You've got nothing, and you never have.

Your are analogous to a vending machine.

Someone puts something in, and you puke out the same nonsense.

Totally political.

Void of any knowledge, context, experience, insight or judgement, or even periods at the end of sentences.

 

Just a senseless, vacuous, thoughtless machine.

A random error generator that generates every time.

 

Illegal aliens are "asylum seekers."

Sure.

One problem is this administration is applying the definition and criteria for "asylum seekers", which is someone fleeing political persecution, to 100's of thousands that are in reality crossing the border seeking economic opportunity.  The political persecution angle is like a free pass as the economic criteria is harder to meet.  Obviously, Biden's administration knows this is a blatant misrepresentation.

And apparently all of the THOUSANDS of got away immigrants just weren’t paying attention in asylum seeker class. 😂😂

Looks like someone sabotaged Nordstream pipelines 

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/9/27/qa-what-is-known-so-far-about-the-nord-stream-gas-pipeline-leak

President Biden stated in February that if Russia invaded Ukraine there would be no nord stream 2.  Now both just blew up.

Was this the USA?  Did Europe blow them up to prevent public outcry to buy gas from Russia come winter?  

 Russia doesn't need to blow up their pipelines to shut them down, they control the spigot, so seems like it would be a different actor.

I agree, though Biden was sending boats back to Cuba for some reason.  Everyone else is welcome.  That's weird stuff.

There are people from dozens of countries, maybe more, I lost count.  Some from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East that traveled to Mexico to walk across the border.  They're seeking better economic conditions, not fleeing political oppression.

You are truly a study in nonsense.

 

It doesn't matter what your view of what is worth seeking asylum from.

 

Being oppressed by governments that were elected does not tip the "asylum" scale.

 

The reality is that the US cannot afford to take in every single individual who does not have the courage to effect governmental change in their own countries.

Such a policy is suicide, and it is playing out.

 

You don't get that.

I get that you don't get that, but that is absolute reality.

Been some buzz on twitter about this. looks like Russian forces are being pinched out of another important point

Can’t understand why Russians don’t want to fight “Bidens” war, right @Big Blitz?

I hear Trump has said he wants to mediate between Putin and Ukraine. Probably just wants to meet Putin to pass on contents of those empty folders 

 

Meanwhile, Biden sends fascist killing weapons

1. Can I see a source for this?

 

2. He should send Robert Lighthizer instead. That guy actually had the skill to sniff out the weaknesses of someone's negotiating position, then mercilessly take advantage of them. Lighthizer was tying the Chinese in knots while Trump was suckered by Russia's bluffs and threats.

No longer "Putin is a genius" or "Putin just wants to be our friend" 

 

End this embarrassment now! But don't call on Putin to leave Ukraine? 

 

 

[sherpa]

In my considered view, we are watching the end of Putin.

 

Thanks to the American taxpayer, and American intelligence capability, which seems to be clearly leading to Ukrainian success.

 

No thanks to NATO.

Come on now. There's quite a bit of difference between Eastern European NATO member actions, and Central European NATO member actions. Eastern Europe is donating it's Soviet era weapons hand over fist, and repairing damaged Ukrainian gear in leftover Soviet factories. The Poles gave Ukraine practically their entire Soviet era tank fleet for free. Your takes are usually solid, but this one is trash.

Shame.  But we're still on track for WWIII by March 2024

 

 

 

President Vladimir V. Putin will sign agreements on Friday for the Russian Federation to take over four Ukrainian territories, the Kremlin said on Thursday, outlining plans to annex the regions after referendums that were widely denounced as a sham.

 

Dmitri S. Peskov, the Kremlin’s spokesman, also said Mr. Putin would make a speech at the Kremlin.

 

As the Kremlin prepared a show designed to present a sheen of legitimacy to its annexation, the authorities in Moscow put up billboards and a giant video screen in Red Square and announced road closures for Friday. State media described it as preparations for a rally and concert “in support of the outcome of the referendums.”

 

The annexation move has been greeted with international condemnation, and Ukraine has essentially ignored the Kremlin’s plans. Kyiv’s forces have pressed on with a counteroffensive that has enabled them to retake territory in the northeast of the country this month and make inroads into Donetsk and Luhansk, two of the regions where referendums were held.
