Technological advancement is what has pulled billions of people out of poverty. Giving handouts to layabouts isn't an ideal allocation of resources if we want to progress as a civilization.

What exactly is your paste here supposed to prove? That Biden is trying to blame Trump for the border disaster that he caused? Give me a break. Here are some Republican Senators talking about their criticisms of the bill: https:/&#x2F

Illegal aliens operate outside of minimum wage laws obviously. Yes that is one of the things that bill would have done, along with hundreds of other things which may or may not have been beneficial or detrimental. And again, Trump didn&#x27

It wasn't 100% open, but it was open enough to let in several millions of people who should not have been allowed in.

The border was de facto open since there was no serious enforcement. Because there was no space to detain millions of people, the majority were processed and then simply let go into the U.S. with a "Notice to Appear" set for 2030.

"Deportations" is an ambiguous term, which may or may not include people turned away at the border and actual categories like Removals, Returns, and Expulsions.

Again, you're mistaking a Senator representing a state vs the people in a state. The Senator represents the state, no matter if they got 51% or 100%. What makes you say that Republican senators represent a minority of the population? T

And the only plausible explanation: The President is dealing with hundreds of issues per day, including pardoning many people via recommendation. Someone came to him and said "we should pardon this guy who got a bum rap from Biden&quot

So you've abandoned the "majority" vote argument, and now you're saying the individual vote tallies in that state don't matter. So if 49% of California voted Republican, but both Senators are Democrats, then the ent

Fine, remodeling. The specific word is not finally the point. Incessant semantic pedantry doesn't change the fact that Trump is not destroying the White House. Most people understand that any sort of "remodeling" or "ren

Is this a joke? You think Democrat Senators got 24 million more votes? Where are you getting these nonsense numbers? Update Here are some rough numbers I found quickly (because your numbers are obvious nonsense): President R - 77.

Again, you're saying "minority rule". But Trump (Republican) won the popular vote. So which party is the minority? Do you have another way of determining which party is the majority/minority besides votes for the Preside

Do you have a better way of determining which party is the "majority" in Congress? That is what we are discussing here. Whether the current makeup of Congress accurately represents the votes of the people or not. Obviously I under

Trump easily won the popular vote. What makes you say that they represent a minority of the population? The fact that both the House and Senate are nearly 50% by party again points to the fact that we have a good balance.

So the White House is being renovated then, right? Bingo.

We don't have minority rule though, we have a balance.

This country was a frontier in 1819. We needed labor to tame the wilderness. We don't need more unskilled laborers anymore. We have immigration laws. The US is incredibly generous, and naturalizes more than 1 million immigrants each ye

Yes, it is being renovated. Adding a new room is renovation. They aren't demolishing the entire White House...

You think they're too dumb to understand the difference between "tearing down" and "renovating"? I assure you, they are not.

This just doesn't align with reality; your chart is practically meaningless. Yes, in rural areas you often need to drive further than 1 mile to get to a grocery store. That doesn't mean that normal food doesn't exist for thes

There is no religious argument here. Either it's a baby or it's not. Either you're killing another human being or you're not. You don't need to believe in "souls" to find this type of killing abhorrent. Sp

When exactly does a fetus become a baby? At the point of birth? There is no easy way out of this dilemma. Opinion polls are very easy to game by phrasing questions differently. Ask people at what number of weeks is it ok to crush a growing
