So therefore the next guy should just be able to do whatever he wants. Is that what you're implying?

---

Not "whatever he wants" but certainly behave at least to the level they did.

Yes, even 4th graders understand equal standards.

He hasn't been hitting the sancturary cities, which is where the bulk of illegals are. Ever since that limp wristed nurse committed suicide via cop ICE has backed out of sancturary cities. That's when Tom Homan took over.

Edit: Tom Homan took over ICE in January, announced the end to ICE surges in large cities in February because liberals kept getting themselves killed and moderates proved too dumb to see the game being played. So thats 7 months. 7 months as head of ICE and all he's done so far is reduce ICE presence/activities.

I hope he does do what he says he'll do. But he has pissed away at least 7 months. That's 1/8th of President Trumps term.

That's why I'm checking my watch.

What does this have to do with t president's breaking the law?

WTF was that commercial?

An attempt to skirt the law, potentially.

I don't know the legalities here but the focus was strongly of anti-communism, which might be something the US gov could make commercials about?

Sure its right before a midterm, so it's pretty clearly meant to be a campaign ad. But its carefully done to attempt to walk the line legally?

No clue here.

No. A lot of people have a hard time voting for a woman. It doesn’t matter if they agreed with her or not. They wouldn’t vote or would vote for Trump or a 3rd party.

---

You seem to simply be arguing that they wouldn't vote for Kamala, not that Kamala wouldn't win.

No, but you bet your arse they're going to be surprised, yet again, that politicians make promises they can't fully keep. Then the salty cycle will start over.

So you lied? Checks out. Typical white liberal woman.

Careful. Don't stress her out. Allegedly she has 3 kids.

If it looks like replacement theory, sounds like replacement theory, and moves like replacement theory, you're a racist conspiracy theorist for noticing.

I also voted for Trump 3x. Me and totally female white wife who's never had an abortion donated eleventy hundred dollars to Trump's campaign. But we didn't think he was serious on his stance that Iran was never to be allowed to have nukes. We thought "no new wars" meant if we were invaded we'd just roll over and get conquered because "no new wars" was completely literal and didn't allow for any exceptions what-so-ever.

My totally cisgender 3 year old came crying to me last week, upset when he found out we'd attacked Iran. I didn't know what to tell him so we just put together an American flag puzzle and then went to the gun range.

I'm totally a white male native English speaking conservative just like you guys.

I'm totally serious for reals guys!

Yeah. However, what isn't standard is the 200+ days without hitting port. There are no days off when you're at sea. You work every day, Monday-Sunday, until you get put on liberty. I can't relate to a carrier deployment as I've only ever deployed on submarines, but as a supervisor I'd frequently be up 16-18 hours per day. And I would do that for 45-60 days straight. Doing that for over 200 straight sounds like the stuff of nightmares. And they were doing that while being in a heightened sense of alert due to combat operations?

I have been the caregiver for my mother who was diagnosed with HSV1 encephalopathy.

The first 6 weeks I was in the hospital 24/7. Consistent sleep was impossible as at night she had antiviral IV bag changes every 4 hours. Vital checks every 2 hours. A blood draw at 3-4 AM every morning. And 3-4 bathroom trips that I'd have to assist her with. During the day I had to be awake to speak with her hospitalist, infectious disease dr, and neurologist as well her physical therapist, speech therapist, and occupational therapist as well as feed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner and make sure the nursing staff stuck to the bathing routine. This was all while trying to sleep in a hospital recliner.

Once she was healthy enough for a discharge my 24 hour watch continued for another 8 weeks at my house where I had to watch her every move. She became very paranoid and aggitable, generally didn't know who I was, had little concept of her environment/reality (loved to try and drink liquid handsoap), and often refused medication. I had to call the police on her twice for assistance because she got away from me, was convinced I was trying to kidnap her, and ran from me. I could physically catch her, but didn't want to injure her because she was fighting back.

I've had to move in with my father to help. He would be the primary caregiver but he was in the process of building their home, working full-time, and keeping up their 26 acre property which had just started developing into a farm/ranch when this occurred while also trying to figure out their finances since my mother handled literally everything.

Since moving to my father's I'm not only a caregiver for about 15 hours a day and thats been for about 3 months now. Admittedly she has gotten somewhat better. She doesn't fight me anymore, knows who I am, trusts me, and takes her meds but she still requires constant attention.

As of now she has antrgrade amnesia so I field questions like "where are we", "why can't I remember", and "am I getting better", literally, about 50 times a day and she is very sensitive to short and snippy answers.

All of that is to say sometimes adults have to put on their bigboy pants and get something done.

I wouldn't even make this comparison if these were front line soldiers. But they're living on, compared to were I'm living, a luxury ship. I haven't slept on a mattress in over 6 months.

It just started dying?

My father flipped houses in this state every 3-6 years for the last 30 years. Never had to sell it for 15-25% less than its appraisal value. Same for the strip mall he built.
