My dad said he's voting Trump because Biden is letting the Chinese and Russians across the Mexican border. I wish I was joking.

Makes sense, right-wing media have been lying and calling him weak on the border since before he came into office. It's the same as when they call him a communist, which is so obviously false it's almost a joke. They can say whatever they want because nobody listening to them is going to do any fact-checking.

This is why if Joe Brandon and KKKamala HariSS were serious about "saving democracy" they'd drone strike everyone related to Fox, OAN, Joe Rogan, Tim Pool, etc immediately.

Link? I believe it I just want a source to cite

I'm inclined to believe anything Cato says is a lie, but I also don't have the capacity to verify their sources.

So I wouldn’t even wipe my own ass with the Congressional report, the first source linked in the article, but it goes on to cite official data from DHS, published in 2022—and while I don’t blame you for being skeptical of these pieces of fuck, I look at the context and ask myself “Why would they lie?”

Yeah, that's fair.

I would think that the Cato institute would have an incentive to say the opposite of this which makes me inclined to believe them here

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, that's probably true and I'm assuming it's true but I'm still very skeptical.

Hey, this is a statistic. If you arrest a billion more people and then release them, congradulations! You've released more people!

This says nothing.
