Trump slowed immigration with his abhorrent policy of separating children from their parents at the border, and Biden refuses to STOOP THAT LOW. There are still thousands of children who were separated from their parents at the border and we've been unable to reunite them due to non-existent record keeping under the Trump admin. You're welcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impartialobserver Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 My prediction is that Trump wins in 2024 with 280 to 284 electoral votes. Georgia and Wisconsin being two states that flip from blue to red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh, I’m embarrassed, eh? 😝 Your clumsy language in which you thought you were winning a point by claiming to another poster, that you “took science classes in college”, is the most laughable thing I’ve read in this forum in the over 15 years that I’ve been here. So thanks for that. An actual college student would have mentioned the specific field of study, not termed them “science classes”(as if you were still in grade 9). And would have mentioned a degree earned, or not mentioned it at all. And in rebuttal to my earlier pointing all this out, you posted a photo of some college to help “prove” you actually attended there! Priceless!!

The Trump administration separated families, and would not allow asylum seekers to claim asylum at the point of entry. They had to apply from Mexico. That is illegal. Any person who is at a port of entry and claims asylum must, by law, be admitted and to have their claim investigated and processed. That is not only international law, but US law, passed by Congress and up held by the SCOTUS. They cannot be removed until that process is complete. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sake of argument, let's say that you are 100% correct in the above. What you are saying is that a sitting president had the US border handling immigrants illegally. For what, 3 years? And no court intervened. He wasn't arrested for this. He is now not being prosecuted for this. It seems a sitting American president can just dictate whatever he wants, whether it's illegal or not, and as long as he has either the Senate or the Congress, he gets away with it? Which means that Biden, or any of the previous presidents could theoretically break the law if they wanted to. Thats a strange reality, I think you are going to have to colour me skeptical on that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CdnFox Posted January 3 Author Report Share Posted January 3 4 hours ago, robosmith said: All Biden has to do is put the blame on Congress where it squarely belongs, because only they have the power to change the immigration laws. He needs to continually harp on the Republicon House's refusal to change the law cause they just want to keep it for a political issue. So you're saying the president doesn't matter Might as well have trump then But you are correct that along with trump the US should elect a republican house and senate.

Caswell Thomas Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 5 hours ago, Queenmandy85 said: With a surging economy, President Biden is still lagging in the polls. That shows people are more concerned about the southern border than the economy. It is the border issue that will re-elect President Trump. It is the gift that keeps on giving to the former President. There is no legal remedy for the growing migration across the border. The GOP just has to keep up the mantra that President Biden has to stop people from crossing the border. When asked how, they say Biden is encouraging it. The truth is, President Biden knows this issue is costing him the election and if he had a way to solve the problem he would do it. There is no legal way to solve the border crisis. It is only going to get worse. President Trump loves it because it will give him back the Presidency, and after that, he has no incentive to solve it. Let them come, because he cannot run again so why should he care. As long as the Secret Service keeps them away from his golf resort, he doesn't have any reason to do anything. I agree with some of this, Biden cannot just Close the Border, that would cause a lot of Republican owned companies who use South of the Border labor a great deal of money, and put a whole lot of newly added Texas Rangers out of work along with a large contingent of other businesses who cater to migrant labor. Even Texas knows this despite errecting mid-Rio Grande barriers and shipping off bus loads of not wanted migrants to other states and unloading them in the dead of night in the middle of nowhere. Can't say I would be voting Republican when I became a citizen, if I we're treated like that. Yet Trumps immigration policies are doing just that, creating new under classes who absolutely hate the Republican Party in any form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CdnFox Posted January 9 Author Report Share Posted January 9 Seems like trump's firing back at biden calling the jailed capital protesters 'hostages' https://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-clinton-iowa-comments-january-6-rioters/ Clinton, Iowa — Former President Donald Trump said Saturday at a campaign rally in Clinton, Iowa, that President Biden should release Jan. 6 rioters who are serving prison time for their actions during the attack on the U.S. Capitol. "Release the J6 hostages, Joe," Trump said. "Release them, Joe. You can do it real easy, Joe." Trump made the comments three years since the day of the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol. It's unclear who he meant would be released since many of those who were convicted of misdemeanors have already served out their sentences. A CBS News poll released Saturday found two-thirds of Republicans support Trump's suggestion to grant pardons to those involved in the Jan. 6 attacks It certainly plays into the 'dems are bending the laws to inappropriately punish their enemies' message trump has been pushing. We'll see how sticky that is, but while it may win him the nomination it's not going to win him the election sooner or later he'll have to transition to a wider audience.

WestCanMan Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 In Oct 2020 the FBI had two tricks up their sleeve for Biden: 1) They successfully cancelled the laptop story and created the impression that it was actually just more Russian disinformation 2) They "solved" their own Whitmer kidnapping plot With the anti-Trump crackheads being twitchier than ever this year, I can't imagine the FBI not finding a way to get involved again, especially with Trump so far ahead in the polls this time. My prediction: as soon as the 2024 'mostly peaceful protests' come to an end, a video clip or clips from the FBI's spy campaign will be leaked to a Vanity Fair type rag. Let's be honest, it's impossible that they spied on him for 4 years and didn't record enough debauchery to write the Old Balls Kama Sutra, but they can't just hand it over to CNN with the FBI logo all over it. If they go with 2 again this year, the second one will just be more Russian collusion-related BS. Maybe the accusation that Trump and his associates somehow aided the Russians in Ukraine, or that he cut a deal with them to start that war if Biden won. I can't imagine getting through 2024 without Antifa, BLM and the FBI going all out in support of Biden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CdnFox Posted January 9 Author Report Share Posted January 9 Looks like biden wants to avoid running on his record - here's his response to trump's claim he's holding hostages https://www.thefp.com/p/biden-all-about-trump-jan-6-2024 Biden Makes It All About Trump. Will That Be Enough? Could the president drop out? Democratic leaders wishcast. Plus, a missing defense secretary, the Golden Globes, and more. For the first three years of his presidency, Biden tried to avoid saying the words Donald Trump. On Friday night, he mentioned the man 44 times. In a speech at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, on the eve of the third anniversary of the January 6 riot, Joe Biden made the case for his reelection by castigating his predecessor. “Today we’re here to answer the most important of questions,” said Biden. “Is democracy still America’s sacred cause?. . . . [It’s] the most urgent question of our time, and it’s what the 2024 election is all about.” He went on: “Donald Trump’s campaign is about him, not America, not you.” The same can be said of Biden’s own campaign. Faced with an unenthusiastic Democratic base, three in four Americans who say they are “seriously concerned” that his age might affect his mental and physical competence, and poll after poll showing him losing to Trump in a head-to-head matchup, Biden is betting on his opponent’s shortcomings rather than his own strengths. I don't think this is going to cut it for biden. I think he still has to convince people that he's the right guy for the job, not that trump is a bad person. And i don't think this attitude gets him there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCanMan Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 (edited) Like I said in another thread, I don't think Biden is actually running in the 2024 election. The Dems just know that they don't have any candidates that can beat Bernie, and they can't conspire against him again because Bernie has enough supporters within the DNC that it's impossible to do it without another leak. A great man once said: "The Democrat Party is such a clown car of disgraced losers that they make communism look like a shining beacon of hope."
