i'd like to go myself, but i'm stuck here.

the way that liberals think often makes me laugh.

so, you liberals don't like netanyahu. you don't like trump. therefore, netanyahu and trump should get along. right?

no.

donny doesn't like the jews so much, guys. that shouldn't be a hard thing to guess, either.

netanyahu would rather biden win. certainly.
this is really quite the tirade. you don't see politicians much of anywhere letting loose like this. he's actually done this before, too; there's a half dozen examples of ford letting loose on immigrants like this.

the weird thing is that doug ford won immigrant voters in both of the last elections, by a good margin. in fact, it's been widely speculated that ford is premier because he does extremely well with recent immigrants, who like the machismo and the gravitas. people from other parts of the world think it's weird to vote for women, and insane to vote for gay men. that's the actual reason ford does so well with people recently arrived from africa, south america and the middle east, particularly; he looks and sounds like a linebacker. you or i think that makes him come off as a clown; they love that village idiot quality. further, nobody wants to leave those third world conflicts in the third world more than the literal refugees of those conflicts. this soft-left knee jerk might want to re-evaluate the helpfulness of calling the guy a racist, as a dozen refugees sit beside him and nod - they don't want that shit here. at all.

i want to sidestep the observation that this is more than a little bit uncouth coming from anybody in 2024 and rather ask if he may have a point about whether we're screening our migrants effectively. i've asked that question myself, in significantly less inflammatory language.

well. are we screening our refugees effectively, or are people getting into the country that should be barricaded entry when they try to get in? that's a valid question, and what he's actually trying to articulate.

the ford family is a very strange phenomenon. everybody in every corner of this country would grimace at this outburst. it will not cost him votes; he will carry immigrants by a huge margin, yet again.
