Growth for the sake of growth is stupid and lowers all our standard of living, but they can’t grasp simple concepts. Got to virtue signal to pretend to be moral.
The virtue signalling thing is sooooo true.

Just look at the massive NIMBYism we saw at Martha's Vineyard recently.

50, just 50 migrates show up, they call out the national guard and those people are removed in just two days.

Meanwhile in El Paso you've got illegals sleeping on the streets because they are so full up. What about the 8k plus camped out under that bridge a while back.

Rich people can talk all the talk, but man, the minute a bunch of brown folks show up, without gardening equipment, holly dog crap the world has been turned on it's ear.

Yeah, there are scenes like that all over the country.

It's really crazy. People need to start to pay much more attention to their local DAs. Got to vote these clowns like Gascon and Kim Foxx out of office.

You've got guys like Soros and his many foundations installing these DAs across the country. I'm not sure if Soros is really a guy who thinks our criminal system is bad or if he's intentionally trying to hurt people. He has to know that these guys revolve in and out of the system and go out and recommit more crime, very often violent crime.

I'm starting to think that Soros is a full blown sociopath.

That rule doesn't change just because you think humans are special. They are not. They are another biological organism and the same rules of science apply.

And if you want people to believe in your elections, stop behaving like you are guilty of stealing elections by going after people who dare question the results. There have always been people questioning elections since elections were a thing. Get used to it. It's not going to change because of your sensitive snowflake feelings.


Teddy Roosevelt was a populist and a great president. Nobody cares what a bunch of butt hurt lefties think about populism and the desire to build a strong, prosperous and wealthy nation.
Because it is an ideologically driven narrative they want to drive home.
Note how the OP said the questioning of the 2020 election results, yet no mention of Hillary claiming the election was stolen from her in 2016, or Stacy Abrams who considers herself the governor in GA, despite losing.
I have an apolitical friend who rarely reads the news, but he's never even heard about Hillary's or Abrams claims, because it is never mentioned on social media.

I don't care where people come from. All I care about is that they are treated like human beings, and that they eventually adapt, just like I did. Eventually they all do.
I don't care where they are from "legally" either but I do object to them being here "illegally". That seems to be a concept that you don't grasp!

Illegal immigration is totally unacceptable but you don't care about that either!

Economists? They have a vested interest in profit and money and nothing else matters to them!
Illegal immigration isn't the only kind of immigration policymakers need to concern themselves with. The pro-immigration people have spent the last 30 years handing out immigration visas like candy all over Eastern Europe and parts of Inner Asia, gloating over "winning" the Cold War. This has resulted in all kinds of criminal riff-raff getting an easy pass.

And then there's the whole issue of rescuing Afghans from themselves, us mopping up after another unsuccesfull war, along with Syrians, and other beleaguered populations. One Syrian family interviewed for a news feature said, they don't even want to be here. It all happened so fast, they weren't even sure how they ended up in North America. All they wanted was to get back to herding their sheep in the mountains. These are people who are going to have massive culture shock.

Refugee seekers are not in country illegally, unless their claim was not accepted. You seem to miss that concept, as you continually rail against refugees, saying their claims are false. Let the courts decide that, not you.

Where did I say that they were illegals? However, statistically 80% of them are making bogus asylum claims and that is a fact so that makes them liars and undesirables in our country. When did I say that all asylum seekers are bogus? Reading comprehension problem?

Based on that high percentage of bogus claims they all should be made to wait outside our country until their claims are verified. What happened to the rule that one must take up refuge in the first safe country they pass through that offers it?

That "rule" ONLY applies to an agreement between Canada and the USA. That's it. Nowhere else does such a "rule" exist.

You have been told this many times. Why do you keep pretending it exists?
