Engage that. The US has almost full employment now. Trump wants to kick the door down to US dairy exports to Canada on the grounds that we compete unfairly. What a joke. I would have had trouble believing that if the study hadn't been commissioned by the US dairy industry itself. You will believe whatever comes out of Trump's ass.

Israel Bombs Iran
gatomontes99 replied to gatomontes99's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Quit making assumptions that I don't know the politics of Iran. I get that terrorists are in charge of the country. But the fact that they are terrorists doesn't negate the fact that they run the country. Until that isn't true, Iran and the Islamic Republic are one and the same. You cannot separate them. -
So... you are happy with the current regime and want them to stay in power?

Speaking of truth, are you ever going to apologize and own up to your outright blatant lies yesterday? Also, being here ILLEGALLY is a crime, so saying they are not criminals is not true. If you are itching to engage, feel free to come back to any of the many numerous comments and questions you have run away from earlier this week.

Israel Bombs Iran
CITIZEN_2015 replied to gatomontes99's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
That was a coup by mullahs. They created a hell for the nation of Iran since. They took this nation hostage and stole their resources and spent them on Iran's historic enemies (Arabs). The real regime change will take place by the nation of Iran now. Once the regime is weakened by bombardments and its leaders killed and the guards destroyed then the fed up people will pour into streets and take over. A fee election will be held and at this time Prince Reza Pahlavi, the son of his imperial majesty (the Shah of Irab, God bless his soul) will likely win by a large majority. The sons and daughters of those who took part in 1979 coup have been cursing their parents for such action for decades and they have read or remember the golden years during the Pahlavi dynasty when Iran was free and powerful and the nation prosperous enjoying total social freedom (all kinds of freedoms except political freedom) - Today

No meltdown when only facts are presented to you...except for you that have a meltdown every time facts smack you in the face LOL You just hate the facts Eh LOL Fact is conservatives lost the last 4 elections and even their leader lost his seat. Trudeau quit...it is over,.... time for you to get over him too LOL Yup...he did not run...he knew when it was over...not like PP who clings on LOL Fact is, they may have hated Trudeau but the liberals knew when it was time for someone new and got him and he won. The conservatives are going to stick with a LOSER LOL LOL and there you go Even before the elections Canadians deemed Carney and the Liberals better for Canada than PP and the conservatives https://www.ipsos.com/en-ca/carney-seen-best-leader-represent-canada-navigate-tough-economic-times After the election https://abacusdata.ca/abacus-data-poll-optimism-direction-of-country-canada/ Carney and the Liberals win...each time.

All in my opinion, but for what it's worth: HAMAS is a reflection of the strong emotions / strong desires of many in Gaza... they want to see Israel annihilated. It's an ideology that manages to survive even in the face of striking evidence that it's a bad idea and that better options exist. Palestinians can actually have peace anytime they want it, they've even come close on occasion but so far no cigar. That sort of ideology (at a very low level) is on display here on the forum IMO. People will defend the indefensible if otherwise indefensible actions come from a party they are ideologically connected to. Use of slogans is almost always front and centre in that effort... here it takes a patently silly LMAO, duh, FFS and down vote form but it's somewhat comparable at a low level. Human nature perhaps, but a difficult thing to sway whatever the cause. That said, at the same time there's the fact that many don't like the heavy handed intrusive nature of HAMAS in their daily lives but they support them nonetheless because their ideology is a reflection of a popular objective and there is the absence of other alternatives. The other side of the intrusiveness coin (from the HAMAS perspective) is that stoking a high level of sustained hatred (and thus loyalty to the regime) is a full-time job and thirsty work. Thus the effort infects many aspects of daily life in Gaza. I think it's far more apparent now than previously, and largely as a result of those efforts. The effect of school indoctrination (as an example) shouldn't be underestimated. A weak analogy of the "why factor" may be something along the lines of liberal minded people who truly despised JT, voting liberal regardless because they didn't see, or refused to accept another option. They become so committed and invested in the ideology itself that admitting they were wrong becomes impossible. Some here will defend COVID mandates regardless of what we learn about the harms it created in the future. It's a similar but far more intense thing in Gaza and I'm not sure how that bubble gets penetrated. In the end (and IMO again), it means that If HAMAS is defeated and ceases to exist as a functioning entity, what replaces HAMAS is of real concern, there are plenty of bad actors willing to step up and there is always a danger of the replacement being something worse. BTW, that's an opinion and not an argument. I don't plan to defend it or hurl insults at those who disagree. Take it for what it's worth...

Well the good news is Russia is an absolutely no position to step in and help Iran and china simply won't, so I'm sure they'll think twice about a full-on war with the US backed Israel with Donald Trump in power. I don't think iran is in much of a position militarily to go toe to toe. I'm sure they'll retaliate but we'll see how well that works for them.

2024 Election Results Under Scrutiny as Lawsuit Advances - Newsweek Well here we go. After 4 years of democrats screaming to the High Heavens how absolutely horrible it was for trump to question the validity of the election and how childish and conspiratorial it was to question the integrity of the voting machines because there's no possible way anybody could have messed with them, The democrats are now completely 100% reversing their position and their proxy organization is launching a lawsuit which alleges that everything that the democrats said was impossible actually happened and the election was stolen If they didn't have dishonestly they'd have no honesty.

This information is presented for those who want to know the truth about undocumented migrants in the U.S. They are for the most part not criminals as the orange man and MAGA people would have you believe. There are many liars and deceived fools on these forums who could care less about facts and truth. We see their endless comments proving their own ignorance about what is really happening. The U.S. has a system which has evolved over the years and in the system, it is very difficult to acquire citizenship or even a green card or work VISA, especially if you are one of the millions who in desperation came to the U.S. to try find a job and help your family survive or escape criminal gangs and crime. " A snapshot of who they are Pew Research Center estimates that about 11.3 million people are currently living in the U.S. without authorization, down from a peak of 12.2 million in 2007. More than half come from Mexico, and about 15 percent come from other parts Latin America. Get the dataChart: The Conversation, CC-BY-ND Source: Pew Research Center About 8 million of them have jobs, making up 5 percent of the U.S. workforce, figures that have remained more or less steady for the past decade. Geographically, these unauthorized workers are spread throughout the U.S. but are unsurprisingly most concentrated in border states like California and Texas, where they make up about 9 percent of both states' workforces, while in Nevada, their share is over 10 percent. Get the dataMap: The Conversation, CC-BY-ND Source: Pew Research Center Their representation in particular industries is even more pronounced, and the Department of Agriculture estimates that about half of the nation's farmworkers are unauthorized, while 15 percent of those in construction lack papers – more than the share of legal immigrants in either industry. In the service sector, which would include jobs such as fast food and domestic help, the figure is about 9 percent. Get the dataChart: The Conversation, CC-BY-ND Source: USDA, Pew Research Center Further studies show that the importance of this population of workers will only grow in coming years. For example, in 2014, unauthorized immigrants made up 24 percent of maids and cleaners, an occupation expected to need 112,000 more workers by 2024. In construction, the number of additional laborers needed is estimated at close to 150,000. And while only 4 percent of personal care and home health aides are undocumented, the U.S. will soon require more than 800,000 people to fill the jobs necessary to take care of retiring baby boomers. Vital to American farms Since agriculture is the industry that's most reliant on undocumented workers – and it's my area of expertise and research – let's zoom in on it. Overall, the agricultural industry in the United States has been on the decline since 1950. Back then, farming was a family business that employed more than 10 million workers, 77 percent of whom were classified as "family." As of 2000 – the latest such data available – only 3 million work on farms, and as noted earlier, an estimated half are undocumented. Increasingly, dairy farms such as those in New York rely on workers from Mexico and Guatemala, many of whom are believed to be undocumented. Currently, there is no visa program for year-round workers on dairy farms, so the precarious status of these workers poses serious concerns for the economic viability of the dairy industry. In 2017 research conducted by the Cornell Farmworker Program, 30 New York dairy farmers told us they turned to undocumented workers because they were unable to find and keep reliable U.S. citizens to do the jobs. That's in part because farm work can be physically demanding, dirty and socially denigrated work. More importantly, it is one the most dangerous occupations in the U.S. A study commissioned by the dairy industry suggested that if federal labor and immigration policies reduced the number of foreign-born workers by 50 percent, more than 3,500 dairy farms would close, leading to a big drop in milk production and a spike in prices of about 30 percent. Total elimination of immigrant labor would increase milk prices by 90 percent. unquote These U.S. industries can't work without illegal immigrants - CBS News

Regime change already came to Iran when the Ayatollahs kicked out the CIA installed Shah by overthrowing the democratically elected Mohammad Mosaddegh.
