Just got back from the grocery store, I now hate the media and the left (I know I repeated myself) for the hysteria more than I did even 2 hours ago

I felt the same after yesterday but it wasn't hating the left or the media. I was hating us and what we have become. People acting like A-holes because they come first. Like one lady said as she tried to cut line, "every man for himself." I had to grab my wife and pull her away because she was up in that lady's grill about that one. One thing though, she was motivated and we made it out of Costco in record time. That woman can shop.

Like I said before, I have mixed emotions about all of this, it's a fight between sadness and disgust and right now disgust is going for the tap out.

Then what is your plan to address illegal border crossings?

Mainly punish and or fine the people hiring them. All the way from the factory, hotel and restaurant owners to they guy that hires one to mow his lawn. Also more manpower wouldn't hurt. Those billions we are putting into the wall would hire a lot of agents.

I agree with that as well but the left and the media are the main ones pushing this crap. As we were walking through I told my wife that the more time I am around people, the more I hate them

Fort Campbell. I showered and shaved in Tennessee and slept in Kentucky. (or vise versa, I forget. There was a yellow line running through our barracks with KY on one side and TN on the other.

I've been in Costco once in my life and it was in the middle of summer a couple of years ago and it was a zoo then. What would possess a person to want to shop in a Costco during a global pandemic when a public mass hysteria is in full bloom?

How about refusing them free housing/medical/schooling etc.??? Would you deport the criminals? Would you turn over convicted criminals to ICE, after they left prison/jail?

Three years ahead of y'all. I quit school in my Jr year at UT and enlisted in the Army - hated school. Fortunately I was a little more ready when I went back, but it still sucked. It's amazing how much more you can learn about stuff like calculus when you see it applied outside the classrooms where it's taught by math majors.

I'm guessing the reason no one else in your family will touch the stuff, is they are too busy touching children.

Well, that escalated quickly.... Any particular reason why touching children was the first thing to come to your mind?

I'm thinking you must be projecting your own past onto others to normalize it...... Here's a hint. It's not.

And I'm sure your probation officer would be more interested in that tidbit than I am.

A lot of gas it will pass. Biogas from landfills.

I had some training for dryers for biogas to try and get some business from this industry. Never did really work it though. We normally use AA or Molecular Sieve in regenerative pressure swing dryers for -40 or -100 PDP.

I'm more sad than disgusted, we probably balance out.

Funnneeee, no, no projecting here, I was extrapolating-people as ignorant as yourself don't have any branches on their family tree, and it shows.

Sure, identify them and move them out before their roots grow. Yes, to your second question if they are not citizens.

You joined the Army in the late 60's? Damn that was ballsy. My dad was career Army and came back from VietNam in 1969 and told my older brother that if he wanted to live he better join the Air Force, which he did.

Go to Costco, it will change you. I saw they had a fist fight in one in Atlanta yesterday.

They had a line for waiting more than 2 hours to get in at the one in Santa Clara, California.

OBTW, there is nothing about you that's balanced, :p.
