I agree, Republicans have zero desire to fix immigration because their Chamber of Commerce donors want cheap laber. It's why they fought against Trump so hard.
Trump owns the Republican party, he can make them do whatever he wants. The reason he didn't want to fix immigration is obvious: his own businesses continued to employ undocumented workers while he was president.

All socialists use capitalism to gain power. Even Bernie Sanders doesn't rail against millionaires any more ever since he became one. How'd that happen? That's right, he sold a book using capitalism.
It's clear you don't even understand the concept of socialism, as personal profit doesn't run contrary to it in any way. Every working class citizen would be far richer after gaining ownership over a portion of the means of production.

Capitalism does not create scarcity.
The statistics for homelessness and starvation within the US would beg to differ.

You're right though, Ukraine wasn't in the top 100 corrupt countries in the 1970's, 80's or 90's. But they are now.
The panama papers were a product of the 2010s, almost nothing has changed since then. Nice try though.

SC Hur has many ties to the Democrat Party.
Yeah yeah...anybody who doesn't have a Trump flag flying in their front yard and a swastika tattoo on their chest must be the enemy. There is no pleasing Republicans because there are no moderate Republicans left. So maybe you're right and the DOJ should've just investigated both men themselves. Garland's record is about as non-partisan as it can possibly get anyway. Too bad he's so spineless.

The commander in chief doesn't have to ask permissions from people under him.
The branches of government are all equal as far as checks and balances go, "unitary executive theory" is an authoritarian wet dream and nothing more. You'd know this if you had ever taken a civics or social studies class at school.

We are seeing it right now with Biden.
What has Biden declassified that was objectively damaging to the nation? Oh right, nothing.

It's weird that those people flying those flags are always plants.
Says the guy whose own avatar is evocative of nazi symbolism.

We are a social democracy too. I'm told this all the time.
There's a certain baseline for social democracy which we don't even come close to reaching. Universal healthcare, for starters. Programs to try to prevent homelessness and starvation, in place of corporate welfare, would also be a necessity.

Not sure what QAnon is but Q has never made posted about Biden and the 25th Amendment.
So you're saying your prediction is too batshit crazy for even that group of loonies to get on board with, got it.

He didn't back when he was in office. Show proof he hired illegal aliens.

What homelessness and starvation? We're sending billions to Ukraine.
The panama papers were a product of the 2010s, almost nothing has changed since then. Nice try though.
Do you think they only covered the 2010s, or did they cover previous decades? Damn dude, think.

You support nazis, lol

I"m not talking about the other branches of government. I'm talking about the IC, which is ran from the executive branch, by the president.

Biden couldn't declassify anything at all as vice president. There in lies the problem. We don't even know what these documents pertain to except for Ukraine (surprise), Iran and England.

We have many programs to prevent homelessness and starvation. Universal healthcare is a shitty option. States have tried it and failed.

I'm saying you don't know what you are talking about with Q. You've never read a single post. You always bring up subjects which you are ignorant about and that you can't back up what you are saying.

I think I'm gonna take a break from you for while. You are purposely trying to poison the conversation here and I'm not gonna indulge you any longer.

Several undocumented workers weren't fired until early 2019, three years into his term as president.

As if the CIA would ever allow socialism within South America to go without sabotage for any period of time. Being that you yourself already gave an example of a social democracy being preferable to our current system, you can obviously recognize the potential benefits there.

And? You act like this is the first time we've prioritized the military industrial complex over the welfare of our own citizens. We were in Afghanistan and Iraq for nearly twenty years, with absolutely nothing to show for it.

Do you think they only covered the 2010s, or did they cover previous decades? Damn dude, think.
The money had been hoarded over decades, but that doesn't change where it was sitting in the the 2010s, nor where it continues to sit now. Ukraine's laws do not make for a good tax haven. Damn dude, think.

Moronic. I support a nation's right to defend itself from imperialist invaders. I do not support any group's attempt to institute authoritarian rule.

I"m not talking about the other branches of government. I'm talking about the IC, which is ran from the executive branch, by the president.
The intelligence cycle consists of no less than ten different departments, all with roles to play when it comes to declassification of documents. The president is PART of it, he is not the end-all be-all. You would not want that same ridiculous amount of power solely in the hands of Biden, so stop trying to argue for it in the hands of Trump.

Biden couldn't declassify anything at all as vice president.
And Trump didn't go through the process of declassifying the documents he tried to hide. In both cases it was not the act of moving the documents which was suspect or criminal, it was the fact that they weren't returned at the appropriate time.

This is not nazi symbolism you fool. It's a military psyop group. lol
A military psyop group with a nazi fetish, then.

We have many programs to prevent homelessness and starvation. Universal healthcare is a shitty option. States have tried it and failed.
We have more empty houses than homeless, and more food that gets thrown out daily than would be necessary to feed the starving. No such programs exist, or these would not be issues of note within the US. Americans very commonly travel out of country to receive the benefits of universal healthcare, which has been successfully implemented in nearly every other developed nation.

I'm saying you don't know what you are talking about with Q.
Yeah you got me, I'm not too invested in the ramblings of a drug-addled internet rando. The handle likely doesn't even belong to the same person it started with at this point.

I think I'm gonna take a break from you for while. You are purposely trying to poison the conversation here and I'm not gonna indulge you any longer.
We've definitely reached the limits of what we're gonna agree on here. You started strong by realizing both parties share some parts of an agenda, but now you've been reverting back to defending the status quo and certain figureheads as if they aren't in on the grift.

So he does what every other business does. And it got taken care of.
As if the CIA would ever allow socialism within South America to go without sabotage for any period of time. Being that you yourself already gave an example of a social democracy being preferable to our current system, you can obviously recognize the potential benefits there.
I never said it was preferable.
And? You act like this is the first time we've prioritized the military industrial complex over the welfare of our own citizens. We were in Afghanistan and Iraq for nearly twenty years, with absolutely nothing to show for it.
Yeah, the uniparty voted for both of those wars and the Patriot Act. But you still want to play team sports like a good little lemming.
The money had been hoarded over decades, but that doesn't change where it was sitting in the the 2010s, nor where it continues to sit now. Ukraine's laws do not make for a good tax haven. Damn dude, think.
I never said Ukraine was a tax haven. I said it is the perfect place for money laundering. Please learn to read and understand words and try to refrain from putting words in my mouth. It's frustrating.

You are supporting authoritarian rule by nazis.

Biden does have that power right now. He didn't when he was vice president, but he does now.

In Biden's case, it was the act of moving the documents, not once, but twice since vice presidents do not have declass authority. Not to mention that many documents are sitting in a building at Penn State paid for by the CCP. The other docs are in a house that Hunter pays pops $50k a month in rent. Odd that rental property was not listed on Biden's taxes.

You want to call our military nazis while supporting real nazis in Ukraine. I try not to curse here, but shut the f up you f'in traitorous idiot.

There were many empty houses in Martha's Vineyard and the residents there still deported those poor immigrants.

Then why do you bring up subjects you know nothing about? Only a drug-addled internet rando would do that.

You've regressed to playing team sports on two threads and you want to try and gaslight me with this blatant projection? Ffs, you really suck at this. If I were you, I'd go read more and comment less.
