That's basically every president. Not saying that makes it ok.

According to those, Trump, a one term president, was on course to spend as much as Obama, a 2 term president, if he won a second term.

Good job to Joey B for only increasing the debt by about 17%.

I wouldn't even call my comments pro Trump. Just not anti Trump. I don't really care about the orange man too much to be honest.

It is my hope that, if I'm patient enough, Lemmy will become a diverse platform where people can share different thoughts and ideas without it quickly devolving into hyperbole and name calling. That probably sounds foolish, but we'll see.

Why? Nothing happened during his first presidency. If he'd learn to shut his mouth and stay off Twitter, I would have forgotten he existed.

Talk is cheap. The man is a career shit talker. Hit me up when he actually does something that negatively impacts me.

Yes. Let me break it down for you. My comment was meant to imply the majority of Lemmy will have a meltdown. Not every single person who uses the platform. But you already knew that.

What? Why wouldn't there be?

Keep your head held high, my bean chili brother.

Damn selfish people, always trying to pass on their "being alive" disease.

Because you're sending a message that it's ok to break the law as long as you eventually are in compliance with the law. This is a complicated situation, especially when you have a wife/husband and children involved. I won't pretend to have all the answers. Obviously no one is happy when a family of many years is separated, but this person knew what they were doing was wrong (from a legal perspective), and did it anyway. Just like breaking any other law, there are consequences for our actions.

I get that though. If a country endorses that, you're inviting more people to break the law, get in the country, then apply for citizenship.

Also, what happened to green cards? A non-legal citizen marries a legal one, and eventually they get citizenship. Is that not a thing anymore?
