[quote quote=6790]McCarthy is like an expensive new car with a dead battery. He’s a really good rainmaker but I’d prefer General Sherman for now. So I give McCarthy a down vote but I think weasels in somehow. I give the 20 rogue Republicans an upvote for having some stones. In the end there is no such thing as bad publicity so it’s pretty good theater for the Republican Party. Like to see another 50 votes or so just for something to do until the NFL playoffs.[/quote]
You want Sherman and we have McClellan. At this point, McCarthy will be no more effective as Speaker than Joe Biden is as President. It would serve the GOP right if 5 members joined with libs and elected Jeffries as speaker.
McCarthy will be unable to lead. He should step aside.

“It feels like Michigan is going to be a real opportunity to signal to the rest of the country what it looks like when Democrats are in charge,” McMorrow said.
Yep. It sure is. ‘You’ve got to deliver’: Democrats take charge in Michigan (clickondetroit.com)[/quote]
No pressure. If the rest of the country cares what it looks like when Democrats are in charge, California, Oregon and Washington are textbook examples.
[quote quote=6772]We need to accomodate immigration. From many parts of the world. But our national interests should be the filter to determine who is let in.[/quote]
We do, over 1 Million legal immigrants per year. More than any other country. This year there will be over 1M hopeful immigrants claiming asylum, when less than 5% will be granted.
Legal immigration laws could stand to have an update, but it won’t matter until officials become interested in upholding laws as they are written.
Surprising (at least to me) USSC orders Title 42 to remain in place.
Supreme Court orders Title 42 border restrictions to remain in place
The policy has drawn fierce criticism from immigration activists, who say the policy is cruel and inhumane. Cruel and inhumane? IMO, it is cruel and inhumane to not discourage potential immigrants from hiking 2000 miles with the hope of entering the US illegally.
[quote quote=6733]BD you know I want interesting debate and conversation on here but all I got in response to your post is three words: Ha Ha Ha.[/quote]
Not sure how to take that, but I assume its the humor you find in irony.
18 months ago Colorado was praised for passing laws to help illegals.

In the meantime, the not so lovable Newsom is crying over the influx of immigrants taking advantage of laws and social programs that benefit illegals. “Newsom claimed the U.S. government is sending “more and more” migrants to California because the state is “taking care of folks.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/newsom-says-california-about-to-break-amid-flood-of-illegal-migrants-when-title-42-expires/ar-AA15gCWt
Go figure. Reap what you sew….
And not one word from the left on how to stop it. Mayorkas says the border is secure. I wonder what his definition of secure is. Certainly different than mine.
Seriously? Based on other polls, Biden’s approval rating jumped between 15 and 20 points. This is based on Griner being released?
I guess Joe’s handlers called that one.
I wonder what the escape clause for the Migratory Bird Act is. It’s been around for over 100 years, and has been modified 3-4 times. It’s a treaty, so the White House can’t indulge in it’s usual fuckery. (Or at least, they should not be able too.)
20 years from now, the greenies will scream greedy conservatives blocked construction of nuclear power plants in order to make big $$ on manufacturing and installation of solar and wind power stations.
I’m shocked. Government hands out buckets of money and some of it was fraudulently obtained?
Holy stimulus checks Batman, what’s next?
[quote quote=6620]I voted for Trump in the past…but I will never do it again. I like many of his policies, but he has too many negative character issues. Also, his recent comment about DeSantis just before the election was the final straw. I wish he would just fade away.[/quote]
Brix- in 4 sentences, you stated exactly how I feel about Trump. Right now he is the glue that holds the democratic party together. Seems like every political ad from the left in the last 3 weeks mentioned MAGA, Trump supporter or election denier.
Trump needs to step aside…..
[quote quote=6619]If trump were a team player, here’s what he should do: 1. announce a run for president. Not now but, say just before desantis 2. Act as the stalking horse for desantis… keep desantis in the news and to the left of “perceived trump” (I say perceived because trump was never a hard right pol). 3. Make it about exposure and favorable coverage for desantis, while doing his “trump” thing to rile the 15 % of the electorate that is “MAGA TRUMP” 4. Go through the primaries with a goal of winning a few but putting desantis on offense and keeping him in the news. The Dems are sure to have a primary fight in 24 OR they will have Biden getting plenty of pub. 5. Drop out and endorse desantis. Leaving desantis as a sane, logical, centrist choice against Biden or whatever other lefty loon the Dems put in place. this will never happen because trump is about trump. and, I agree he needs to get off the stage.[/quote]
Trump is a team player on a one man team.
[quote quote=6613]One good thing is that Trump was diminished a bit, and DeSantis was enhanced. I’m disappointed, but not devastated. I just hope Trump stays away from the Georgia runoff.[/quote]
Diminished a bit. Did anyone he endorsed win? The election deniers got boat raced.
