Going by the Ukraine morons' logic;
Russia must figure out who is more moral: The Republic of Texas or human trafficking drug cartels? And morally back them.
Russia is not obligated to send weapons by ship to Port Houston but doing so would be morally unobjectionable and would in no way risk escalation.
Any innocent immigrants lost are the sole responsibility of the cartels and none at all to Russia or her Texan clients.

RealClear Politics has Trump smashing Haley by over 30 points in her home state of South Carolina. Pathetic!!
She is the Dick Cheney wing of the party as Rand Paul says, and those in her state who know her best know this very well.
Republican voters nationwide are making it very clear they want nothing to do with this establishment clown.
They want Trump.

Senator Rand Paul:
"I've seen her involvement in the military industrial complex; eight million dollars paid to become part of the team."
"It really gets to me when I see people who I think care more about the borders of Ukraine than they care about our own southern border."
"[Nikki Haley] is from the [Mitch] McConnell/Dick Cheney wing of the party."
Question: What was covered up, about covid?
Paul: "The fact that the US government, at the beheast of Anthony Fauci, funded it."
"As things come together, to me this is the greatest cover-up in our history."

On the right isn't that the Office of Nuclear Energy official that Biden appointed? Entrusted with our nuclear technology then caught stealing three thousand dollar Vera Bradley luggage at the airport a month into the job.
All of our lives are at risk so some criminal lunatics can benefit from diversity hiring.
But MAGA is a cult. Right.

Trump's policy positions are why he has any popularity whatsoever. There is no cult. MAGA doesn't end when Trump goes away.
Can confirm. He's great, but I don't care about him, I only care about defeating our overlords/destroyers. From a strictly MAGA standpoint, I hope they jail or assassinate him. All their supporters will celebrate like the short-sighted simpletons they are. They are accommodating us with their infinite stupidity so far, now we just need them to definitively show the last few people on earth who still can't quite grasp they're not the good guys. Then, later, when MAGA ascends, we will do what needs doing free from interference or even objections from any sector.
You think his personality has an unnerving grip on people now, Gus? That's very cute. Buckle up.

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said on Friday that Israel had financed the creation of Palestinian militant group Hamas, publicly contradicting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who has denied such allegations.

RFK, Jr spells out how the Mexican drug cartels are bringing people in from around the world, the suffering it is causing and how the cartels "are running US immigration policy."
"We need to close the border right now."
" I was a person who ridiculed Trump's wall. And now I've been down there and talked to everybody down there ... we cannot survive what is happening there now."
The border must be shut down.
It can open back up after the invasion is addressed and those responsible dealth with, if we ever get that far.
-
Nice try. Except that "one irrational person comes along" is actually an intentional invasion.
Good talk. Thanks.

It did not require all other countries to be free, and some immigration did come from people fleeing non-free countries.
Nor did anyone say it would.
I said that: only under total freedom everywhere on the planet will we know what the "normal" level of immigration into and out of America, and by whom, is. Only then would all the economic unseparations that distort incentives and foreign unfreedoms that drive victims to relative shelter finally be absent, to reveal the "normal level of immigration." Until then, "normal immigration" is an ungrounded and meaningless reference. You can't even hope to know so much as whether American immigration would be net in or net out, under condition of the absence of every distorting unfreedom around the globe.
-
Yes, we need deal with the people enabling this.
And we have every right to stop the destruction they are engineering. Texas has every right to try. Every American citizen has the moral right to go there and try, until it stops.
Then we can enact certain economic separations.
Then we can open immigration back up and find out for the first time what "normal immigration" levels really are. Maybe zero. America is an expensive place to live. Telework more and more common. Yeah, maybe zero. Maybe very negative immigration under total freedom, because every country is free in this scenario. So why not telework from the cheapest beach on earth? America might empty into Florida and Central and South America. Northerly immigration could be totally contrary to "normal immigration," for all we know, given the current chaos from the various economic un-separations that distort everything.
Therefore, we have to close the border, deal with the elite globalists doing all of this to us, enact total freedom, implement total freedom, globally, and THEN you will be able to point at the resultant immigration level and for the first time be able to plausibly claim to know what the normal level is.

Normal immigration is not like this, and to confuse this invasion with normal immigration
You are the party confusing our situation with one of living in a free country with certain economic separations and normal immigration.
It is ungrounded thinking to insist on principles that only work in specific contexts, over facts on the ground and actual self-interests given those facts. The results apply to hypothetical worlds and not to our own.
-
Standing by and watching our overlords engineer a takeover of the last chance for human freedom on this planet for purpose of "encouraging economic separations" is suicidal nonsense.
Practical vs moral is applicable here, as you suggest, and it goes like this: It is impractical and immoral to allow unlimited immigration into America for the same reason Israel doesn't allow it -- because it would lead to societal breakdown, martial law, pain, suffering and death.
-
Definitely not a spontaneous movement. We're being attacked. They don't carry rifles because there are more than plenty of those here for them already. We're being majorly gaslighted by the likes of O'ist "leadership" about the organic nature of it. "The caravan is seasonal and an ancient tradition, relax!" This blatant gaslighting cannot be error this late in the action.
-
It is no more a collectivist perspective than Ayn Rand was collectivist is writing about a nation's self-interest.
So you mean in the imagination, in the future, in theory, in an ideal world. Not this world, not this country, which is not free.
Then who do you trust to stop terrorists or those carrying ebola, etc? Don't they also have to make judgments and determinations, even about those things? You trust them that individual X is unqualified for terrorist suspicions but not with finding brain-dead invalids unqualified, based on legislation that would spell this all out? The terrorist disqualifications will be based on government claims of secret intelligence we will never get to see. The brain-dead invalid disqualification will be based on doctors' examinations and legislation.
Your cavalier implication it'll be OK 'cuz the millions of young men can always simply die in our streets of starvation makes me wonder how much experience you have in the streets (and how intellectually serious you really are about this topic.) Young men can become quite agitated well prior to starvation, you know. And they wouldn't sit and die, they would predate. Oh, but we have police, right? Just like the summer '20 riots, we had police then, too. That was perpetrated by a few thousand people motivated by simple politics. Maybe a few tens of thousands. That was nothing compared to what ten or twenty million hungry and angry people can do. We effectively now have no police against such a scenario. They can't even come close to managing a breakdown of order. If any such occurs now that we have allowed so much alien presence military law is going to be the outcome. Moral this, moral that, martial law is going to be the outcome.

Letting anyone in, including those wholly predictable to be net negatives, is stupid, self-sacrificial, immoral.

It is religious zealotry. For a great many, mass immigration is not a political/economic/social issue but a spiritual/religious one.
Same for the trans issue. Normal people are taken aback by the lunacy they see. They can't make it make sense. Step one is understanding that for the zealots it is of religious importance.
-
Also gotta love how the traitorous idiot suggests that our protection from millions of said military aged males is "moral certainty in the rightness of America" with "military action against the states that sponsor terrorism."

Oh, your initial comment - about "Ayn Rand couldn't drive a car" - was in fact about ME not being able to drive a car! OK.😁
Not precisely correct.
My initial comment, in context ("You're in good company ... ") asserts that both Gus and his quoted author, one Mr Dicks, cannot drive a car. Secondarily it asserts that Ayn Rand couldn't drive a car, either.
Your having taken offense at my morally neutral comments leads me to suspect that you also cannot drive a car well, if at all. But I don't have solid confidence in that non-moral judgement of your aptitude for driving like I do for Gus and Mr Dicks, (given their own well-described struggles.) And let me pre-empt you here; no, I will follow-up with details. Discussing driving over the internet any further would be a waste of time.
Don't you owe this board a follow-up over here
You go on and on and on all the time about the duty to follow-up one's assertions with details and support and proof, whenever asked to. Do you stand by that, or not? If you stand by it, then get over there and answer, why did you think in the first place that his comment might warrant the board owner's attention.
Or is it OK if I just leave it at that I can tell from their hilarious descriptions of their struggles that neither Gus nor Mr Dick can drive for shit, without any duty to supply evidence or to prove it?
-
You can't drive a vehicle for shit, either, can you?
It's OK. It's not a moral issue.

Are you trying to challenge the facts in my post? Do you have learning disabilities?

You're in good company, Ayn Rand couldn't drive a car to save her life, either. She tried, gave it up, made Frank drive her everywhere.

This contest, the Iowa Republican Caucuses, had a previous record-holding winner, Bob Dole, who beat his second-place contender by 13 percentage points.
Trump beat his second-place contender by 30 percentage points, setting a new record.
Trump didn't break the old record of dominance in this contest by a fraction of one percent, like new records in swimming, no, he beat the old record by 130%.
Leave it to this Gus character to find a way of twisting these objective facts into "disappointment."
What a complete joke.

How many SARs were filed against the Trump Crime Family?
Is it possible to engage in extensive financial activity without generating SARs?
Trump says none.
Yes, apparently so.

I think it's great that even people who struggle to interpret neurotypicals and who consequently post a lot of off-track material and comical misfires are welcome to post here.
