    My chance to what? Bet you that you either were or weren't born in Florida, which you can't seem to decide on. Okay, I will take the side that you either were or weren't born in Florida and you take the side that you were neither. Deal?

    Because the Pubs went through south Florida accusing the Dems of being socialists and they accepted that.

    I tried. I really did. I couldn’t make it very far. That said, the quote—I’m sure you’d agree—is off the chart unacceptable under any circumstance or standard. Trump doesn’t get a pass simply because he makes these kind of disgusting quotes all the time. I’m flat out finish3d hearing the Trumpeteer attempting to excuse and apologize and explain away inexcusable behavior.

    Let's make sure we're talking about the same quote. What did Trump say? His exact words.

    “Democrats said please don’t call them animals. I said, no, they’re not humans, they’re animals."

    As I said, I only know the quote that was reported. I tried to listen to the “speech” but I couldn’t make it past about 60 seconds— misleading fear porn at its height. So I didn’t get to the “juicy part”

    He said it very clearly, no ambiguity whatsoever.

    So, you heard Trump say the word "immigrants"?

    They’ll just see he didn’t mean it that way and was obviously taken out of context. :rolleyes: The amount of goal post moving Trumpers do to justify his behavior is certainly a sight to behold.

    Boomtown issues. They are difficult problems to solve, but much better than the opposite, which places like Springfield has been dealing with for about 20 years. Springfield has been losing about an average of 1,000 residents a year, which means less tax revenues to operate under, and more businesses failing because there are less customers to shop locally. Since the arrival of the Haitians, things have changed. The city hit $1 billion in tax values for the first time ever in 2023, and tax collections in 2025 is projected to be 1.8% higher.

    This might be the dumbest quote in the history of quotes:

    So they aren't working, but people are hiring them? They voluntarily chose to come to the US, which is "almost like a case of human trafficking." And both business owners and migrants might wonder why neither of them are better off in their voluntary transaction of labor for money.

    I am going to guess that people have been saying the same thing in this country for more than 200 years.
