    we sure do, then this guy thought prices were too low during Covid and pushed to cut supply, then when demand increased after Covid, the supply was not there - but hey, it's GREAT for the oil and gas industry

    This was done in response to cratering oil prices due to a pissing match between Saudi and Russia. It was threatening to go below US cost of production. And it was smart for Trump to move in to stop it before our oil fields started running in the red and shutting down.
    Context is everything the MSM leaves out.

    It sounds like you don't like capitalism and believe the Big Lie. That clarifies things.

    Anyway, Biden has maintained the tariffs and according to the Council on Foreign Relations "The evidence is clear—the Trump tariffs have failed and the costs on the U.S. economy continue to pile up.....(A) review confirms that harm caused by the tariffs is widespread, significant, and counterproductive to U.S. goals to discipline China’s behavior."



    Desperate families coming to the border and then having their children taken away are arrogant?
    Have you noticed that the further right one goes the more mean spirited one becomes?

    Also it seems to be a right-wing myth that the CBP and DHS no longer exist.

    Your Traitor-in-Chief fomented a VIOLENT INSURRECTION against the duly elected GOVERNMENT of We the People...

    ...which is the OPPOSITE of keeping "government on track" for those of us that live in REALITY.

    I think that's not necessarily so. A really clever illegal using a forged or made up social security number may in fact be able to collect social security if he/she really knows how to work the system.
    https://seniorsleague.org/how-undocumented-workers-are-becoming-entitled-to-social-security/#:~:text=Illegals often get jobs by using illegally obtained,,the Social Security Administration (SSA) using those numbers.
    I don't know what the SSA does with taxes paid using a non-existent social security number. This goes into a special account but whether the government gets to use that money is information difficult to obtain.

    And it is no laughing matter when an illegal accidentally or on purpose uses your social security number that is linked to so many things like your bank accounts, insurance policies, medical files, mortgages, consumer loans etc. If that person gets in trouble financially, racks up a terrible credit rating, obtains a criminal record etc., you might find all that reflecting on you.

    When I was working workers' comp claims, I frequently had claims from illegals who claimed they were injured on the job. We had to obtain the medical records and bills and the addresses most of these people used were fictitious and some were using two, three, four different social security numbers every time they went to the emergency room or urgent care center. It's pretty scary actually.

    Democrats seem completely stymied about why anyone would vote for Trump. Eventually they decide Trump supporters are just stupid. Republicans think his poll numbers go up every time he's indicted because conservatives relate to what he's going through, and that they feel sorry for him. They're both wrong. People, by nature, follow our own self interest. The average person doesn't care about Trump's legal problems or Bidens either. They don't care who is speaker or about transgender or about abortion. They care about whether they'll have enough money to buy groceries. And if there will be enough left so their kids can have extra curricular activities. They care about safety on their streets and having to worry about their kids every time they go outside. People retiring in a few years worry about their 401ks. In short, they realize their lives were simply better under Trump.

    Yes, it seems you have no problem with most of my list, but it seems you are a category of my list that I added later.....the conspiracy theorists.

    Have you been to Appalachia lately? There are just a butt load of disadvantaged white people there. Sometimes the liberals just make it too easy.

    Illegals voting in Presidential elections is the dumbest thing the RW says.
    They don't even understand how elections work.

    Maybe that's why they tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election.

    Illegal aliens are the long term strategy. One million illegal alien couples who aren't allowed to vote will produce 2.6 million offspring who will be able to in just 20 or so years. In 2020, one in four children born in the US was Hispanic. This is a long term strategy for democrats.

    They are poor beyond measure, with most living in abject poverty. For them, it's a struggle trying to feed, house, and clothe their children. I would say that's quite disadvantaged.

    First of all, they aren't "hicks," (your comment was loathsome) they are in extreme poverty. The states where they live are also in fairly deep financial straights, so there is no help on the way. The are being oppressed by generational poverty. If you don't understand this concept, then I really can't help you.
