Ignacio Cruz-Mendoza, 47, was driving a semi involved in a fatal crash on US 285 near Conifer last Tuesday, June 11. Colorado State Patrol announced his arrest two days later on charges of vehicular assault

He has been deported 16 times. A DA recommended he gets 1 year of jail sentence.

CNN: "You have been vice president for three and a half years, the steps that you're talking about now, why haven't you done them already?"

Harris: "Well, first of all, we had to recover as an economy, and we have done that."

We all know you have a hard time with the English language. Read it slowly, and use your fingers if that helps. Or put it into the same ChatGPT that you used to use to write your posts and tell it to translate it to something a 5th grader would understand.

You mentioned the Green New Deal. I have always believed, and I have worked on it, that the climate crisis is real, that it is an urgent matter to which we should apply metrics that include holding ourselves to deadlines around time. We did that with the Inflation Reduction Act. We have set goals for the United States of America, and by extension, the globe, around when we should meet certain standards for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as an example. That value has not changed."

The US Army has issued a stark rebuke of the Donald Trump campaign for an incident with an employee at Arlington National Cemetery. https://cnn.it/4g3HzWi

It would be impossible for any member of the military that is loyal to the oath they took to respect Trump as the commander in chief, including me. Trump’s disrespectful nature causes those who protect this country to hate him and he wonders why the Secret Service didn’t protect him like all other former POTUS? The guy is a joke. 🤣

Yawn. Why didn't Biden fire his commanders for botching up the withdrawal. Biden the fool thought he would win praise and glory for withdrawing every troop before Sep 11 thus ending America's longest war.

Biden assured Americans last month that a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan was “not inevitable,” and denied that U.S. intelligence assessed that the Afghan government would likely collapse. But it did — and quickly

Intelligence failure or just plain stupidity on the part of the commander in chief?

That's what should be addressed not some photos used in a campaign .


Fire commanders? 😂🤣You don’t know the first thing about the American military or even the chain or command, do you? Of course you don’t!
You and tons of guys on this forum continue to demonstrate lack of knowledge by referring America’s role in Afghanistan as a war. You keep referring to it as America’s longest war when it wasn’t a war at all and the withdrawal was planned from the beginning. We trained Afghani forces and gave them tools to prevail and when we left, they ran like cowards. The collapse and the Taliban taking over isn’t hurting America and Americans, it’s hurting Afghanistan and Afghanis.

Kamala Harris at the DNC supported the need for a Southern border wall pledging upwards of $650 million to fund it.

Her previous comments

Kamala Harris on the border wall over the years:

2017: "Asking taxpayers to pay for a border wall is a terrible idea."

2018: "Funding Trump’s unrealistic border wall would be a gross misuse of taxpayer money."

2019: "Trump's border wall is stupid."

Democrat voters are really stupid and incapable of critical thought .I highly suspect she won't debate Trump for whatever flimsy reason .
Then some of you will write long love letters here explaining why she skipped the debate.

Actually, Trump is the one drumming up excuses about not muting his mic to avoid the debate. 😃
Next, you quoting the comments on the border wall is hilarious because the guy that promised to build the wall was in office for four years and failed to build the wall he sold his minions on. Kamala was right, it would’ve been stupid to ask taxpayers to pay for the wall when TRUMP told Americans that he was going to force Mexico to pay for the wall? Did you forget him saying that over and over? 😂🤣

This is gibberish, you sound like you have no idea of what happened in Afghanistan



Yes, 13 troops died. Anytime a soldier dies is a tragedy. But, they are troops, there to fulfill missions in dangerous places. If you are this angry about those 13 troops you may want to check out how many troops died in Afghanistan and Iraq.
It's clear your rage is manufactured. That's why 13 troops who died under Biden seem to matter more to you than the 65 who died under Trump.
Preventable deaths caused by the folly of being the one who ended the longest war.
Obama had 1800 deaths of the 2500 who died in Afghanistan alone. Many would not have died,were it not his micromanaging the war and changing Rules of Engagement. Eg don't fire unless those goatherders in civilian gear shoot at you first.

Democrats think they are smart.

CNN: "You have been vice president for three and a half years, the steps that you're talking about now, why haven't you done them already?"

Kamala Harris’ COMPLETE response:

“Well, first of all, we had to recover as an economy and we have done that. I'm very proud of the work that we have done that has brought inflation down to less than three percent. The work that we have done to cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month for seniors. Donald Trump said he was going to do a number of things, including allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices.

Never happened. We did it. So now, and I, as I travel in the state of Georgia and around our country, the number of seniors that have benefited, I've met, I was in Nevada recently, a grandmother who showed me her receipts and before we capped the cost of insulin for seniors at $35 a month, she was playing hundreds of dollars up to thousands of dollars a month for her insulin. She's not doing that anymore.”

Excuse me sir, but what? You wouldn’t have to know any of that. You didn’t know any of that useless information when you made an incorrect statement about the stores closing in a ‘Democratic stronghold’ like Cali due to minimum wage hikes. I asked you to explain what caused stores in the same franchise to close in Texas, a Republican stronghold.
Re-read how you replied to me and tell me if it makes any sense—you know that it doesn’t.

Sores closures and downsizing are a normal thing. When you have a state suddenly ramp up one core business expenses ie human capital that would obviously accelerate store closures.
You can't bring yourself to admit that many democrat policies are vote buying endeavors.

No, neither of those things are normal. Sir, your explanation isn’t making sense and you’re contradicting yourself —basically talking in a circle. You said that the closures in blue California were a result of the minimum wage hike but when I asked you to explain the reasons for closures in red Texas, you can’t give me a clear answer. Why not?

Trump built 455 miles walls of barriers and border wall. He was hamstrung by Paul Ryan who refused to factor in the $25 billion required in the budget estimates. Trump used excess defence funds to build a wall not like the one he wanted. A judge stopped the diversion of the money.
Further build the wall built 5 miles of wall , then New York DA went after them claiming they had defrauded donors that every penny was to build the wall. Did Build the wall buy a boat using the funds he set aside for administration expenses? More on that later. Kamala wants $650 million while the remaining part requires around $6 billion to complete, At most she will do 70 miles of the wall. So it's all smokes and mirrors from her.

Trump border wall was opposed by a lot of people within his party and 100% of the democrats.
Paul Ryan abruptly left congress and got a board membership at Fox news.

Let’s backtrack. Trump’s CAMPAIGN PROMISE was that he would build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. He didn’t say anything about the things you mentioned. He said he’d make Mexico pay for the border wall he promised to build. Before we blame anyone else, let’s talk about the origin of error.

I've already answered that. He does not make the budget, he directs but Paul refused saying $25 billion was unavailable. I can argue that had he gotten the funds to build a wall he would have figured out a way to recoup the expenses from Mexico..Whether it's from a dollar tax for every car imported from mexico over a period of 99 years.😅😅. I don't see anywhere where he said when Mexico would pay .

But Trump didn’t say a budget was needed, he said that he would make Mexico pay for the entire wall and it wouldn’t cost us anything. He never mentioned being reimbursed or needing Paul Ryan to allocate the funds, he said he would make Mexico pay for it.
