The Nazi party from "Europe" where Martin claims to live? The place that originated fascism and the inquisition among endless other atrocities. No book is banned in the US. Every book written in history is available. Every single one. This is some kind of fake talking point to deflect from the real disasters unfolding under Ukraine Joe. Some parents don't want their children to read pornography in school. Big deal. If other parents want their kids to read some sexually explicit material at a young age, they are free to buy any book they desire. To compare that situation to the Nazis is not only idiotic but insulting to the many real victims of the Nazis. You should be embarrassed and ashamed to peddle such nonsense.

Utter BS... The Republicans are showing us all who they really are and what they are about. I didn't compare anything to the Nazis, simply because they are not there yet, but they most certainly are on a slippery slope.

Shameful. Your groveling doesn't change what you actually said. Clearly and directly comparing Republicans to actual Nazis:
The Nazi party banned and burned books....
Now the GOP is calling for books being banned.... A downward slope?

It's shameful that such hate speech is allowed on this forum.
So, now you want to ban free speech as well?
Nobody is comparing Americans to Nazis. Most Americans do not fit the comparison, but in every basket there are rotten apples. They need to be called out before history repeats itself.
The title of this thread and every comment you have made is to equate Republicans to Nazis. You have done it yet again here. Shameful.

And you falsely tried to make about all Americans being Nazis..
What is shameful is banning of books, storming the Capitol building, trying to kidnap Governer Whitmer, inciting violence to a New York D.A., disturbing a children's event as the proud boys recently tried to do, mess with people's lives by banning abortions and basically declaring war on the LGBTQ. The list goes on and on and there isn't one Republican who speaks out against it! And the worst part of it is they have the nerve to call themselves patriots in "the land of the free"....
Who the shoe fits....

Someone really hates America. It is hard to decipher what you are even raving about with these false claims. No one has banned any book. Every book written in human history is freely available to any US citizen who wants to purchase it. To compare that situation to the Nazis is not only hate speech but actually factually incorrect. Some parents are rightfully concerned that their children are being exposed to sexually explicit material by crazy leftists. That is a perfectly reasonable concern. They are not domestic terrorists per Old Joe and his Stasi-like justice department but responsible people. Even if you believe young children should be exposed to such material, to compare that situation to the Nazis burning of books is pathetic. An insult to Americans and the victims of the holocaust. You should be ashamed.

He gets upset when it is pointed out that the Republicans are on a slippery slope to Nazism, but has no problem to call the US Department Stasi-like. What a hypocrite!
And what do those so-called "responsible people" really do? They ban a book about Rosa Parks.... as if that's sexually explicit.

Maybe define what you mean by "banning" a book. You appear to have some bizarre subjective interpretation to fit your desired narrative. For example, do you think every school library must make available every book written? And if they fail to do so a book is somehow considered "banned"? You do realize that Americans can literally buy any book ever written via Amazon and other online sources. Not a single book in the US is banned. Schools with the input of parents can make decisions on their own curriculum including the books that are available from the school library. Ironically, what you are suggesting is uncontested governmental control without the input of citizens. Old Joe and his clown show will decide for parents what their children read. That sounds more like the totalitarian Nazi form of government than what you are raving about.

If a book was previously used at a particular school and now isn't anymore because some extreme right wing nuts don't like it and don't want their children to learn about Rosa Parks, then yes, that's considered banning a book.
Schools with the input of parents can make decisions on their own curriculum including the books that are available from the school library.
Children shouldn't have to go to school and be tought only that what their right wing parents want them to be tought. And why should a handful of parents determine the curriculum for all the children?

Name one instance where the Biden adminstration has banned a book from any school! You can't, because they haven't done it. It's just the fake excuse the right wing nuts use to justify their own censorship.
That sounds more like the totalitarian Nazi form of government than what you are raving about.
There is only one party in the US who wants politicians to decide about abortions, who supports book banning parents, who will not let LGBTQ people have the freedom to live their life as they want to, who interfere with criminal investigations, who lie about "stolen elections" and who incite and defend violence.... and that's not the Democratic party.

And there you have it. The totalitarian mantra. Parents should keep quiet and just let the schools (that are paid for by the parents) decide what their children learn even if inappropriate. Their children should be indoctrinated by the powers in control because any dissenter from the party line is a dangerous "nut." Lenin and Hitler would agree with that proposition. That's how dictatorships maintain power. American schools have been taken over by individuals who do not represent the views of most of their constituents. When this happens in a democracy, the affected individuals have every right to express their concerns and seek change. It is the direct opposite of what happened in Nazi Germany. In fact, it is the fundamental basis of a democracy. And every book remains available to any person who wishes to read it. There are no books banned by the government or anyone else. That is myth to fit a desired narrative.

Utter BS
Parents should keep quiet
Nobody said that
and just let the schools (that are paid for by the parents) decide what their children learn even if inappropriate.
Schools are supposed to be the educators. If the parents don't like the curriculum they can take their kids elsewhere. That's their right. What isn't their right is to impose their extreme right wings ideas onto all the children.
Their children should be indoctrinated by the powers in control because any dissenter from the party line is a dangerous "nut."
Complete paranoia. Parents can take their children to any school they like. There is no obligation for them to place the kids in a particular school. And yes, parents who try to impose their opinions on others are indeed dangerous. Even more so when they start banning books that teach about American history!
Lenin and Hitler would agree with that proposition. That's how dictatorships maintain power.
Exactly. That's why the Republicans are in favor of books being banned from the curriculum! They want to impose their world view on everybody. You've just made my point for me. There isn't a single Democrate who advocates the banning of books.
American schools have been taken over by individuals who do not represent the views of most of their constituents.
Yeah right... a classic bogus Republican talking point. Republicans think they get to decide which schools comply with their agenda and those who don't get tagged with this crap.
When this happens in a democracy, the affected individuals have every right to express their concerns and seek change.
What "affected individuals"? All they have to do is sent their kids to another school. Problem solved, right? But no, instead they threaten schoolboards and teachers to get their way. And that has nothing to do with democracy.
It is the direct opposite of what happened in Nazi Germany.
Actually, no it isn't. Hilter's ilk imposed their will on the majority of the German people.
And every book remains available to any person who wishes to read it.
Except not in school libraries where Republicans had it removed from the curriculum. Go figure....

The Nazi party banned and burned books....
Now the GOP is calling for books being banned.... A downward slope?
So much for small Government and freedom of speech, right?
GOP fascists have already banned books from schools and libraries. So much for the "freedoms" right wingers scream about.
GOP fascists are have taken away a woman's right to choose, and in Idaho, right wingers have passed legislation prohibiting women from leaving the state to seek an abortion. Republicans are keeping its citizens from interstate travel. So much for "freedom".
GOP fascists are discriminating against the LGBTQ community and passing discriminatory laws against them.
GOP fascists in Tennessee have expelled 2 black Democratic Tennessee State Representatives for exercising their First Amendment rights but did not expel the white Democrat woman.
GOP fascists are telling teachers what they can or can't do in the classroom wanting parents to interfere in the education system.
GOP fascists are passing laws to force children in public schools to recite the Ten Commandments.
GOP fascists believe in big government as they are controlling our lives by how they want us to live. They want to control what we read, what we can say, how we can do our jobs, and what we can do with our bodies.
But for violent criminals and mentally unstable people, the fascist GOP will allow them to buy as many assault weapons they like to commit mass shootings. That's the freedom they are giving mass shooters as American citizens have to live in fear of gun violence each day of their lives.

The only book that I'm aware of that has been "banned" is the manifesto of the radical leftist terrorist in the recent Nashville shooting that the FBI is suppressing.

Not sure what you are rambling about here. You appeared to be concerned with "banned" books in the US. A demonstrably false talking point. You also have espoused theories that involve the FBI fabricating evidence in the assassination of JFK. But suddenly you are not interested in the FBI suppressing information in a recent terrorist attack. Nothing to see there. It is meaningless and apparently has something to do with Trump? LOL. You are just a neutral arbiter of the facts with no agenda. Right?

Just how pathetic can your "reasoning" get?
Banning books in the US (or anywhere else for that matter) is indeed a problem, but the manifest of some idiot killer isn't a book and it isn't banned. It's evidence and the FBI will have it's reasons for not releasing that information at this time, no matter how desperately you want to get your hands on it.
It is meaningless and apparently has something to do with Trump?
It only has to do with Trump in as much as that you must be unaware of many things to support that con man.
You are just a neutral arbiter of the facts with no agenda. Right?
Did I say that?

A demonstrably false talking point. Not every book ever written can be kept in a school or library. And some books are not age appropriate for school children. No reasonable person would take issue with that conclusion. EVERY book ever written in human history is available to the parents of any child who wishes to buy it. Every single book. No book is banned in the US. The only writing that I know of that is currently banned from the public is the manifesto of the radical leftist terrorist who attacked a religious school. It is has been illegally suppressed by the FBI from the public. No one has access to it. That is what is meant by a "banned" book.

Calling a manifesto of a terrorist (which is evidence, btw) a book is like calling you intelligent.

Wrong again. It isn't a book and hasn't been published, which is why no one has access to it. That, and the fact of course, that the FBI is not in the habit of releasing a piece of evidence to idiots who claim it's a banned book!

Right wing fascists havs already banned interstate travel, books, and now they are going after our libraries.
Right wingers claim to be "champions of the First Amendment" and against censorship, but they are taking away our First Amendment rights and implementing censorship laws.
Right wingers want to force people to live under their phony "Christian" beliefs.
We are a nation that has a separation of church and state, but radical right wingers dismiss what our founding fathers established our nation under and are now forcing their radical religious beliefs on Americans under their minority rule.
Right wing religious fanatics are forcing women, including young girls, to give birth to their rapists babies. In Idaho, radical right wingers passed a law prohibiting women from leaving to go to another state to seek an abortion. This is total Nazi fascism by banning women from traveling, holding women hostage in Idaho, and preventing them from freely crossing stateline.
Radical right wingers don't like the fact that the history of slavery and the civil rights movement is being discussed in our schools which has always been part of the school curriculum. Right wingers call it "Critical Race Theory" and are banning the subjects and books on civil rights from schools because of their obvious racism trying to erase a significant period in American history.
Radical right wingers want to throw teachers in jail that teach on those subjects.
Radical right wingers are discriminating and attacking the LGBTQ community daily trying to erase them from society.
This is what happens in a fascist society and Republicans are pushing their fascism on the overwhelming majority of Americans that do not support it.
This is not the America that we know. It's Republican fascism.

LOL. This is comedy gold. Even from you. It has to be published but it can't be published because the FBI has suppressed it !!!!! HA HA HA So it is not banned. But because a school decides that a book is not age appropriate it is banned EVEN though it can be freely bought by anyone. Of course the point isn't whether a book has a nice cover, but whether the content is available to the public. If the government suppresses the content, it is banned.
-

Completely false. No one has banned interstate travel. That is bizarre. Do you think any sane person believes that interstate travel has been banned in the US? Ukraine Joe doesn't even enforce the international boundaries but has allowed millions to cross into the US illegally and distributed them around the country like a tourist service in the biggest drug and sex trafficking operation in history. There are laws that do preclude crossing state lines in the commission of a crime. That doesn't mean anyone is precluded from crossing a state line, however.

Why do you insist in demonstrating your total ignorance, time after time?

Since when does a terrorist manifesto have to be published?
But because a school decides that a book is not age appropriate it is banned EVEN though it can be freely bought by anyone.
It's extreme right wing idiots who really decide it (for everybody else, I might add) and so a book previously available in a school library isn't anymore, because it is banned by that library.
Why don't you right wing fools own the things you are doing, instead of trying to weasel your way out of taking responsibility for your actions?
Of course the point isn't whether a book has a nice cover, but whether the content is available to the public. If the government suppresses the content, it is banned.
What book or content has the Government suppressed?

That's what MAGA wants. They want to take us back to how the country was before Lincoln. Every single law they are passing is a throwback to those days especially with their discrimination laws.
Republicans claim to be "pro life" but they want to kill women that have an abortion. So I guess this is Salem coming back again. Like I said, it's pure insanity.

The most recent poll indicates that 74% of Americans think the country is going in the wrong direction and 54% of Dems don't want Biden to even run. But keep dreaming. It is amazing that someone from "Europe" is so obsessed with the US. Most Americans couldn't care less about any country in "Europe" or name even a single leader there. It is a place to vacation.

Except, I'm not "from Europe", I've just live there now because I prefer it in so many ways over the US. Face it, who would want to live in a country where his grandchildren are at danger of being shot at school every day, where fanatical zealots are promoting facism, where right wing idiots try to overthrow the government and where I needed armed guards to protect my and my family's homes.
Most Americans couldn't care less about any country in "Europe" or name even a single leader there.
Most Americans don't even know where Europe is and they most certainly haven't go a clue about just how much better life is there. That's a level of ignorance that got Trump elected.
It is a place to vacation.
Please don't. Go to North Korea or Russia....

Not true.
The most recent right wing poll shows President Biden with a 48% approval rating.
https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/biden_administration/prez_track_apr24
Democrats are united behind President Biden who is the greatest jobs President in history.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/24/us/politics/biden-2024-democrats.html
74% of Americans disapprove with right wing fascism forcing women to give birth and allowing gun violence in America.
Democrats just defeated Republicans in a landslide for the Wisconsin Supreme Court seat.
The 2024 election is going to be based on democracy vs right wing fascism. The majority of Americans will re-elect President Biden over a right wing fascist.
GOP polls are underwater. 59% disapprove of Republicans.

Ukraine Joe doesn't even enforce the international boundaries but has allowed millions to cross into the US illegally and distributed them around the country like a tourist service in the biggest drug and sex trafficking operation in history. There are laws that do preclude crossing state lines in the commission of a crime. That doesn't mean anyone is precluded from crossing a state line, however.
False.

A demonstrably false talking point. Not every book ever written can be kept in a school or library. And some books are not age appropriate for school children. No reasonable person would take issue with that conclusion.
False again. These books have been in school libraries for decades.
EVERY book ever written in human history is available to the parents of any child who wishes to buy it. Every single book. No book is banned in the US. The only writing that I know of that is currently banned from the public is the manifesto of the radical leftist terrorist who attacked a religious school. It is has been illegally suppressed by the FBI from the public. No one has access to it. That is what is meant by a "banned" book.
Illegally suppressed? The FBI is still investigating the shooters motives so it's not being "suppressed".

Libraries often change the books that they choose to make available for many reasons. That doesn't mean a book is banned. EVERY book in human history is available to any American who wishes to purchase it. There has been no time in history when so many books are available at our fingertips. You can literally order any book online and have it seconds later. It is a leftist talking point fantasy to suggest that because some parents and school board members object to certain books because of the sexual content, that this books is somehow banned. Laughable. If anything, it is actually radical leftists who are attempting to ban books or even imprison authors for "misgendering" individuals. They are also censoring books to change content to suit their radical woke agenda. That is 1984 stuff.
In stark contrast, the radicalized leftist manifesto has been banned by the federal government. There is no public access to that document. Could it be made available to the public while the FBI continues to "investigate the shooters motive"? Of course it could. It is idiotic to suggest that making the manifesto public would somehow infringe on the FBI's ability to analyze the document. Even you can't believe that is the reason. They are clearly suppressing this document for as long as possible for political purposes. Hoping that the news cycle moves on and interest wanes before the contents are released.

Where have we seen this before? According to Wash Post, the recently leaked documents confirm that Afghanistan has once again become a terrorist haven. Imagine that. After 20 years of the establishment politicians and generals telling the US public that all was going great, the whole thing unraveled in a single week. Compounded by the disgraceful and incompetent exit administered by Old Joe and his clown show. Leaving an estimated $8 billion in military equipment to the Taliban. You can't make that kind of thing up. An act of treason. No one was even fired, though. Russia was emboldened by that weakness to invade Ukraine. China has been emboldened to invade Taiwan. And Ukraine Joe is trying to read note cards to remember who the WH reporters are that ask questions. It is surreal. And the topper is that he could be president for another six years because of the obsessed Trump haters who care about nothing except keeping Trump from office! Imagine Biden's mental and physical condition in a few more years. It is frightening.

Afghanistan is a terrorist haven because Criminal Donald released 5000 Taliban terrorists. Imagine that.
Criminal Donald also removed nearly all of our troops giving Biden nothing to work with for the withdrawal.
Criminal Donald caved to the Taliban surrendering to their demands as they were cheering. Total weakness and incompetence from Donnie.
This was Trump's disaster and everybody knew it would be, but those on the right want to blame Biden for it...totally pathetic.

U.S to free 5,000 Taliban fighters, lift sanctions on leaders in Afghan peace deal
March 1, 2020
The U.S. will free up to 5,000 Taliban prisoners and begin to remove economic sanctions on top Taliban leaders under the terms of a deal signed Saturday between the two sides.
The Trump administration’s long-awaited peace agreement with the Taliban — which could see the U.S. remove all of its 13,000 troops from Afghanistan within the next 14 months — includes a host of major concessions that have drawn fire from critics who say American national security could suffer. Key U.S. officials officially signed the pact on Saturday and the four-page document was released publicly soon after.

Trump's Afghanistan withdrawal announcement takes US officials by surprise
Tweet calling for troops’ return by Christmas puts peace negotiations in jeopardy and was greeted enthusiastically by the Taliban
8 October 2020
Donald Trump has announced on Twitter that he wants to bring all US troops home from Afghanistan by Christmas – a plan that came as a surprise to administration officials and which puts complicated peace negotiations in jeopardy.
Multiple officials told the Associated Press they had not been informed of any such deadline and military experts said it would be impossible to withdraw all 5,000 US troops in Afghanistan and dismantle the US military headquarters by the end of the year.
They suggested the president’s claim was aimed at shifting the news cycle away from coronavirus coverage and that the Pentagon would not act on the order before the 3 November US election.
The announcement was, however, greeted enthusiastically by the Taliban on Thursday. If Trump follows through, the militant group would almost certainly claim it as a victory, after decades of couching their fight as a war against foreign aggression.
“It’s no surprise that the Taliban have welcomed Trump’s announcement that he’d have the troops home by Christmas. They spent 19 years fighting for this,” said Ashley Jackson, the director of the ODI’s Centre for the Study of Armed Groups.
“This is the last leverage the US had left in talks with the Taliban, and Trump is proposing to give it away for free.”
Without the prospect of US military pressure, the Taliban would have little incentive to stay at the negotiating table with representatives of the Kabul government.
From a practical point of view, disentangling a 19-year military presence would take considerably longer than two months.
“It’s October, so no – it’s ridiculous. It’s simply can’t happen,” said Jason Dempsey, a former infantry officer who served in Afghanistan. “We could make some superficial show of pulling out uniformed troops, but obviously we still have a very massive contractor presence, and we would need a uniformed headquarters to oversee the shutdown and withdrawal of everything we have in country.”
Trump has made impulsive policy announcements about Afghanistan on Twitter before, including calling off a US-Taliban summit last year, shortly before a withdrawal agreement was first expected to be signed.
He also has a record of ordering abrupt and total troop withdrawals from foreign deployments. In most cases the Pentagon has sought to mitigate and slow the speed of the pullout but in some case the president has prevailed in bringing soldiers back home.
The Afghan government and Taliban negotiators are currently attempting to hammer out a new political settlement for the country in the Qatari capital. The peace talks were set up under a withdrawal agreement signed earlier this year between the Taliban and Trump’s administration.
The US-Taliban deal laid out a full departure of American forces by May 2021 but only if conditions on counter-terrorism were met, including severing ties with al-Qaida. Some critics of the Doha talks argue that the militants are merely marking time until the departure of US troops.
Trump’s plans were announced in a tweet late on Wednesday night. The White House doubled down on the message on Thursday morning: “our troops in Afghanistan are coming home by the end of the year”, the official Twitter account for the administration said.
It was the latest in a long line of ad hoc policy announcements from Trump that have caught his own advisers and military by surprise. His national security adviser, Robert O’Brien, had said shortly before Trump tweeted that troop numbers would be brought down to 2,500 early next year.
About 4,500 troops are currently on the ground in Afghanistan, reduced from over 12,000 when the deal was signed in February.
The Pentagon referred all requests for comment on Afghanistan drawdown plans to the White House.
The Taliban welcomed Trump’s remarks as “a positive step towards the implementation of [the] Doha agreement”, a spokesman for the Islamist group, Mohammad Naeem, said in a statement, referring to the US withdrawal deal.
Peace talks have been progressing slowly, with negotiators still trying to lay out the ground rules for their discussion. They are currently stalled on which school of Islam should be used when settling disputes.
Trump has made a promise to “end” America’s wars overseas part of his bid for re-election this year, promising to bring troops home from a constellation of conflict zones including Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan.
But past pledges to bring back troops have often been abandoned, reversed or only partially completed.
After ordering a total withdrawal of US troops from Syria in October 2019, Trump was persuaded to let some stay on the grounds that they would protect oil installations there. A US military presence has remained, but it is about half the size of the thousand-strong force that was supporting Kurdish forces in northern Syria.
In July, the Pentagon announced it was pulling nearly 12,000 troops out of Germany, after Trump called for a total withdrawal to punish the Berlin government over policy disagreements.
Senior military officials made clear it would take years to redeploy that number of troops, and Congress is scrutinising the order. The drawdown of foreign deployed forces was dwarfed by the dispatch of 10,000 US troops to the Gulf following the killing of the Iranian general Qassem Suleimani in January.
Dempsey, now adjunct senior fellow of the military, veterans and society program at the Center for a New American Security, said the Pentagon would wait to see the outcome of the presidential election before carrying out major troop movements.
“I think the lesson we all should have learned after four years is the president’s conception of his powers doesn’t go anywhere beyond his enjoyment of having an expanded Twitter presence,” he said. “We’ve become so inured to these kind of kneejerk attempts to win the news cycle that nobody will be talking about this 48 hours from now.”

With the world literally spiraling into chaos and disaster under Ukraine Joe and his corrupt family, the best radicalized leftists have to deflect attention is a fake talking point on banned books. Currently, the only banned writing in the entire US is the manifesto of the leftist terrorist in Nashville. Every book ever written in human history is available to any American citizen. Concerned parents and school board members removing a book from a public school for age-based content is not a ban. Even if this false claim is repeated over and over.

You want them, you got them. Deal with it. And they are only getting a small fraction of the millions crossing the border with no end in sight. Texas and other border states are being overrun. The streets are filling with people sleeping on the sidewalks. The idiotic Biden clown show are giving these folks court dates to appear before releasing them. Take a number. They are currently at over 2 million pending court dates. The next scheduled court appointment is in 2027! Chaos and disaster follow Ukraine Joe at every turn.

Nope... but it's pretty clear why you picked just that part and ignored the stuff you are actually making up.
There are no "millions of illegal immigrants" flooding any city.
Nor is there a "flood of drugs and crime"
And there are no "tens of thousands" of citizens and bussiness fleeing.

Americans are sick of the right wing fascist anti American Republican laws that right wingers are shoving down their throats.
That's why Republicans lost badly on Tuesday night's elections all across the country. Americans are sick of these anti freedom-pro fascist Republican laws of banning books, forcing women to give birth, and discriminatory laws that goes after people Republicans do not like. These issues were the number one reason people went to the polls. And in 2024, Republicans will still run on this extreme fascist platform, and they will lose again. The overwhelming majority of Americans oppose right wing fascism that the GOP supports.

Race baiting doesn't work. No person is allowed to stay on school property unless they are subject a background check. Teachers, aides, janitors etc all are subject to background checks regardless of race or citizenship. They do background checks on adults who are present at schools to ensure they are not sexual predators or criminals. That is common sense. Even you must be capable of understanding that. No adult would be allowed to move into a school and live there. It is a safety concern for the children. That, however, is exactly what the leftists were doing with unknown illegal immigrants. Housing them in a school with children while not knowing who these people are or anything about their background. They must have realized this was the case once it came to light because these people were removed. So write to the politicians expressing your idiotic opinion that you believe they are racist if that is your point.

Where does it say that those 110,000 overdose deaths were caused by drugs crossing the border in 2022?
Even leftist CNN acknowledges this fact:
CNN:
Illicit fentanyl that originates abroad is one of the most damaging weapons employed against our homeland, destroying lives and families across our country.
The drug is the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18 to 49, according to a Washington Post analysis. And based on figures released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an average of 195 Americans died every single day in 2021 due to this lethal drug, which is primarily smuggled into the US from Mexico. To put that in perspective, that is about the equivalent of the death total on 9/11 about every 15 days.

LOL. Are we are playing whack-a-mole again as you take issue with a claim, the evidence is provide, and you move on to something else? You were disputing the claim that millions crossed the border and that there were record drug deaths under Old Joe. Now we are moving on since those facts have been proven by the Biden administration's own data? And quibbling about it being 2022 data? HA HA HA. It is 2022 data because we are only five months into 2023. We won't have the 2023 numbers until the end of this year. And who was in office in 2022? Still Ukraine Joe. Embarrassing.
What evidence is provided? You haven't presented a damned thing.

I don't care what CNN or the Washington Post says or doesn't say. Claims are made all the time. That doesn't make them automatically true.
But now we know that when it suits your purpose you'll gladly take the word of "leftist" media? Are you one of those fools who believes everything he reads in a paper or hears on TV or Radio?

So you don't believe that over 100,000 Americans died from drug overdoses as reported by the CDC? And you don't believe these drugs are coming from Mexico even though the Biden administration acknowledges that fact? It is widely accepted that fentanyl - which is the source of most of these deaths - originates in China and comes to America via the open Southern border. I'm not aware of anyone on the left or right that disputes these facts. Maybe Google it and you will find numerous sources to avoid embarrassing yourself further.

Richard seems to equate drug smuggling with decent respectable "dreamers" trying to better themselves because they believe the US is "exceptional" (LOL) and that anyone can be a millionaire BS.
"Huh? You don't believe the Biden administrations own data?
And I'm blowing this out of proportion. The data indicates a
record number of illegal bordering crossings. Where do you
think those people end up? And a record number of deaths.
There were twice the number of American deaths from drugs
crossing the border in 2022 than in the entire Vietnam war."
Misconception 2: “Building a wall would greatly reduce heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, and fentanyl trafficking.”
Proponents of a border wall often claim that it would help the United States solve its opioid addiction problem by blocking heroin smugglers from Mexico. This reveals a misunderstanding of how cross-border smuggling works.
The vast majority of the drug that enters from Mexico does so through “ports of entry”—the 48 official land crossings through which millions of people, vehicles, and cargo pass every day. “Heroin seizures almost predominantly are through the port of entry and either carried in a concealed part of a vehicle or carried by an individual,” then-U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske told a congressional committee last year. “We don’t get much heroin seized by Border Patrol coming through, I think just because there are a lot of risks to the smugglers and the difficulty of trying to smuggle it through,” he said.
“The most common method employed by Mexican TCOs [Transnational Criminal Organizations] involves transporting drugs in vehicles through U.S. ports of entry (POEs),” the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) reported in its 2016 National Drug Threat Assessment. “Illicit drugs are smuggled into the United States in concealed compartments within passenger vehicles or commingled with legitimate goods on tractor trailers,” according to the document.

"Widely accepted"?
It is widely accepted that Donald Trump, when he was President, was considered to be an embarrasment and a fool by most, if not all, European leaders. Do you accept that also?

I'm not following. "Dreamers" are children brought to the US years ago. That has nothing to do with the current situation or discussion. The point is clear and undisputed. Here they are again:
1) The US has had a record number of drug overdose deaths. Over 100,000 last year. Double the American death toll for the entire Vietnam war. That is a fact widely reported by the media and confirmed by the CDC. For some inexplicable reason, Martin disputed that fact but without providing a reason much less supporting information.
2) The drugs that are causing these deaths are coming across the Southern border in the form of fentanyl. No one, including the leftists, dispute this fact. Martin is the only person that I ever heard argue that there is any doubt about where this drug is coming from. Even CNN confirms that the drugs are coming across the border. The open border policy allows for these drugs to reach the US more easily. The record number of drug deaths corresponds with the record increase in the number of illegal border crossings. There is a correlation between these events.

You're equating drug smuggling with ordinarily non-criminal working folks who cross the border in hopes of a better life, when you wrote:

I pointed out that drug smugglers don't use the migrants to smuggle drugs. "The vast majority of the drug that enters from Mexico does so through “ports of entry”—the 48 official land crossings through which millions of people, vehicles, and cargo pass every day."
The idea that ordinary people are carrying backpacks full of drugs or have leprosy or whatever is fearmongering from American degenerates, like MAGA-tards, Republicans, American evangelicals and the "moral majority".

You have provided no facts. What we know is that there is both a record number of drug deaths and a record number of illegal immigrants crossing the border. No one has suggested that every or even most of these illegals are transporting drugs. That is just the usual leftist race baiting. EVEN if it were true that the drugs are crossing from Mexico to the US via "ports of entry" that means there are not enough border agents to protect Americans. And the vast influx of illegals flooding across the border are taking resources away from those efforts. And many folks enter the US illegally via "ports of entry."

Martin found some videos on the Internet. Open the borders and let everyone through. Obviously, all the drugs coming to America are being brought by "minisubs" and not the over five million people who have crossed illegally under Old Joe through areas controlled by the drug cartels. HA HA HA. The only question that I have is if Martin truly believes his own nonsense or whether he is just having us on to pass the time. I hope it is the latter (that means the second option Martin since I recall you didn't know that).

Try YouTube for once and you'll find plenty more. It makes a mockery of your idiotic claim that drugs are being brought in by people crossing the southern border!

Idiot, there have been drugs coming in to America for decades from all over the place and in many different ways. You've got egg on your face. Just admit it and move on. There will be plenty more things you can falsely blame on Joe Biden. You just lost this argument.

Why always so hostile? Like a petulant child with no controls over their emotions. Again, no one ever argued that there were never drugs in America. No one. Talk about your favorite term: "strawman." The point is that there are CURRENTLY a RECORD number of drug deaths in the US. Those drugs are coming across the open border. These are just facts. All you fantasies about minisubs are amusing. Have some drugs in history coming in a mini-sub. Sure. But the vast majority are coming across the border which is wide open. As confirmed by the RECORD number of illegal immigrants that have crossed under Old Joe's watch.

The march towards right wing fascism continues in Florida with fascist governor Ron DeSantis.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a dangerous bill that would give virtually any health care provider (including insurance companies) the right to deny care. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill that will allow doctors and health insurance companies to deny care to anyone they want.
So basically, if a doctor or health insurance provider doesn't like your race, religion, or anything else about you, they can deny medical care to you based on this fascist discriminatory law. Other red states will probably be adopting this same fascist law. People will die being denied health care and these right wingers do not care just as long as they can discriminate against people they don't like. That's what MAGA is all about. This is not "freedom", this is fascism. And once again, this proves these right wingers are not "pro life" denying life saving medical care to American citizens.
Now if a fascist like Ron DeSantis ever got in The White House along with a right wing extremist MAGA Congress, they will be implementing fascist laws like this on the federal level which affect all 50 states. That means people in all 50 states will be denied medical care which will end up killing them. It won't just stop there, these right wingers will make discriminatory laws in just about every area of people's lives. That's why it's important to keep these right wing extremist fascists out of office.

So many eerie similarities to the LBJ presidency. An unpopular incumbent Dem president presiding over an endless war with no way out. A person named RFK running against him. Strong Republican field. Old Joe will likely get his orders soon that it is time to stand down and drop out of the race just as LBJ did. The writing is on the wall. He also looks terrible. Shuffling around with fear and confusion in his eyes like a dementia patient who has escaped his handlers. He has absolutely no idea where he is or what is going on around him.

Nice phony propaganda as usual. President Biden humiliated the Republican party in the debt ceiling deal and just finished leading the G7 summit.
There is no "Dem President presiding over a war with no way out".
