Here's what I found on President Trump's "losers and suckers" controversy
Donald Trump says a lot of stuff he shouldn't. That is part of why a lot of people like it when he just blurts stuff out. I get that it
Ok. Do you think Pritzker should be re-elected? Because a greater percentage of Illinoisans have died with covid than those in Florida. And Florida probably has a much older population.
Helping people that don’t want to live under tyrannical Taliban rule?
"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.”
This fear of others that is re-growing in our country is strange.
Not surprising. I never understood the decision to force vaccines on people that already were infected.
You posted a couple weeks ago that you are worried about a certain segment of the American population. Strange fear, huh?
I am sure he will welcome them into his home with open arms…typical liberal hypocrite….meanwhile it will be the churches and other religious groups that will actually do something to help people. BTW, most of the people in the plane that came in the first wave were single men ….
How do these two relate? Helping poor people escape tyranny is……bad?
How does wanting to help people escape the Taliban conflict with worrying about a growing population on the right that has been radicalized and wants to do damage thinking they’re ‘patriots?’ Do you think every Afghan person is a terrorist, rill?
I have half a dozen Afghan refugees that I’ve been friends with for 10+ years. Two were in my wedding. Met them through work. (They are educated, hard ass workers and value their jobs rather than living off govt aid). All of them are now American citizens.
One of the guys extended family was among those that were evacuated through the Kabul airport. Another is still trying to get his out. His family did not have SIV, but in past 20 years has done a ton of work for US/NATO. Hasn’t worked for US in past few years so hard to get proper documentation to get out. Targets of Taliban if they stay. He has sisters, cousins, and his mother that have gotten used to a new type of life and can not go back to life under Taliban rule.
This is a complicated mess that Biden has made worse, but it’s much deeper than the partisan bullshit all over US media.
I know where Bagram is. I understand the purpose of keeping Bagram unlike you. Bagram should have been the absolute last thing to go. I seem to recall you are/were an attorney. If so, you should know better than to ask questions of the witness to which you don't know the answer.
Yes “helping”
here’s how this goes
we take the poor, unskilled, uneducated people from a foreign land and toss them into a place that is the polar opposite of anything they know culturally (Tomah WI about to be one in this case)
do we help them get educated? Skilled? Find work? No
instead we “help” them by putting them on a plane, adding them to the total brag metric of “saved” people, then watch their kids grow up in poverty in a foreign land they don’t have much of a shot at ever acclimating to
we love repeating the same mistakes over and over and over here in America
The clueless sheep still think voting for Biden was a good thing. I couldn't stand Trump's demeanor or his behavior of throwing associates under the bus when it was convenient, but, good lord, he was 1000x more effective with domestic and foreign policy. Our allies are now in a state of distrust. Our border is wide open and creating more pressure on our states' finances and personnel. Biden has done maximum damage to the US in only 7 months.
The way you talk about Afghans is how they talked about the Irish and Italians 200 years ago. America has a way of working itself out.
You don’t think Afghan people can learn or become quality community members because they’re Muslims from a foreign land? Yikes.
A good friend in college was from a middle eastern family that relocated to Texas. His dad owns a ranch. He just graduated from law school. Small minds are a bad thing to have.
Have you vetted them? Perhaps you should go hang out in a neighborhood of undocumented workers where they live in fear of real criminals and gang members that have come through the porous border. You know...they very same people they left their homes for to come to the US. You and the policies you support lack real compassion.
I haven't seen Pritzger up front. I have seen DeSantis, he has played hide and seek with the statistics, but most importantly he has tried to order the schools and businesses not to require masks, or proof of vaccinations. 1/2 of the schools and many businesses such as the cruise lines have refused. Not a good look to be openly disobeyed. Most parents do not like the no masks in school mandates and threatening the school officials trying to keep kids safe. Parents like to keep kids safe. Not a good look. When we were emerging from the pandemic because of vaccines and other measures, he took the freedom approach. The freedom approach and those refusing to vaccinate now caused the Delta surge. Not a good look, most of us that are vaccinated are pissed. Florida , due largely to De Santis' efforts is in contention for leading in Covid infections. What is there to like?

What country did you grow up in? Doesn't sound like you know America at all.
Ok nitwit. Nobody said they are incapable so save your Liberal BS for the Jim Acosta Fanclub Forum.
What I said is they do need help, and a plan….and we don’t do much of anything for them besides take the glory photos of them getting on the plane.
We “saved” the Hmongs after Vietnam …40 years later 74% are living in poverty in WI
we “saved” the Somali refugees…..78% of them now in poverty in MN
I’m sure this time we got it all figured out though !
It’s not ‘liberal BS.’ It’s called being a decent person. It’s called being an American. It seems anymore that everyone that screams about loving the country and being a patriot is usually as far away from that as possible and anti-American in reality.
liberals are so incredibly FOS
you have the “LetsUseKindWords” part figured out, but have nothing figured out on any actual solutions or substance
Not a liberal, dumb dumb. Try again.
It’s ok if you truly hate core American principles and what we’re supposed to stand for. At least you’re honest about it and don’t use a facade to cover your real beliefs.
Actually, out of the two of us, I’m the only one that hasn’t posted about being fearful of terror attacks.
I haven’t spent a second thinking about, or typing about, Americans or Afghans carrying out an attack. Quit projecting your fear on to others.
Projecting again. You hate people like the one you posted about a couple weeks ago, and that guy was just upset about American freedoms being taken away.
Kinda sucks to have your argument about a couple of Generals thought closing Bagram was an outstanding idea. If you want to know who is at fault, you should look at the Biden Admin Leadership. Biden should do everyone a favor and resign.It is called Rhetorical.
Since it went over your head the first time (not surprising), this is the American born son of Hillary-supporting Afghan refugees to the USA who went on to slaughter 49 innocent (mostly Americans) people at the Pulse Night Club in Orlando. Bring a select few who actually helped us.
And your stupid quote? Just a poem that was placed on the Statue of Liberty decades later. It's not a part of our founding at all.
The ONLY scorecard that COUNTS:
Trump; USMC killed in action last YEAR in Afgan: ZERO
Biden ; USMC killed in action last 6 MONTHS in AFgan; 12 at last count.
Thank you for finding that, proves exactly what I have been posting about Bagram and why it was closed.
Pulse was awful. How about the guy that went on that rampage in Las Vegas? Old, bald white guy, right? Skin color or religion doesn’t matter.

Florida is the only state where more people are dying of COVID now than ever before. What went wrong?

A few months ago, Gov. Ron DeSantis, Republican of Florida, declared his hands-off approach to COVID-19 “a tremendous success.” Politico announced that he had “won the pandemic.”
But then came the hypercontagious Delta variant, which continues to hit Florida harder than anywhere else in the country.
The result? DeSantis just added another, less flattering distinction to his résumé. When COVID first surged across the Sun Belt last summer, the average number of Floridians dying of the disease every 24 hours peaked at 185, according to the New York Times’s state-by-state COVID database. The same was true over the winter.

A few days ago, however, Florida’s daily death rate cleared 200 for the first time, and today it stands at 228 — an all-time high.
This makes DeSantis the first (and so far only) governor in the U.S. whose state is now recording more COVID-19 deaths each day — long after free, safe and effective vaccines became widely available to all Americans age 12 or older — than during any previous wave of the virus.
So what went wrong? California thinks it has the answer.
Since last spring, Florida and California — two of America’s biggest and most influential states — have been locked in a pitched battle over which kind of pandemic response makes the most sense: less or more. At times, the Sunshine State seemed to have the upper hand — like when Florida avoided the worst of a nationwide winter surge that hit California particularly hard, all while refusing to require masks in public and keeping bars and restaurants fully open.
But Delta may have changed that.
“Vaccines are working to prevent deaths in many other countries that have seen post vaccine spike in cases, and most other states in the U.S. as well. Florida is different,” Dr. Vincent Rajkumar, a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, recently explained on Twitter. “What’s different in Florida is that, relative to the vaccination rate (~50%), the relaxation of distancing and masking was disproportionately high. Leaders expressed disdain for masks and mask mandates. The total number of people unvaccinated is high. And hospitals got overwhelmed.”

What I've been saying for OVER A YEAR on this site, while retired MD's are calling me Dumb.
Meanwhile I have a drink of "Poland Spring" water after eating cut up fresh fruit for breakfast and Vita D3.
Trump; US military killed in Afghanistan while he was in office--60.
How many in Chicago during the SAME 4 years ?

…..isn’t Florida like the premiere vacation destination in the United States? Meaning a ridiculously large number of people traveling there from both vacations and second homes?
And last year travel was still down significantly ?
it seems like copious more amounts of people coming to and from, in conjunction with an aggressive variant, would be a quite obvious reason for more cases?
No. It doesn't. The military would have kept Bagram and HKIA open. Your wonderful Administration didn't provide enough resources to do the job correctly. For that Biden should be gone.
