OK, sure, not 100% absolute statement, but still generally speaking yes. Things are still getting better now in many regards. You are also shifting this from a reality problem to one of perception. The average person had no concept of a shower in WWI and barely a bath, sewage, plumbing, bathrooms, these are all common quality of life things folks in Western civilization just take for granted now. If you put someone from today, in the average life, back in WWI, average life, it would be insanely worse in so many regards. This notion that folks are just getting by with food and shelter as if it were the same as WWI timeframe is silly.

OK. I like my culture as it is. Nothing wrong with that. You liberals want to celebrate and cherish every culture but your own. Move to Afghanistan and tell me if all cultures are the same and should be celebrated and welcomed. I swear you people are so dumb.

It’s the first post in this thread.. YOU CREATED. What evidence do you have ICE did this other than the parents claiming it?

Every example I have seen like these are lies or distortions meant to deceive. There was no attempt to use a child to lure anyone like this. These are unfounded BS assertions. ICE officers had rescued the child after parents abandoned trying to flee. Absolutely not. ICE agents NEVER used a 5-year-old girl as ‘bait’—what a disgusting smear," she said in a post on X. "The criminal illegal alientarget — with previous arrests for domestic abuse and strangulation, among other charges — ABANDONED his own child in a car." She added that Mejia ignored emergency lights, fled to his home, and left his daughter behind. "He fled from the car, gave officers the double middle finger, and darted inside his house," McLaughlin said. "He abandoned his 5-year-old daughter in the car. Officers helped rescue the child and called local police to report the abandonment. https://www.foxnews.com/us/dhs-rejects-nbc-report-claiming-ice-used-5-year-old-autistic-girl-bait-arrest-father

You are conflating 2 different discussions. The one where you claimed Trump was attacking the first amendment because they are targeting ANTIFA violence and later discussions about Illegal Immigration.

OK… and? What does having no convictions have to do with anything we were discussing or you were claiming? They are still here illegally. ICE job is to enforce federal immigration law. It doesn’t matter if you are also convicted of more crimes or not.

Amazing how you make an assertion and can’t seem to back it up with any kind of argument

So what? The popular vote is irrelevant to electing the President. It doesn’t matter if someone loses that, and still becomes president because that isn’t how they are elected. You are not offering any argument as to why this isn’t Democratic. This is a chess match, and you are arguing chess isn’t a real game because the person who won the chess match didn’t also win the checkers game.

What are you talking about? The standards and quality of life today are insanely and wildly beyond what anyone had back then.

OK… and? They are targeting VIOLENCE AND THREATS OF VIOLENCE Are you ever going to actually engage here honestly or with any substance? You know, like you claim you want?

I understand the process, this doesn’t explain why you think I need to do more. Just giving me random facts doesn’t explain your comment at all. You are just making the same assertion again, no arguments.

How so? You have no argument.

A culture being forced on you doesn’t mean you have to do the things… It means they change the laws of your city to have public calls to prayer throughout the day, not that you have to pray, but the culture has been changed. Or perhaps now rape goes up or is tolerated more - not that you have to rape people, but now more women are subjected to this… Catching on?

It doesn’t have to be 2 parties, that is simply how the system has evolved. The winner is determined by majority of the electoral college who were supported by a majority of the electorate. You folks don’t like the system because it sometimes favors Republicans. That is all.

In this very thread you did and I have pointed it out already to you in the last hour. You dishonestly chose to ignore the part where they are focused on VIOLENCE and THREATS OF VIOLENCE. You just keep running away from this. Oh wow, look at your fact-based quality discussion! Oh my. ROFL

I did, you ran away. They are not. They are focused on enforcing federal laws that target illegal immigrants. You choose to focus on the extreme few incidents you can try to politicize and even then end up pushing lies and mischaracterizations about what is going on.

Again, I asked for examples. This is just more vague assertions. When you come on here pushing the standard surface-level deep talking points based on lies, misinformation, or falsehoods about Trump, the response is going to be to point that out. That is not being defensive; it is called engaging in fact-based debate. More vague assertions. Lets start with this thread, you did not start this thread with any kind of "loo what's going on" No, you absurdly and cartoonishly called this thread The Trump Administration is Emulating Russia based on your completely dishonest take on the administration targeting violence and threats of violence.

Give an example of what you are talking about here. Who are you talking to? Lets be clear, you run away. How so? Speaking of running away, we last left off our discussion here with my pointing out to you that Bondi said violence and threats of violence, as you dishonestly tried to cut that part out. Violence and threats of violence is not mere dissent. Is that the dissent you support?

Yeah right. This entire forum section is full of threads you have run away from on just the front page... some of them you created! ROFL Oh yeah, here is your factual discussion... ROFL

You have to be kidding. You push surface-level deep leftist talking points, and then, when challenged, quickly fall apart. The US has not sided with Russia.

I understand you are a PROLIFIC and PATHOLOGICAL LIAR.

He knows. He is being obtuse.

Of course it is. And… still no idea what you are talking about.

He has been pushing this lie for weeks now and never explains himself.

Yeah… that isn’t what Democrats were crying about or why regarding Hegseth. Helpless combatants were not machine gunned down here. People bent on doing bad things will come up with any excuse, and the US is not engaged in gunning down helpless people unlawfully. Well, in this context yes, the difference is that he wasn’t a member of Congress making a public declaration to troops like Democrats did.
