I don't know why this is so hard to believe. It's a perfectly logical path to riches for an illegal immigrant. 

 

Leave a situation of poverty and destitution

Risk your life crossing the border into the US

Get a borderline slave wage job as an undocumented worker

Save up money for years

Spend it all on fentanyl

Give the fentanyl away for free to stop Biden



Post of the Year nomination!

Republicans called Biden’s infrastructure program ‘socialism.’ Then they asked for money.

 

US Republican Reps. Tom Emmer, Paul Gosar and Ashley Hinson. All three voted against a bipartisan infrastructure bill last year but signed on to requests for money from that legislation to fund projects for their constituents.
 

Last November, GOP Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota released a statement slamming the passage of the freshly approved infrastructure law he referred to as “President Biden’s multi-trillion dollar socialist wish list.”

 

Then in June, Emmer – the House Republican campaign chairman leading attacks on Democrats for supporting the law – quietly submitted a wish of his own.

 

In a letter to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Emmer expressed his hearty support for a multimillion dollar grant to improve part of Highway 65 in his district. The work was critical, Emmer argued, not just for his constituents, but for people all over Minnesota. Crashes were leading to fatalities. Congestion was leading to huge delays. Plus, Emmer added, “this grant also strives to serve as a social justice measure.”

 

Emmer’s plea is one of dozens obtained by CNN in response to a public records request, full of instances like Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville modulating his tone from accusing the law of “using fuzzy math and IOU’s to hide the real cost,” to appealing to Buttigieg because “as a former mayor, you understand better than anyone the time and money that goes into applying for highly competitive grants.

 

The letter writers include high profile attackers of government spending, as well as several in tight reelection races, such as Florida Rep. María Elvira Salazar and California Rep. David Valadao, who like Emmer, slammed the Biden law in public and then behind the scenes asked for money from it.

 

Most members have not publicly mentioned the letters they sent petitioning for money from the bill they derided. Many, when contacted by CNN about their requests, either ignored questions or insisted that they were being consistent with their criticisms of the law with the requests they made.

More of this please, Mr. President

 

This kind of pushback on the "infrastructure is socialist" nonsense needs to be included when Biden is speaking in prime time or more high profile settings, not relegated to a Friday afternoon, because this point needs to be driven home loudly & clearly.

It’s been pretty wild to watch how excited the MagaKlan trolls are getting about OPEC.  Just complete and utter capitulation to Saudi Arabia and Russia without even the slightest hint of patriotism left.

 

Hey, according to them, if Trump was President, this fight between Russia and Ukraine wouldn't be happening, and Russia would be supplying energy to Europe.  

 

The silly thing is, in this case, the Klan is right.  

 

If Trump were President, the US would have immediately endorsed the Russian invasion, Ukraine would have received no aid whatsoever, (well, maybe.  If they would agree to investigate Hunter Biden, first.), And the US would have immediately recognized the Russia-conquered territories as a legitimate part of Russia.  The war would be over by now, and Putin would have everything he wanted.  

 

I like this outcome better.

There aren't many things that I hate on this planet, but this vile creature is near the top of the list.

The guy opposing her in the mid-terms is Marcus Flowers.  I donated to his campaign...so, if you feel inclined to hate her with your wallet, you know where to do so.  (And the normal people of GA would thank you.)   :)

Thanks for that, I'll most definitely be throwing a few bucks his way.

Actually, Don would have joined Russia in invading Ukraine. Say Ukraine tried to steal election and they must pay.

"Pot"?  It's called weed now. Republicans are so out of touch.  

 

I don't know what either of those things are. Is that the same as that reefer stuff I hear those bad kids who hang out on the corner talk about sometimes?

I swear, I'm trying to quit. 

 

Only been at it since I was 8.  (Yes, I'm a true Virginian.)  

 

You have been smoking cigs since you were 8?  I quit 5 years ago, found success with the nic pills you can get at Walmart and the sprays that only appear to be available on eBay.  The patch never worked for me, just made me itch.

 

Good luck.
