But you're not being consistent, by your own admission. If you don't think those Trump statements are inciting violence, then you shouldn't believe this is either.

He was out for several days. Something was definitely going on. His health is DEFINITELY a concern for our country. Both his physical health and mental health. Both are in steep declines. As a nation, we need to keep an eye on this, but people closer to him need to keep an even closer eye. He's getting closer and closer to being officially "unfit" for President, even though many of us already know he is.

It's not attacking a woman of color. It is her usurpation of something that she is not that is the problem. She is better than that and everyone knows it and is calling her out on it. Talking like a street thug when everyone knows you are not one is transparent and will be treated as such eventually. mspart

What a stupid thread to begin with. Trump isn't seen for 2 days and this is what happens. We didn't see Biden for weeks and there was no problem. Again applying rules for one that don't apply to the other. Enough of this idiocy. mspart

Oh he'll cheat. No weapons means he gets weapons. Hand fighting means he gets brass knuckles and a baseball bat. But if on equal terms, most people could take him. mspart

Saying a homeless drug addict is a bane to our society has been considered violent speech by the loony lefties. Saying a woman is not a man and a man is not a woman has been characterized as violent speech by the loony lefties. Saying that you want someone dead and/or are wishing for that is considered as violent speech by the loony lefties if it was applied to Kamala or Biden or Newsome, or Pritzker or Walz (you can keep naming names). But when applied to Trump, it is not violent speech. The rules are the rules and they must apply all the time. One cannot just say this was not violent when one calls all other speech violent when aimed their way. I agree it was in bad taste and not the way we want our leaders to speak. But we have had to live by the loony left rules and that it was violence against the president. As we have heard many times, their violent speech demands a physically violent reaction. That is how the colleges play it, that is how the left plays it and it is eggregious behavior to try to change the rules in the middle of the game because it is aimed at someone you hate. Situational rules are stupid and idiotic. Imagine any other thing in society with situational rules. We can see the results in big city real violence and quote "crime reduction efforts." Situational rules are not rules. They allow one group to do what another group cannot. mspart

Congress . Gov? @ThreePointTakedown says over 110b https://www.congress.gov/118/meeting/house/116759/witnesses/HMTG-118-IF02-Wstate-RectorR-20240117.pdf

The center for immigration studies. (2022. So higher when they let more in in 2023+) @ThreePointTakedown Biden’s open borders will cost taxpayers $100 billion — and counting It’s good that the average household income in Martha’s Vineyard is $133,000 a year because, hoo-boy, the illegal immigrants who arrived there from Florida this week are going to cost taxpayers a bundle. Over their lifetimes, all the illegal immigrants Biden has so far added to the United States will cost us about $100 billion. Immigrants don’t create such a large cost for taxpayers because they’re bad or lazy. Immigrants, legal or illegal, are just regular people trying to make it through the day. But their relatively low level of education means the kinds of jobs they can get don’t pay much. That in turn means they pay relatively little in taxes and use more in government services.

I'm not even a "trump supporter", and I feel fighting, especially at my age, to be extremely stupid, but I'd take that action from Walz any time any day.

ABC news? Citing a study above for 151b but calling it more than 100b @ThreePointTakedown https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Business/illegal-immigrants-cost-us-100-billion-year-group/story?id=10699317

Homeland . House . Gov? Says it could be upwards of 451 billion “Taxpayers have to front nearly half a trillion dollars each year because the Biden administration is not stopping migrants at the southern border” WASHINGTON, D.C.—This week, the House Committee on Homeland Security majority, led by Chairman Mark E. Green, MD (R-TN), released a shocking new interim report as part of its ongoing, comprehensive oversight investigation into Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and President Joe Biden’s reckless open-borders policies that have facilitated in the worst border crisis in American history. This report details the immense financial costs of the unprecedented border crisis being borne by American taxpayers, including the costs for health care, shelter, education, and law enforcement, as well as costs forced on private property owners and businesses. According to one estimate, housing and other services just to those who have been released into the United States on Mayorkas’ watch, or entered as known gotaways, could exceed $451 billion. https://homeland.house.gov/2023/11/16/what-they-are-saying-homeland-majoritys-fourth-interim-report-on-the-financial-cost-of-secretary-mayorkas-border-crisis/

And on a podcast earlier this year, he was recorded saying he could probably beat up any of the Trump supporters.

News nation and news week? @ThreePointTakedown American taxpayers shelled out more than $150 billion on immigrants in the U.S. illegally in 2023 alone, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) estimates. DOGE, which is expected to become a federal agency in Donald Trump’s upcoming administration, said in a social media posting the spending compares to projects such as building the Hoover Dam, funding World War I and constructing the atomic bomb and accounted for 2% of the overall U.S. budget. Newsweek reported that if accurate, the $150.7 billion spent on illegal immigration would rival the $151 billion that the government spent in 2023 to provide income security programs to military veterans and their families in 2023. https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/immigration/illegal-immigration-cost-us-taxpayers-150-7b-doge/amp/

And then there’s bashing the Tesla stock, excited that the stock price was dropping. Meanwhile, the state pension fund includes Tesla stock. And then soon after one of his own employees is arrested for vandalizing Teslas..

Interesting choice of words…. What?! Fear of something non-existent? Sorry I’m not religious. You’ll have to point out these so called facts because I don’t recall you posting anything but AI vibes and fear.

Budget . House . Gov ? @ThreePointTakedown WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, the House Budget Committee held a hearing entitled “The Cost of the Border Crisis” to highlight the importance of border security and the fiscal implications of President Biden’s failed border policies. Witnesses from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), Texas Public Policy Foundation’s “Secure and Sovereign Texas” Initiative, and Kinney County, Texas, testified before the committee to show the impacts of the border crisis, particularly the southern border, on a local, state, and federal level. Some key moments from the hearing: Chairman Arrington (R-TX): “The greatest national security threat to the American people is posed by these open borders. The social cost has consistently been well in front of the American people. But I don't think we've talked enough about the financial burden to taxpayers and the fiscal impact. The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) has done a great job. Studies suggest this cost is upwards of $400 billion, but their cost estimate is $150 billion. The lion's share of that cost is borne by state and local governments. State and local governments can't borrow or print money like the federal government, so they have to balance their budgets by either absorbing this cost through raising taxes or they have to cut services to their citizens.” https://budget.house.gov/press-release/the-cost-of-the-border-crisis-1507-billion-and-counting

Prob even a Trump voter.

Your source is an AI manifested number? Any idea where AI found it or are you just trusting, without verifying, anything that you think supports your point. FYI the first actual link/story from American Immigration Council makes the point that it’s not worth the $ to try mass deportation. If you want to cut off your nose to spite your face that is your choice. But spending less and gaining more is better business and anyone with experience in business would agree. Who do we know that might fit that description?

There’s someone for everyone.

Where is the call for violence? All he does is acknowledge the rumor of bad health, acknowledge he would be happy if Trump died, and then acknowledged that one day, Trump will die. Tasteless? Sure! Not how I would like a legislator to act (though Trump is the last one who gets to complain about decorum). But he doesn't call for anybody to harm the President. I think we could all benefit from being a little less sensitive and reactionary. This is exactly the kind of hysteria that conservative rightfully criticize from liberals. You might call it WDS.

Can you do us a favor and site your source?

Lol. What I said was “When talking about a police union the union leadership are most often officers in the department they represent. They are voted into those positions by members that are 100% officers from the department they represent.” You then said “UNION REPS ARE NOT 100% OFFICERS FROM THE DEPARTMENT THEY REPRESENT.” Which in no way contradicted what I had said. So are you accusing me of going from saying “most often” to “typically”? That’s an odd distinction to call out, but you do that a lot. I then asked you to find the individuals in the leadership of the union that represents DC MPD officers that arent MPD officers and you declined to do that. You might be able to find some law enforcement union somewhere where the leadership isn’t 100% officers from that agency, but I don’t know of one. There are hundreds? Thousands? Of locally organized police unions in this country. Even if you find an exception it will not change the overall conclusion.

Self accountability for what exactly?
