I support Sarah
19/11/2024
Sarah is allowed to have an opinion. I don’t like Gaetz either but her reasoning is consistent.
Sarah needs an ego check
30/12/2024
Sarah’s desire to jump to conclusions or to whatever stance she feels is correct (usually from smugness rather than her intelligence, and she clearly is intelligent) is disappointing. I am a Democrat and lean pretty left, but contemplate issues with reason rather than pure emotive ideology- especially legal issues I don’t know enough about- and had found this show educational and interesting. Recently I’m not so sure how much I can trust Sarah’s opinions, and now David’s- since he seems to bend to her will rather than challenge her more often than not. Sarah should show more humble contemplation since her ego seems to take over any reason she has left. Any one have another show to recommend?
Please revisit your Invasion debate
06/12/2024
I adore this show and find the intelligent analysis refreshing. But the idea that drug smuggling from undocumented migrants in Mexico could constitute an invasion would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous. The “ultimate geographic source of the fentanyl crisis” has been declared as China, according to Congress’ Select Committee on the CCP. A vast majority of the trafficked drug comes through legal ports of entry (see Customs and Border Patrol Statistics for the proportion of seizures reported between Office of Field Operations [ports] and Border Patrol [border]). And fiscal year 2022, 84% of offenders were *American citizens* (United States Sentencing Commission). So the premise of “illegal migrants are the cause of fentanyl trafficking” is in itself flawed, and the implications of a resulting declaration of “invasion by undocumented migrants who are swimming across the river” is woefully misplaced, to potentially chilling consequences. I was shocked David could not convince Sarah of this. If drug smuggling is an invasion, then we should expect Greg Abbott to next declare war on China and American frat boys coming back from spring break.
ACCOUNTABILITY ?
03/12/2024
You fully expect Biden to be accountable but the same is never expected of Trump !!! Why is that ?? I don’t understand it happens repeatedly Sara calls Biden a liar and a hypocrite. Does she not see Trump the same. If so make it clear. I believe he changed his mind as he saw the way Trump is sweeping into office while ignoring several rules again about how it should be done legally but it’s Trump so that’s OK ??
