The bill that Trump had killed would have put thousands more people onto the problem, so that asylum seekers crossing the border would have been processed within weeks and then days, instead of the months to years it takes now with the immense backlog. With that speedy processing, it would legally deter the influx, once immigrants get that they don't get to game the system.

The federal government didn't ban plastic straws, and letting businesses do what they want is how we got here. They don't compete; they buy their competition, and then raise prices for obscene profits.

Politician lies about politician lies. The snake eats itself?

Neither Harris, nor Biden want open borders. There is an immigration process to go through, and international laws regarding seeking asylum, that Trump is all too happy to ignore if it gets him another vote. Of course he doesn't want it fixed, because he likes to blame it on his opponents and the immigrants' cheap labor helps his billionaire friends.

Gun laws need to be fixed when lunatics can buy and keep anything stronger than an air rifle.

Good profile. Clear photos and a thoughtful, but brief text blurb, and you filled in all the usual biographical info. You left the headline as the default "Hi.." and WTH is the job "Peer Support?"

I like that you kept your blurb light, but it almost seems generic. It's OK, though. Maybe describe the kind of woman you seek, too, unless you're not picky on that point. You left the headline as the default, but if you actually put something descriptive there, it would help you pop in search results. "Peer Support" as a profession, is vague, like you're paid to be a friend? I don't get it.

The pictures would be better if you looked into the camera lens, instead of the phone screen when snapping the pic, but I'm just being critical, and it's actually a good profile, overall. The photos show that you're a good-looking young man, so you'll probably do well. But for the photos that could be better and the text blurb that seems generic, I'd only rate it 8/10.

Good luck!

I disagree. Early on, she gave her plan to increase housing inventory to lower housing prices, and called out the recklessness of Trump's tariffs (Trump clearly doesn't know how tariffs work).

It was actually disturbing to see Trump spiraling, yelling about the Haitian immigrants in Ohio, with garbage he must've seen on X or Truth Social, made up by bots or insane people. He's got no clue. Then for disappointment, when asked about a healthcare plan, (alternative to Obamacare) he said he had "concepts of a plan." So, nine years into his political career, way after "big, beautiful" healthcare plans coming in "two weeks", he's down to concepts. But Trump was clearly rattled when Harris brought up Trump's rallies and how people get bored, there.

Trump disbanded the pandemic task force way before the pandemic came along. He was determined to undo anything 'Obama' that he could. Check the timeline if you don't get that. Speeding up the vaccine was only a matter of quickening the FDA approval process, which Trump did do (and probably any president would've done) but also led to vaccine deniers to cry that the government was trying to kill them. And trump wasn't going to try to change their minds, since they were part of his base, and he pathologically cannot disagree with someone who pretends to like him. Most of the Americans who died during the Biden Administration were vaccine skeptics. Trump beefed the pandemic response.

Yes, Trump was alright, besides all the criminality until he had to do his job. He totally beefed the pandemic response, thanks largely to disbanding the pandemic response task force emplaced by the Obama administration, having successfully handled bird flu and Ebola.

The cost of labor is only a small part of the cost of running a McDonald's. It literally takes seconds to make a hamburger.

Wait. Trump didn't do anything to make America better. Just scared the cr*p out of his fans over immigration, despite lowering crime rates, and then gave himeself and his rich friends huge tax cuts. Exploded the national debt. And you want more school kids murdered while he tells lies about "abortions after nine months." The guy's a convicted felon, for crying out loud.

Yes, Harris' stance on issues like fracking and immigration have moderated, because she's learned to build consensus to effect change, and we can get past natural gas later. Solar and wind power are already the cheapest power generation, and battery storage is becoming so affordable that we're basically wiping out nuclear power, and the money saved by not polluting the air and water with coal ash, will pay $billions in dividends.

No, that's not how it works. If it were that wages were too high, the jobs would've left long ago. California's always paid more than other countries, and the minimum wage in other states is still lower, but the companies aren't all leaving, or even all paying the minimum. It's the job, and the pay is where the employer and employee meet.

As for poor people hiring, I've been employed by lots of places where they're worth less than $10 million, or even the $100 million point where the proposed wealth taxes would kick in. Except for the biggest companies, I usually have no insight of what the employer is worth. I had one job where my last paycheck didn't cash, so I guess that counts as a poor company.

It's a good start, but the pictures could be a lot better and your text blurb is a mess.

I like that your text blurb lays it out what you're dealing with, what you like and what you're headed toward. Good for you! Only, you didn't fix the typos, and there are several. Maybe that's my problem, and you're being yourself, and maybe even put those in on purpose to seem care-free or artistic, but it bothers me. I'd say I'm not your target, but you don't say what you're looking for. That'd be something good to include in the blurb.

It's annoying that all your pictures cut off part of your face or head. Like they were shot in a hurry and you don't really care how they turned out. Maybe you could get a friend to take some pictures of you, and have them make sure not to leave your head and face out of the shot. Maybe dress a bit nicer when taking them. Again, maybe I'm missing the point of your lifestyle and that's the way you want to be seen, but to me, it looks messy. The camera angle is good--shooting from above like that brings out the cheekbones. A smile would've been nice, but you do you.

Honestly, I'm a bit confused by the "femboy" thing, and don't know everything that it brings with it, so I could be completely upside-down on this, but from a conventional standpoint, the profile needs better photos and maybe some small fixes to the text. As is, I'd rate it 6/10.

Good luck!

P.S. I've been working in the computer software industry, and know it's your passion that will get you the furthest. Don't back down; keep working on that dream!

You filled in the biographic information, and have some photos, which is good. Though the photos could be better and you left the headline and blurb section blank. It's a start.

For the photo, it always looks better when you're looking into the lens of the camera, and wearing sunglasses may seem a bit suspicious. For better results, take off the sunglasses and maybe smile for a picture or two. Take a few minutes to put something into the blurb section to tell the ladies what you're like and what you're looking for. That would be way more helpful than "I will tell you later." Also, maybe come up with a headline and replace that lame, default "Hi.." (My pet peeve).

Anyway, you seem like a good-looking guy and being so tall doesn't hurt, either. You don't look sloppy or messy in your pics. And I think a lot of people don't even read the profile so you should be alright. But for the profile with just OK photos and text that doesn't say enough about you, I can only rate it 6/10.

Good luck!

There's this from MarketWatch:

And the money to Iran was not US taxpayer funds, but just some of the sanctioned Iranians' savings previously frozen.

Well, he certainly spent more than this administration ever will.

Chicken little? I never said it was a Trump issue. Did you think that because I used "colluded" that it automatically implicates Trump? LOL

The indictment from the DOJ was against two RT (Russian media) employees.

The photo is good. It clearly shows your face. If the photo was more centered and you didn't look so depressed, it would be better. Then again, the pouty look works for some people, so I could be wrong. You might try uploading more photos to show another aspect of yourself, like out at interesting places or wearing something nice.

Otherwise, I like that the profile is completely filled-in. You might try to include more information about yourself and what kind of person you seek, but the blurb you wrote is nicely short, and you seem to say that you are open to different people, so that's fine. And it's clear that you're a good-looking young woman, so you should be alright.

For the well-completed profile, but with just the one photo that could be better, I rate it 9/10. Good job!

Good luck!

If Putin thought he had a cake walk with Dems in office, he knows he's sorely mistaken. The $billions in military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, despite Republicans demanding to stop all funding to Ukraine prove it.

The recent DOJ indictment against the Russians isn't disinformation. They have the receipts. It was a Russian operation to sponsor some idiotic American influencers into spreading their usual BS, but the indictment shows the network knowingly colluded with the Russian agents and tried to hide the financing.

Netanyahu didn't ask to meet with Harris and besides, he's campaigning for Trump. It's the Republicans using Bibi--and Bibi using the Republicans for political leverage. And trump unilaterally overturned the Iranian nuclear disarmament agreement, leading to nuclear proliferation, and had Soleimani killed, which led to Iran to fire missiles at a US airbase in Iraq. That's not upsetting?

People do forget lessons from history, and sometimes admire the ones on TV shouting the loud, funny words, no matter whom they hurt. That's how the US got Trump, and that guy was so good at it, he made people believe all Trump's lies and excuse his crimes.

With all the horrible things happening around the world, it's no wonder that people try to get out and find better places, ending up in places like Germany and the US. Then these fascists point at the newcomers and scream that they're going to hurt you and your family. It is sad.
