:suspicious: This is nuts. You do not get practice sessions for debates at the debate venue, closed captioning at a debate. If Fetterman is too impaired to simply stand behind a podium and answer questions, he’s too impaired to be a US Senator.
Eh, I have no problem with the accommodations for Fetterman and I have no problem with Oz's three stipulations as well. If Fetterman isn't physically or mentally able to function in a debate with those conditions then I think viewers will see that and it will be up to the voters how they feel about that and if they want to cast their vote in that direction. Voters can vote for whomever they want to vote for, just show them the candidates (which this debate will show) and make their own judgements from there.
How do you have a practice session for a political debate? I would think that there would typically be internal practice sessions but how would it work with your actual opponent? Would the moderator use the same questions that they planned to use in the actual debate?

Wait. I thought they were a sanctuary city. :suspicious: A true lib would say they all can stay. With a population of over 17k, Martha’s Vineyard can surely easily handle 50 illegals. The wealthy uber libs of Martha’s Vineyard I’m sure all have spare bedrooms and/or guest houses. If they were good liberals, they would simply open their own homes to these folks… Heck, Obama’s estate alone has something like 10 bedrooms. Most of them could stay there..:coffee:

I do think after the 3 busload (so what, something like 100 people in total or so) that NYC declared an emergency and said they were being overrun with immigrants.
I think Chicago didn't even wait that long and did it on the second bus load.
And its already rattling them.

The strategy by Abbott, Ducy, and now Desantis is fooking brilliant. And other conk govs should join in. Just keep sending them.. :nod:

Remember the Biden secret illegal immigrant flights?
https://nypost.com/2022/01/27/biden-is- ... t-flights/
So Biden transporting illegals into the interior of the country is ok for the left. Its only bad when conk governors do it.

Detaining someone at gun point for jogging while black is cool if you’re a donk. Its only racist when conks do it. Reminds me of what happened in GA but the jogger didn’t resist and Fetterman didn’t pull the trigger. From 2013.

That's been one of the big issues coming up for Fetterman on how to address. Everyone's known the story has been out there (pretty sure it was discussed during the primary), Oz has just been waiting to tee it up for the general election. Thankfully no one was hurt, but it was the case of a white guy with a weapon confronting a black guy solely because he was black.

That's great to hear. My grandma had a stroke (more like series of strokes) and was in a mostly vegetative state for a decade before passing.

Back to this issue, does it make sense to put a senate seat in the hands of someone who might have medical issues for the rest of their life? This person is going to weigh in on issues that impact all of the nation seeing as its a Senate seat. Seems like the Donks could/should have done a better job at vetting their candidate...same goes for the conks for picking Dr. Oz.
Have you seen the mental and physical condition of the senate?

A wealthy and very white sanctuary city deported their illegals in less than 24 hours. Let that sink in.

Right…so it’s not a simple issue and one we all share in.
We might all share in it but the border states are disproportionately impacted by it. Biden and his administration abdicated their responsibility to secure our border while leaders in these liberal enclaves cheered them on. Texas took the initiative to share the pain and the irony of the liberal complaints is rich. Maybe this will lead to our leaders actually working to secure our borders and putting in place a reasonable immigration policy rather than sticking their heads in the sand. If Texas hadn't done this, I'm confident the Biden administration would have done nothing while the crisis worsened.

Its a very simple issue:
-Finish the wall
-End catch and release.
-Reinstate Remain in Mexico
-Reinstate Title 42.

And the 2 1/2 million encounters a year now would go down to what they were last yr under Trump, about 400-500k. Problem mostly solved.
So much faster and easier to just jail the employers hiring illegals. :thumb:
There's going to be 87k more IRS agents to hurt them where it matters most. :coffee:

long overdue for the freeloaders but they still need to make examples of a few of the worst offenders. Do that and watch the problem shrink - of course then you need to find somebody else to demonize :coffee:

This is the 2nd time you’ve posted this. What expense, precisely, is the Fed enduring here? In fact its the other way around, the states (TX, AZ, FL) should BILL the feds for the expense of shipping these illegals out.
