If it is anything outside of Republicans are stupid and Democrats are great, which is what you have posted nonstop for years, you do not need to respond.
Congrats on the S&P 500 call. At least you were right about one thing.

"Oh, God. Here we go again. A hypocrite who is leaving the USA to get laid telling me how great our country is.
This from a guy who wanted rights tossed in the trash can with Covid. Did you forget this already Paulie?
The reason you are able to go to Colombia now is because people like me called out the government on their Covid bullshit, did our research, and did all we could to ignore them. We convinced enough people they were lying and just when the majority of Americans were seeing through the scam, the government, instead of admitting it, came up with the new crisis de jour, Ukraine. And you have fallen hook, line, and sinker for that scam too.
The USA government was a bigger threat to my freedoms with Covid than Covid was. We printed up $11 trillion for Covid. For what? Now hundreds of billions for Ukraine? For what? Meanwhile, I fly from Fort Lauderdale, a shithole of an airport, to the Bogota airport, which is beautiful. Is it too much to ask that my tax dollars go to infrastructure versus the police / deep state, MIC, and for a virus that was as potent as the flu in most people?
The USA is the best country in the world in which to make a living. For the most people, the American people are compassionate and kind unless they have government or attorneys making them go to war with each other.
You paid American women to have sex and broke the law. You going to lie about that like Tooms too? Are you going to pat yourself on the back and claim to be a law abiding citizen? OMG.
And you make it out like it is me. How many people are going to ignore all the deep state warnings and all the prosecutors and vote for him?
I have an idea. If you do not like Trump as president, why don't you leave?

Posts: 5454The Real Immigrant Crisis!
Immigration is 'taking pressure off' the job market and economy, expert says.
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/02/immi...ndroidappshare
-Why immigration is a net benefit for the economy .
-Immigration has helped put a lid on inflation.
No evidence immigrants are taking American jobs......
Immigrants also launch new businesses at far higher rates than the overall U.S. population, according to research published in 2020.
The study authored by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Pennsylvania, Northwestern University and the U.S. Census Bureau found immigrants in the U.S. workforce to be substantial job creators with an 80% higher entrance rate into entrepreneurship compared with native-born individuals. It examined data on more than 1 million firms founded between 2005 and 2010 that survived for at least five years.
"Overall, the findings suggest that immigrants appear to create jobs (expand labor demand) more than they take jobs (expand labor supply) in the U.S. economy, the study said.

Both President Biden and former President Trump are visiting the U.S.-Mexico border today, where voters will hear dueling messages about what each believes the other one has done or failed to do. As such, it is important to debunk the gargantuan myth of how successful Trump was on the issue of border security and controlling illegal immigration.
Trump was not successful. In fact, he made the issue much worse, decimating the legal immigration system while failing to deter illegal migration.
Seriously. Was there anything related to the economy, jobs creation, national security, immigration, border control or his sworn duty to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America that Donald J. Trump did not totally fuck up to spectacularly historic disastrous results?

On February 28, Fox News host Jesse Watters hosted "James Lee" on his show to discuss the murder of Laken Riley on the campus of the University of Georgia. Watters did not disclose, however, that Lee is actually James DePaola, who has had multiple run-ins with the law himself, including when he became violent over a grilled cheese sandwich his wife had made, prompting his 12-year-old daughter to call the police.
On February 28, Athens-Clarke County Mayor Kelly Girtz held a press conference. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the press conference had been interrupted multiple times by protesters, including James DePaola.
- Law-enforcement officers did not remove anybody from the room while Girtz spoke, but police asked Athens resident James Depaola several times to wait his turn to speak.
"We the people are tired of this lawlessness," Depaola told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution after the press conference ended. "We are being put last. "
Yep. More Repub-Winger phony outrage planted in the otherwise empty skulls of their base since it is impossible for Repubs to point to one now revered positive legislative result or benefit to the American People that they ever proposed, fought for and passed when they occupied the White House and had the Majority in the House and the Senate.
Not one.
Right up there with Repub-Wingers' continuing rant that Obama-Biden's historic economic recovery from GW Bush's historic Great Repub Recession and Massive Jobs Destruction wasn't "fast enough" compared to the Dems' other previous Great Recoveries from previous Great Repub Depressions / Recessions and Massive Jobs Destruction, Obama's beige suit, Biden's historic recovery from the most recent "Once in 100 Years" Repub Disaster under Trump not managing to pull us out of that Great Repub Global Supply-Chain Collapse with zero inflation or the cost of gas going up and on and on and on.

BTW, have you found the section of the Thai Criminal / Penal Code that specifies that consenting adults exchanging money for sex is illegal yet? I can save you the trouble so you too can continue to be a Do Nothing Repub; there isn't one.
BTW Part 2, I hope you enjoy that historic Dem Joe Biden Infrastructure DECADE over there in the USA funded by MY taxe dollars (your beloved Trump assured us he is too "smart" to pay taxes) and facilitated entirely by MY votes for Joe Biden and the Dems.
Again, you're welcome.

Just another right-wing dog whistle, to get conservatives, off their couches and panicking in fear, all the way to the voting box. The decline in crime is far better, than since Trump's COVID years of high crime.

Perhaps Elvis 2008, and other ISG "COVID Warrior Warlords", will want to add this to his 'war chest' of conspiracies on COVID. Apparently, the selfishness of not wearing masks and infringing on other people's health, has consequences...$100K worth!

I was exactly right as we've been talking about COVID in the past tense for at least a year now. But no, so many here so eager to get their dicks wet again went chasing after global conspiracy theories.
We also needed to strike a balance to protect the vulnerable, and even children as over 18 K have died from the illness. But MAGAs refused, insisting it was all a global conspiracy to thwart Trump's re-election prospects. As a result, red states as a whole had substantially higher rates of COVID deaths. The lunacy and selfishness were astounding.

Looks to me like both of those entities are all about that. Does it really matter to you if that is the result of the same mindset from the beginning or as the result of their deep and intense collusion on so many issues over the decades?
You choose. How about choosing one answer for it today and then twist yourself into a pretzel about it tomorrow for another answer? Like Repubs on their made up "Border Crisis"! And their made up "Inflation Crisis"! For which they have proposed exactly zero solutions.
And what on earth got you into such a twist over Fauci and some ancient comment about HIV as though that has anything whatsoever to do with the Repub Party targeting pleasure-reserving "chemical" contraceptives but are so far fine with condoms or any other methods of contraception that interferes with evil Sex For Pleasure?
Oh, BTW, why was that ancient video clip of Fauci so abruptly cut practically mid sentence? You know that is always a bad sign for whatever point you Wingers think you are making. And have you got a link for the entire article Fauci wrote on the topic back in prehistoric tines that was referenced? I have a hunch that won't exactly fully support whatever your point was either.

Posts: 5454On the occasion of two candidates' visit to the border.
No need to contrast the difference between Do Nothing, Open Borders-Loving Trump vs Real POTUS Joe Biden who has actually agreed to sign the bill full of conditions Repubs claimed to want but flip-flopped and rejected at Trump's behest.
The idiotic baby-talk and lies coming out of Trump's pie-hole vs Biden's perfectly lucid, adult, presidential demeanor and genuine invitation (again) to Repubs in Congress to get off their Do Nothing, Deadbeat Butts and give him the legislation to solve the problem since Executive Orders are only temporary at best and any of his on this issue are sure to be held up by Repub legislators and judges, should tell you everything you need to know about which candidate is capable of actually solving it.
And if that isn't enough, please note that Trump and his fellow Repubs have been lying about the "Migrant Crime Wave" inside and outside of the border towns and sanctuary cites from the beginning, all through the middle and right up until now.
From 2017:
No Evidence Sanctuary Cities Breed Crime
https://www.factcheck.org/2017/02/no...s-breed-crime/
In a pre-Super Bowl interview on Fox, President Donald Trump claimed sanctuary cities breed crime. But limited research on the effect of such policies has found no evidence that they lead to overall increases in crime rates.
Trump's claims of a migrant crime wave are not supported by national data.
An NBC News review of available 2024 crime data shows overall crime levels dropping in cities that have received the most migrants.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...ata-rcna140896
WASHINGTON When Donald Trump speaks at the southern border in Texas on Thursday, you can expect to hear him talk about migrant crime, a category he has coined and defined as a terrifying binge of criminal activity committed by undocumented immigrants spreading across the country.
.....
But despite the former presidents campaign rhetoric, expert analysis and available data from major-city police departments show that despite several horrifying high-profile incidents, there is no evidence of a migrant-driven crime wave in the United States.
Most people think the U.S. crime rate is rising. They're wrong.
Almost 80 percent of Americans, and 92 percent of Republicans, think crime has gone up. It actually fell in 2023. An expert blames a familiar culprit for the mistaken impression.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...own-rcna129585
Crime in the United States has declined significantly over the last year, according to new FBI data that contradicts a widespread national perception that law-breaking and violence are on the rise.
....
Asher and other analysts say the natural tendency of the news media to highlight disturbing crime stories and the tendency of those stories to go viral on social media presents a false but persuasive picture.
Videos of flash mobs on shop lifting sprees or carjackings in broad day light are more ubiquitous, even if those crimes are not.

In 2020, Russia had 314 abortions to 1,000 live births, compared with 188 in the European Union, according to the World Health Organization.
So as part of your made up Russia-Republican alliance, Twisty McPretzel, is the goal of this evil alliance to have more or fewer abortions? I cannot tell. And what is the goal of Democrats? Are you hoping for more?
And the scientists like Fauci love men having sex with women as God intended? LOL. Since when? You Democratic douches rolled the "scientist" Anthony Fauci out to put Trump down. Before he was scaring the shit out of everyone with Covid, there was AIDS. In the context of a conversation about childhood infections: Fauci speculates that "if the close contact of a child is a household contact, perhaps there will be a certain number of cases of individuals who are just living with and in close contact with someone with AIDS, or at risk of AIDS, who does not necessarily have to have intimate sexual contact or share a needle, but just the ordinary close contact that one sees in normal interpersonal relations. ".
Here is the video link of him saying just that: https://news.yahoo.com/video-resurfa...180945365.html.
Where the fuck did you get the idea that a "scientist" like Fauci was in favor of bareback sex?
Then you had the idiocy of Covid and the notion of sex with masks. In hindsight, for myself, I wish the work and travel restrictions stayed in place. I never got so much good and cheap pussy in my life. For Democratic douches like you who hung on his every word, you guys had the worst case of blue balls imaginable. What is amazing is you dumb douches still worship at the alter of Fauci.
Hey Twisty, how many back operations have you had? Because at this rate, you are going to need a few more.
