Hey, #NeverTrumper, you voted for this with your Trump Derangement Syndrome. This is what you agitated for by telling everyone to vote for not just Joe Biden, but Senators and Representatives. No crying. No whining. No complaining. Own it.
Big Business: Joe Biden’s Amnesty for Illegal Aliens Is a Legislative Priority
The big business lobby is cheerleading President-elect Joe Biden’s massive amnesty plan for the 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the United States, calling the initiative one of their many “priorities.â€
Biden floated the amnesty plan with a number of open borders and business lobbying groups during a meeting this week. Some executives with the groups are calling the amnesty “the most aggressive†plan they have seen while working on Capitol Hill, suggesting it includes not only legislation, but executive orders to legalize most of the illegal alien population. (snip)
Today, 18 million Americans are jobless, and another 6.2 million are underemployed, all of whom want full-time jobs with competitive wages and good benefits. Their chances of securing higher wages and more job opportunities are crushed by the mass inflow of illegal and legal immigration.
So, you have all these Americans jobless because of COVID, and Joe wants to add all these illegals to the rolls, who will take all those American jobs, and depress wages. There’s another massive migrant caravan moving towards the U.S., and, if Congress and Joe pass an amnesty, it will incent even more. And Joe could always expand the DACA idiocy. So, what could Joe and the Dems do for wages?
Buried the lede: “The CBO also estimated the move would cost 1.3 million American jobs..” https://t.co/gp0AA43itD

That’s right, it would destroy jobs, just like we’ve seen in cities that have implemented this. Portland and Seattle, among others, just saw businesses reduce their workforce, limit hours to avoid overtime, or just leave the city. California has seen the same, but, they just leave the state, some to Mexico. What happens if it is all of the U.S.? The same, except, when they leave, they do not leave for another state, they go to other countries. And, businesses who stay just pass on the increased cost to consumers. Which raises the cost of living, making the wage increase much lower. Some jobs just aren’t worth that much. Perhaps all the low wage workers agitating for getting paid more than their skills are worth should work on their skills. The median pay for a plumber is $55.
But, both of those require, really, a law from Congress. The only way that happens is if the Senate nukes the filibuster, which they should realize will boomerang back when the GOP eventually takes over. But, what of
Joe Biden Day 1: Order on Transgender Rights in Sports and Bathrooms
President-elect Joe Biden vowed to his supporters that, on his first day in office, he will begin removing any legal recognition of the two sexes by adopting pro-transgender polices.
Biden’s campaign website promises:
On his first day in office, Biden will reinstate the Obama-Biden guidance revoked by the Trump-Pence Administration, which will restore transgender students’ access to sports, bathrooms, and locker rooms in accordance with their gender identity. He will direct his Department of Education to vigorously enforce and investigate violations of transgender students’ civil rights. (snip)
Biden has also promised to sign the Equality Act into law in his first 100 days, a measure that would remove federal  recognition of two sexes.
The Equality Act will codify into federal law transgender bathrooms, the elimination of women-only sports, forcing preferred pronoun use, and other similar special transgender privileges.
So, on day one he plans to ruin women’s sports, make women and girls suffer with biological males in their bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers. Yay? Expect lots and lots and lots of lawsuits. We’ll see if the vast number of conservatives Trump and McConnell put on federal courts, including the Supreme Court, will matter.
The Equality Act’s bit about forcing pronoun use is against the 1st Amendment, so, expect lots of lawsuits there, too. If Democrats can get it through, which would require nuking the filibuster, again. And, if they forgot to include severability, that would destroy the entire law. But, yes, Democrats do want to codify Wrongthink as a crime.
These are just a few things that Joe plans to mess up. So, Never Trump should shut up and take it, and all the Dems losing their jobs and having their daughters exposed to boys and losing their earned sports spots, including scholarships, also need to shut up and take it.
Why don’t the “Democrats” just make a law against owning a small business? After all they spent the last year closing and opening and changing the rules about how they can operate and now the pretender wants to force businesses that are holding on by the nails increase their payroll by as much as 100%. And that’s just the bad news.
The really bad news is that restaurants especially will eliminate employees and replace them with alternative sources mostly kiosks and self ordering. One thing you gotta say about the left is they sure know how to kick a guy when he’s down. The other thing you can say is they never let economic facts get in the way of their anti-free market narrative. They seem determined to put every non-unionized worker on the dole. I guess that’s part of our punishment for voting for Trump.
Let the purges begin!
Lol
Kye the trump virus will have killed 400000 during trumps term
Remember when you thought it was all fake news ? Remember when trump told us it was going to magically disappear in April when the weather got warmer
Remember when he told us that mexico woukd pay for the wall?
And now you are still willing to believe him when he says he won the election ??
Remember when you failed to come up with alternatives that you think Trump should have done during the beginning of the pandemic? Of course at first it wasn’t even a pandemic. So, ok John-let’s hear them
The filibuster shoujd have ended decades ago
Our country is so divided now that only a simple majority will be able to pass any meaningful legislation
The House doesn’t have one and neither shoujd the Senate
Plus DC andPuerto RIco will soon become states
They will give the Dems 4 senators
It’s illegal for DC to be a state and Puerto Rico may have some say as to whether they want to be one. Last time they voted it didn’t go so well for statehood. BTW, the states get to vote on admittance to the Union so how do you think your 5 blue states will do? Oh, that’s right you’ll just cheat and make PR not only a state but the capitol.
“Our country is so divided now that only a simple majority will be able to pass any meaningful legislation”
Wow. You were THIS close to consciousness…
The fact that it’s deeply divided – almost evenly – should mean legislation should require 2/3 or 3/4 of Congress. In fact, that should be made permanent.
Think about it, if you can. I have doubts.
Both parties have large contingents of zealots.
The GOP has a sizable “Freedom Caucus” and an emerging “Sedition Caucus” (over 100 GOP reps challenged the election… in fairness, some Republicans say they challenged the election so as not to make their families targets of violence from the far-right; others said it would help their fund-raising). It’s unclear what they want, but includes an abortion ban, a Wall, spending cuts for all but defense…
The Dems have their far-left contingent, led by Sen Sanders (I-VT) that includes “The Squad” and others in the House. They want a $15 minimum wage, universal healthcare, police reform etc.
Elwood, the GOP has no “emerging Sedition Caucus”. As you are (or should be) well aware challenging elections has been done by both sides since the dawn of the Republic. Why do you feel you must sound like a crazed communist with every comment?
Here’s where idiot like you take your cue. Check out the picture on this “Democrats” wall then tell me who has the fukin “Sedition Caucus”.

Illegal immigrants taking jobs from Americans ??
But
But
I thought they were all lazy welfare collecting criminals??
Teach half are under 18
You think that those Lazy illegals who can’t even speak English are going to be able to compete in the labor market against red blooded hard working AMERICANS??
Free market capitalism means employers have tge choice to higher whom they wish
Keep BIG GOVERNMENT. Off the backs of business !!
Yes, Hairy. Illegal immigrants take jobs from the lowest level of labor: unskilled. Even a moron commie with little or no economic expertise such as yourself should know that. It’s the LOWEST rung, the POOREST, the NEEDIEST tat are most susceptible to job loss through illegal immigration.
BTW, nobody is saying they are necessarily “lazy”. They don’t have to be. They WORK UNDER THE TABLE and still collect YOUR TAX DOLLARS in social welfare programs. Is that what you want you fool?
We don’t have Free Market Capitalism and haven’t in our history. Again, your lack of economic knowledge is terrifying. Did you graduate high school? Right now the left is in the process of transforming America into a Plutocracy as you should know if you are aware of anything. It will be a fascist state which commies like you and Elwood will love until like the fascist Hitler did to the communist Stalin, the fascists turn on you.
You socialists can’t even get along among each other let alone Free People. You’re all fukin murderers and tyrants. Power hungry liars.
Kye,
The US was designed to function as a plutocracy with some winks to populism. There’s little question that corporations and wealthy donors largely control our politicians and hence our policies. Both the Dem and GOP elites promote this. The occasional populist (e.g., Bernie Sanders) and pseudo-populist (Trump) arise.
Here’s a somewhat dated essay* on our plutocracy:
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/06/the-pitchforks-are-coming-for-us-plutocrats-108014
The impact of immigrants on US “native” employment and pay, and on the overall economy is not as clear as the the anti-immigrant pretends.
Undocumented immigrants take few jobs from US “natives”. Vanda Felbab-Brown (Brookings Inst) explains that many of the jobs occupied by undocumented workers in the United States are physically demanding jobs that Americans do not want, such as gutting fish or work on farm fields. She argues, “fixing immigration is not about mass deportations of people but about creating a legal visa system for jobs Americans do not want. And it is about providing better education opportunities, skills-development and retooling, and safety nets for American workers”.
Undocumented workers DO pay taxes, many pay more than Donald Trump. They pay local taxes, sales taxes, property taxes and many pay Social Security and income taxes.
Of course the US does not have unfettered free market capitalism. No nation does. The top “most prosperous” nations are dominated by New Zealand, Australia, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway and Canada. We can do better for Americans.
Here’s an essay by Joseph Stiglitz that criticizes Obama!
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/06/the-myth-of-americas-golden-age-108013
The commenter who last night decried name-calling and wants people to let Mr Trump leave uncriticized just called the opposition: fascist, commies, Hitler, Stalin, murderers, tyrants, power hungry liars. He refers to Trump and himself and those who think as he does as the “Free People”.
*At the same time that people like you and me (Hanauer was referring to the super-wealthy like him) are thriving beyond the dreams of any plutocrats in history, the rest of the country—the 99.99 percent—is lagging far behind. The divide between the haves and have-nots is getting worse really, really fast. In 1980, the top 1 percent controlled about 8 percent of U.S. national income. The bottom 50 percent shared about 18 percent. Today the top 1 percent share about 20 percent; the bottom 50 percent, just 12 percent. (this was in 2014 – it’s worse now).
But the problem isn’t that we have inequality. Some inequality is intrinsic to any high-functioning capitalist economy. The problem is that inequality is at historically high levels and getting worse every day. Our country is rapidly becoming less a capitalist society and more a feudal society. Unless our policies change dramatically, the middle class will disappear, and we will be back to late 18th-century France. Before the revolution.
Why do you keep calling the Chinese Wuhan virus “The Trump Virus”? Are you stupid, ignorant or just the standard leftist liar. BTW, as lies go about 50,000 people out of your phony 400,000 “victims” actually died from Wuhan. The rest MAY have had Wuhan but died from something else and many were killed in accidents, murders and suicides. STOP LYING it makes people not believe ANYTHING yo say, or don’t you realize that? You do realize that a politician can’t stop a virus except maybe in children’s books, right?
It still is all fake news and you still believe it because to admit you’ve been taken in would invalidate your narrative. And yes, I remember when Trump said it would be gone by summer. That’s one of the few times he was wrong about something. Even the President can’t be right 100% of the time. Or do you childishly expect he can?
Hairy, Planned Parenthood murdered 1.7 million American babies during Trump’s term. What’s that got to do with a stolen election?
I do remember when he said Mexico would pay for the wall but that was before you communists did everything in your power to stop the wall. Again, so what?
You also believe him when he says he won the election or the Democommies would have investigated it, recounted where necessary and PUBLICLY validated it instead of hiding all the facts and calling legitimate concerns stupid, lies, and treason. If you weren’t afraid of THE TRUTH you’d put it out in the light instead of hiding in the dark. You illegal despot Xiden is a Red Chinese puppet, just like you. At least he, his family and Hunter are getting paid millions to betray their country. What have you got?
Kye asks: “Why do you keep calling the Chinese Wuhan virus “The Trump Virusâ€?”
Because people like you call it the China Virus, a hoax, the Kung Flu, an engineered virus created in China etc etc.
Your claim that “only” 50,000 have died from Covid-19 is suspect. Your masters have said only 6% of the total is real which means “only” 24,000 have died from Covid-19. But facts show OVER 400,000 “excess deaths” (you can look it up) in 2020, and that the overall US life expectancy dropped by one year (for Black Americans it dropped 2 years!).
I thought you wanted to stop all the name calling? Have a change of heart?
Even the occasionally level-headed TEACH has become an angry zealot with the trump collapse. Can you excuse trump’s throwing his supporters under the bus? On Jan 6 he urged his supporters to FIGHT!, FIGHT!, FIGHT!, but afterwards he was cowed by what he had caused, afraid of the blowback, i.e., impeachment, prosecution and criticism.
There is no evidence President Trump encouraged anyone to use violence.
Maxine Waters maybe…
Harris definitely.
Thanks Rimjob for the fantasies.
Lolgfy!
If the right can’t impeach and convict Biden, and then Harris, maybe they can vote them out in 2024.
If the right engineers a tsunami of votes in Nov 2022 they can win the House AND the Senate!!
Chins up, boys, chins up. Or have Republicans given up on democracy and are now embracing mob-ocracy?
