    Dumb shit. YOU are the one who said there was nothing to discuss if anyone thought Biden helped the American people. I disagreed so there is nothing further to discuss, just as YOU decreed. Try to keep up. See you in 2026.

    Then we'd have to make more dimes. Same issue.

    No, dimes only cost 6 cents to make, according to the Google machine.

    So if we don't want to get rid of cash entirely, how about just getting rid of coinage? Make $1 the lowest denomination?

    Any downsides?

    I'm an American, so is my immigrant first generation wife...your guy wants white South African immigrants but not black South African immigrants or Asian South African immigrants...pretty clear what ideology you subscribe to when it comes to Americans first! My American first generation wife or some South African non American white person? Which one gets hassled at the airport? Give you one guess. Those brown people you're afraid of have been on this continent for 15 thousand years...your white good old boy club has been around a few hundred years. Which one is the native to the land eh? As an American I want my country to welcome the poor, downtrodden and oppressed with a future of freedom and liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Why don't you? Do you believe in Trump's tainted immigrant gene pool theory? You need to put Americans like my wife and I first! American values are not isolationistic.

    It depends on what you're doing. I never had any problems.

    But you were just talking about documented immigrants who were in the process of being vetted...
    I don't believe this is the case. They are free to work and they tend to do so. And they pay sales tax as well as income taxes. Even illegals do.
    From everything I've seen immigrants pay their own way. I never have immigrants asking for money on the street corners... There is an unaccounted for trillion dollar + benefit being pumped into the US economy every year. Most people think that this is from illegal immigrants, but since they aren't documented it can't be proven. But there isn't any other logical source...

    2nd generation immigrants (legal or illegal) are the most productive members of American society. And both immigrants and illegal immigrants commit crime at lower rates than natural born Americans.

    So I really don't want to take all of this benefit away from our country. I'd rather we just work on making a streamlined system that is less likely to be abused.

    As we just discussed, I really don't believe they are a net negative.

    I didn't say Biden's policies were good. I asked about which of his policies you thought was bad. You complained about legally documented immigrants.

    Propaganda is very effective. And Democrats have been corrupt enough that they have trouble holding their heads high against even Trump.

    They haven't been as corrupt as Republicans. But they certainly haven't done the people many favors.

    That's catching up to them, and Trump is the perfect person to take advantage of that. As terrifying as that is for me.

    You put Americans first? Who is American? My Black transgender Buddhist neighbor? My trans nephew? Me, Jewish lesbian? The Americans who recovered $17 billion ripped off from us by greedy corporations thanks to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau? The Americans who stand to lose resources for special education if Department of Education shuts down? The American workers who were just told their vote to unionize can't be certified because National Labor Relations Board no longer has quorum? The American taxpayers whose financial data is now in the hands of Elon Musk? The thousands of American workers being ordered to quit their jobs? The American scientists at National Institute of Health whose work is stopped? The Venezuelan Americans who turned out for Trump, even recent arrivals who couldn't vote displayed Trump signs, and he removed their temporary protected status? So their relatives are deported? The children who will get measles and polio?
    Just who is a fucking American to you?

    US pennies were all manufactured at one plant in Tennessee which will presumably be shut down, costing town 200 jobs. Tennessee voted overwhelmingly for Trump. Never thought the face eating leopard party would eat their faces.

    Forgot this one: Ending daylight savings time (or ending standard time, either way works fine for me).

    Unfortunately the news this week is that Trump has decided that this one is too complex for him to tackle after all.

    So he's now 0-5 on my list of his proposals that I like. Not a surprise.
