I don't think there are semantics in math. Paying 2 is an 80% decrease from paying 10.

Yes. But 10 divided by 500% also equals 2. Put it in your calculator. So there is a 400 percent decrease when you pay 2 vs 10.

If the price of eggs was 2 and is now 10 how would it be described in terms of price increase? Not just eggs. If a stock was $20 and grew to $100 that’s an increase of 400%.

Not how I would personally describe egg prices. But talking in percentages vs actual numbers are things some people like to do.

Yes, of course. Phoenix has been thriving with illegals for decades. Lol. We didn't need to deport moms and leave their kids behind. We just need help with dangerous people.

Lol. How the hell do illegals make a place “thrive”? Multiple Mexican restaurants? Tax evasion? Crime? More drugs? Placing a burden on the education system for real American kids? Stealing tax payer funded resources? Drive up insurance rates? Maybe undocumented slave labor is your version of thriving.

So you know for a fact the people they’re going after in California are good people? Did CNN tell you so?

Yes, we know for a fact they are going for everybody that they can. IDK what CNN has to say about it.

Finding the bad guys is hard work. It's exactly why you might argue local LEO's need help from ICE. But turns out ICE is militarizing major American cities so they can grab anybody they possibly can, no focus whatsoever on the real criminals. People who work and keep court dates are the low hanging fruit, and that's who they're going for.

He is more concerned with the NG being on the streets than why they are there in first place. Implies they are there to round up illegals, which is not the case.

Auburn basketball coach accuses Carville of spreading ‘hatred’ with statements about Jewish donors​


Auburn men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl sharply criticized Democratic strategist James Carville on Friday over his recent statements about wealthy Jewish donors who have left the Democratic Party.

During an appearance on Fox News Channel, the accomplished coach and outspoken Israel advocate ripped Carville for saying earlier this week that wealthy Jewish people were not leaving the Democratic Party because of antisemitism, but rather because they just want a “f—— tax cut” from the Republicans.

“When you say that wealthy Jews don’t want to pay their taxes, that just commits to the Jew hatred and the things that are out there,” Pearl told anchor Bill Hemmer on “America’s Newsroom,” after shaking his head when the show played Carville’s remarks.

Carville made the comments during the Wednesday episode of his “Politics War Room” podcast, bashing Jewish donors who decided to stop giving to Democratic politicians and instead donate to President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign after seeing the rash of antisemitism that has sprung up on college campuses and that some Democratic luminaries have supported.

No dem luminaries supported antisemitism. Many supported free speech and criticism of Israel in Gaza. Huge difference between that and antisemitism.

I don't mind pointing out that Dems lost Jewish support. They lost my support. But let's get the reasons right.

Phoenix has been thriving despite illegal immigrants and the legal immigration of liberals for decades. The liberals are almost as big a problem as the illegals.

Yes. And if Trump is looking at the highest egg prices ever at some point either under Biden or maybe it was earlier this year not long after he took office and compares it to the lowest egg price he can find now, that's probably where he's getting the "eggs have come down 400%."

To know if that's true you'd have to see the actual numbers he's using. But I'd guess he's probably using the percentage change from a lowest cost because it sounds more substantial. Starting from a point that while true makes it look different. Something that may fall under lies, damn lies, and statistics perhaps.

What if I get my eggs from my own chickens? They’re practically free. Should Trump say eggs are now free?

That might make sense if I were hoarding billions of eggs in my house. Or better yet, having an off shore egg bank where I can hide the eggs so the government doesn’t know I have them.

I'd say he's lying. Maybe less monetary cost but more work and other effects. My neighbors kept chickens. You hear them constantly and their backyard smelled like $hit. Could smell it from my backyard.

Mexican restaurants, cartel money laundering. Always opening new ones and never closing during tough times.

This is the America that I know. Not this Empire loyalist BS

"However things turn out, it's important to emphasize that the anti-ICE protests and resulting confrontations are in large part a result of federal immigration enforcers' own lawless behavior. Under Trump, ICE has routinely engaged in such illegal and arbitrary practices as deporting people (including many legal immigrants) to imprisonment without due process and kidnapping children as they and their families show up for legally required court appointments. More generally, this administration has repeatedly invoked bogus emergencies to circumvent constitutional and other legal constraints on executive power, and such abuses have been particularly severe in the field of immigration.

When law enforcement agencies themselves engage in systematic lawlessness, they are not entitled to the deference and cooperation they might otherwise expect from civilians. The latter have a right to resist in ways that would otherwise be illegal and unjustified. This point is distinct from traditional rationales for civil disobedience that may apply even in situations where government officials are acting completely legally, but the underlying laws are themselves severely unjust (as is also often true in the immigration field). There is additional justification for civilian resistance to and noncooperation with law enforcement, when it is the latter who are acting unlawfully."
