    You need to broaden your view. There are dozens of threads of investigation turning up legally questionable behaviors on the part of the Biden family. Most recently Biden's handling of classified information, for instance. And the fact the special prosecutor declined to recommend legal proceedings because of Joe's mental capacity limitation it's still "evidence".

    The Hur report included a lot of supposition in the form of barely hidden dirt being thrown at Joe Biden. No charges, no indictment, no criminal intent, just some snide innuendo about what Biden may have done. There are no national secrets in Joe's book. He did not gain monetarily from any of the documents that his people found, and that he reported himself.

    Perhaps you want Biden to be guilty in order to feel less sheepish about still supporting Trump in spite of his many crimes. I can understand that, but I prefer facts, and there are none against Biden on this issue. The investigation is over. Comer's committee may still meet, probably to whine about not having anything for which they can impeach, but if you're hoping for some 11th hour revelation, don't. That train ain't coming.

    IOW, money is "senseless, vulgar, and utterly tasteless, no doubt."
    IOW, you should have loaded up on all these DJT collectables sooner. ;-)

    I've seen enough of those "dozens of threads" to recognize them as fishing expeditions. Discussion of them belong in the Conspiracy Theory forum.

    There is nothing wrong with old Joe's mental capacity. He's the same geeky guy he's always been. I enjoyed the Darth Brandon performance at the SOTU. He seemed sharper than usual, in fact.

    Trump, on the other hand, has begun to spew more word salad than usual. It seems to happen when he looks tired. Aren't his supporters worried about him? I am, and I can't stand the guy. It's the same eerie feeling I had when Mitch McConnell stood for several minutes at a podium with a blank look on his face. I was afraid he was going to drop dead right there.

    Biden was not even my third choice in 2019 when the Democratic clown car was still full of characters, but I am defending facts here, not individuals, and pointing out that there is just no there there.

    If I might correct your falsified quotation, "The lure of profit can be senseless, vulgar, and utterly tasteless."

    Given that Hur is your guy as a democrat, it's unlikely that he just put "supposition in the form of barely hidden dirt" into it. Truth hurts. Which is why democrats, like you, are so hurt. I suggest Preparation H..... I heard it could sooth your pain... LMAO.

    Your question's premise is barking up the wrong tree.

    Let me put this into a better focus:

    How many incidents of terror have resulted from crossings of the southern border since 1900?

    Not too many, or rather, I can't remember any, in particular.

    You're asking the wrong question. The correct question is this:

    Do I FEAR a terrorist threat from the southern border?

    Answer: No.

    Because THAT is what you are peddling: FEAR

    And why would you (you guys on the right) do that?

    To get Donald Trump elected.

    BINGO.

    That point doesn't have to be in the bill, it's already border patrol policy. But, it requries more manpower and resources that Republicans will allow to be allocated, given their refusal to take the Senate Border bill.

    How many times have you walked across the border?

    I live in San Diego, I've been through the border many many times. As gringo as I look, they check me, and EVERYONE.

    But it is a long long long line and takes HOURS upon HOURS to get through, driving, OR walking.

    Why?

    There aren't enough folks hired to do it.

    THAT IS WHAT THE SENATE BILL DOES, HIRE MORE PEOPLE.
    Your simplisticism reflects your lack of knowledge about the subject.

    Are you referring to not ports of entry, those types of illegals? That requires more resources, and building
    a wall across a 2000 mile border isn't economically feasible, logistically and otherwise.

    For ports of entry, It's way more complicated than that, and you clearly know very little about the subject.

    When people cross the border at ports of entry, how do you know who is, and who isn't, 'illegal'?

    They are NOT waiving a flag.

    EVERYONE is checked.

    to deal with the backlog, that requires resources, resources that repubs won't allocate.

    to monitor the expansive border, that requires resources.

    To detain and process asylum seekers, that requires resources. More detainment facilities, more judges, more everything.

    BUT REPUBLICANS DO NOT WANT TO PROVIDE THE RESOURCES.

    REPUBLICANS ARE THE PROBLEM,. THEY ARE ALWAYS THE PROBLEM.

    We can't just close the border,. there are $3 billion worth of durable goods that traverse the border every day, there are people who live on one side for the border, and work on the other, and there are tourists.

    To stem the flow, to process the asylum seekers, to monitor the border, requires more resources than currently exist.

    Trump's policy was immoral and unethical, and any statistic derived therefrom is an immoral statistic, so you can't use him as a comparison,

    The border policy has to be humane and ethical.

    what is inhumane and unethical is the Republicans refusal to take the Senate Border Bill.

    Yeah, Mar A Lago is a magnet for spies. You think Russians & Chinese haven't sent spies there?

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/sep/07/mar-a-lago-trump-nuclear-documents-spies


    Copilot
    Mar-a-Lago, the opulent Palm Beach resort and residence associated with former President Donald Trump, has been a magnet for foreign spies. Here are some notable instances:

    1. Nuclear Secrets: It was reported that Trump stored highly classified documents, including nuclear secrets, at Mar-a-Lago for 18 months after leaving the White House1. Among these documents were those marked SAP (Special-Access Programmes) and HCS (Humint Control Systems), which contain sensitive information about US intelligence operations and human intelligence gathered from agents in enemy countries. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is conducting a damage assessment review to evaluate the sensitivity of these documents1.
    2. Russian Impersonator: Last month, a Russian-speaking immigrant from Ukraine managed to infiltrate Mar-a-Lago, posing as Anna de Rothschild, an heiress of the banking dynasty. This incident raised concerns about security vulnerabilities at the resort1.
    Given its history and the allure of its former occupant, Mar-a-Lago remains a prime target for foreign intelligence services. National security professionals are left wondering about the potential damage caused by these breaches1.

    You have managed to post a couple of thousand words without getting anything right.

    Crossing the border illegally has absolutely nothing to do with crossing the border at legal check points.

    By the way. I have crossed the border into Canada and Mexico numerous times. I have visited around thirty countries and have been on five continents. So yes, I have crossed a few borders. In most cases, they were very careful in admitting me even though I was either travelling on a military ID or passport.

    You're saying nothing but regurgitating old news, speculation, and uncredited speculation.

    Trump supporters willingly send him money. If they get some faux gold bible as their keepsake..... they will probably be quite happy.

    But Yes ..he is using them for his own personal advantage/ gain. HE benefits....Maybe his sneaker sales are not doing well enough . So he has to supplement ;-)

    One factor is clear: His conduct has desensitized folks to the point that nothing is shocking anymore.

    Of course, if sending Trump a few dollars and he ends up in the WH his tax cuts will more than pay. ::roflol:

    And if he does not get the WH.......nothing lost. ?? Or will it be a repeat of voter fraud, stolen elections and other assorted mixed bag of lies??

    Oh well. Do what you feel is right for you.

    Which, remarkably also describes the Dems approach to the election. But the Dems have more experience in voter fraud and coverup/misdirection and gullible supporters with a Pandemic of Trump Psychosis amongst dems.

    If both parties have integrety problems, and no one is happy with either as they are now..........what is the solution?? This kind of general discontent does not bode well for the nation as a whole. At some point the NATION must come first. ( not ideology, party concepts, etc) A nation this divided is vulnerable .....and can lose direction. As you know. Democracy is fragile to begin with.

    Hur is a Democrat? I seriously doubt that. His public disrespect of Biden in that report says otherwise. Like Comey on Hillary Clinton, when he could not find anything indictable, he went out of his way to dirty her. Hur has done the same.

    FYI, I'm not a Democrat.

    What makes you think I'm hurting? Where and how did I express that? Quote me, please, or else admit that you're flame-baiting me. None of your nonsense is painful to me. Perhaps you're projecting your own pain.

    Like all righties, when shown that your claims are not factual, you lash out at whoever has challenged you. Do you know who else does that? Your hero, Donald Trump.

    Don't be bitter. I research stuff before I post. My opinions are not based solely on what one source, or one guy, wants me to believe. If that's biased in your opinion, that's not my problem.
