Because it hard arbitrary provisions that would have essentially allowed Joe Biden to pause the border restrictions at his discretion. The assumption was that he would sign the “we fixed the border” bill, then pause restrictions, and act like he did something, and the Republicans weren’t willing to give him that optic W.
That makes sense, I never liked McCain
It’s fine that oil and gas production are higher now, I’m sure Trump will take that number even higher.
What I’d like to see when it comes to illegal immigration isn’t exactly more arrests, but a stronger border that’s harder to get through in the first place. And perhaps some deportations as well, although I tepidly prefer some qualified form of amnesty to deporting every single illegal immigrant.
For national security, a lot of it is securing the southern border. It does have some ties to foreign affairs, part of that is Trump’s (relative) strength as a negotiator with world powers. He doesn’t get everything he wants all the time, but he is feared to a degree by many leaders, which is important when some of those leaders are our enemies, and he understands how to use leverage in circumstances such as negotiating the release of American hostages from foreign soil. I will say that Trump isn’t as good at negotiating as I would like, but at least he has a positive track record on that front, whereas Kamala Harris can’t even negotiate the support of the Teamsters lol
RCS support!
Even the political stuff I get, Lemmy was founded by people pretty far to the left.
But in general I don’t really care much. I share what I like, say what’s on my mind, and move on.
I have great respect for libertarianism, but it’s a little too extreme for me. There need to be federal institutions at some scale (even if they should be minimized, like Trump I too am a Federalist)
I feast on the downvotes from this community lol, they ain’t new to me
Mostly the economy (specifically tax cuts and support for domestic oil and gas production), border security, national security and foreign affairs.
I’d just assumed downvoting everything that’s not a progressive op ed or a meme was part of Lemmy culture. All my LSF posts get downvoted too.
Eh. I’m voting for Trump but certain people around him (like Laura Loomer) might literally have me voting for Kamala if they were to replace him.
lol
cats do be like that
It’s not that anything happened, he was always cringe and they are just roasting him for his cringyness.
Or LineageOS, apparently…
Hahaha probably
The guy was always something as a meme, people didn’t take him seriously and after awhile he stopped taking himself seriously too (thankfully).
Probably one of the most popular rap songs of the “mumble rap” era. It also inspired that “Tucci Gang” sketch on SNL, if you’ve ever seen that one:
He’s the dude who made Gucci Gang
LOL
Yeah the professor of Pump University isn’t exactly Trump’s strongest soldier
The bathroom or the garage…which way, western man?
