The man starts exposing how badly this administration has lied about the southern border and how they are allowing tens or thousands of illegals to flood through weekly and all this group can do is attack the messenger.

I own property down there. It is a disaster. Thank you Elon for publicly exposing it. No one may give a shit, as seen by the idiotic responses seen here, but thank you!

How many times have we heard Mlayorkas say the border is closed on national TV?

I don't see them trying to conceal the fact that Biden has opened the floodgates and is allowing anyone willy nilly to enter our country.

When asked they say: “The border is closed and the system is broken.” Both lies! The border is wide open and they just don’t like the current system.

But what has Elon got to do with the problem?

He is making X (Twitter) documentaries on how bad it actually is. Did you not watch the one in the OP!?

Is he donating a bit of his vast wealth toward the solving the problem?

He might would under a different administration. Right now he is funding documentation of how bad the current situation is.

If he's planning to vote for Trump, his poor judgment and morals automatically disqualify him from being convincing in my book.

He has not said he is. But I will add that anyone who doesn’t vote for the viable candidate against this administration HATES this country…that is how it goes down in MY book…FWIW.

Come on....you don't really believe that the people who are going to vote against trump hate our country. Actually, we're trying to protect it because you're too wrapped up in the cult to be able to do it yourself.

You're welcome.

Any viable candidate that can keep the orange buffoon out of office is the vote to save America.

It appears to me that anyone who votes for Trump has no respect for the principles this country was founded upon.

And you aid in the downfall of a once great nation by not being able to get over personal biases and see the big picture.

Do I like Trump? I like Don Jr. Have met and had conversation with him. Nice guy. I don’t know Trump Sr. from Adam. Probably would not like being around the man. I DO like his philosophies for the country…at least 80%.

The Democratic Party with there progressive wokism IS the downfall of the country. Anything to keep a (D) from the Executive Branch should be the mantra here.

I will vote against Trump in the Primary and for the Republican nominee in the General…as anyone with a lick of sense will.

Ukraine and our proxy war with Russia.

Tell us how the evil Trump will handle these three issues at the peril of “democracy “.

Hmm, let's see -- he actually went, without prep or "clean up" to an active border crossing site- as opposed to the "Border Czar". Has more ACTUAL international business experience than the "Border Czar". And has first hand experience in solving vastly complex problems, bringing experts to bear to resolve them.

"Outside his expertise "? Hmm, international business, complex problem solving, creative solutions, actually cares about legal immigration (he's been a citizen of three countries, having gone through the legal immigration process in two of those, built and ran several complex business, oh, and has a HUGE international following

oh, and NOT a career politician or diplomat

Why is it most self-professed "Christians" who ignore that most of what they call "wokeism", care for others, consciousness of your impact on others, fair treatment for all, are the same things their Jesus is said to have preached?

quote:

Woke — an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) (aka: ebonics for awakened or being alert) first meaning"alert to racial prejudice and discrimination ". It arrived mid-20th century. Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader definition encompassing liberal social issues such as critical race theory, sexism, the Black Lives Matter movement, defunding of law enforcement, and LGBTQ rights. It even went as far as labeling people who did not wear masks and did not want a Covid vaccine as public enemies. Wokism is anti-capitalism pro big government socialism.

Lane, while Trump does at times espouse an America first position, he also is very clear that he is identifying with himself at the same time. He repeatedly did things when he had the office that showed he was Trump first and america/conservatism second if not third (after his family interests).

While I cannot support Biden and what he is doing, I can at least see why there are folks who support him over Trump. I disagree with them that Biden is materially superior, but Biden at least listens to his advisors and can contain himself somewhat which in 4 years of Trump, DJT never managed. Even now, Trump refuses to admit that his loss in 20 was because of his own poor performance. Did the democrats take advantage of the situation? Absolutely. But it was Trump’s administration that was in control.


He had a majority in both houses and squandered it on things and railed about things like in his base rather than performing as a leader and getting things done.

Would Reagan allowed the party to attack itself with cries of RINO or would he have unified behind the things we agree on?

Trump has supported some of the lousiest GOP candidates and facilitated the implosion of the party.

Frankly, if he wins, in 2 years he will be neutered and the GOP will be shattered as a national party.

Listening to the leftists here, that’s one of their goals.

As long as folks like you say things like vote other in the primaries but then ride for the brand, it’s handing the country to the leftists.

The bulk of your post…while I don’t totally agree…I can respect your opinion. Here…I disagree. The Democratic Party in the Executive Branch is the bane of the of the USA. If America is to be preserved…the (D) must be kept out of the Whitehouse. Vote the man in the Primary. Check the (R) box in the General…it is the only hope. The Southern Border SHOULD make that evident to all.

I think the polls saying trump can win are echo chamber garbage that serves the political class more than is accurate.

Until the GOP ditches Trump, while I remain conservative, I’m not giving them a dime and not supporting them by efforts.

The religious right has been driving the party, and they have sold the rest of us down the river for getting some marginal short term gains on abortion. It’s fractured the party and put the right in a minority position, even if abortion remains a bad choice, near as I can tell, numbers are still way up there. Did we win squat?
