  1. I'm tired of hearing about the Jan 6 show trial.

  4. It works where it was built, but Brandon stopped construction.

  7.  @franciscojuarez4994  "Illegal immigration in one area of Texas has dropped more than 80 percent thanks to the new border wall system that includes multiple layers of fencing, roads, lights, and extra personnel, the acting commissioner of Customs and Border Protection Mark Morgan told Congress on Thursday. Speaking at the House Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee on the Fiscal Year 2021 budget, Morgan said, “We’ve seen apprehensions and illegal entries and gotaways all being reduced by over 80% in that 20-mile stretch,” referring to a portion of the wall near El Paso, Texas".

  8.  @franciscojuarez4994  Agreed. I try to be polite and respectful if I'm treated fairly. I guess I should try to be polite and respectful regardless, but it's difficult sometimes. I agree with everything you said. I love immigrants who want to come here and build a life and make our nation better. Have a good night and thanks for the constructive dialogue.

  12.  @donaldbush1182  It wasn't done, it was still being constructed when Brandon stole the election.

  13.  @The00Dude  What is wrong with you people? Do you not follow anything besides MSDNC? The wall was being constructed until Jan 20, 2021. Immediately upon Brandon's swearing in to his illegitimate office, he issued an EO permanently ceasing construction.

  14.  @quirk8841  A state can secede if it wants. The question is, does the US government want to start a war with a state that votes to secede. Laws mean nothing unless the state has the will and the power to enforce them.

  15.  @quirk8841  LOL

  16.  @franciscojuarez4994  It's working in the areas it was built, but it wasn't finished. Joe Biden stopped construction. It's not rocket science to understand such a simple concept.

  17.  @franciscojuarez4994  Thanks for the information, I looked it up to confirm your claim and you are correct. Seems they need to do a better job of monitoring the border to catch those attempting to breach it. The wall was never designed as a one size fits all solution, it is part of a system, the wall being a force multipler. Unfortunately, with the current invasion, BP doesn't have the resources to monitor the border wall. Almost 500 miles of wall and 3200 breaches over 3 years, that's more than I would expect, 2 breaches per mile per year is a lot, but that shows the wall could be more effective if they had the resources to support it.

  18.  @shenzhendrake2429  In 1941 there were only a dozen democracies in the world. Today there are more than 100. For four centuries prior to 1950, global GDP rose by less than 1 percent a year. Since 1950 it has risen by an average of 4 percent a year, and billions of people have been lifted out of poverty. The first half of the 20th century saw the two most destructive wars in the history of mankind, and in prior centuries war among great powers was almost constant. But for the past 60 years no great powers have gone to war. This is the world America made when it assumed global leadership after World War II. Would this world order survive if America declined as a great power? Some American intellectuals insist that a “Post-American” world need not look very different from the American world and that all we need to do is “manage” American decline. But that is wishful thinking. If the balance of power shifts in the direction of other powers, the world order will inevitably change to suit their interests and preferences. Take the issue of democracy. For several decades, the balance of power in the world has favored democratic governments. In a genuinely post-American world, the balance would shift toward the great power autocracies. Both China and Russia already protect dictators like Syria’s Bashar al-Assad. If they gain greater relative influence in the future, we will see fewer democratic transitions and more autocrats hanging on to power. -Robert Kagan

  19.  @shenzhendrake2429  Just curious, what do you think Kim Jong Un, the Iranian leader, Putin, Assad, or Maduro would do if any one of them had command and control over the current military and economic might of the United States? I won't deny the sins of the US government, but I cannot agree that all other nations are innocent, and that the United States is solely responsible for all the world's ills. I want to know the truth, and I think the truth is far more complex and nuanced than anti-imperialists like Chomsky and Blum want to admit.

  21.  @seonaidoriada1013  It's absolutely deliberate. Incompetency at this level is not possible unless it's intentional.
