Any idea how many people who voted for Trump now regret their choice?

If Trump was president in the 1930’s and 40’s, which side would he have been on in WWII?

I heard Jason Miller interviewed yesterday bragging that inflation was under 2% during Trump’s first term. Wasn’t there a pandemic that ground our economy to halt then? Didn’t Biden have to clean up Trump’s mess in his first couple of years?

Sickens me how duplicitous Republicans are. Democracy clearly means nothing to them. Only winning does.

I’d much rather read Stephen King’s “The Institute…” for a second time! than grade my essays, but I’ll be good. I want them done today.

Wait, I saw this in the Louvre

Not my idol. Not a big fan of Al Quada, but this world will be a better place without Assad.

What??? Syrian rebels have apparently renewed the civil war and seem to be advancing on Aleppo! I thought this was done!

Grading update! Made it through 3 of 4 SAQ’s, starting on the 4th. Still have the essays, but I’ll settle for finishing the SAQ’s over the thanksgiving break.

Right!

Get ready for the billions in federal subsidies they’ll get to compensate for their losses.

I’m curious why someone felt the need to note the religion of the judge.

Yes. And cheaper products and services that we pay for.

Mexico? Every country in Central America?

I obviously do not know your background. My point was that the descendants of involuntary migrants are the only ones, compared to the descendants of voluntary migrants, who have the moral authority to object to immigration at this time.

Was she the only woman killed by an immigrant? Were there any women killed last year by U.S. citizens?

Ooohh!! Let’s not put two and two together!

There was pork in a senate bill?

I have seen nothing indicating immigrants commit any more crimes than citizens.

Just a guess, but do American citizens actually want the jobs immigrants are stealing?

Those are the costs, which I wonder about. But what is the value they contribute in the form of wage labor and entrepreneurship?

Is it because they’re powerless and easy to demonize?

True, when there really was no one else here.

I’m guessing your ancestors did not come here voluntarily either. You, on the other hand, may actually have the right to say no to new immigrants.

That’s the part that gets me. Why do we have the right to tell immigrants they can’t come when our own ancestors are here because people said they could come?

How Democrats Lost Their Base and Their Message Donald Trump’s populist pitch bumped Democrats off their traditional place in American politics.

“ Democrats became the party of institutions, the national security apparatus, norms and, ultimately, the status quo — not change.”

Is this true?

Dividing the electorate into three groups, two of them will be predictably happy or unhappy with the next four years. I think the third may regret the decision they made that elected what could be the worst president ever.

First post-Twitter! Anyone interested in politics, mainly, and the progress of my essay grading can hopefully find both here in the near future. And yup, someone (I think I know who) left their flosser on my classroom floor! Gross!
