Even the latest increased funding that was passed for border agencies was opposed by AOC and her squad. Can BrainiacX tell us what imaginary border wall was this one tied to huh
And I am still waiting for you answer on this BrainiacX wink

it is a manufactured crisis, I don't expect to convince you but I expect you to employ the logic of someone older than an adolescent kid, crossing the borders at non designated entry points is illegal, crossing same border at designated entry points is legal, being a refugee whether political or economical isn't a crime under US law, neither is seeking asylum against the law, so when trump shuts down many of the legal entry points what do you think will happen at the rest entry points if not a crisis that was manufactured? Well, given who you are, I don't expect this simple logic to sink into your brain
oga which legal entry points did Trump shut down? Please look for another argument this one is a big lie. Those central Americans pouring in at the southern border, none of their countries were included in the travel ban so don't even go there

Lol, back to this old argument right? You've tried it here before and failed and you're trying to bring it up back again huh Temple1288 lives in the US and he lives in one of the supposed most racist states Mississippi. He says the cries of racism are over exaggerated. Isn't it ironic that the ones that are crying racism everyday are the ones living in liberal and black dominated cities? Lucasbalo in Chicago and kophschmerzen in Maryland? If you ask me who I will believe about the claims of US racism, I would rather believe Temple1288 who is actually living in the supposed racist States than the liberal whiners who live in black and liberal dominated areaa
using a guy who emigrated recently to the US and has as much historical references as you as your reference simply shows me you are grasping at straws, he is your stereotypical look at my black friend, I'm not racist mascot, Mr just shut up on what constitutes racism and what doesn't because you are woefully ignorant

if you insist!

Like I mentioned earlier, AOC amongst others isn't just a democrat, she is a justice democrat and she identifies as that, she amongst others have always called out pelosi and establishment democrats for capitulating to trump and Republicans, so to answer your question, she voted against the border funding bill because it came without any actual commitments from the executive on improving the residency conditions on the immigrants being detained

Another fake excuse, kiss the truth my friend. AOC and her unpatriotic squad are just a bunch of hypocrites. They are only interested in playing politics with the border situation. For someone who was weeping at the border a few days earlier to turn around and refuse to vote for increased funding for holding facilities using this flimsy excuse is the height of hypocrisy. The law gives congress the power of oversight, she doesn't need any guarantees from the executive, if she really cared about improving the situation at those facilities , they could have voted for the funding then use their oversight powers to ensure that the funds are used for exactly what they were approved for but she's just a hypocrite and can't match her words with her actions

here's an example of a city that implemented a variegated version of the $15 minimum wage's experience

It was a mixed blessing but generally, total take home wages didn't fall, for many it increased and many more jobs were added, so what was your argument again.? undecided

Ohh mixed blessing indeed

The study, conducted by economists at the University of Washington using state unemployment insurance data, found that the increase added about $10 per week on average to the earnings of low-income workers through 2016, even while reducing weekly hours slightly. But more experienced workers made $19 more per week, the research found, partly by making up for lost hours in Seattle at second jobs worked outside city limits.

In addition, employee turnover decreased, which the authors believe suggests that employers tried harder to retain their most productive staff members as wages went up. That’s a plus for existing workers, but potentially an obstacle for inexperienced or new workers trying to get that first line on their resume.

Indeed, the study showed that fewer new workers entered Seattle’s low-wage labor market compared to the rest of Washington. “Seattle’s minimum wage ordinance appears to have delivered higher pay to experienced workers at the cost of reduced opportunity for the inexperienced,” the study’s authors wrote.

My question is why was Bernie not paying 15dolls that he has been hammaring Other people for not paying? the answer is because he could not afford it.
If Bernie that runs an establishment that is not making profit finds it difficult to pay minimum wage how do you expect companies to pay

These people don't get it. Minimum wage is for unskilled low level workers. And they are needed especially for SMEs and startups

I would not be surprised if trump pays his staffs better than Bernie.

RNC more than doubles DNC's fundraising haul in June

The Democratic National Committee raised $8.5 million in June, the month of the party's presidential debates in Miami — less than half of the $20.7 million the Republican National Committee pulled in during that time period, disclosures show.

The DNC also spent almost as much money as it raised — $7.5 million — during that time and finished the month with $9.3 million cash on hand. Meanwhile, the RNC is building a large war chest during the lead-up to 2020 and had $43.5 million cash on hand at the end of the month.

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/07/20/dnc-fundraising-june-1424116

The Democrats and their dumb supporters can continue fooling themselves with their fake polls.

God Bless President Donald Trump!!!

...the message is loud and clear coming from a church..."america, love or leave it"....

https://www.foxnews.com/faith-values/trump-church-sign-virginia-pastor

Pastor doubles down on 'America: Love or leave it' sign as members walk out

Last week, Pastor E. W. Lucas, who put up the sign after Trump's tweet, told the local station people upset with Trump's comments "ought to go over there and live in these other countries for a little while."

Opponents called the sign "racist."

Lucas has doubled down on his message and said he wanted to keep the sign up longer because of the support he has received.

But he apparently did not receive full support from his congregation. WSET reported that on Sunday the 11 a.m. service was empty and some members were leading others out during service. The church's Facebook page was down on Monday.

“Preachers, by and large, today, are afraid they’re gonna hurt somebody’s feelings," Lucas told WSET, "and when I get in the pulpit, I’m afraid I won’t hurt somebody’s feelings.”

Those are small countries, historically ethostates, with higher taxes and more social programs for all. Sweden is the largest at 10 plus million people. A state like North Carolina or Ohio has a larger population. USA's illegal population is double that of Sweden's entire population. Maybe medical care is partially socialized in some of those countries (a couple of airlines) but they are capitalistic.

Dude, I'm giving a big thumbs up to your idiocy. If wishes were horses the Liberals would destroy everything and every system that they think (in their confused mind) doesn't favour them
When Liberals lose, they seek to change the rules
