show us. Give us a look. Enlighten us. Shed the light, brother. Teach!

What’s the point of having asylum laws anyway? Surely Mexico is safe enough? And why should we accept massive amounts of economic migrants who have no skills and will be net negative taxpayers? Look at Egypt’s border with Palestine - a militarized massive wall

It might not be horrific. It will NOT be fine. Executive power is too considerable, and SCOTUS made him largely untouchable.

take to your member of congress. they need to write a bill and get it passed and signed by the president. But the law of the land is the law of the land, even though Rs don't like laws anymore. And asylum is the law of the land and is why so many illegals are here.

The answer to 'why do we have these laws' is that the rich democracies decided long ago that they have a responsibility to help those being persecuted abroad. This is probably a layover from the democracies not helping germans, soviets, Chinese vietnamese etc trying to escape totalitarian governments. We didn't let them in and they died in very large numbers.

unfortunately the asylum laws are being abused in very large numbers and need to be changed.

it's sweet how you think the Republican Party, which controls both houses of congress, will push back against executive power 2025-6. Especially when trump has said he will wield the DOJ as a weapon against those who try to constrain his power.
A Republican congressman, to push back against trump, would have to ignore
1/ death threats from ma'ga
2/promise of being primaried from the right
3/threat of being investigated by the DOJ
4/threat of being taken off committees and left to rot
5/ cutoff of campaign funds
For the next two years there will be no pushback from congress. It is a dead institution at this point, existing only to rubber stamp trump's wishes.

Above serves as a good reminder of how little we've come to expect from politicians. Aside from the first item, in light of the current net worth and future lifetime earning potential of the average Congressman or Senator, that list should be meaningless for any politician who's ACTUALLY a dedicated public servant (i.e., Go back to the district and be a rich man/woman; Sounds horrific, doesn't it? Not sure how Liz and Adam are possibly surviving).

Of course, the list ISN'T meaningless, which tells you how many actual public servants we have in DC.

Pardons
Here are the associates/criminals Trump pardoned:
Michael Milken - securities fraud, tax fraud, filing false documents (a real Trump kinda guy)
Michael Flynn - lying to investigators on behalf of Trump
George Papodopoulos - Trump policy advisor who lied to investigators
Charles Kushner - Ivanka’s father-in-law, tax evasion, witness tampering, hired a prostitute to set up his brother-in-law
Roger Stone - lying to Congress on behalf of Trump
Paul Manafort - Trump’s campaign chairman who did time for tax fraud and bank fraud in handling Trump’s campaign
Steve Bannon - Trump advisor convicted of wire fraud and money laundering.

just looking at your first listing - michael Milken. He served his time in prison. He
founded the Prostate Cancer Foundation for prostate cancer research, which by 2010 was "the largest philanthropic source of funds for research into prostate cancer"

His based think tank called FasterCures, which seeks greater efficiency in researching all serious diseases. Initiatives of FasterCures include TRAIN, Partnering for Cures, and the Philanthropy Advisory Service.

On March 11, 2014, President Steven Knapp of George Washington University in Washington, D.C. announced the university was renaming its public health school after Milken as a result of a total of $80 million in gifts, $50 million from the Milken Institute and the Milken Family Foundation and $30 million gift from Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone.

Was first recipient of the Ig Nobel Economics prize.

Prostate survivor.

He was making about $500 million paycheck (if memory serves) every 2 weeks at Drexel Burham in the '80s. Pretty nice paycheck.

You don't think he deserved his pardon?

re: agip

We have read plenty of insanity from Trumpers over the years. But there appears to be some common belief among the right that everyone should be rallying around Trump today in unity and letting bygones be bygones.

Do they even know who Trump is? What is is saying he will do? What he has done in the past?

What planet do people live on where they want us to pretend Trumpism 2.0 is just a normal presidency?

Again, if memory serves, I think he invented the junk bond - which may or may not be a good thing.

Trumpism 1.0 was a pretty normal presidency. We had 1.4% inflation back then. Over 9% under Biden. Fond memories.

milken got a bargain.

Lori Milken, the wife of a disgraced investor Trump pardoned for securities fraud, donated more than $12,000 after her husband was pardoned. Lori Milken's donation purchased a ticket to attend a fundraising event hosted by First Lady Melania Trump scheduled for weeks after the pardon,

Hey Sally, here's a crazy thought: On this day of national transition, how about you transition, too? Just write what you think. Instead of pretending to be an arch-Trumper most of the time. Has that REALLY not gotten old, yet? And have you not noticed that there are more than enough actual arch-Trumpers on this thread to render your efforts completely unnecessary?

ORRRRR, am I giving you too much credit ???

And then the WH? Even the addled US electorate knew trump was a complete failure.

ZEBULON, Georgia — Donald Trump boasted on Wednesday of almost daily conversations with Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that he has a very good relationship with the Israeli prime minister.
Trump has previously cast himself as Israel’s “protector” and said Netanyahu’s government must “finish the problem” in its war against Hamas.

Two impeachments (and 2 acquittals), an insurrection (i.e., a protest), giant debt added (the president merely offers budget proposals), 1.4% inflation, massive corruption in the WH (he didn't have his son leaving bags of coke in the WH) yeah bring back Trump 1.0.
