Prompt Engineering is a real thing and will probably be an accredited degree in the near future.

How are you going to reframe one of the largest religions on the planet as an ideology?


Great question. It's something I don't have a complete answer to as my practice is in Engineering and not Lawyering :lol:

This is why I sort of fall into the Convention of States bucket, because you're right. There isn't really a judge or politician ready to climb that mountain.

You can no more ban the construction of 50 mosques than you could the construction of 50 synagogues or churches.. the only answer is to protect the border and not allow millions to simply walk into the country


Or amend the Constitution.

You also don’t as a matter of policy relocate millions of people out of a country as soon as it’s hit by a natural disaster like we are so keen to do. Can you imagine relocating millions of people along the gulf coast to European countries every time a hurricane makes landfall?


What are you trying to infer here? Sure we can blame Biden for the Afghanistan refugees and be absolutely correct. However, importing Islam is not strictly a democrat directive, its more uniparty in my opinion.
quote:

Not that I’d want 50 mosques in my city but exactly what is abbot supposed to do here? Do you want him to call in the national guard, round up the muzzies and then bulldoze the mosques? Was he supposed to machine gun down the invaders at the southern border that Biden opened it up? If you want to solve a “problem” you’re going to have to first admit that the problem wasn’t created by Abbot, but it was purposely created by the previous administration to get mouth breathers like yourself all hot under the collar at the guy who has ZERO legal authority to round up Muslims, stop the construction of mosques and ban a religion.


I mean of course its clearly impossible to ban religion as its protected under the TX state and US Constitution. However, if this is reframed more as an ideology and not religion that protected status could at minimum get a visit from SCOTUS and at least some direction legally could be applied to provide safe harbor.

I would relent also to say it could be a slippery slope as the wrong people get their hands on the same legislative weapon could cause significant problems.

However, outside of a Constitutional Amendment via Convention of States could close these loop holes, as I don't believe (my interpretation) the founding fathers thought Islam as the ideology for which this country was founded.

I would need to check, but im certain outside of Ken Paxton, this has never been brought up or even attempted. Obviously this would require great spiritual will and political capital. Something it seems you cant find in most politicians these days.

As far as H1-B is concerned neither Abbot or Trump has done frick all to actually gain any real movement here. We have the talent here. We have the will to retrain. Americans at the height of the empire did not rely on any sort of substantial foreign workers. Were there groups of people along the timeline who helped? Of course.

Federally I want an end to all immigration and at the state level (since this is not possible) I will link Doc Chambers policy:

Doc Chambers H1B/Foreign Labor Policy

It allows for full transparency on the extent of how many visa holders in companies (and its subcontractors), taxes on foreign money transfers, and favorable tax environments for companies who hire American First.

Are you fricking retarded? Abbott is a RINO. I voted for Doc who is far from being a RINO :lol:
You are conflating two different problems into one. He oversaw in the last 12 years BOTH.
quote:


Imagine blaming Trump or Abbott for all the foreign cancers that Obama/Biden let in


Abbot has been Gov of Texas since 2014

Trump is currently in year 6 of the Presidency during this similar time frame.

The State and Federal Gov have done absolutely nothing to curtail or end H1-B or infiltration of Sharia operatives.
quote:


I’m no Abbott fan but what exactly is he supposed to do to stop mosques from being built


its not just the Mosques, its H1-B abuse and the majority of his money coming from both buckets.

If you dont wanna open your eyes I cant help you here man. I just live in the middle of all this bullshite.
quote:


Texas sure does have some shitty Republicans.


Unfortunately true, but Doc is about as good as its gonna get for now. His platform is very pro Texan and America First.

You loons are so suspect

The irony

Imagine blaming Trump for abbott being a clown

This is peak TDS

Like that cuck porksammich blaming Orange for Iran killing its ppl

You have serious mental issues like Harry Von Rex


The white ring around your mouth is showing again
quote:

Out of curiosity, what does Abbott have to do with Mosques being built? Seems like a local thing


Has ultimately overseen the invasion of Texas and has done nothing up until recently (due to pressure) to do anything remotely about it.
Most Texans with a brain realize Abbott has overseen the largest foreign invasion of Texas ever. 50+ Mosques in DFW and other cities in the Golden Triangle, Sharia Law running wild. Rampant H1-B abuse (#1 State in America).

If you give a shite about Texas staying Texas vote Doc Chambers.

frick you


You're assuming every day is weighed equally. Which is never the case.


Edit: To be fair GumboPot's post made more sense then your flailing. Im currently just pointing out your mathematical flaws to just frick with you and be antagonistic, because frick you too. :cheers:

I love the panic and then elation at mere quarter by quarter numbers some people have.

I remember what happened to people that yanked their money out of the market when the tariff panic hit.



Actually no today is a green day even after the GDP and Tarriff news :nana: :nana:
Florida is a closed primary state.

If there are people who are looking to vote for Fishback who are not Republican. They have to do what he just mentioned.

GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + Net Exports (Exports - Imports)

Government spending fell significantly (e.g., one report notes a ~5.1% drop, subtracting ~0.9 percentage points from GDP growth). This was heavily impacted by the extended 43-day federal government shutdown in October–November 2025, which reduced federal outlays substantially (largest drop since the early 1970s) and weighed on the headline number.

What appears to be bad, is actually good. When government spending falls especially at the current rate of spending I consider that a net positive.


Finally an acceptable response. Thank you!
