Scared yet?

Former President Donald Trump and his allies are preparing for an aggressive expansion of his powers should he take back the White House.

That includes more power to crack down on immigration and overhaul the Justice Department to punish opponents.

Trump mocked fears about his authoritarianism tendencies at a Fox News town hall on Tuesday, stating he'd be a dictator only on "Day 1" so that he could close the border and start drilling.

which is similar to what biden did on day 1, except he opened the border and shut down drilling. trump triggers people like you and the news media effortlessly. it's amazing how you guys fall for it every time.

@boudinMan No, idiot, it's not. Trump is talking about restructuring the government.

@LordShadowfire if individuals from any other country are coming into this country unvetted for any reason, our borders are open.
boudinMan · 61-69, M
@LordShadowfire arrested and then set free. stop being stupid.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@boudinMan I'm not the one being fucking stupid. If we had open borders, nobody would be arrested for coming in, there would be no border patrol drowning children in the Rio Grande, and nobody would be in the process of building a wall. Stop lying for once in your pathetic life.
boudinMan · 61-69, M
@LordShadowfire you got a link or maybe some video of border patrols drowning children, pancho?

@LordShadowfire amazing, i read that first article and you know, i didn't see anything about a patrol drowning a child. somehow i don't think i need to read the rest of those articles.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@boudinMan So, you're dismissing the rest of the articles because the first one didn't appear to contain what I thought it did. You know what we call that?
boudinMan · 61-69, M
@LordShadowfire i couldn't care less what you call it. i have now read 2 articles... the third required a subscription, which i ain't getting. the idea that border patrol agents are drowning illegal aliens is not only absurd, it's 100% false. only a complete imbecile like yourself would believe and propagate such lies.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@boudinMan Well, here's a screenshot from the article in the Houston Chronicle.
While we're at it, shithead, here's some more articles.

@LordShadowfire first of all, you are obviously unfamiliar with the word 'allegations'. libs have always struggled with that. just so you know, an allegation is not proof of anything. secondly, there were no allegations of any border patrol agent drowning anyone. so, you're about as wrong as any human could possibly be. maybe you can concoct some other wild story to make yourself feel better.

@boudinMan
first of all, you are obviously unfamiliar with the word 'allegations'.
I'm familiar with it. There's allegations against Donald Trump from people who have evidence, and allegations against Joe Biden from people who have none. These allegations are from a former border patrol officer who said he got disgusted with what he was seeing and blew the whistle.

secondly, there were no allegations of any border patrol agent drowning anyone.
You're right. I'm sure those little kids they pushed back in the water swam away and lived happily ever after in Mexico. 🙄

maybe you can concoct some other wild story to make yourself feel better.
That's what you losers like to do.
boudinMan · 61-69, M
@LordShadowfire LOL. you just proved my point and i bet you have no idea how you did it. let me enlighten you.

you claim to know what an allegation is but then you prove that you don't by saying:

You're right. I'm sure those little kids they pushed back in the water swam away and lived happily ever after in Mexico. 🙄

which assumes the patrol officer did in fact push kids back. the articles and the video that i saw both used the word 'allegedly'. you take it as fact.

and even if a patrol officer offered resistance in letting someone cross illegally, that isn't the same as he or she actively drowning them. again, you're confused about the meaning of words. i suggest you use a dictionary next time.

@LordShadowfire it should be noted that allegations do not imply guilt, in our society you are innocent until guilt is proven in a court of law not a court of public opinion.

No, and neither does anybody else, but I'm sure you're going to tell us.

Wrong again, dickhead. What I'm saying is I believe the allegations made by the former border patrol officer, who was literally there and saw the whole thing. Because what fucking reason would a border patrol officer have to lie about something like that, knowing it would cost him his job?
and even if a patrol officer offered resistance in letting someone cross illegally, that isn't the same as he or she actively drowning them.
Again, you're right, I'm sure the little kids they pushed back into the water swam back to Mexico and lived happily ever after. Because it's not like they would have been exhausted or anything.

@LordShadowfire

No, and neither does anybody else, but I'm sure you're going to tell us.

i already did. geez, dude... go take a nap or something. you're fatigued.

just because you or anyone else believes an allegation doesn't prove diddly squat. if the border patrol agent drowned someone, why hasn't he or she been charged with murder?
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@needsmilk808

Actually, allegations do imply guilt, but what you meant to say is that they don't prove guilt. At least not in a court of law. The fact that this is a border patrol person blowing the whistle on this behavior is enough to convince me. Because again, why would he lie, knowing that he will lose his job? That's stupid. You're now calling the whistleblower stupid.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@boudinMan

Because it's Texas. Because they are doing what they are ordered to do. Shove exhausted people back into the water so that they drown. But I'm done trying to discuss this with a person who isn't even smart enough to find the shift key on his keyboard.

@LordShadowfire do you mean whistleblowers like these guys?

@LordShadowfire and biden's DOJ is doing what it is ordered to do as well... raiding a former president's residence and going after his (biden's) political enemies. you know, like they do in a banana republic.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@boudinMan I should have known you'd resort to that tactic.
