President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Nah. Click on their name and read their thumbnail bio. I'm not writing all that on every tweet I link when it's already there a click away if you are curious. I post a lot of them where I think that the sentiment expressed is the setup. Is an opinion less valid if you don't know the writer? Fact checking someone if the stat looks spun or too good to be true, I try to do that.

Other side of the coin is that if I post a link and it's just a text jumble, I'm pretty good about putting the hed above the link, perhaps hed and subhed.

 

No I didn't know that. Nobody does.

“Did you know, if somebody sets a foot — just a foot, one foot, you don’t need two — on our land, congratulations, you are now a citizen of the United States of America,” Trump said, when discussing birthright citizenship."

Trump Has Utterly Absurd Take On How Citizenship Works

 

So Trump believes in college citizenship rules instead of NFL. Do they have to survive the ground to complete the naturalization?

 

Got to get that blackmail material.

Trump's DOJ secretly obtained phone and text message logs of 43 congressional staffers and 2 members of Congress

 

Tulsi Gabbard is grossly unqualified, a tool of foreign interests. But Assad from that....

 

Guess he couldn't keep the carapace.

 

I get it fine. Don't you get that you're on a board of journalists who supposedly care about important issues, and that you're probably missing out by not looking at things?

Most of you just hardly post, or don't post links. So that's how you get around this rule that's not even worth arguing about.

You know I have a point. You're just choosing to ignore it. I don't post garbage, or things that people maybe wouldn't want to see, particularly not on a substantial, important thread, as I've said, oh, probably five times now. I attempt to be a good, engaged, contributing poster to the board, and it's your loss if you choose not to read something valuable because somebody doesn't explain something enough for you so that you don't actually have to read it. But if you don't want to look at it, just do as you've been doing, and don't.

As you say,(JFC), it really doesn't matter.

 

So it turns out there’s another workaround for people insulted by the notion of common courtesy on the board.

And … done.

 

Trump picks Kimberly Guilfoyle and Tom Barrack to be ambassadors to Greece and Turkey

 

Anyway, speaking
of important issues ...

"Post a relevant excerpt (in italics) when you link.
It ain't hard, and it's an expected board courtesy."

 

Why immigration was such a major political issue:

Recent Immigration Surge Has Been Largest in U.S. History

Annual net migration — the number of people coming to the country minus the number leaving — averaged 2.4 million people from 2021 to 2023, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Total net migration during the Biden administration is likely to exceed eight million people.

That’s a faster pace of arrivals than during any other period on record, including the peak years of Ellis Island traffic, when millions of Europeans came to the United States. Even after taking into account today’s larger U.S. population, the recent surge is the most rapid since at least 1850:
