I wonder about the 'liberal press' in this country that the republicans think is so supportive of Libs and Dems. 

We have Sinema raking in millions in contributions from her rich corporate peeps. Manchin making over half million a year and in bed with the energy, particularly coal companies, while his daughter was one of the people who price gouged people in the epi pen scandal and his son runs the family's coal company business and the liberal press has NOTHING to say about it? 

The two people holding up the Dems agenda are ironically the two people who are in corporate's pockets, but NO ONE APPEARS TO BE EXPOSING THEM!!

That's are regular immigration. However we take in allot of Middle East refugees. 

They are vetted quite well, much better than the US. Probably because our southern border I'd with the US. 

We don't let everyone in though, that's forsure. Allot of US citizens thought they could just come on up after Trump won LOL. I lived on the border at the time.

Trump lost money hand over fist! Trump lost over $50 million during his presidency from just his DC hotel and claimed to have made over 3 times as much profit! 

Do you think Fox Noise or OAN will be playing this for their viewers and even if they found out, do you think that they have the capacity to realize it's just another lie he's conned them with and actually be capable of change? 

I don't think reality matters in the least to them! Their fragile egos could never cope with the fact that they have been wrong for so long. They are like lemmings literally! Such amazing gullibility and loyalty just being exploited to my delight ??

Well he didn't get a salary for being the president. LOL

That's a bad thing? So Canada is a desirable safe place to live and has a good economy. That's why people want to move here. 

So how would it make sense to let anyone and everyone come in, use the social services and free Healthcare without contributing to the country? 

Then it would just become the same as the countries they came from and would be less desirable and safe to it's citizens. 

However, our priminister awarded a terrorist 10.4 million dollars for apparent "human right violations he suffered in GITMO by the US.

Here's what I detest quite a bit about republicans. 

It's not just the embrace of trump but it's the embrace of someone who's cut corners in every aspect of his life! From personal development to his businesses to his friends and family. 

This man is a scum, piece of garbage that is detrimental to all of humanity and the fact that republicans are unable to see people like him, Ted Cruz, Hawley, Mjt and so many others like him for what they really are, just makes me dismissive of them on so many levels! For me there's no redeeming features for people who can embrace people like that even if he gives them what they think they want! 

Old acquaintance robs an elderly person's home and steals money and then offers you some, do you take it? That is how I view trump and the people who support him!

They will take the money! 

Here's how I feel about democrats. 

If it particularly discusting that they try and say POC like myself are oppressed. That the odds are stacked against me all because of the color of my skin. That I need government programs or special treatment to be equal to my white counter parts. Like less requirements to college and university or preference for a job because I could never equal the white person applying for the same position. . Because you know, us poc couldn't manage any of that on our own. They do this while calling everyone and anyone racists at the same time. ! Hypocrisy!!  Or need them to take care of me because I'm a victim. Or that they support me as a women but have canceled the word with "birthing people, "people who mensturate". Then have the nerve to tell me I'm excluding people when at the exact same time, they exclude me as a woman.tell me I'm a bigot for referring to me breastfeeding my baby not as "chest feeding".  Tell me I have to reconize everyone for the identity they choose while telling me I can't say woman and my gender doesn't exist because gender is a social construct. 

My favorite is what they label me as a POC who is conservative as "one of them or a white supremacists sympathizer and much worse because, bed wench etc" because I hold opinions different then theirs and what they say I should belive and subscribe to according to my skin color. I do not think the right way because I'm a poc so how could I support Trump? Or think for myself?   I guess Biden was right, "if you ain't for me, then you ain't black"! 

I could go on and on. ......

A perfect illustration of a biased news source, and a reader eager to gobble up what they want to feed them:

"In federally mandated public financial disclosures from 2016 through 2020, Trump reported that the Trump Hotel generated more than $150 million in revenue. In reality, the property accumulated losses in excess of $70 million, according to the committee"

Revenue is how much money was brought in, no matter how much was lost.

We have Sinema raking in millions in contributions from her rich corporate peeps. Manchin making over half million a year and in bed with the energy, particularly coal companies, while his daughter was one of the people who price gouged people in the epi pen scandal and his son runs the family's coal company business and the liberal press has NOTHING to say about it? 

The two people holding up the Dems agenda are ironically the two people who are in corporate's pockets, but NO ONE APPEARS TO BE EXPOSING THEM!! 

Nobody seems to be calling out the "peacefull " bathroom stalker that harassed one of them in the bathroom!! However parents at school boards are "domestic terrorist". I'm mean seriously. Can you not see this redicoulaness? Is there a complex where calling out this type of garbage somehow is complimenting Trump or something?

Practically all of congress is on someone's dole in the big industry sector.   Why focus on these two because it suits your agenda?

As for Machin's daughter, it was all over the press and then the story passed.  I'm sorry it wasn't scandalous enough for you.

I really do wish you would provide links sometimes to clarify what you're talking about.

I did hear of the bathroom protest and didn't approve even if it was "peaceful" and not violent.  Bathrooms are not the place.  However, I can't find anywhere people have been defending it as a "peaceful protest", so a link to that would be helpful.  Although it might be true that right wing press and Fox News made a much bigger deal than the mainstream.

As far as the "domestic terrorist" I had to Google what you're talking about.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2021/10/07/school-boards-don't-call-fbi/6035611001/

They are saying things like "Biden just called us domestic terrorists" which I don't think is true.  It was the Nations School Board Association that wanted them looked into as such.

I think you are missing the point. 

The entire family is capitalist bent but represents a state that has lots of poor and underprivileged people which Biden’s plan is perfect for. Yet Manchin is baulking, why? 

How about Sinema? Is her state any better?

There was almost an Insurrection and with an atmosphere provided by the republicans of lies and innuendos, Dems need to be lockstep with each other until after the midterms. The Dems are in a boat with many holes plugged by many fingers and removal of just a couple of fingers means everyone dies, literally! 

What do you think would have happened to this country if trump had won?
