Why do we give welfare to any non citizen?

Also, why do we give welfare to any capable citizen?

Fedgov is so out of control the only way to beat it back into its box is to burn it down and start over.

Well, at least he's right about one thing - "this is about oil and regime change". Yes, yes it is. And I'm 100% supportive.

Massie should stick to fiscal matters.

None of this should sound surprising. We’ve seen this pattern surrounding virtually every move with this admin, especially tarriffs.


If we're going by history, odds are it was Nancy Pelosi.

If you think that kind of activity was purely coincidence, congrats, you’re the mark.

So it's clear - you believe that leading up to the action this morning, Hegseth bet on the polymarket that Maduro would be deposed before the end of January?

He’s also still letting info leak. Although I guess you could argue it’s not leaking if it’s done on purpose? Better word would be corrupt.

This is legitimately bad and has to end. If prediction markets are tipping off US military actions that puts people in danger and is a huge problem.

Yeah, someone watching the news and boats blowing up would have never had the thought that Maduro was on a slippery slope with Trump. :lol:

I'm alright with the 85k, but I want to see rigorous litmus testing on all applications, both new and renewals.

Rigorous? You know we're talking about the federal government, right?

You will never get anything but what we've had and it's silly to consider it could be changed. You're either for hoards of H1-Bs, thousands more than caps, overstaying visas, etc, or you're for shutting the whole program down. Permanent Washington gives us those options. Nothing in between.

I’d guess just the opposite will happen: now that Maduro is out, Venezuelans will return home. Maybe not in droves, but many will.

And they should be forced to if they don't voluntarily. There's no longer a reason for asylum now that Maduro has been removed.

Why charge him in New York?

I encourage Dems to vote to acquit him, order reparations be paid, and maybe award him US citizenship and voting rights for his trouble.
I think you're smarter than this, or are you speaking for the Chinese in this thread?

Does Taiwan being in China's sphere permit similar arguments from China?

I don't give a shite what China argues. This isn't a debate, Poindexter.

So you think the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan were good ideas

Does Venezuela being in our hemisphere and indeed 3-4 hrs away (by air) from the US make it different in comparison to Iraq/Afghanistan?

How is this going to be bad for Canada? Venezuela oil is thick and nasty, just like the oil sands in Alberta. Canada oil and gas service companies are prime to be the first in the country to rebuild oil production in Venezuela. I was a SME for PCP and continuous sucker rod, as well as rod lift. I worked with Canadians that were kicked out of the country when Chavez took over. I’m about to look up some people on LinkedIn I worked with and see what the prospects are for the next year working with companies based out of Edmonton.

Trump is in charge and Canadians have done everything they can think of to flick shite at him for ten solid years. That's how this will be bad for Canada.

We can be hopeful it will in fact “be different this time” but the track record is atrocious, and none of them were over in 24 hours.


Just one on that fig's list - Chile. Chile was much better off long-term with Allende deposed than it would have been under Marxist rule.

Any response from the Venezuelan government?

I think Trump said he was pleased.

It’s difficult for me to be sad about the results of decisions that Canada itself elected to pursue…. I have no more pity left to give.

No doubt. I'm not sad for Canadians. Canada used to be awesome to visit and was a good neighbor-country for the US.

Well said. It's sad to see what has happened to Canada.

That’s funny considering he voted along side democrats to pass Biden’s spending bills.

What's funny is someone making the argument that Massie isn't one of the best (for conservatives) on spending.

Kind of sums up Massie’s career.

Weird. You seriously think a house member should be sending his staff of 18 out across the country to investigate fraud. :lol:
