The Biden Administration and All Things Politics



 
Republicans are really excited about Kamala Harris as president.
First they do everything they can to get Biden to quit the race for the 2024 election to help Kamala get the opportunity instead.

Now (again) they want to impeach Biden which would literally expedite the process of Kamala Harris being president. Not to mention trump literally wrote a check to Kamala Harris.

During Donald Trump's press conference at his Golf Club in Bedminster, Trump rattled off misinformation about Kamala Harris wanting to "end detention of illegal alien migrants, releasing vicious monsters into our communities to rape, maim and murder." And this has been a popular loop-de-doop of his for years, regardless of who his opponent is. But it's usually not based on facts by any stretch of the word.

In a Friday afternoon feature by The Washington Post breaking down the decline in illegal border crossings, they highlight data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection showing in July a 32 percent decline from June and the fifth straight month that the figure has fallen," with officials attributing the change "to executive actions Biden announced this spring that effectively shut off access to the U.S. asylum system for migrants who enter illegally."

“The Biden-Harris Administration has taken effective action, and Republicans continue to do nothing,” White House spokesperson Angelo Fernández Hernández said in a statement on the numbers, adding that Republican lawmakers “are more interested in cynically playing politics than securing the border.”

From the time Biden took office through Jan 2024 there were 7,254,386 encounters at the southwest border. That is encounters. There were 3.2 million expulsions during that period. During Trump's 4 years, The U.S. averaged 290,394 deportations per year. During every single year of the Biden administration, more deportations occurred than Trumps per year average.

It is the Republicans that shot down the most comprehensive border bill in decades because Trump said he wanted to run on the issue.

According to the WSJ editorial board: "By any honest reckoning, this is the most restrictive migrant legislation in decades. Previous immigration talks have involved trading security measures for legalizing more immigration. There is little of the latter in this bill—nothing for nearly all of the Dreamers who were brought here illegally as children, no general pathway to citizenship or green cards for most illegal immigrants already in theU.S. This is almost entirely a border security bill, and its provisions include long-time GOP priorities that the party’s restrictionists could never have passed only a few months ago. Republicans demanded border measures last year as the price for passing military aid for Ukraine, Israel and Pacific allies."

The Democrats wanted aid forUkraine so they gave many concessions and then the Republicans said no because of Trump being for himself.

Trump rattled off misinformation about Kamala Harris...
The term 'misinformation' most commonly means 'technically true but bad for the narrative'. The term sounds like 'disinformation', which are untrue statements intended to deceive, but because whatever it is may be completely true they can't call it disinformation. It is like Cheap Fakes versus Deep Fakes. One actually happened but it is devastating so they give it a name that sounds like a thing that was fabricated.

So your story is that Trump was saying true things that were damaging to Kamala's narrative... carry on.

This is the reality. The Biden Admin's border policy was a continuation and escalation of the Trump admin's border policy. And the dems were more than willing to make it even more draconian. It's funny because on one hand, I hate that the dems, who heavily criticized the harsh border policy of the trump admin, have now taken on the same policy and are forced to defend it. But on the other hand, it sure is ironic when the hogs go after the Biden Admin for the ongoing invasion.

It's all just BS from both sides recently TBH. Nobody has any consistent principles when it comes to the border.

Swing and a miss. You like to think you can just change definitions of things by saying things like "most commonly means" (which is simply your opinion)

What misinformation actually means is:
false or inaccurate information, especially that which is deliberately intended to deceive. Like when Trump says at a rally that there are 10 million illegal immigrants coming from prisons and mental institutions raping and robbing all across America. Then at his next rally it's 15 million. At the next rally it's 20 million. This is trump spewing false or inaccurate information, especially that which is deliberately intended to deceive. Misinformation.

It's pretty amazing just how poorly he thinks of the United States of America.

For him it is the United Playground of Trump. States and legislatures and courts are all just hinderances, obstacles to be overcome, in his quest for ultimate power. That is all he cares about. I would be shocked if he could in any meaningful way explain the interaction between the 3 branches of government, let alone the difference between the house and the senate. Frankly I would be shocked if he could name the 3 branches of government at all. That is all meaningless in Trumpworld. In Trumpworld everything exists to serve the Donald.
