Comparatively, yes. Illegal entry, like other crime rates is comparative. If there is a huge crime rate after police are done away with, it is not a legitimate argument to sayâŚyes, but there were crimes committed before.
So, can I put you down for being OK for corporations, and wealthy people can spend as much as they want to influence elections and the legislative process?
I thought you did not like corruption.
I know we can never eliminate 100% of corruption, but giving them a free pass is destroying our democratic republic. I prefer the Oligarchs did not have so much power.
IMOâŚthese large sums of cash being donated should be outlawed and SCOTUS was wrong. That said, thatâs the tip of our corrupt iceberg. Congress outlawed insider trading when it was exposed on 60 Minutes back in 1998 but a short time later, they again approved it for themselves. Biden has been in office for 50 years and looky, lookyâŚhas several million dollar mansions. YepâŚmakes perfect sense.
Trump worked very hard to shut down the border while the corrupt politicians in office fought him the entire time. Do you remember that or are you developing amnesia? How hard did he work just to get the funding? Then when he finally got it approved and began construction of that big, beautiful wallâŚBiden stopped it and told illegals to âsurge the borderâ. NowâŚdo you remember that or do you have amnesia?
I blame the horrendous SCOTUS Decision that enable corporations and oligarchs to bribe pols, that affects both the electoral and legislative processes. It is a cancer on our democratic republic.
It doesâŚmany Democrats and liberal leaning independents would prefer CU be overturned .
