The funniest part may your list of things that look like a copy/paste from social media... I mean taking the time to write all that ridiculousness? That would be way too sad to be true.


I bet your favorites include those "be ready" sites... lol

For some of us it really isn't difficult to put coherent thoughts together. You must be the other guy.

If a few burgers don't get flipped or a few lawns don't get mowed, too bad. Pay higher wages to attract the many unemployed Americans we have that used to do these jobs. This may require cutting social welfare benefits to incentivize the lazy to get a job.

Step 3: Shut down and freeze funds of all NGOs assisting in this invasion - that includes the "religious" ones. Arrest the leaders for treason.

Step 4: Round up the pro-invasion politicians and deep state political operatives of every type, regardless of party affiliation, and thrown them in Gitmo. This includes "path to citizenship" type Chamber of Commerce GOP scum as well as crazy shrieking Communist bluehairs. It will likely also have to expand to round up certain members of the media who will seek to oppose these operations via their vile propaganda. Oh well, have to break a few eggs.

Step 5: Now we get down to business deporting people back to their country of origin. I don't care how much it costs, or what's going to happen to them when they get back, or really any other excuse, we just threw $100B in a hole in Ukraine, the same amount into a hole in Afghanistan, and untold trillions bailing Wall Street out of a crisis of its own making. This is something that will actually benefit Americans for a change.

None of this would have been necessary if our elites weren't treasonous scum, but here we are. We can do it this way, or we can rapidly decline to savagery, but the time to make tough decisions is now.
Yeah ok.

"Coherent", you mean just like your letters addressed to the North Pole... living in a fantasy where you take even 2 seconds to write out a fantasy list that would never ever happen... it's the type of behavior that can only exist in an echo chamber that you have created for yourself.

Like I said, most likely a copy/paste from your "be ready" web sites.

I didn't say it was going to happen. This conversation started because you accused some of us of supporting mowing down illegal families at the border with machine guns, and that isn't at all what we had in mind. I said what I'd actually support doing, and now you've moved the goalposts to say it isn't realistic. That's probably correct, but it's nevertheless what needs to be done to pull us out of this mess.

I could have said we just need a nice peaceful national divorce, but I have no faith that the left would permit this to happen without civil war. The left believes itself to be righteous, and that the right is evil - not wrong, but EVIL - and they can't just let those EVIL people get away with it. The Bolsheviks didn't just leave the kulaks alone to live in peace on their farms.

I've never been to a "be ready" website. Not a fan of preppers or doomsday cultists. Real preparedness isn't stockpiling buckets of food and ammo, but making friends with your neighbors, identifying those around you who are like minded and banding together when things get rough. Think Korean shop owners in LA during the Rodney King riots, not some scared Fox-watching boomer whose house will get looted the moment things go south.

Yeah ok. Here is the conversation again:

Pretty clear what the implication is there.

It's hilarious you think that of the left but not the right. The right also believes itself to be righteous and that the left is evil as well. Every democrat is literally "destroying the country" according to the right and just about every member of this forum. Hell you even advocated for throwing leftists into gitmo a couple of posts ago. The media on both sides tries to scare people about what the other side is doing, using hyperbolic language at every opportunity to whip people into a frenzy and turn against each other.

And yet you are going on and on of some coming "civil war" that will never happen and went on a tirade that we need to declare martial law at the border and send in the military, publicly execute employers, and throw political opponents and members of the media into gitmo. Not sure if you actually believe any of that tripe or you're just trying to be edgy but not even Trump would probably go that far. The reason nobody is suggesting any of this is because it's not only poorly conceived and unnecessary, it's also b@t$hit insane.

Everything I suggested (none of which included shooting children at the border) are things that can, should be, and have been done in times of invasion or war, several times in American history. They are presently being done in other parts of the world that face similar issues. The issue isn't the response, it's that you don't think the present situation justifies that level of response. And I hope you're right. But you're not.

Unarmed illegal immigrants crossing the border is not an invasion or act of war and does not justify that kind of a response. Period. There are many ways we can secure the border and tackle illegal immigration without taking such draconian measures. I mean there is quite literally nobody on the right suggesting we need to go that far. It's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Makes zero sense. Just curious - would you consider the Trump administration's border policy a failure for not going far enough?

For centuries, men crossing borders with weapons was unnecessary to take over a country. They should have just walked over the border without weapons and seeked asylum to conquer it instead. Cablegeek is a genius, folks. I think he literally just solved the world’s problems with his superior logic and intellect.

Because they are not "conquerors" or "invaders" that is just hyperbolic hysteria for a bunch of edgelords on here who want to start a civil war over every little problem they have with society. It's an irrational and immature response that doesn't have much thought behind it.

We don't have the resources to let all of these people in, and lax border policy and "sanctuary states" give them plenty of incentive to come over. That needs to change by ramping up enforcement and deportations, securing the border, and going after companies that hire illegal labor. It does not warrant martial law or suspension of habeas corpus and the first amendment.
