Why should I?  The always truth-telling President told me during his campaign "Unemployment is a totally phony number.”  He also told me "nobody has jobs. … It is not a real economy. It is a phony set of numbers. They cooked the books.”

MAGA!!!!!!

Take a moment to read this and the accompanying report from Northcom.


https://www.newsweek.com/trump-administration-migrant-caravan-border-troops-1196855

Wonder how many of those surplus store morons have ancestors who were refugees of some kind.  IIRC Mom Jones had a good feature on some group like the Minutemen, an undercover reporter going along with them on one of their ineffective and pointless border patrols.  Overweight carpet salesmen roasting marshmallows and feeling vigilant.

Red used to patiently explain to us (he is a "teacher" after all) that huge deficits were the product of those "socialist cocksuckers" in Washington.

Trump says this process opens the door for too many uneducated, under-qualified, and possibly dangerous, immigrants to legally enter the U.S. He has been hammering that point ever since police arrested a 27-year-old man accused of setting off a pipe-bomb in a commuter tunnel near Times Square in December. That suspect, Akayed Ullah, has been living in Brooklyn since 2011 after entering the country on an F-4 visa, which is granted to brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews of U.S. citizens.



This is perfectly ok with Democrats

But Bracamontes was first deported during the Clinton administration and later slipped back into the U.S. during the George W. Bush administration, according to federal documents obtained by the Sacramento Bee.

Right.  Bush couldnt stop him from coming back in

Bracamontes initially entered the country illegally in 1993 and was deported in 1997 following a drug sentence. He was back in the country a year later and arrested on another drug charge in Phoenix but was released for “unknown reasons” under Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s custody and continued to live in the U.S.



Unknown reasons?  You're a reporter.  You know everything - except when you want to conveniently leave something out

He was deported again following another drug charge in 2001 and returned soon after to marry in the U.S. during the Bush administration, the Bee reported. He killed the deputy and detective 13 years later.



Nothing Bush/Republicans could have prevented

As I said - there has to be a two strikes/three strikes sentencing guidline when it comes to men/women being deported and returning multiple times.

But no - this would be too harsh, right - as like with the drug users/possessors the crime is not one of aggression.

heh

Nov2, 2018

Labor Department data showed the U.S. added 250,000 jobs in October, above forecasts of 188,000. The unemployment rate held steady at 3.7%. Average-hourly earnings rose 3.1% from a year earlier, the best pay raises in nearly a decade.

So naturally, Republicans are closing out critical midterm races by focusing on their great record on this economy, right?

No?

I missed where you said this.  I also missed where it was dismissed by anyone as being too harsh.  Let alone the Democratic politicians Trump blames in this ad, when the killer in question was released under a guy pardoned by Trump, and reintegrated into the US under Bush.

Nothing Bush/Republicans could have prevented

But when Trump points the finger at Democrats, you are good with that.

yeah...

You think they need to point out the obvious?
Although the words of Reagan could have been repeated more often.

Yes. The country is on a proper track after (almost) 2 Trump years.

Let's hope we see it after EIGHT - and the work is not cut short just because 65 million of you just don't think Donald is a nice man.

Well, When Pelosi and Company take over the House I’m sure they will address spending.

So politicians never run on a good economic record because that would be pointing out the obvious?

As Democrats revisit 2008, when all was well (turning again to healthcare, really?)

We can be sure that when the Democrats take over that spending will suddenly become a problem for you again.
