  1. Trump was the one that pulled out of the debate, what nonsense is this?

  2. Yup, not "border czar," not to "manage the border," but to negotiate with our neighbors to improve conditions in those countries, which she did.

  3. He cancelled it before blaming the other side for cancelling it. It's how he rolls. He never takes responsibility for his own actions.

  4.  @FeelingPeculiar  They seem to have gotten that stuff right, which parts specifically do you think they got wrong?

  5. She in fact was not.

  6. Lol, as if Trump reads his homework.

  7.  @edwardcuevas6974  She was never appointed "head of the border," that is the President and Secretary of Homeland Security. She was just assigned to negotiate with southern countries to help keep their people at home, which she did successfully.

  8. Where was she called "the border czar?" Look up the official White House release when she was appointed to negotiate on the border, no mention of that term.

  9.  @jasonyankovec8541  She did. Migrants from the countries she worked with have fallen over the years. There was never a path to completely cutting off immigration from those countries, if it were that easy then why didn't Trump do it while in office? Why did immigration go UP over his four year?

  10.  @DanielGibbons-v9k  It's impossible to "scrub references" like that. Members of the media called her that, it was never an official term.

  11. Mainstream media called her that. It was never an actual role she held.

  12.  @peterponcedeleon3368  Actually, we're mostly just selling off military surplus to Ukraine, and then buying newer, better replacement materials for the US military, making our own forces stronger and pumping billions into US companies and their employees. It's sort of a win-win scenario for the US. Why would we want to offload those benefits to Europe?

  13.  @Kg-yl5vy  You do understand that even if companies did move manufacturing back to the US, you would STILL be paying 2-3 times as much for those goods, right? The whole reason they wanted to outsource in the first place is because things are so much cheaper to produce overseas.

  14.  @playertwo1516  Tariffs are an economic tool. You don't use them at random, you use them at specific targets with specific goals in mind. In some cases a tariff is a good idea, because it protects an industry that we are already doing quite well, or it puts political pressure on the other country to make a political change that we want. But broad tariffs on consumer goods is not a good idea.

  15. You do realize that abortion and child care are some of the highest priority issues in this election, right?

  16.  @H43339  This is what they used to say about the Irish and Italians.

  17. Who said that?

  18. He gets it, he just doesn't care.

  19. About what?

  20.  @vavictus  Those are all American issues, since America lives in the same world as those other countries, and ignoring them causes future harm to America.

  21.  @calvinwood7120  What Fox News calls someone is not particularly relevant to anything. The point is that it was never her actual role.

  22.  @ItsJustMe-nq1dg  No, he did not, because it's not an actual government role. He gave her a specific job to do involving immigration, and she did it successfully. Look up the White House briefing for the day she was assigned. It's on their website.

  23.  @mattl2843  The only risk to the US credit score is Republican threats to default on our loans. Prior to that, the US had a perfect credit rating and could take out loans at almost zero interest.

  24. About what?

  25.  @KWCHope  People in the media calling her a "border czar" does not magically make it an actual title. The White House put out a press release on that day that explained what she was intended to do, and "manage the border" was not one of those things.

  26.  @H43339  We can afford to take in a lot more than we do, a fully settled immigrant provides more value to the US economy than they take. The only actual problem we face now is that we don't have the border judges available to process all these immigrants in a timely manner. This leaves most of them waiting around for trial dates, prevented by law from seeking work. If they could be processed into legal US residents, then they could start getting jobs and paying their own way in society. If you truly insist on keeping them out of the country though, I'm afraid that the only solution would be to improve the countries they came from to the point where they could stay there. Nobody WANTS to trek through hundreds of miles of inhospitable terrain, a journey that many die on, but they have literally no other option at the moment. Provide them a better option, and they'll stop coming. Until then, it's like the war on drugs, you can't fight the supply, you can only fight the demand.

  27. "Why are we not making hiring people whom do not have a right to work in our country a federal offense and if so enforcing those laws removing the incentive to come here. " This is already illegal. You would be changing nothing. "The asilum system was not put into place to allow millions of people to use it as a way to come here" It was created EXACTLY to allow people in need to come here, regardless of their numbers. If you believe too many people are applying for asylum, the solution is not to deny them safety here, the solution is to help ensure that they will be safe in their home countries. " It's no wonder Russia felt safe to attack Ukraine and later encouraged Iran to get Hamas to attack and now China feels embolden to take Taiwan. We are becoming the laughing stock of the world." Yes, four years under Trump and with MAGA Republicans filling congress have really caused damage to the US reputation around the world, but the Biden administration's stronger stance against Russia and China have put both countries on the back foot.

  28.  @JesusHammer  That's overly simplistic thinking for very complex problems. Become more mature.

  29. If you had looked it up, you would know that you are wrong.

  30.  @davidpulido2942  She was never appointed by the President to "handle the border."

  31.  @sethrich2790  Trump says a dozen more consequential lies before breakfast. If lies are what bother you, then Walz would at least be the better of the available options.

  34.  @webporta-1  We mostly don't send cash to Ukraine, we send surplus military hardware, which mostly goes back into US companies to refresh our own stockpiles with newer and better stuff. The same could not be said for a border wall. Besides which, people would just cross through/over/under any border wall, so it would not actually stop immigration. People will only go around when going around is a reasonable option. If there are no gaps, they will create their own.

  35.  @webporta-1  So, "war crimes" then. Yeah, that sounds like something dumb enough for a Republican to do it.

  36. Yeah, if not for good people in the government holding him back, Trump just would have done exactly what Putin asked.

  37.  @jeffreystarcher7007  Well obviously they couldn't have a live debate while he's being Typhoid Mary over there. Nobody wants to die.

  38.  @bobbiperry5422  That has nothing to do with anything. Biden was perfectly willing to debate, it was Trump that SAID he did not want to do a virtual debate, and there was no other option available once be became a spreader. Don't try to twist this into a Biden problem.

  39.  @ContinuousRefinement  The lie was the one about the cats and dogs. That was a lie. He and his boss kept repeating it.

  40. Nope. It remains something that only idiots believe in.

  41.  @webporta-1  That is not true either. You seem to believe a lot of untrue things. I wonder why that is? Poor education? Poor parenting? Poor ability to parse the news you take in?

  42.  @webporta-1  I'm not a member of the MAGA cult. I do not deny reality like they do, I accept it.

  43.  @jonSmith-xv6tx  The US national debt is not a problem. There are plenty of countries in the world with debt to GDP ratios many times higher than the US that are perfectly stable. The only thing that can threaten the US economy is Republican threats to default on those debts, which have harmed our credit rating considerably over the past few years, and could continue to do so. If you are concerned about America's debt, make sure to always vote Democrat.

  44.  @webporta-1  They aren't US states, but they are on the same planet as US states, and what happens in them can cause harm or benefits to US states, so it is in the interests of US states to keep them stable and functional.

  45.  @calvinwood7120  Then why did the White House never call her that? There was a whole speech talking about what her role would be, you can read the transcripts of it yourself, at no point is that term mentioned.

  46.  @rl192  Here is the direct quote from Biden on Mar 24, 2021: "In addition to that, there’s about five other major things she’s handling, but I’ve asked her, the VP, today — because she’s the most qualified person to do it — to lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle and the countries that help — are going to need help in stemming the movement of so many folks, stemming the migration to our southern border. . . . "And so, this increase has been consequential, but the Vice President has agreed — among the multiple other things that I have her leading — and I appreciate it — agreed to lead our diplomatic effort and work with those nations to accept re- — the returnees, and enhance migration enforcement at their borders — at their borders." You can read the full transcript for more, but again, he was only assigning her to meet with the leaders of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, to improve their countries in ways that would involve people staying there. And she succeeded at that.

  47.  @ItsJustMe-nq1dg  I have looked it up, that's how I know that it was never an official term. Look, I get it, when you're immersed in the swamp long enough, you believe that's all there is to the world, but come up for air!

  48.  @bunjijumper5345  They are not killing ducks either.

  49.  @bunjijumper5345  They might be. Why would you think that would make any difference? What we do know is that there is no actual evidence that it is happening, and what accounts have been made seem to be pranks.

  50.  @bunjijumper5345  Why do you keep bringing up the speaker's race?
