Whell's World - sociopathic bullies.
Ann Coulter got a big slap down for her part in abusive rhetoric towards Gus, and very rightly so.

GoP - party of family values? They have no values, or morals!

Lack of empathy and compassion is the hallmark of the Trump party magamob.
Anyone seriously doubt that?

Once again the inner ugliness of their souls is shown.

Family values?
Don't want any part of or be around that family......

Not merely a lack. Substitute active malice and indulgence in cruelty.

There you go again, can't own it. Maybe be clear what you mean, rather than rambling on about unrelated crap and expecting someone else to figure out what you're talking about.

As far as the wall, construction began, delayed by lefty lawsuits and then killed by your boy Joey B.

Bullshit. Your "comprehensive border/immigration bill" would have written a penetrable border into law:

DHS could close the border if Border Patrol encountered 4,000 or more migrants on average over seven days. The border would have to be shut down if those encounters reached a seven-day average of 5,000 or if they exceeded 8,500 in a single day.

The border couldn’t be shut down under this authority for more than 270 days in the first year. And the bill would give the president the power to suspend a border closure “on an emergency basis for up to 45 days if it is in the national interest.”

During an emergency closure, Border Patrol would still need to process a minimum of 1,400 migrants who try to enter the U.S. legally through ports of entry. Only unaccompanied minors would be able to cross between ports of entry. And any migrant who tried to cross illegally two or more times during a border emergency would be barred from the U.S. for a year.


We have laws in place already that are sufficient to secure the border. Lets use those laws before passing more laws that undercut existing laws.

You had to ignore a whole lot of positives to focus on your negative. Why is Chickies' glass always half empty? From your posted article:

Fox News shared a clip of the viral moment on its TikTok page, writing "Gus Walz steals show during dad's acceptance speech." The comments were overwhelmingly positive.

Fucking pathetic. Trump biggest campaign promise was to build a big, beautiful wall along the entire border at Mexico's expense and we got ~50 miles of new wall along a border 1,954 miles long and Mexico didn't pay a dime. The fact that he encountered obstacles he couldn't surmount just shows that he's incompetent.

As for the immigration bill, Republicans and Democrats negotiated in good faith and settled on a consensus bill that would have improved things and Trump killed it and specifically stated that the reason therefor was to deny Biden any credit (i.e., it was not policy-based). I guess you're incapable of recognizing people negotiating in good faith and then keeping faith with the negotiated settlement. Figures.
