The bipartisan border package is horrible. It would cause a lot of harm

Tell me what it says that's so horrible. If you would, please enlighten me to what specific clauses are horrifying. Appreciate it!

Narrator: A common tactic of engagement from the liberal is feigning interest in a topic, as observed here. They undulate and warble in a way that mimics genuine interest to lure their targets into conversation, their goal, unknown. Science has yet to discover why a liberal will engage in this performance. Their target tries to engage with this dance in good faith, over time, as the target finds themselves talking in circles, they realize the deception. Not a completely useless exchange, however, as it signals to the rest of the spectors withing the area not to waste their energy, reserving it for another day.

Me: You're a fucking removed. You've no comprehension skills and you can't put forth the slightest logic. You do appeal to emotional nonsense well... republican much?

Well first of all it gives the president the abilty to shut the border down until they figure out what the hell is going on - which is disgusting increase in executive power. It increases the amount of detention beds and detention officers - so increased concentration camp capacity and guards.

The whole thing seeks to solve the alleged border crisis - a right wing myth that the US's second right wing party has finally decided to vocally adopt. All that solving the border crisis means is more inhumanity toward people trying to cross the southern border due to the effects of climate change, US imperialism and neocolonism.

I hope you appreciate it smuglord border nazi

Where in the bill is this stated?

I asked for specific wording clarification. While I appreciate the editorial, the source (you) is questionable.

It sounds as if you don't really know what you're talking about even though you're making this super emotional appeal but it's not backed up by fact one. And that's even after I asked for facts.

Your stance in no way influenced my thinking. What's more it makes me suspicious of you.

M'Liege, I have retrieved yon bill for ye.

improve-society

“(3) ACTIVATIONS OF AUTHORITY.—

“(A) DISCRETIONARY ACTIVATION.—The Secretary may activate the border emergency authority if, during a period of 7 consecutive calendar days, there is an average of 4,000 or more aliens who are encountered each day.

“(B) MANDATORY ACTIVATION.—The Secretary shall activate the border emergency authority if—

“(i) during a period of 7 consecutive calendar days, there is an average of 5,000 or more aliens who are encountered each day; or

“(ii) on any 1 calendar day, a combined total of 8,500 or more aliens are encountered.

Now you may say, "Aha, we have you hyperbolic hexbears now, it clearly says that the president doesn't just get to shut it down until they figure out 'what the hell is going on'!"

smuglord

Which is correct. What it does is tie their hands such that they must shut the border down when an arbitrary number is reached, so they don't have to actually do anything and can plead their powerlessness when it happens. After all it's not up to them, it's just a mandate of a conservative law... that they want to pass.

Because you don't want to look at the bill because you're racist and hate immigrants, multiple people have responded with multiple sources including the bill itself.

Now it's already very clear to everyone here that your "stance" wouldn't be changed by anything and you're simply masking your apathy and racism by feigning scepticism, but are you even going to try and come back here and pretend otherwise? I highly doubt it, but hopefully your brilliant truth-seeking mind will prove me wrong!

Because your too stupid to understand what you read and so you stupidly assume all the bullshit between your fucking ears is real.

Piss off asshole. Go wave your silly dick at some red hatted idiots and forget I exist. Fucking removed.

Buddy, we already knew that no amount of facts could influence your thinking. You're a liberal.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I'm not your buddy, asshole. Facts are all that affect my "thinking". You're an idiot.

Genuinely curious, do you think it matters to anyone in an online forum if you are vaguely suspicious of them? I'm not sure why you would even say that. What are you trying to accomplish?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

mods! mods! this poster is vaguely suspicious, arrest them at once! i-spil-my-jice

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My curiosity is piqued... do you think your questions to ethereal internet entities entreaties you to answer? What are you thinking Snidely?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Nah, whatever fella. We saw how you felt about it. Why are you returning to the trough now, weeks later?

Are we rent-free?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can go read it yourself. Your blind faith will prevent you from doing so.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

You know they haven't read it because the two things i mentioned are in the bill and they denied them being there lol
