I'm actually for separating families; that's a huge disincentive to illegal immigration.

I have friend going to Chicago, I hope the city doesn't "explode" for her sake.

This goes to show that people are getting pissed off at the left and realizing how corrupt they are.

I sure hope so. Like I said, they are supposed to work on our behalf not for their personal gain through breaking our backs.

My brother started purchasing the same stocks at Pelosi. He is doing quite well with his stocks. As soon as I get some cash, I will start doing the same.

I don't know that the left is any more/less corrupt (as in bought and paid for) than the right. What I do think is I can look at policy and see the results and the leftist policies are the ones negatively affecting me more than the conservative policies - part of that is I have kids in leftist schools and they'll probably be attending leftist colleges. This also goes beyond policy, there are lots of social impacts of leftist attitudes and again that's where I'm seeing a negative impact in my slice of the world. Somehow the left has gone so far off the rails that I voted straight red this election and philosophically, I'd say I lean more to the left (ie I believe in socialist medicine, socialist education system). However, all I have to do is look at what the leftist did to the college/university system and these self proclaimed socialist and communist have turned the college/university system into a massive cash grab and now they want the taxpayer to foot the bill. No pucking thanks.

The question is has the left learned??? I've seen some of the liberal pundits saying this election just proves men aren't ready to vote for a woman, whites won't vote for blacks, Hispanics won't vote black, etc. They can't see the simple fact that we've had 4 years of Trump, who was hamstrung with Covid vs 4 years of some amalgamation of Biden, Harris and Obama and we're choosing Trump. The left has deluded itself into believing that the only reason we aren't voting their way is because ~50% of the nation is some sort of -ist or -phobe. Unfortunately, for the DNC, they've bullied everybody they can with the name calling and it works out to less than 50% of the voting block.
