The border is a MAGA issue and here are 5 reason which demonstrate why there isn't a bipartisan solution, like the Senate bill already in place which MAGAland refused to bring to the floor.

1. Polarization: Immigration is a highly polarizing issue which embodies biases, lack

MAGA is in love with an image of Trump, that they have created, which is not real and has never existed. He can do or say anything and they will never hold him accountable. They will just say that he didn't say it, didn't mean it, or is playing 4D interdimensional chess.

If your #1 issue is permanent border security and you're voting for Trump, I remind you of two realities:

1. Trump had a Republican House and Senate for 2 years.
2. Trump signed every Pelosi spending bill without securing funding for the wall.

Biden sucking doesn't change this.

Robbery in America is actually at the lowest level in a long long time. Isn’t it funny how social media and the news always makes things seem more extreme than they really are?

Republicans exist solely in a battle posture against those they've come to believe are imminent threats, which includes an ever-expanding portion of humanity.We're now brutalized by a group of people who are fiercely, unrelentingly at war with everything.

Are Republican Primary voters idiots? Yes
Is Ron DeSantis the best politician of my lifetime? Yes
Is MAGA a cancer on the Republican Party? Yes
Is right-wing media partially responsible for the mess we're in? Yes
Is Mike Johnson taking his marching orders from Trump? Yes

I like how MAGA people mock DeSantis for spending $100 Million and losing every county in Iowa

Meanwhile, Trump spent more money on his 2020 Re-election campaign than Obama 2012 & Bush 2004, only to lose to as incumbent to a vegetable

Now, which one is worse?

I guess I’m doing something right. MAGA doesn’t want free speech or any dialogue that includes facts.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

STAGED: Trump's viral Chick-fil-A hug was a staged photo-op with MAGA operative Michaelah Montgomery, a political consultant for the Georgia GOP and city director for Candace Owens's BLEXIT organization.

Corporations say they were forced to raise prices.

But profits increased at a faster rate than costs — and hit a record high in 2023.

News flash: Corporations are using inflation as cover to get rich.

JBS paid a $25 million settlement last year over beef price-fixing.

Tyson has paid ~$220 million in recent years for inflating chicken prices.

Hormel is now getting grilled for illegally overcharging for pork.

When I say price gouging is driving inflation, this is what I mean.

Unemployment has been under 4% for the longest stretch in more than 50 years.

Wages are going up.

Inflation has come down significantly.

My plan is growing the economy from the middle out and the bottom up, and giving the middle class a fair shot.

Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

And fewer competitors means higher prices for you.

Corporate is indeed the issue.

If we have a pulse, we have a chance. Never give up.

So why is team MAGA proposing laws to stop voting of non-citizens?? Oh, outrage machine right.

So this is a fun hour to spend. Never seen the show before, but he took on my favorite MAGA crazy in a measured, thoughtful and reasonably patient way. My takeaways:

1. Ryan Shead gave a masterclass on how liberals should try and understand folk on the other side.
2.
