God damn how can he possibly fucking suck this fucking much?
The Democrats entire charde is [not Trump] and millions still fall for it.
this is the man who wrote a eulogy for strom thurmond and expressed a desire to invent israel if it didn't exist.
Literally lending credence to the Republicans' fabricated border crisis. While at the same time trying to appeal to racist voters who will not vote for Diet Trump. Yup. Classic Dem. move.
Why do people accept this "crisis on the border"/ "we must secure the border" bullshit?
The only crisis is the human rights abuses and concentration camps done and run by the US
the frontier is dead but the settlers are still here

racism
Because 
Remember when the libs wanted us to vote to get the kids out of the cages?
The child grinding machine should be humming away quietly in the background rather than being on everyone's minds, c'mon Jack, this is basic politics
Upgrading the child grinder from diesel to electric would be better for the environment and reduce noise. You do care about the environment don't you?
Bonus, the child grinders produce carbon offsets that can be sold on the market!
It creates jobs for people to clean and maintain the grinders.
Children are the best candidates for cleaning the child grinders. Their hands are small enough to really get in there between the teeth, and it gives them valuable work experience.
and they're already there standing in line next to the child grinder. so each child does a shift cleaning the grinder and them jumps into it. perfect world.
You know what would be cool would be if the US stopped starting wars and funding paramilitary death squads. Maybe then there would be less people fleeing their homes.
"hArM rEdUcTiOn!!1!1!!1!"
Death to the settlers.
What a feckless lying coward. There is no border crisis, you liberal conservative racist piece of shit.
Every day Biden does some new shit to solidify his losing of my vote.
I was jjjuuusssstttt about back to falling in line, status quo style; but this reminded me of how violent that is.
Ahhhh let me be clear 
grant the next 
more executive powers.
Fuck, he's so damn terrible. I really hope the Latine community learns from the Arab/Muslim community and also abandons Biden in November.
But I'm more pessimistic about it.
you have to vote for ~~99%~~ 100% hitler or ~~100%~~ 101% hitler will win
Notice how many times he almost used the phrase "final solution".
When I say 'Harm!' you say 'Reduction!'
Harm!
produ- I mean, reduction!
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I have been saying this for a long time: the Democrats are going to eat the Republican’s lunches. Racism, immigration, warmongering, support for police brutality - whatever that used to be the pillars of the Republican platform, the Democrats are doing them so much better and the libs are cheerfully clapping for “four more years!”
MAGA Republicans really only have “woke culture” and “transgenderism” to cry about these days. Their desperation is a sign of losing grounds, as was evident when their anti-abortion stunt backfired. But the smart Republicans, who want a competent leadership that passes conservative legislations but not too overt about it, are noticing what Biden has done for them.
The Democrats have been doing this kind of shit for a long time, trying to appeal to Republicans. It has never and will never work. If you're a Republican, why vote for a Democrat who does the things you want when you can vote for a Republican who does the things you want? There's no rational calculation being done by American voters. It's blue team vs red team, you will not find Republicans voting for Biden.
Biden is doing more than Trump ever did about the """"border crisis""""" and what is the Republican response? They all hate him and dozens of governors are in a standoff.
Your average Republican voter, sure, I 100% agree with you. But I am talking about the donor class, the only class that matters when it comes to deciding what’s going on under the American democracy. Even the Republican donor class is starting to be sold on Biden being the better qualified president.
On the other hand, it is funny to see Republican boomers who wanted to hate Biden so much by blaming “inflation” on him and “predicting a Biden recession all over the last 2 years” only to see their asset wealth shot through the roof, far more than they could have imagined than under Trump. Must be a cognitive dissonant moment for them.

What are you basing this on?
edit: Worth noting that Hillary pulled in more funds than Trump did in 2016 and she still got washed

The lines are going up everywhere for the rich people. The economy is seriously doing very well if you belong to the top 1-5% in America right now. They all tried to fantasize about how Biden would screw up the economy but it never happened lol. It only made them far richer than when they were under Trump. Now, nobody wants the gravy train to stop.
The most impressive part is that Biden managed to make rich people richer while screwing poor people along the way. Biden gave them the satisfaction of being able to see poor people suffering while their numbers go up. That’s something they had wanted Trump to deliver but didn’t happen.
Worth noting that Hillary pulled in more funds than Trump did in 2016 and she still got washed
Which is exactly why they won’t let this happen a second time.

IOW, Dark Brandon just bent those 25 governors over a barrel if they vote against the immigration bill.
Our kindly grandpa Lord and Savior Dark Brandon (who is totally doddering and foolish and out of touch) strikes again. (Poe's Law activated. /s forgotten. So sorry)
EBIC OLD MAN 
that's epic, now the republicans have to choose between doing what they wanted to do or getting what they wanted to get
masterful gambit by dark brandon
Can't y'all just for for an independent? Why do you have to pick from two evils?
Don't worry friend I will not be voting for either Hitler
failing to vote for hitler 1 is a vote for hitler 2 
failing to vote for hitler 2 is a vote for hitler 1
a vote for neither hitler is a vote for both hitlers, which is a double hitler, and also voter fraud 
good people don't want to run for Supreme Engineer of the Babykillotron 400
I've been voting third party
if you mean "why can't america as a whole do that" it's because we're run by a corporation wearing two trenchcoats
Depending on the state, we can. I'm guessing the staggering majority of hexbear users who are in the US will either not vote or will vote third party.
I'm not up to speed with the whole border policy thing aside from knowing that kids are still in cages, which is pretty much all I need to know
having said that, isn't this essentially just immediately accepting defeat to the republicans before the conflict even starts? isn't this sternly-worded statement just "okay okay, I'll do what you want, happy now?", or am I reading it wrong?
Oh it gets even worse. This is what Biden's offering in exchange for more money for the Gaza genocide and for Ukraine. A trifecta of shit.
I will personally kick a child on the border if you give me money for genocide in gaza and war in burisma
