Thank you for confirming Zab.
Geez how hard is it to read this listing below the eligible if they meet the following criteria????
Immigrants may be eligible for SSI if they meet the following criteria. The list below is the criteria listing of those who can get free money.
Supplemental Security Income benefits if they meet certain criteria. SSI benefits are distributed to people who have little or no income or resources, a disability, blindness, or attained the age of 65 or older.”
THIS IS THE CRITERIA BELOW, PAL.
• Lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
• Granted conditional entry.
• Paroled into the United States.
• Admitted as a refugee.
• Granted asylum.
• An alien whose removal is being withheld.
• A Cuban or Haitian entrant.
• Admitted as an Amerasian immigrant.
• Admitted as an Afghan or Iraqi special immigrant.
• Admitted as an Afghan humanitarian parolee.
• Admitted as an Afghan non-special immigrant parolee.
• Admitted as a Ukrainian humanitarian parolee.

Why I posted it is I read all of it. Those who came here illegally with no income can get benefits also those listed groups are all eligible for benefits so it basically means everyone on that listing plus more….. you all read it as you will I read it that they all get money from a fund which they never put a dime into. Cannot read just sorts of it all to suit your false message.
What I posted months ago related to the United Nations and the WHO wanting over 197 Countries to sign onto their nice little Pandemic Treaty which gives them full authority in these Countries to dictate what their citizens need to follow from their directives should those Countries sign into this agreement. Thankfully for Americans Conservatives and Republicans in Congress are battling their counterpart Liberals in wanting to protect our own citizens with use of guess what our own Constitution which is the law of our Country, not some bogus Treaty they push out to these Countries. Virginia Foxx yesterday and another Rep. from Kentucky pushed through two Amendments for ensuring America maintains its own sovereignty over such Treaty or upcoming other Treaties which could possible dictate to American citizens what they must do in an pandemic event which would be controlled by entities in the world who own zero allegiance to our Country. And to assure that No Treaty no matter what it is that we would sign onto which affects American Citizen freedoms in any way has to be voted on in the Congress and Senate and onto the President for approval or disapproval following the Laws of our own Country not some made up Treaty by outside entity forces supposedly with the goal of protecting the World from some future pandemic crisis. Its like if they have a Gun Treaty due to some killing in one of these foreign nations then they have us all sign onto a treaty banning weapons in all these Countries, it would never happen here unless given full approval via our Constitution and following Congress/Senate and Presidential and possibly Judicial reviews as well here to protect our own Nation from such forces which think Treaties will rule our Country in some way shape of form. Never going to happen. Thankfully we have some Great Americans fighting for our rights as citizens in our Congress during debates on 9/11/24 of the Conservative side of the aisle, while others are in full agreement as Biden and Harris are to simply sign onto this Treaty without any kind of protections built with our own legislative branches weighing in and protecting its citizens. Quite a contrast on where the Liberals minds are at here. Sad. Un-American all the way.

Social Security monies to illegal immigrants. Some articles show these claims as false, but when one reads from the SS website itself and see the listing of all those allowed and that can get payments from them it is almost everyone who has crossed our borders. These folks having paid ZERO into this fund are getting monies that should go to REAL AMERICANS who paid into this system.
https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-are-immigrants-getting-social-security-1918611
“On its website, the Social Security Administration wrote: "Lawfully present noncitizens of the United States who meet all eligibility requirements can qualify for Social Security benefits. This rule also applies to noncitizens authorized to work in the United States who got a Social Security number after December 2003."
Immigrants living in the U.S. legally can qualify for Social Security retirement benefits if they attain enough work credits over the course of their careers. To earn such credits, immigrants need to obtain a Social Security number and pay Social Security taxes.
“Immigrants living in the country illegally are not eligible for Social Security retirement benefits, but those who entered the U.S. illegally before receiving temporary permission to stay may be eligible for Supplemental Security Income benefits if they meet certain criteria. SSI benefits are distributed to people who have little or no income or resources, a disability, blindness, or attained the age of 65 or older.”
• Lawfully admitted for permanent residence.

Needs Context.
Immigrants living in the U.S. legally can collect Social Security benefits, provided they meet specific criteria surrounding work credits and the thresholds for collecting SSI, the SSA has explained.
While immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally can collect SSI benefits in some circumstances—including if they are granted asylum—they are prohibited from receiving most other federal benefits.

To this gracious Board members, who love links to justify their existence here. I have appreciated being allowed to post here on this unwelcomed short sighted Board for quite some time. Was kicked off for a bit by your fearless leader for guess what not posting links. Be that as it may I do not belong here on this Board at all. Your group here are followers like a long conga line tied together with some purpose other than free thinking. So in this atmosphere where actually thinking anywhere outside of what you call normal is not accepted here. As a free thinker and open minded person who likes other free thinkers I have worn out my welcome here. You can keep your group think mentality as opposed to free thinking thoughts without links involved to somehow prove something that someone with bias has written online for your enjoyment solely. Not sure I agree with all of it, quite the contrary I disagree with most of it but it is what it is here folks. Good luck with your gal here in the next election perhaps we will all get a real President who contains scruples instead of constant insults at one another, we deserve that much from our Country here. Hopefully as some point you will show the same love to Americans who pay taxes to support their communities and emergency services in their towns and cities as opposed to loving those who are illegally here in our Country. I can only hope you have such consideration for fellow Americans as opposed to those takers here now. Good Luck to all and I bid you all adieu........
I have today provided links to stories no one here wishes to read or acknowledge has happened under the careful watch of Kamala and Biden while in office. They have Zero Leadership on immigration issues, they have allowed this tragedy to unfold as they wanted it to, part of their plan. So when Kamala says she wants Health Care for all that live in America, notice she never says for all American Citizens, just those who live here, which include funny enough all of HER ILLEGAL's that have come here over the past three years under her and his watch. They wish America to cease being America is their goal, they have to make our Country a third world nation because the other Countries cannot comply or meet American standards so we have to lower ours to make it an even playing field for all of the World Government crowd. Once in power I will not longer be allowed to post anything related to being against this regime in charge. So enjoy the opposing viewpoints for now as it will be eliminated soon enough. No more debate, just do as we tell you too, like some posters here already do to me on this Board. Thanks for allowing me to post oh gracious one.
Gee not sure how to respond to this but just saying I did not know I used that much of my brain, but thank you for the kind words.
Zab, you confuse LEGAL with ILLEGAL folks here, sorry but ILLEGALS are draining those City Systems meant for American citizens and that paid for it all now being taken away from them via ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS. Unless you are going to tell me that all the Legal Immigrants are paying taxes to pay for all the ILLEGALS here now? Is that what you mean? ILLEGALS are getting a free ride pal, Ask NYC and Chicago how their millions is being spent on ILLEGALS in their communities. You somehow equate Legal immigration from ILLEGAL immigration that again is a falsehood you are perpetuating here. Legal immigrants with jobs here in America who did not break the law to come here are paying taxes and sending most of their money back to their home country as well. But yes they pay sales taxes here when they purchase goods and services. So Legal Immigrants do this, ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS do not. Do not promote falsehoods here please.
I have posted links to deaths under each idiot President here earlier post. Sorry so late but I do when I want not when Board members tell me to.
I follow no group or no one person that is what is great about being Libertarian, you have no group think going on only our own common sense and brains. You all follow the leader like ring around the rosy, I finished doing that at five years old, you are all still playing the game like fools.
Here are some links for NYC and Randalls Island NY fand Chicago or your viewing pleasure for Illegal Immigrants taking NYC taxpayer funds to support their staying in this area. This removes actual American citizen services from being used for American’s who actually paid for them via their taxes in NYC and NY State. These are a small sampling of cities in America with the same plight going on and it continues under this current lack of leadership, not in charge, but pretending to be in charge. Its all good go to sleep and think of more fairy tales don't look behind the curtain we have drawn.
Hospitals, Medical Care, Emergency Services, Food, Shelter, Clothing, Crimes being committed, areas where real American Citizens cannot go to places they used to travel to because it is taken over by Illegal Aliens now, Schools affected with overcrowding with language barriers takes away from American citizens children from learning what they need to in order to get ahead in their lives and cycle back and pay for illegals to come here again and again. Sick is what I call this.
Also Cost of hotels for Illegals in NYC. Debit cards being issued to families using NYC taxpayer monies. You know they are billing the Federal Government for reimbursement of these expenditures, they do not have the money.
This is a failure of our leadership at the highest levels of our U.S. Government and the allowance of this tragedy to have occurred in such great numbers of illegals and costs to support their welfare. These costs should not be burdening American citizens in these areas this is their money and taxes paid not some illegals money to waste and take away from what Americans in this area worked for. This is exactly the same in Chicago, IL. No difference’s. This is not Leadership folks but a total failure to lead and take care of our own citizens.
Now some on this Board seem to think that the Illegals are paying taxes for all these expenditures in NYC and Chicago and the United States as a whole, I beg to differ with those false posts here. That is fake news. Yes LEGAL IMMIGRANTS who work here yes they do pay taxes but those among these articles in just these two cities are not among them at all, they are takers in our society. Guess what they do now that they are here? They call their friends and neighbors from their home Countries and let them know hey come here everything is free American’s are so stupid they give us everything for free housing is free, food is free, medical care is free, schools are free, transportation is free, please come here leave you documents at the border so they know not who you are just give them a name so they cannot do background checks on you. This is the game they play and we are paying from the City coffers to our Federal Government coffers, it is all free to them while American’s pay more and more to live here and follow the laws and rules we were born into as a Country. This is just simply wrong. All these millions of dollars are there for Americans to use not those who came here and are taking it all from them to use. It is not fair. They all need to return home pay their fines for being felons for entering here illegally and return home, they do not belong herer.

Typical Liberal elitist attitude here you must post when I say you have to post, you sir are a fool and idiot. Go back to learn some proper etiquette about telling folks what they need to do for you at your whim. What a joke.
As I understand it most deaths occurred under Biden, but there again no leader is at fault for viruses without borders. Tomorrow I will post some links on costs of illegal immigration snd death counts just so you know there are links available for all of it so you want links you will get them. And if immigrants were in fact paying taxes and not taking anything from our economies then why is NYC snd Chicago in a financial crisis over it all if they in fact we’re paying their own way as some here have stated. Is totally inaccurate depiction from reality. But fairy tales are also real to this board. You only like links that present one side of the facts but not the reality. We shall see.
And you and you alone have the absolutely only real facts and fact checkers in History. Good for you buddy. What a joke.
Could care less what Trump does we deserve and need a real Presidential candidate not poke jabs at each other like some sick comedy show humans pretending to know what they are talking about. America deserves much better than these two dolts.
Viruses occur all the time and people die look up history of the earth and you will find out. You can no more place blame on some dumb leader for the loss of life during a virus than looking into the mirror yourself.
You make a total mockery for any conspiracy theories. Unwittingly believing 20 people have crossed the border under this administration versus millions unknown to anyone who they even are or where they come from. Closing your eyes to this stark reality via denial is bad for my Country and believing it is even worse. You have zero sway on any conspiracy theories when you make an actuality of them for some sad misguided discussion or argument. Sick is what I call that.
Living in Australia you have zero voice in our and my Country.
The side you apparently th ky stand with should they win in 2024 will do the following and if you all want more of this then she’s your gal.
Unimpeded immigration by the millions over the last 3.5 years.
When she states she wants insurance for all in America, she does not mean only Americans, notice she leaves that piece out but rather Americans will continue to pay for their benefits who’ll millions of illegals will get SSA and Medicare for free having paid zero into these systems. Leaving them to go bankrupt for those of us who actually paid into them.
Full support of Hamas and their voting electorate of Palestinians. Using once again our tax dollars while throwing Israel under the bus. In my mind these two factions should all be thrown under the bus and fend for themselves without any assistance by any Country. Once funding snd weapons and food dry up this battle ends.
Letting free known illegal alien criminals who have killed American citizens. And supporting those that break our laws versus upholding our law.
Abortion of babies up to the time of birth is the most sickening one here.
If you agree with all these things then by all means she’s your choice to further ruin our Country. You all just need to listen to her speak and her ilk speak snd you will know where they stand it’s all been said already. Not on this board though. You all live to hide in the sand and blame orange man for everything, while the whole time your own party is screwing your all.
Unlike you in this battle of factions related to permits both should be either allowed or both disallowed to March, not one side over the other. As I have no side in their real battles because both sides are wrong humanly speaking. I was simply making the point that more Liberal leaning Governments will shut down their opposing voices and that is what will come with a Kamala led Government. Opposing viewpoints need not apply which in turn is not America or American, but it will happen because of their false hatred of the other side whomever they may be. This will be the new normal shutdown the voices who oppose you. Silence will become the norm. Like in WWII era.
It was also all over the news in our Country, not your apparently. Israel out Palestinians in for Chicago marches. Oh well no link delete me from your list of others with brains here that think for themselves with common sense and knowledge. You hate opposition I understand. So silence us all then. Your Party is the same and will in the end pay dearly for being so naive.
Ok thanks you have made my point about things here now and to come. Thanks.
Yes, thanks good stuff.

Defining a Constitutional Republic
The United States operates as a constitutional republic, a form of government that involves representatives elected by the people, who execute their duties under the constraints of a prevailing constitution that specifies the powers and limits of government.
One fundamental principle of a constitutional republic is the protection of minority rights against the potential tyranny of the majority. This design counters direct democracy, where majority rules could potentially ride roughshod over minority interests. The U.S. Constitution outlines various checks and balances intended to prevent any single branch of government from gaining absolute power, thereby protecting individual rights from being infringed upon by majority vote.
Another key element of this governance style is the separation of powers among branches of the government, a system meant to foster a balance of power. The legislative branch makes laws, the executive branch enforces these laws, and the judiciary interprets them. Each branch operates independently from the others to prevent any accumulation of power, adhering to the principles laid out by the framers of the Constitution.
The electoral process distinctly forms the basis of the U.S. as a republic. Citizens do not vote directly for laws and policies but instead elect representatives who make these decisions on their behalf. This filter theoretically places an informed decision-making body between the populace's desire and the law, which aligns with the characteristics of a republic.
The rule of law also serves as a cornerstone in a constitutional republic. Unlike monarchies of the past where rulers were law unto themselves, in a constitutional republic such as the U.S., every citizen, irrespective of their status or authority, is subject to the law. This adherence to codified laws confirms the U.S.' attachment to the abstract principles of democracy and to a rational legal framework that governs society's functioning.
The continuous impact of these foundational elements helps ensure the function of the U.S. governance is not driven by transient popular sentiments but steered through established, systematic laws and practices. This tempers swaying populist whims and meshes well with democratic ideals—where every voice has a chance to be heard through elected representation. Herein lies the synthesis of republican principles with democratic values, helping shape policies that reflect both collective will and measured, constitutional guidelines.
The democratic process in the U.S. ensures that while representatives are elected to make decisions, these decisions are deeply influenced by public opinion. Citizens express their preferences through voting, which is a civic duty, emphasizing the democratic spirit within the framework of a constitutional republic. This process secures a pathway for public sentiment to guide the legislative agenda, thereby reinforcing the notion that government derives its power from the consent of the governed.
Public opinion in America often shapes legislative decisions through other mechanisms such as referendums, initiatives, and recalls which, although not universally available in all states, add a direct democratic dimension to the republican system.1 These tools allow voters to propose or reject laws and policies directly, bypassing the representative filter when needed, which provides a direct check on elected officials and ensures that crucial matters can be addressed head-on by the populace.
These democratic mechanisms within the constitutional republic of the United States highlight how deeply interwoven democratic processes are in facilitating effective governance that is of, by, and for the people, albeit through the prism of constitutional constraints and representative governance. This blend ensures that the nation adheres to the desires of its citizens and to a larger, enduring legal and ethical framework designed by the founding fathers to guide generations toward a fair and just nation.
Historical Perspectives on U.S. Government
When the founding fathers convened at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, their aim was to establish a framework that would endure and stabilize a nascent nation. The atmosphere was saturated with a diversity of ideologies and experiences, mirroring the complexity of the endeavor they had undertaken. The deliberations, fraught with contention and compromise, drew heavily upon historical precedents and philosophical thought that dated back to classical antiquity, Enlightenment philosophy, and the recent experiences of the American and British governments.
Key figures such as James Madison, often referred to as the "Father of the Constitution," brought a wealth of knowledge about historical forms of government and their pitfalls. His preparation included a detailed study of ancient and modern confederacies, which was instrumental during debates and discussions. Madison, along with his contemporaries, was particularly influenced by the political instability they observed under the Articles of Confederation, where a lack of central authority led to inefficacy and interstate discord.
The philosophical motives driving the structure of the U.S. government owe much to Enlightenment thinkers like John Locke and Montesquieu. Locke's principles of life, liberty, and property found a strong echo in the American ethos of liberty and individual rights. Montesquieu's admiration for the separation of powers influenced the Constitution's architecture significantly; his idea that liberty depended on the balancing forces within government can distinctly be seen in the separation of powers among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches as defined in the Constitution.2
The historical perspective on desiring a republic over a pure democracy was clear: the founding fathers feared the potential for tyranny in both majority rule and monarchy. They sought a form through which liberty could be preserved and prevented from descending into licentiousness—an unbridled freedom that tramples societal order. This apprehension is reflected in the Federalist Papers, a series of essays penned by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay under the pseudonym "Publius" to advocate for the ratification of the Constitution. Federalist No. 10, written by Madison, argued that a large republic could best guard against the dangers of factionalism and preserve individual freedoms against majority tyranny.
Reflections on historical antecedents like the Roman Republic were influential. The founders considered Rome's model concerning elected representatives and mechanisms averting tyranny. The system was not purely democratic as in ancient Athens, where all eligible citizens participated directly in legislative decisions. Every system they regarded offered insights into creating stability while ensuring that governance by consent was not compromised by transient popular pressures.
In drafting the Constitution, delegates knew they were preparing a document for future generations. Their acute awareness of history, coupled with a pragmatic understanding of current and future challenges, drove them to forge a balanced republic. They aspired for a system that safeguarded against rapid erosion through faction or tyranny while embodying Enlightenment ideals that assured progress and ethical governance.
Modern Misconceptions and Clarifications
In modern political discourse, misunderstandings surrounding the terms 'republic' and 'democracy' are prevalent and are often strategically wielded in debates. These terminological misconceptions can distort public understanding and contribute to broader misrepresentations of the foundational principles governing the United States.
The conflation of 'democracy' and 'republic' in contemporary usage often obscures their distinct historical and constitutional meanings. A democracy, in its purest form as practiced in ancient Athens, involves direct participation of the citizenry in legislative decisions. While democratic, this approach was deemed impractical and potentially volatile by the framers of the U.S. Constitution, leading them to form a constitutional republic. This system combines representative democracy with foundational laws that protect individual rights and minority opinions against the potential tyranny of the majority.
During recent political upheavals, some commentators and politicians have asserted that calling the United States a democracy is incorrect, preferring instead the term 'republic'. This assertion, seen in media portrayals and political rhetoric, often suggests that appreciating the United States as a republic exclusively helps safeguard against the flaws of a pure democracy. Senator Mike Lee's comments from October 2020 exemplify this stance as he described the American system as not one of mere majorities but rather as a "constitutional republic" where majority rule is tempered by statutory and constitutional boundaries.3
This restrictive interpretation, however, misses a broader point: the terms are not mutually exclusive and are interwoven deeply in the fabric of the US governance system. The electorate's power to elect representatives who make and interpret laws is inherently democratic, while the constitutional framework that guides and limits governance embodies the republic notion. Ignoring this connection narrows the discourse and can polarize debates unnecessarily.
Some political figures selectively use these terms to energize bases or criticize opponents, framing the narrative to suggest incompatible differences between these government forms. This deepens political divides and shifts focus away from discussing the substantive functioning of our government. The debate over whether the founders intended a 'republic' over a 'democracy' sometimes serves specific agendas without enriching the understanding of how both elements are essential to the nation's structure.
Conversations around election integrity and the validity of electoral processes often draw on this 'republic vs. democracy' discourse. Allegations of election fraud and the undermining of voting processes are severe issues that require attention and resolution. However, using the definitions and interpretations of 'republic' and 'democracy' to frame such arguments risks muddying the objective understanding with political partisanship. It distracts from factual evidence and legal standards that are the true arbiters in such cases.
Resources committed to sharing knowledge and fostering understanding about the Constitution play a crucial role in clarifying these concepts. By providing accurate historical contexts and expert analyses, such platforms help demystify the rhetoric and encourage informed dialogue among the populace. Comprehending the complementary nature of democracy and republic in the constitutional framework of the United States enlightens citizens and helps maintain the principles of justice, liberty, and equality envisaged by the founding fathers and encapsulated in the document they crafted. This synergy between varying forms of governance underlines the adaptability and enduring longevity of the Constitution as a framework for our nation.
COMMENTARY TO ABOVE:
Otto Geiseman
I disagree with defining the US as a democracy. Notice not one founder thought it prudent to use that term to describe the experiment. Moreover, not one founder has anything positive to say of democracy, their abhorrence is clear and well documented. The distinction, particularly today, is critical since 1789 colloquialism is grossly ignored in favor of the progressive colloquialism that favors a marxist-socialist bent with specific disdain for the Constitution and in particular, the Electoral college. Today, nearly everything is a "threat to Democracy" and has become the progressive battle cry with a goal to replace the Electoral College with national popular vote further watering the Constitution with tyranny. The Constitution was designed to be immutable subject to provisions for change such that definitions are self-evident to the common man. Rights don't evaporate with the interpretation of the day.
Ken Root
While I heartedly agree with Otto Geiseman I wish to add a comment of what term I think does well in describing our form of government. My understanding is, we actually have a Democratic Constitutional Republic. A Constitutional Republic, as described in the article actually overlooks what it is based on and that is, it is on a Democratic form of selection. Then it is based on a Constitutional framework which is expressed in a Republic form of direct governing.
Put votes through an extractor yeah that’s what we need. How about physically count them first then see if the machines give you close to the same number and by the time the polls close within an hour? Stupid is as stupid does. Early voting yet but we still cannot add by the deadline. Then start voting right after the 2020 election they still would not get done. One article I read they would see where the electoral college numbers were first in the evening to see and then then worry about counting theirs. How lazy and foolish is that???? Idiots all of them. Let’s see who’s ahead first then we can delay ours snd chive the nod to one side ir the other. The language alone lets you know they wish to rig the counts and will. They are letting you know their playbook in PA. Openly in public. Their entire voting counts should be eliminated from this election based on language like that. Not worthy and totally crooked.
You still living in the past why not join the current news of idiots adding votes up? Guess you are sworn to repeat past error then and I will bet they are still counting votes from 2029 in PA.
Good someone confirm my point now PA. Has plenty of time to rig their votes, err I mean add them up Sept. 16th perfect no reason all votes are not tabulated that election night then. Thank you.
PA. Voting Links to not being able to count or add numbers.

https://www.centredaily.com/news/state/pennsylvania/article289965534.html
State of PA. Voting for the next election already is laying their ground work for the lack of any timely results in 2024. Nice to let the rest of the Country know ahead of time that math is not your top subject in schools there. Addition is a tough one to overcome. Gives me ptsd. Too funny.
Just do not allow any vote counts to be added to the total after the polls have closed. No vote counting after that deadline. Count what you have and guess what that is your vote total no more no less. It’s really quite easy plus you also have early voting I believe starting October 22nd. No excuses to have this sort of story out there telling about your failure as a species to count numbers.
What a laughing stock you all have become.
Atrocities being committed on both sides in Israel and Gaza/Palestine territory and Lebanon, Syria, Iran you name it, it is happening and all funded by the U.S. and allies of same supporting with money, weapons, food. This all needs to cease fully 100% no more money, no more weapons, no more food. These two and others can battle it out without our support any longer. They can deal with it on their own for hundreds of years or more since I was a child this has been going on without any end in sight. As long as weapons, money and food flow and those great weapon companies keep doing deals with the devil this will continue. So I say end it all now no more support to either side of Israel, Gaza/Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iran, Iraq. Let them all fend for themselves I for one will be letting my local yahoo Senators and Congress folks know to end this support of these Countries no more of my hard earned tax dollars should go to support any of these folks in killing each other each with American supplied weapons. No more, end this madness let them all fend for themselves. DONE. We need strong leaders to take this stance going forward otherwise we are in it to kill innocent people and even though remote we are a part of every innocent death being done daily in these battles. All of us are at fault here whether you like it or not you are just as much as at fault as those pulling the triggers.
America is blocked of all true information about our phony so-called leaders. Reich needs a checkup himself as well. There is no Trump contagion people from all political persuasions love him and hate him even his own party. Nothing new there.
He stupidly just blasted GA.’s Governor. He lost GA. With that move. But hey I am a fool remember folks. This board says so. Like Biden had to choose someone dumber then him for VP do hence Kamala got picked. Now Kamala needs someone dumber than her, hence Tim Walz.
Everyone is getting dumber here. Just the way our politics is. So what is the real issue here? We need real smart but serious people in these positions not bottoms of the barrel fools like me in these jobs.
DEI has no place in our Presidency of their cabinet posts. We are dealing with a world full of serious and dangerous people we have zero room for any complacency at these positions to run our Country and maintain our safety and our Country. Otherwise just like the open border chaos ensues against our citizens without punishment. Sad state of affairs here folks.
Biden Harris team. War in Israel, War in Ukraine, Iran about to attack after Biden donates money to them. Groups are fighting with U.S. weapons against U.S. weapons because they supported both sides of these conflicts and still do. Terror attempts against Taylor Swift shows they realize Biden snd Harris are lightweights here. They both need to retire before further tragedies ensue. Millions of illegals here now around give hundred known terrorists among them, Christopher Wray is very concerned about an attack within the U.S. need new leaders folks it’s that simple. Harris and Walz will hand weapons to folks against us with a smile on their faces. Then give them more money for equity in their Countries. Freaking sad bunch of humans if you can call them that.
Kamala says the she will grow the economy and bring down inflation??? But I thought you said under Biden its a great economy? WTF are you talking about here Word Salad lady? What a joke she is. You mean to say politicians lie? Who da thought it? Walz never saw a Government dollar he did not spend.
Working on it though bud. Maybe my A.I. team of morons can locate it!!!!!
Walz Family Matters, or something like that WEIRDO’S for shure oops sure.
Crazy is as crazy does, like MS. Bush from Missouri just like me I guess or gess?

Cori Bush has a bunch of screws loose, more dangerous to our Country now. As she stated they gave her a reason to become more radicalized. This is YOUR Party. Good luck with that. If Vance is weird this person Cori Bush is a total sicko.
And you all are soul gate keepers of those infamous links of BS you post each day here. I forgot you are all above the Supreme Leader of the Fact Checking Elitists. Good for you I will stick with the small men and women approach to decide with my own common sense of what is or is not BS. And I am smelling it now a bit from you. Keep up the great fact checking here because without it I would be more lost than I am here with my brethren. Whose ur daddy.
Obtuse the prisoner in Shawshank Redemption snd the warden. Nice touch mfr, but as Newmedman has stated it puts lives at risk so I am not at any Liberty to share with other mfr’ers on this Libby board. So sorry do not pass GO do not collect $200 for your troubles. Sorry we are all out of equity here to continue these diatribes. Thanks for playing though.
