So is joining our neighborhood council going to stop the invasion at the Southern Border?

That's the single biggest threat to America currently and yet Sleepy Joe and his band of transexual advisors aren't doing a motherfucking thing to stop it. If they really cared they'd quit playing politics and declare a National Emergency, but they don't, it's all part of their plan.

To top it off, we have folks who blatantly ignore it and are going to vote for the fuckwits again because they are only concerned about their "team" winning.  No matter what it costs.

That shit ain't American.  So it won't be Americans vs. Americans....it'll be Americans vs. Anti-Americans.

But hey, I'll go serve some soup at my soup kitchen and it'll all go away I suppose.....

Fuckin' hell, dude, if you're so bent out of shape about the border that you think the only solution is for "American's to kill 'Anti-Americans" then...

Fuckin' hell, dude, if you're so bent out of shape about the border that you think the only solution is for "American's to kill 'Anti-Americans" then take your ass down to the border and volunteer, train, get a job. Doesn't matter what you do, aid the patrol units, help process migrants, bring people water, do literally anything about it because all I'm reading from you is, "It's everyone else's fault we're in this mess despite the fact I ain't doing shit about it either".

I'm sure everyone there would be more than happy to receive the help. Go get them hands dirty, boots on the ground style!

The first job of governments since the beginning of governments is to protect the borders. There is no disputing this, border protection is one of the main reasons there are governments. That our government fails on this on one specific border, the south and none of the other three, infuriates many of us because it displays how incompetent our system has become. That they tell us how they are going to rid of us homelessness, poverty, student loans, war, and whatever else and they cannot even organize and protect the border smacks of the government rubbing our noses in their bull shit and lies. Eventually the naive among us who think of our government as this altruistic Dutch Uncle making right in the world are going to get bit by harsh reality like the realists amongst us. For now the government is going after the "greedy" wealthy, big corporations, "unfair" pharma, any minority they can demonize to get the mobs excited, soon the government will turn on other groups to blame as villains. Perhaps a group that now includes the supporters of the current administration.

Just caught a vid clip of him telling members of his, post rant recieving line,  that he was going to have a "come to Jesus moment" soon with Netanyahu. 

 

Okay, who's going to tell him that Netanyahu is Jewish ??

Think about it !!!

Not sure why you’re talking about Obama. He hasn’t been in office since 2017. Simply referring to the line Biden had, pointing out that after elections, we have always come together and supported the winner of the election and wished them well. And we always should.

Idiotic terminology notwithstanding, what kind of bullshit threat was that supposed to be  ??

 

And bizarre that he actually thinks Netanyahu is going to pay attention to anything he tells him.

 

BTW, 

I've viewed quite a bit of his speech. 

Still haven't seen anything addressing the day to day issues concerning the legal American citizens of the nation he's supposed to be representing.

Not sure what this whataboutism is all about. Trump is not President. Biden is. Because Biden defeated Trump in 2020. Is that not a line you agree with or something? You think we all shouldn’t wish the best for the election winners?

Most of us want the same things: lower taxes, strong border control, tough on our trade partners, less focus on fringe elements, and freedoms granted in the Bill of Rights.  All legacy republican values, but not the sole domain of republicans. 
 

At the highest level, and when taken in totality, whoever inhabits the White House doesn’t make a tremendous difference, maybe +/- 10% either way, or even less. Allowing ourselves to fixate on how we want things to be, versus making the best of how things are, seems counterproductive.  This November may result in a change, but then again, maybe not.  And in the end, the amount of difference it makes is largely subjective and personal.

Biden blaming the Republicans and “his predecessor” for his Border Fail…including his typical inability to even say Laken Riley’s name RESPECTFULLY…thus…correctly…

Is backfiring. 

He OPENED the border and many of his minions seem to understand that. Uh, oh! 

We’ll now return to the entertaining rebuttals of the few “TDS + Insurrection” screaming haters in here.

Half the country doesn't pay taxes, they couldn't care less how high taxes are.

No one brought me tacos, not the government or anybody else so I took care of myself. The sooner you guys figure out no one is coming and your happiness is on you the better off you’ll be or you can just stay a victim and blame other people because you’re so miserable. It’s not the border, it’s the government that is the problem but you guys keep picking a side and fight amongst yourself just like they want. Go outside and live your dreams and get away from the screens.

You buried the lead:  tell us more about those tacos!  
 

And I agree:  happiness is a choice. Just like being miserable.  Life is 10% what happens and 90% how we respond. Lots of opportunities out there, regardless of what happens in DC.

I didn't read all the pages before this one soooooooooo

"Join us in the mud". What have you done to stop the invasion at the border?   If I had to guess, your the kinda guy that'd be down there welcoming them with open arms.
My mom is a cattle rancher on the AZ / Mexico border and last time I went down there we took a bunch of meat and cooked up a good dinner for a dozen or so border patrol folks. Did I stop the "invasion", of course not, but at least I can sleep a little easier knowing I did something despite how small that something is in the grand scheme of things.

Your meal did less than zero. Didn't think that was possible but it is. The only thing it really did was make you feel good. Were they not getting enough food that you had to feed them? Not saying it 2wasn't a nice gesture, but how does that make the border more secure? It does not. So aside from it was a nice gesture, the border patrol did not get their orders on how to process illegals changed because of your hand out.

Bottom line, I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO MY PART.  That is what the motherfucking government is for.  So funny how people like you want the government involved in every fucking aspect of our lives except for keeping the border safe.....
Pick a lane, homie. You're screaming FUCK BIG GOVERNMENT while also screaming WHERE THE FUCK IS THE GOVERNMENT?!?!

That's intellectually dishonest. Big government refers to government overtaking things that they don't need to be involved in. Securing our border is a constitutional obligation. We shouldn't have to ask for them to do it. And if they can't even do that, they have no business getting involved in what I do with my property. IE: If I can have a shed in the back yard. They are not only NOT securing our border, they are actively bringing in more people adding to the invasion. To throw out "why don't you go to the border" , It's not his job, it's the government's job. The government claims "pay your taxes to fund us to do our job". I'm guessing he paid his taxes. Securing the border from an invasion is not a choice they get to make. They are choosing to not do their job, but it's not our job to do both our job (pay the taxes) and their job.

The dudes we fed: Thank you. Vital Non-Moto: You're gesture of support was worth less than nothing. What an incredibly sad world you live in, dude....

The dudes we fed: Thank you.
Vital Non-Moto: You're gesture of support was worth less than nothing.

What an incredibly sad world you live in, dude.

It's not our job to do both our job (pay the taxes) and their job.
When your neighbor's house is on fire, you do nothing? That's a job for the fire department, not me.
When you see a crime happening that you can stop, you do nothing? That's a job for the police, not me.
When you see someone that needs medical attention, you do nothing? That's a job for the EMT's, not me.

I suppose, unlike you fella's when I see somewhere I can help I'm more of a, "how can I help?", kinda guy where as you all are more of a, "not my job", kinda people. I wouldn't say you hold the the most American of stances but it is what it is I guess. Takes real work to get involved in making the world a better place and it's a lot easier to just sit around on Vital and bitch about it all day hoping someone else will fix the problems for you. I hope doing nothing achieves the results you want because by doing nothing you're letting others dictate how it will be done.

 

And with that, have a great weekend all! We're off to the snow! First weekend off in months and it.is.neeeeded.

"What an incredibly sad world you live in, dude.

It's not our job to do both our job (pay the taxes) and their job.
When your neighbor's house is on fire, you do nothing? That's a job for the fire department, not me."

OK Wombat, calling you out here. Since you're trying to imply that you're a better person than me because you help. How many house fires have you actually helped put out? Car fires? Boat fires? Fires that you had no obligation to help, no compensation, not even an expectation of a thank you, just that you could and jumped into action and put out the fire?

Me: 2 houses saved, and one lost but I got the people to safety. So 3 house fires, to be fair I got a call that my neighborhood was on fire, and when I got home asap, the neighbors house was already burning beyond savable but I got them out and then proceeded to save my own house, the other house I (helped) save years later different fire across town. 2 vehicle fires I put out, and a third one where I got the driver out but the vehicle burned moments after prior to the fire dept getting there. This one I consider the most dangerous, a boat fire across the cove we heard the initial explosion, jumped on the skis zoomed across the cove and was the first and only one to actually get on the boat to help the burned people off and then put out the fire. And a brush fire that the train started and I just happened to be there, ran into a nearby business and grabbed several of their fire extinguishers and ran through the field putting out the fire(s), there were many little ones. Every one of these, there was no backup, if things went sideways, you're fucked. 

So, what's your resume of ACTUALLY putting out fires yourself instead of waiting for the "fire dept" to do it? And don't weasel/wombat out of it claiming you were speaking metaphorically. These were your words.

For the record, I pray for the success of our country, no matter who is in charge. 
By doing that, I would be praying for the success of the ones whose policies are working for the good of our country, and against the success of those whose policies hurt our country.

Trump has literally already won an election. He’s won one and lost one. When he won, there was a peaceful transition of power. Obama, a Democrat, the sitting President, did not call on people to attack the Capitol. Joe Biden oversaw the certification of Trump’s win. Clinton conceded and urged unity. When Trump lost, he refused to partake in the peaceful transition of power and did not concede to Biden. He called on his supporters to attack the Capitol.

Not sure where you’re getting this false notion at that liberals will make J6 look like nothing. The good news though? We won’t have to worry about that. We will, however, have to worry about what Trump will do when he loses. He will of course claim it was rigged and fraudulently stolen again. Who knows what he will tell his supporters to do this time? And some will follow through.

The video is right here. You tell me if his Democratic opponent conceded and wished him well. If you could show me a similar speech from Trump after he lost to Biden in 2020, I’d love to hear it. Send me the link.

”I still believe in America and I always will. And if you do, then we must accept this result and then look to the future. Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead. Our constitutional democracy enshrines the peaceful transfer of power and we don’t just respect that, we cherish it.”
