In the long term, it will be harmful to the housing market, because the greater debt transferred to the federal government from students will increase borrowing rates, and the increased number of ignorant young people flooding the market to claim their share of the American Dream will increase home prices, costing them more money.

In the final debate, Biden said that Obama was the one who built the cages, not him.
Well, Biden just named Cecilia Muñoz, Obama’s immigration advisor who defended separating children from their families, and then caging and deporting them, to his transition team.
Remember that Obama deported more immigrants in his first term than Trump did. And Biden was right by his side for 8 years.
Those who voted D, because Trump was mean to immigrants, just got played.
Again.
@34 Looks to me like you’re the one who’s being played.
“Trump’s false claim that child separations were carried out by the Obama administration has been frequently refuted. ‘The Obama administration did not do that, no. We did not separate children from their parents,’ former Obama domestic policy adviser Cecilia Muñoz told NPR in May 2018. ‘This is a new decision, a policy decision put in place by the attorney general,’ which Muñoz said ‘puts us in league with the most brutal regimes in the world’s history.’ It was then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions who instituted the ‘zero tolerance’ policy at the Southern border in April 2018, which resulted in children being separated from their parents who were taken into custody for criminal prosecution.”
https://www.npr.org/2019/04/09/711446917/fact-check-trump-wrongly-states-obama-administration-had-child-separation-policy
P.S., Oh, and if you voted for Trump in 2016, you’re a guilty party, because your vote helped make this brutal policy a reality.
P.P.S., it wasn’t Biden who called Mexicans “rapists” or threatened to shoot migrants at the border. If you voted for Trump in 2016, you voted for that, too.
It’s good to think that a fucking troll is betting against The Fuck Hump from ever having a second false sitting in the Whiteyhouse otherwise his or it’s comments wouldn’t be hedging his bet that Biden is President and instead he would taunt with a different approach.
Repukes have fucked over this Country for along time now, starting a couple decades ago. Tea anyone? The country will not be the same. I think the healing process could begin by having TexAss succeed from the Union and build a big wall at the border, so they keep their germs people inside the walls.
Is it ever any wonder why they always make the threats but never do it.
34,
If we were as dumb as you, we’d also believe in invisible subterranean baby cannibalism dungeons.
The humane policies implemented with Munoz’s input generally did not separate families at all, except and only in very limited cases where trafficking was suspected. Families, when they were detained at all, were kept together and housed in family detention facilities.
The Domestic Policy Council of which Munoz was Director (DHS Sec. Johnson oversaw immigration enforcement) worked through an array of policy alternatives to present to the White House during the surge of unaccompanied minors that peaked in 2014. Under a court settlement from the previous century DHS continued to limit detention of both accompanied and unaccompanied minors to 20 days. Unaccompanied minors were released to foster families after that.
The Domestic Policy Council never officially considered “zero tolerance”, although Director Munoz has said the idea was briefly considered among a small number of options all considered “grotesque” and “beyond the pale of any civilized nation”.
The idea of criminalizing all border crossings and building a system of baby prisons in which to warehouse thousands of children while their parents were being deported without them as a “deterrent” was never even among the policy options discussed.
But that is in fact the policy that Trump/GOP support even to this day.
It’s time for Trolls4Trump to face some realities. As a party, as a movement, and as a “collective ideology” you’ve all moved so far beyond the bounds of rational, decent human regard that these kinds of idiotic lies, however powerful they may be among your tribe, have no impact or meaning elsewhere. The belief you cling to, that you can sow doubt among Democrats with these fables is frankly laughable. In this most recent election cycle you have clearly captured the hearts and minds of every low-information voter available to you.
You have them now. Go forth to wherever it is that you go, and share your wealth of stupidity and crude “both-siderism” among yourselves where it may do you some good reinforcing the failing cult belief system. Posting such nonsense here can have but one effect: to further reinforce the now well established instinct among all intelligent voters to ignore all claims made by Trumpalos.

Another idiot gets Covid…
Trump-loving pastor catches COVID-19 after insisting Christians ‘don’t have to’ catch COVID-19
Perhaps a Bible lesson is in order.
Matthew 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
I think immigration policy, and in particular “zero tolerance” provides a very useful example of how American conservatism has transformed itself in the last decade or so.
Setting aside all the rank hypocrisy and general lying, there are some policy inflection points where modern American conservatives sincerely believe they are pursuing a rational and ethical agenda. Immigration is one example. Starting from the assertion that “presence” within the US without either citizenship or authorizing documents constitutes a criminal violation, the GOP “zero tolerance” policy concludes that all such persons are criminal offenders and shall be prosecuted.
They support this conclusion by arguing that if the laws that “secure” the borders and the legal framework that defines our sovereign borders are not held entirely, 100% intact at all times and in all instances then sovereign borders become relatively meaningless. From this they then argue that the very idea of a sovereign nation becomes meaningless. And then eventually conclude that without a “zero tolerance” policy we cease to be The United States of America and risk losing all of whatever rights, privileges, and benefits that entails. Our nationhood itself, they claim, is at stake when it comes to “zero tolerance”.
It’s a fairly direct, and simplistic argument. But it is at least based on reason. The conclusions they draw may be incorrect and argued against. The starting premises may be tremendously flawed. But the method of reasoning itself is not unsound. But is it in fact ethical?
It’s hard to say at times, especially from a modern conservative’s point of view, since they seem to ignore a lot of the ethical considerations. But if pressed they often declare that whatever ethical problems might entail from “zero tolerance” are swept aside by the danger of “open borders”. At this point the argument, and the reasoning behind it, becomes very bad faith. Obviously positioning “open borders” against “zero tolerance” is a rationally flawed and bad faith argument. Whether presented as false dichotomy or slippery slope, it just isn’t true at all.
But beyond the collapse of reasoning, the ethical paradigm described rests on that same flawed reasoning. The Obama administration approach to the surge of refugees and unaccompanied minors at the southern border did not imperil United States national sovereignty or even threaten it. The math alone simply denies this. Always has. To whatever extent our national “destiny” or “self-direction” is influenced or interfered with by non-citizens, it is clearly far more influenced by other sources, like foreign investment, foreign debt finance, foreign lobbying, and foreign spending on dark money campaign PACs.
Ignoring the fundamentally unethical consequences of “zero tolerance” is not justified by “open borders” nor would it be if that were even a real thing. Modern conservatives delight in “reluctantly” implementing family separation and baby prisons is driven by something else. The grotesque cruelty the policy implemented clearly weighs upon some conservatives. So they struggle to justify it with fabrications of both-siderism and reiterations of defenses of “national sovereignty”.
But I think it’s more about a culture that has come to feel so threatened that conservatives have managed to deny the humanity of the people, including infants and small children, being tortured by the policy they support. Something is sufficiently threatening to them that they feel they can justify this cruelty. And that’s why we consistently see the close nexus between this demand for “tougher” immigration enforcement and the rise and embrace of ultra right wing nativist, nationalist and white nationalist groups.
It’s crucial for Democrats to keep this in mind when debating issues like these with modern conservatives. They sincerely see their position as being the more ethical one. And they sincerely see the liberal position as being unethical. How they get there is key to unraveling their arguments in favor of cruelty and torture. Even when we successfully sweep aside fake claims of both-siderism, as seen above with troll S. Cohen at 34, it’s certain that this troll’s sense of ethical superiority remains intact.
S. Cohen is entirely incorrect, however, if he/she assumes (without any evidence) that a few thousand asylum seekers threaten our national sovereignty. It’s been a phony claim from the get-go. These people present themselves yearning to assimilate and become part of that national sovereignty. Their only agenda is to change themselves, not the United States. Compare that to the average Proud Boy member, devoted to a retrograde transformation of American culture, who rejects basic constitutional principles in favor of authoritarianism and who opposes free elections in favor of a reverence of fascists. Where’d they get such an idea?

Dumb questions as always dot bombed.
Meanwhile the DCCC is blaming Facebook and Google for their blue wave anti-tsunami. dummocretins have certainly won 221 seats, losing seven so far to wimens and one to a proud black retired football player, while Republicans have 209 seats so far with 5 hanging in the balance. Based on votes so far dummocretins will have a max of 224 [prolly 223]. That is a major loss based on those Da Perfessa polls with the Senate going 54 dummocretins and House +5 for dummocretins.
Really DCCC? Facebook deplatforms anyone not toting the dummocretin line and Zuckerberg discussed that yesterday. Google algorithms reduce your presence if you are conservative. Whistleblowers told us how Google does it all the time. So for dummocretins to blame two dummocretin loving organizations is………………. hilarious! Apparently those two actions above on conservatives also applied to “some dummocretins”! They are basically saying “Wut, those are political rules for everyone? We have to live by them too? That normally does happen to dummocretins with our wink and nod backroom agreements.”
Regarding Trump who knows what really happened. The argument of people hating Trump, BiteME! underperformed against Clinton’s totals in all major cities except four.

Data on a server seized in that raid (no server was seized, there was no raid) showed that votes were switched (they weren’t) and that Trump had secured a massive landslide of 410 Electoral College votes, winning California (which hasn’t gone for a Republican since 1988 and which Hillary Clinton won by 30 percentage points in 2016) and Rhode Island (which has gone for a Republican only once since 1976) but somehow not Colorado (which was considered a swing state as recently as 2008).”

He’s now named Director of the Office of Public Liason.

It’s one of the premier stepping stone positions in that it is one of a very small handful of senior White House appointees empowered to grant direct access to The President. Directors often go on to serve as cabinet secretaries or run for higher office.
Is it a gift to the energy industry? Depends. Energy companies and their lobbyists who have cultivated Richmond in the past will have a leg up in accessing the new White House. But Richmond still has to take his orders from the President and the President’s COS. And in this case we have a President elect who has outlined a very aggressive goal of transitioning to carbon neutral energy in fifteen years. So Richmond’s role may be in selling that to those industries. Being in a uniquely powerful position unrelated to energy policy with access to the President is a good way of doing that.
And if Richmond performs well and proves himself, he’ll be well positioned to run for Senate in a few years. This is what the long game looks like.
Grassley pos for TrumPlague.
Funny old world.
Depends on what your definition of “food is” senile wabidiot. [Bill Clinton variation,] Very much doubt it because we auto-donate to world wide food banks each month! You know auto-donate, where you automatically donate and they take the money direct from bank account. Try it some time.
Been doing those donations since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Remember Puddy wrote about the devastation there because we cancelled a Paris Christmas vacation to help those in need. You can get a replay from the crazed databaze!
Once again senile wabidiot is clueless or else just plain stooooooooooooooopid.
Someone wake up senile wabidiot.
And this happened five days ago wabidiot.
