    I correct myself. If they had included free Gatorade sprinklers for every house, then it would be brilliant.

    What's sad and a sign of how far the GOP has fallen, there are numerous bullet points on this platform I agree with. Like yes, we should secure our border better. But building a giant wall and using the Navy to go after fentanyl is idiotic. Bringing troops home from overseas to secure the border? Dumb. Spend billions and billions to try and deport all the illegals? Super dumb.

    Like, give me realistic solutions that I can get behind. Not idiotic talking points that would cost trillions of dollars.

    and don't forget Project 2025, in spite of their attempts to deflect, minimize, deny, or distance themselves from it.

    It is always fascinating how dystopian some of you folks think everywhere you don't live is.

    Their new slogan wrote itself... Walz watched the thugs and did nothing to stop the Bolshevik Loving Marxists from burning down Minneapolis... And Kamala Harris was engaged in bailing out the thugs that were burning it down.

    Harris/Walz -- Burn It Down And Bail Them Out


    It's their slogan... which they wrote with their actions/inaction.

    And he had FOUR YEARS and never passed an immigration reform bill. He excoriated Obama for signing so many Executive Orders and when he became POTUS he became "Captain EO."

    Wow, Minneapolis is burned down? The whole city? Like I said, it is amazing how dystopian some people think the world is due to their TVs and social media.

    Not to mention the effect on food prices from the mass deportation.
    USDA ERS - Farm Labor

    And that doesn't include the meatpacking industry in which a significant number of undocumented immigrants are also employed.

    Indeed. I’m a freak about defending the constitution and free speech, but Trump’s definition of “defending” has been radically different than mine historically.

    These morons also believe Chicago is engulfed in gang violence.

    The damage Murdoch and his clones have done to the simple minds in this country is incalculable. That word means, "really big," Trump fans.

    I am enjoying the contradictory commitments. "Defend freedom of speech, but also deport pro-Hamas radicals for their speech!" Typical. Project 2025 is the Republican platform. It's what they'll do if elected.

    Extreme vetting sounds dangerously close to enhanced interrogation.

    Agreed. This bullet-point is ridiculous and shows little Trumpf knows about the Iron Dome, which is for short-range missiles only.

    So, unless Mexico or Canada is planning to attack us, Iron Dome America would be utterly useless.

    Number 21 was: "Demonstrate basic human empathy" but they knew that was even more ridiculous.
