    That live-shot of Biden telling reporters he's not taking a trip to the southern border "at the moment"? Yeah, FAKE NEWS GREENSCREEN! HE WASN'T ACTUALLY THERE!

    Jesus these next four years are gonna be a slog when it comes to bad, low effort conspiracies.

    biden has to do something about his perception on immigration. it seems like 1 issue we are losing on, biden on covid, economy 60%+ immigration 52%, he needs to do something to show he definitely isnt for open borders, especially since he stopped locking people up thats the perception.

    He's between a rock and a hard place, and a lot of the perception is driven by dishonest conservative media. If he "focuses" on the border, he'll get raked over the coals for not focusing on covid.

    His administration seems to be doing a pretty alright job of grappling with the newest problems/developments. Nobody is thrilled to see some of the detention centers open back up but it appears they're actually making an effort to make them as livable as possible while kids are processed and aren't just dumping them there for longterm holding. He's discouraging people from making the trip up or sending their kids. His administration is apparently working on a system with Central American countries to allow more of these people to apply for asylum without needing to make the long and dangerous trip.

    That and some media outlets hungry for those kind of hate/outrage clicks that brought them so much sweet traffic during the Trump era. They're desperate to find controversies/drama anywhere since it's not in as steady supply nowadays.

    Hopefully it's about a few things, like not devaluing non-voting shares of trusts to be given to offspring specifically to avoid the estate tax or requiring farm land write-offs to be by people who own and work the land instead of being investment tools to avoid the estate tax.

    It will take time to deal with the backlog created by the previous administration. We have a competent administration. I suspect, in a month or two it will have a process in place.

    I will admit, I was a little surprised. I actually was expecting Florida more.
    Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add
    "mmo-champion.com##li.postbitignored"
    to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.

    True enough, but the Florida guys I know would have shot themselves in the foot, said they weren’t no pussy and kept on limping like the waiter in the Kung Pow Enter the Fist comedy.

    I'll never pass up the opportunity to equate Trump supporters and the GOP to Wimp Lo.

    Besides the opening of detention centres... I see very little talk about turning away people immediately using some rule Trump used to not have to deal with asylum claims.

    Always a good scene but I was remembering the waiter, "This is master pain, now do as he says or he will cut off your big toe".

    Yep, now that they are lifting mask mandates and opening places fully, the nutbars are coming out of the woodwork.

    I think at some point he should realize that no matter what he does (within morally acceptable boundaries), he will not get credit from the right for it. If he 'moderates' his stance, or his actions on the border, at NO point will conservative media admit that he is actually doing so; they will shift their focus to all of the other things he ISN'T doing.

    They've always been out there. The news is finally paying attention to them in far greater detail then before.
