Election year 2020

[Kev3188]

At this point, the election isn't about policies; it's about what sort of America you want. If you prefer the angry, exhausted nation we've become, by all means vote accordingly.

I think that we're better than this. I still believe in the ideas of Common Good and Shared Sacrifice.

Hope isn't a strategy, but clear-eyed optimism is a path forward.

That's what I want for all of us.

Just make sure to vote. Bring your friends with you.

Peace.

You do realize some, not all but some, of those parents never came back or rather spoke up for their children. They are doing so on purpose because they think the American Gov. will just give them legal citizenship instead of sending them back without the parents. What they are really doing is abandoning their children in hopes they will get citizenship for free, sad but true. The parents risked their children's lives by marching several thousands of miles in horrendous conditions and even having women, children and men die from trying to come into America illegally. If that is not child abuse, I don't know what is. The parents should be locked up for child abuse, child endangerment, child abandoning, as well as breaking the law of illegally crossing the borders. Using these children in a way to stop or abandon illegal border crossing is BS! It's same thing when the police or ICE goes and rounds up all illegals from work and home and the next few days all the lefty and fake news that want to spread negativity on Trump will only cover the children and families that they were taken from. Well guess what? They should became legal in the legal way to stay in America, not the Gov's fault it is fully the parents fault, not mine, not yours, not the Gov's, not ICE, not even border patrol it is the PARENTS FAULT solely and ONLY!!! Period. The border patrol, ICE and the Gov. is simply doing their jobs as they are suppose to and protect America and keep our borders safe. Stop with using the children, families and any other excuses, when you brake the law you will have to face the consequences, and if that means you may get seperated from your children, wife, husband, family, then so be it. That was the chance these parents took and the children should be taken from them as they abused them, put them in deadly circumstances, and risked the children's lives. So on a short note, I do feel sorry for the children, BUT, that's not no ones fault but the parents--period...

I for love of God cannot understand why any parents would dump their kids like that. No good excuse. Being a single parent to my special needs son is rewarding despite challenges but when I hear this it truly breaks my heart

That is leftist code for "I believe in socialism and redistribution of wealth".

Right, vote for a career politician like Joe Biden..... that will freshen us right up.

Absurd.

If n that's a big if if trump wins I believe he will end social security and Medicare and Medicaid. If that happens no one will be able have it. The ACA which has helped millions of Americans would likely be stripped n those with pre existing conditions are hosed. Those are reasons why I voted Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I dont believe either Biden nor trump are good choices but I look at it as Biden being better choice than trump. And Biden is more empathy for people

What makes you think Trump would end SS, Medicare, etc.? Is it because some one told you he would? Do you know Biden's record on Social Security? Google it, you maybe surprised!

Now this is the man you plan on voting for? The American press wouldn't touch this! But the British aren't too impressed with him!

Get the facts before you make a judgement about Trump. Here's what you should know! It tells you what Biden's record on Social Security really is!
Fact check: Biden voted to tax Social Security, wants to reform retirement benefits

Sounds like scripture.

Trump stated it when he stated he would end payroll taxes facts

Reform is different than stripping away SS n Medicare and Medicaid

Where should I start. Trump told us he would. Oh...he didn't come right out and say it, but lets see what he's done...and what he proposed.

Trump eliminated the payroll tax, however many employers have NOT passed it on, since their employees will have to pay it back next year. Not to worry, Trump has said several times that he will make that cut to zero permanent if he is reelected.

And that's great....a tax cut for the middle class. But do you know what the payroll tax funds? Social Security and Medicare. And when the source of funding is gone....what happens?

Not to worry....our business genius has a plan. It will become part of the general budget. You know that budget, don't you? The one that had a trillion dollar deficit BEFORE corornavirus and has a TWO trillion dollar deficit now? So this might bump it up another trillion, but what's another trillion between friends?

And Trump has said he is the "king of debt"....and judging from our economy, it's the only time he HASN'T lied. But that debt led to....bankruptcies. So we've got THAT to look forward to. He borrowed to build casinos...bankrupt (three times and a holding company once). He borrowed to buy an airline...bankrupt. Now he wants to borrow to run a country, in what is supposed to be the best economy in the history of mankind. The best economy and still...TWO TRILLION DOLLARS short of what we budgeted. So what do YOU think will happen to Social Security and Medicare should the business genius get what he wants?

And yeah...Biden voted to tax social security. But you know something? I'm on social security and I have a pension. Do you know how much of my social security was taxed? $0.00. Yep - nothing. Of course, I am able to live a good life without a 6 figure annual income, and folks in that bracket would indeed see their SS taxed to some degree.

Why does he think that? Leftist fear mongering and social conditioning. Remember when Biden said "Well I tell you what, If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black"? That should tell you all you need to know about the Democrats.

Frankly Blacks, who had to FIGHT for the right to vote, should be insulted that Democrats use voting as some sort of racial purity test.

Shows you what Democrats REALLY think of Black people.

haha, ok. if one votes for trump - they want an angry, exhausted nation.

joe biden is a $3 bill. the man 'of the people', 'unions'...blah, blah, blah. this guy is the epitome of establishment.

joe biden voted for nafta....biden never lifted a finger for an 'improved' nafta as joe admitted trump did with the USMCA... joe biden voted for china favored trade nation status in 2000 - allowing china into wto...joe biden was hot for the tpp..until trump killed it.

as senator or vp, when did joe biden stand up to china manipulating it's currency or stealing american intellectual property?? the chinese are hotter for biden in the white house than joe was hot for the tpp.

joe biden would also open up the borders and give amnesty to at least an estimated 11-13 million illegals. joe biden will also eliminate trump's measured h-1b visa program - which will cost american graduates good jobs and higher wages.

all those issues are anti-wages, anti-worker, anti-labor.

trump:
- helped businesses by cutting taxes and decreasing regulations

combined with helping blue-collar workers:
- curbing illegal immigration
- killing the tpp and redoing nafta to the USMCA (which even biden admitted is an improvement)

and the biggest issue pertaining to airlines - the usa is now energy-indepedent. is there any reason to start a discussion about this and what it would mean to airlines/employees to smother the shale/fracking oil revolution in it's infancy?

joe is going to tell me about trump's secret china bank account or $750 tax bill?

joe greased the path for trump - for all that. china makes it mandatory for joint ventures and chinese banking if a foreign company is to enter china. joe greased the path as a politician. these are the rules china demanded and joe signed off and was ok with.

as a private citizen, trump took advantage of the tax laws, that trump didn't write, but, what biden voted on.

the establishment is banking on a biden victory. the chinese are willing to throw hundreds of millions to sell-out american politicians and organizations (chamber of commerce). stop the tariffs. give us favored trade status. give us your jobs.

easy vote. easy.

joe biden is their man.

Minor point, but while Biden may have voted for NAFTA and while Clinton may have signed NAFTA...NAFTA was the dream of Republicans since Reagan. Back in those days though, it wasn't uncommon for members of one party to cross the aisle and vote. But those days are over.

And just as an example, can you share how much of the tax cut in 2017 made it to your paycheck? It was supposed to raise worker pay since companies would have so much more money. But I have had a helluva time finding anyone who has gotten any significant increase....certainly not more than they got before the tax cut. And while they were touting all the companies that paid a $1.000 bonus in 2017, they switched back to a Christmas ham after that.
