The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

We sovereignty seekers will get a better deal under Trump. Even if Trump loses, we still will get a better deal if we gain strength in the Senate. No deal now won't hurt Trump since he already is Hitler, so waiting a year makes sense to me. Anything passed now won't stem the tide anyway.

Ace of Spades summed up Mitt's rather poor logic earlier today:

acecomments.mu.nu: Tim Scott Proclaims Grifter Ukraine Immigration "Compromise" "Dead on Arrival;"<br><i>Mitt Romney Claims That Anyone Who Opposes Their Sell-Out Treason "Deal" "

Every single year, the "Gang of Traitors" proposes the same laundry list:

* More money to process illegals faster
* Mass amnesty for children brought illegally to the US -- the "dreamers" -- and also the adult dependents of the Dreamers. Chain amnesty!
* Work visas for illegals
* A "path to citizenship" for illegals

We keep telling them we want:

* a border wall
* more security
* more deportations
* a sharply narrowed definition of who is permitted to claim "asylum" status, which is how most illegals scheme their way into the country

We keep saying the same thing year after year, and the Gang of Traitors says they're finally going to give us border security -- Border security, in these four steps:

* More money to process illegals faster
* Mass amnesty for children brought illegally to the US -- the "dreamers" -- and also the adult dependents of the Dreamers. Chain amnesty!
* Work visas for illegals
* A "path to citizenship" for illegals

Wait...

that's...

that's the exact same thing you've "offered" us since 2002... <--- Spot on.

Yup. If Mitt likes his deal, Mitt can explain WHY he likes his deal and what's in it for the people who actually give a rip about national security.
