>"Open Borders"...we are a nation of Laws...including Immigration and Border Security Laws. The Biden administration, together with Republican Senators who also care about creating just and effective laws, negotiated a Bill that addressed all of those outstanding issues...but Trump killed it, and has done nothing to address them with enduring legislation that funds those needed changes. It's all "Executive Order" chaos right now...btw, I'll be glad to dig as deep as you want on this issue, so don't hesitate to challenge me.

>"Peace Everywhere"...Israel was created in the context of a 'Two State' Solution...to not recognize the inherent rights of Palestinians virtually guarantees violence forever, and that is what Trump's support for Bibi's Zionism does. Then there's DJT's siding with Putin against Ukraine...Trump won't even Sanction Russia, much less read the riot act to him as Ronald Reagan surely would have done...thought you cared about your relatives. Blowing any wind beneath Trump's wings won't bring peace there.

>"Lower Taxes and Regulations"...Trump supports lower taxes, but only for those who don't need it as witnessed by his first term tax breaks for corporations and the wealthiest Americans that not only expanded a frustrating wealth gap, but piled on more national debt for our kids and grandkids. Then there are his Tariffs that "Tax" all Americans, especially the Lower and Middle income individuals and businesses. As for Regulations, Democrats have shown a willingness to negotiate reductions, and I've shown examples at a big city level with Sam Liccardo representing San Jose and the Bay Area.

>"Enforcing Criminal Laws and Punishments"...maybe you missed it, but the DOJ under Biden indicted and convicted Sen. Menendez (D) for Bribery and Influence peddling, while Trump's DOJ is shutting down investigations where the FBI has tapes of government officials taking bribes (Homan), along with other crimes by MAGA officials. America already has perhaps the highest per capita incarceration rate among democracies...we need more effort applied to fixing the root causes of crime...good topic for another thread.

>"No Biological Males in Women's Sports"...aside from being a minuscule issue, it's a developing one. Those affected by Gender Dysphoria didn't ask for it, and with the excessive rate of suicides among them, they definitely need care...and love...not hate and abuse. I've given my opinion more than once when it comes to sports...I agree with Donna DeVerona that once puberty occurs, it's game over for 'males' participating in women's sports. btw, Democrats are doing their best to get GD sufferers the help they need...Republicans...not so much.

>"Reduced Government Spending in Education"...given that most school districts are funded by local taxes, and they accept ALL students, it is essential for government to "Level the Playing Field" when it comes to education. People are People and to let poor neighborhoods languish with low funding wastes the development of too many talented kids...and those with learning disabilities that Charter Schools seem to find ways of not serving.

>"Common Sense Behind All Government Policies"...does mindlessly firing critical government employees (e.g. Nuclear Weapons Monitors...CDC Disease Specialists...etc, etc.) make "Common Sense" to you?...WAKE UP and see the stupidity in Donald Trump's handling of government. There are many policies to debate...feel free to focus on the ones that get your attention the most and we can all discuss them...Hopefully, with evidence and adult behavior that seeks only the truth.
