before taking that position he was on the board of an NGO named HIAS (Hebrew immigrant aid society). HIAS has been building roads & pitstops to make it easier for migrants to travel to the border, assisting migrants across the Darien gap from South America, and giving them instructions on what to say/do at the border. So basically the guy responsible for protecting our border came directly from the NGO that is responsible for flooding our border with migrants in the first place. And to make it even worse this group HIAS has been receiving US taxpayer funding to do all this. None of this was by accident, Open borders and a migrant invasion has been his plan from day one.....

I'm writing you today brothers and sisters because I care about you and where you spend eternity. With so many lies going around about what you must do to be saved, I wanted to share the truth about Gods word with you and maybe give you a better perspective on the Gospel (Good news) well the bible says it is appointed to man to die once and then the judgment " yes there is going to be a judgment you see God is a holy God and in him is no darkness at all..the bible says we have violated Gods law (ten commandments) and are guilty of Hell and seperation from God for eternity this originally began in the garden of eden. Heres the Good news though, God loved you enough to send his only son into the world in the flesh to be crucified for our sins..yes that's right christ was sinless and bore our sins in his body, because without the shedding of blood there could be no remission of sin. So he was crucified on our behalf he was dead 3 days and then rose from the dead, victorious having defeated death, and now is seated at the right hand of God interceding on the behalf of the beilever. So that whoever repents of their sins and puts their faith and trust in Jesus christ as lord and savior, will be saved from the judgment of hell and will have everlasting life with God for eternity. Love u. Blessings my freinds the time is at hand;)
