Bear Pit: now the sole domicile of politics at LuLa

[digitaldog]

Man, that's so rich!

Warning: Troll bait.

[TechTalk]

The occasional "contributions" from Frans are so weak that I think you're elevating them from what they deserve to be called which is inconsequential.

[TechTalk]

Are you still trolling about bullshit voter fraud? Move on, would you, that ship sailed a long time ago. You're embarrassing yourself.

Naturally. It's a never ending merry-go-round that always comes back around to one talking point or another. Wake me up when it stops at the imaginary Keystone XL pipeline again. The facts are so simple and clear, and it's come up so often, I can just copy and paste a previous recitation of them.

I expect this prayer in school ruling is going to get interesting. I bet the Satanic Temple will be all over this.
What will happen if the high school coach leads a 50 yard line prayer to Allah?

Looking forward to the Pagan rituals on the 50-yard line as well. The Native American Church can introduce high school kids to their religious ceremonies using the hallucinogen peyote. Relax and enjoy everyone, this is going to be fun for the whole family. Of course, it will be intermixed with an occasional pray-the-gay-away idiot, but that would be a good opportunity to go get some halftime snacks and a dose of that peyote tea you learned about during halftime at the previous game.

Stephen Colbert's monologue re Hutchison's testimony https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGNVG5XS4-U.

I like the bit towards the end where Flynn takes the fifth on whether or not he believes in the peaceful transfer of power. Politicians the world over haven't always covered themselves in glory but this shit show is spectacularly repulsive.

Trump was ok with bringing weapons into the Capitol because they wouldn't be aimed at him! Are you kidding me?

[TechTalk]

Oh.  That’s what it was all about.  It wasn’t murder at all, it was all about mayo.  Phew!  Thanks for clearing that up for us.

Yeah... Thanks for clearing that up. It was just one more in an endless number of posts pretending to reply to something that was never said.

[Alan Klein]

Your ignorance is laughable. American businesses have been smuggling in cheap migrant workers for well over a century. "Biden's policies" are a minor historical footnote, at best.

Alan, stop watching Tucker, he's a con, not even a very good one. Are you worried about being "replaced"? We're all going to die, we're all going to be replaced.

Biden opened the floodgates to illegal immigration.  Here's what Americans, not Canadians, think.

Just 11 percent strongly approve of Biden’s handling of immigration, which likely represents the very floor of the president’s support. An additional 23 percent somewhat approve of the job that Biden is doing on immigration, for an overall approval rating of 34 percent.

An average of all polls show Biden's overall approval at 35.3%.  Disapproval at 58.5%.

More people around here need a sense of humor.

A Much higher approval level than Alan Klein on LuLa.

More people around here need a sense of humor. 

One person here needs a bloody clue and an exit from his unreality bubble.

[Alan Klein]

Oh please. If the law had been upheld, then these people voting would have been perfectly legal so there would be nothing to "protect" against. WHen you say " Republicans are so concerned about protecting the vote" you mean "protecting against Democratic votes."

But the rule passed by Democrats to stuff the ballot boxes with non-citizens voting democrat, was found illegal.  NY law clearly states only citizens can vote.  Democrats were again trying to stuff the ballot boxes.  This is why Republicans are so suspicious of democrats who want to do away with all voting rules.  They're always working on trying to cheat and figure out new ways to do it. 

[Alan Klein]

Until Americans quit hiring the undocumented, illegal immigration will persist.  The problem predates the current administration by decades and is caused by poorly regulated capitalism, not Biden.

I agree that's part of the problem.  But it was aggravated in the last year and a half by Biden opening up the floodgates.

[Alan Klein]

Certain rights are too important to be left to the states. They must be guaranteed to all Americans. Remember the civil rights era when the Republicans were using "states' rights" to stir up votes from segregationists? The translation of this is that Mississippi, Alabama, etc should be allowed to continue to discriminate against blacks. The basic right for a woman to control her own body is one of those rights.

Then those states will democratically pass laws to allow it. I thought you believe in democracy?

Center for Immigration Studies (cis.org)

Founded in 1985 by John Tanton, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) has gone on to become the go-to think tank for the anti-immigrant movement with its reports and staffers often cited by media and anti-immigrant politicians. CIS’s much-touted tagline is “low immigration, pro-immigrant,” but the organization has a decades-long history of circulating racist writers, while also associating with white nationalists....

While CIS and its position within the Tanton network have been on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) radar for years, what precipitated listing CIS as an anti-immigrant hate group for 2016 was its repeated circulation of white nationalist and antisemitic writers in its weekly newsletter and the commissioning of a policy analyst who had previously been pushed out of the conservative Heritage Foundation for his embrace of racist pseudoscience. These developments, its historical associations and its record of publishing reports that hype the criminality of immigrants are why CIS is labeled an anti-immigrant hate group....

History

The Center for Immigration Studies, like the rest of the organized anti-immigrant movement we see in America today, was founded by the late John Tanton, a Michigan ophthalmologist turned population-control alarmist whose racist beliefs stirred him to create a network of organizations with a simple agenda: heavily restricting the immigration levels to the United States in order to maintain a white majority. As Tanton wrote in 1993, “I’ve come to the point of view that for European-American society and culture to persist requires a European-American majority, and a clear one at that.”

Biden opened the floodgates to illegal immigration.  ...

Really? He opened the floodgates! Give it a rest.

[Frans Waterlander]

Really? He opened the floodgates! Give it a rest.

Yes he did. Last month authorities at the southern border intercepted ~250,000 people illegally crossing the border and the they estimate ~50,000 got across the border illegally and evaded the authorities. That's a floodgate in any reasonable person's book. And he flies thousands upon thousands of those illegals secretly across the country every month. Floodgate anyone?

[digitaldog]

Give it a rest.

He can't. Here's a main reason why (and why some are his enablers):
https://www.agingcare.com/articles/how-to-handle-a-clingy-senior-163600.htm

“My elderly mother wants constant attention!”
“Dad follows me everywhere and I can’t get a moment alone to myself.”
“Since my husband’s stroke, I’m his only source of care and companionship. It’s really wearing on me, but he refuses all other caregivers.”

You'd think unlike the last guy who posted here (and doesn't have a photo hobby), Alan would find his limited time better spent honing that skill.

[TechTalk]

And he flies thousands upon thousands of those illegals secretly across the country every month.

If it's secret then you wouldn't know now would you? Now, put down your 007 secret decoder ring and eat your lunch. It's your favorite... baloney!

Seriously? I begin to believe Digital Dog's comments about your mental ability.
