That one involved damaging parts of cats brains then getting them on treadmills to see how they responded.

The Biden administration ordered the funding to it to be cut 18 month ago.

How's getting Mexico to pay for the wall going? How much have they paid so far?

They build 400 miles of wall!!!!!!

Except only 80 miles is new border protection (47 miles primary, 33 miles of secondary), the rest is merely replacing what was already there.
$15bn wasted on it.
The border is 1,933 miles long, 700 miles has border fencing/wall

Lot more money to be wasted by the Donald on that then.
 
But the problem, Finbar, is that there is no border crisis and there is no economic crisis. Trump was simply lying about it and he still is. Because he lied about it constantly, people came to believe that these crises existed, and then blamed the Democrats for not addressing these imaginary crises. A direct parallel would be when Hitler came to power with people saying that the Social Democrats lost because they didn't properly address the Jewish problem (that Hitler made up).
Jeez Doc
I am kinda afraid now because you called me by my real first name instead of Finny.
Doc cmon man there is a huge problem with the influx of people across the southern border.
If there was not an issue with it then why did Kamala run advertising her plan to fix it.
Drugs are sad and it’s pouring through and that’s a persons choice to indulge in it.
Human trafficking Doc is a business now second only to the drug trade.
It’s happening all over the world and as men we should be disgusted by this over anything.
A border cannot function without people being verified and it’s happening everywhere including Ireland.
We disagree on politics Doc but good god this is something that needs to be stopped immediately and right now.
I don’t care who fixes it but it is disgraceful disgusting and unacceptable.
BTW I detest Gaetz and his proper frat boy behaviour. He will not pass approval imo
RFk jr will but Gaetz is a horrible person and I think the Rebuplicans know he won’t get confirmed and he will be done and gone.

Before the election, a bipartisan fix for the immigration laws was constructed and would have passed, but was killed personally by Trump because he wanted to continue to spout his lies about illegal aliens in order to promote his campaign.

The vast amount of drugs coming into the US come through major ports and airports, not in someone’s backpack.

Trump wants to deport millions of illegals who are working and paying taxes in the US. This has nothing whatsoever to do with your concerns but is at the heart of his immigration policy. The IS doed have an immigration problem. We won’t enact laws that will keep up with our need for labor. We want the labor, but we don’t want to give these people any actual rights. And it’s based on pure racism.

Regarding the many idiots that Trump is trying to put in his cabinet, too late to cry about it now. You bought the whole package.

Finny

The majority of US voters did not see Trump as unfit for High Office and that's democracy at work.

But IMO - the fact that Trump choose Gaetz and wants to use the Recess Process to push it through - should be a huge red flag for moderate Trump supporters (The MAGA Hard Right will love Recess - Steve Bannon is telling Trump Critics to 'Lawyer up')

I know it's very early to change your mind - but do you now have any reservations about what Trump intends to do ?

Are you happy with Gabbard and Hegseth ? They seem crazy decisions to me
 
The GOP senators have a dilemma in approving Trump's appointments.

How can they object to anybody when the POTUS elect is a convicted felon and rapist that attempted to steal the 2020 election.
Matty Gaetz has only been doing a bit of sex trafficking & screwed a minor. High jinks - FFS !

It's a farce.

Trump has a clear mandate to take a wrecking ball to the various state institutions, take on the enemies within, etc.

He said what he intended to do, the people said yes.

He should be allowed get on with it
