After careful consideration: Both American political parties are empty facades, they BOTH pander and if you vote for EITHER, might as well just twiddle your thumbs. Empty and meaningless. After all the political shenanigans...sanctuary cities, this weird unprecedented lock down over a virulent but overall harmless flu bug, WHO is ACTUALLY running this place?
Major corporations are running the country. The politicians have become mere figureheads. First one side is winning, then the people vote the opposite party is winning, but at the end of the day what we, the people want is the
LAST thing either party is concerned with. They are telling you what you want to hear. Change is only going to come from the grass roots level by people dedicated to exhausting all of their nonviolent legal and political avenues of redress, including, but not limited to: passive resistance, boycotting the system and supporting those of like mind; exiting the system, getting off the grid; civil disobedience (refusing to obey unconstitutional laws.)
The more you beg the government to help you, the more they are going to screw you. Sometimes you will have to support laws that, in the short term do not favor your position, but over the long haul will give you what you want. It's all about strategies and thinking as if you are fighting a bigger opponent. You take on a bigger opponent with political judo. You don't duke it out with someone bigger than you. You use their momentum against them. Government is not your friend on this subject.
Oh so it is the EVIL corporations again. Who the **** works in those corporations that you so despise? Egad man, you are the one who has fallen to the dark side.
Reagan pledges support for stalled immigration reform bill
It's President Reagan vs. House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill Jr. on immigration control. ''This country has lost control of its own borders,'' Mr. Reagan told his press conference Wednesday night. ''No country can sustain that kind of position.''
There are critics of the bill in civil liberties groups. Dale Frederick Swartz of the National Immigration, Refugee, and Citizenship Forum says: ''Mr. O'Neill was right in saying there is not a strong constituency for the approach taken in the Simpson-Mazzoli bill. Sponsors tried to do too much in one bill, so the politics became extremely complicated and no major interests were sufficiently satisfied to give it strong or unequivocal support.''
Instead of President Trump asking the Communist left that is in Congress, he knew they would lie, so he used his executive privilege to build the wall this country so needs.
You are overly simplistic in your straw man arguments and absolutely ignorant beyond any rational belief in your proposed "
solution." The president never has an Executive privilege to circumvent the legislature. There used to be an old saying that it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game." Well, the MAGA supporters are ignorant people that never understood that. They believe that you just "
win." You have a threefold problem with what you advocate:
1) We have three separate branches of government in this country and each of them are limited by the Constitution as to what their powers are. The United States Supreme Court claims that they are superior branch of government (see Marbury v. Madison.) So, they interpret and the
reinterpret the law - aka legislating from the bench. We were taught in school that if the laws needed to be changed, that was the job of Congress. Then you advocate making Trump some kind of demigod. If Congress don't give me what I want, I'll rule by Executive Fiat the Democrat Disinformation Artist rails. Ah, but one day, the
principle will not favor you - and I can guarantee you will not like the results
2) You cannot criminalize Liberty
3) As long as America remains the drug user capital of the world with more of its people in prison than any nation on the planet, foreigners will come here. A silly ass wall isn't going to stop them. Besides, most undocumented foreigners come here without papers come in via a proper process and overstay their visa. The wall is a panacea for people whose shoe size is bigger than their IQ.
If trying to ridicule me with straw man arguments is your thing, have at it. But, your side consistently loses the argument as can be measured by what the people in Washington Wonderland, District of Corruption believe - and in this case what the legislative branch believes and which direction they are going in today.
