The border "issue" wont ever be solved. They blame Biden for it. Dems, centrists, and libertarians want it open and get people into the workforce, and Republicans want them deported because it just means every minority in the country is a blue vote. There wont ever be a solution for it.

Republicans also want the workforce, as long as they are a underclass. The undocumented migration “problem” could be “solved” tomorrow with meaningful enforcement on employers. This would also immediately upend several critical sectors of the economy.

When you're looking at minorities as a whole, it absolutely is. Democrats are the party of minorities, they always have been since the civil rights act.

The best case scenario for Republicans "repealing and replacing" Obamacare as far as optics are concerned would be if they somehow just took the whole thing as-is and just shuffle some inconsequential thing around, barely even touch it, and then go full blitz on right-wing media claiming they've completely overhauled it and now it's the most bigly system in the world. Not saying that'd be good for everyone else, but that's all the Republicans would have because there isn't any fix for American healthcare that doesn't push our system much further left. There's really no in-between from what we had before the ACA. Republicans have absolutely nothing for healthcare reform and never will.

That's basically what they already did. They removed the individual mandate and gave up.

Trump probably whispered that she should object because it makes the president (TRUMP) look bad

remember, she isn't good at lawyering and she isn't trying to be a good lawyer she's auditioning for Trump and doing exactly what Trump says which will ultimately make her an embarassing loser, which Trump will reject. much like his children

Why has the amount of border crossings increased so much.

I guess I don't have a high awareness if the political situations in central and south America but are there humanitarian crises leading to more refugees? Is it economically really bad right now?

Because just in general this seems like a period in time where people would least want to be in the USA, it sucks here right now especially for immigrants.

Is it just we are employing far more jackbooted thugs, or have blocked the border into choke points so the amount of immigration is not substantially different but the rate of encounters is a lot higher?

Didn’t want to let this just go. I’m on a phone right now, but the ringer put up a transcript segment from a podcast about this. I think it’s worth a listen based on the brief blip.

Doctor: Well that seems serious. Maybe you should cheer yourself up! I know a man who supposedly has a lot of money that he can loan to you. Might I suggest going to see Donald Trump?

I always kind of wondered if we could trick chuds into helping the planet and society by telling them that solar panels are only allowed to be installed on houses that have men with 7 inch or longer dicks. Hybrids are only sold to cisgendered men if they can bench press more than 250 lbs. The AR-15 is only available for sale if your doctor identifies that you have low testosterone and your balls are shriveled and unusable.

You don't actually test for these things, you just say it and let them figure it out.

I think it would work.

For example, there's a commerical on now for "Patriot Power" or some such, which is a solar powered generator to use for camping or when the power is out.... or when society collapses cuz of the LIBS.

Just put the word "Patriot" or "Freedom" in the title, or hell, if you really want the demographic, brand it with TRUMP. TRUMP BRAND SOLAR PANELS!!

I appreciate your patience, this is a tricky maneuver

Not the biggest crisis on Earth but it's embarrassing that we're still applying social distancing criteria in TYOOL 2024, after it has been well established that COVID isn't limited to the kind of droplet transmission that social distancing is designed to mitigate. It certainly can't hurt, but the core issue for transmission is going to be the ventilation in the room if they are going to be seated there for a while and staying 6 feet apart is more of a performative gesture.
