The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

The spin that Biden and Mayorkas told us for three years that the border IS secure was not working and so this compromise was offered. Deep down there has been no change to Biden's baseline open border principles so it easy to predict he would not use the bill to secure the border. If anything he would use the funding in the bill to increase intake capacity and provide services to the immigrants and still do nothing to reduce the arrival rate.

This. Every leftie poster here has been gaslit so many times they're now out there doing the same thing, even formerly level-headed and reliable ones. It's sad to see.

It's also like Biden's cabinet wasn't running around saying "The border is closed, the border is secure" for years.
