I bet the percentage of illegal crossings is even higher than 75% good hard working people. Mexican culture is fantastic and certainly much closer to American culture than many other countries.
But you’re right in that it really is a problem caused by magnitude. Imagine a world where border crossings were zero and we could issue work visas to Mexican that we can vet (someone needs to change nsacpi’s diapers). The excuse for years was that border enforcement was a waste of time and resources, and it seems that excuse has been debunked this year.

He also thinks the extremism is way farther on the right and Trump is the first president to become overtly authoritarian
I didn't say the dude was smart

thanks for sharing that....i think he is right and that it requires blinders not to see it
That’s actually a great comparison for someone being hapless dick to the people he works with while selling his personally branded merchandise.
Acting like Hunter and Jared’s situation is similar is the same energy as the people say political terrorism is a “both sides” issue.
You’re right, at least Biden had the good sense to not put his family in charge of officially dealing with the countries he was doing business with.
A government shut down is such a colossal global fuck up that I find it silly to even consider blaming it on the Democrats specifically. What an immensely stupid system we have created wherein the entire government has to be funded at once in a mega bill that nobody even reads. Even if we didn’t go scorched earth and make them do line item votes on all spending, it seems actively insane that power is so concentrated to the leaders of the caucuses that ten senators from either side couldn’t just strike some minor (hopefully beneficial, but lol probably awful) deal that would allow them to vote for the bill. Why even elect a specific Senator if Chuck Schumer, John Thune, Hakeem Jeffries and Mike Johnson get to control all the levers? Just replace Senators with a Vote for The Left or Right Buttons at this point. It’d even save money!
How about something as simple as it’s still kind of bad that the President’s son-in-law who he previously appointed Head of Everything, but especially the Middle East, has ended up with literal billions of dollars in investments from the insanely rich royal families in the Middle East that also just so happen to be showering Trump with gifts and investment guarantees, while also still making deals with that same son-in-law for business interests that could be seen as personally beneficial to the President, who by the way is the sole decider of our foreign trade policy, and has a massive meme coin that any foreign national could rather trivially launder money through?
But hey, I’ll cede the fact that Jared is a more competent person to do business with than a cocaine addict. I just don’t see how we’re supposed to be cool with *this* much money being thrown around the President’s family from the oppressive oil barons he previously worked with in an official government capacity.
