He didn't say the world would be safer. But history kind of shows it is in each countries self interest to have nukes vs not having them.

I agree with you. I bet a portion of Jewish people also have an unfavorable view of Israel right now.

But it's not the same as saying those people would agree to a candidate that says they would cut support to Israel or pledge their support for Palestine. It's a spectrum, not either or.

Not completely.

It's also that this data is incomplete and it's a bad idea to draw all your conclusions from it.

For example, in the US, the Jewish voting bloc is very real, substantial, and influential. Compare that to the percentage of nonvoters or even just non political people who have a negative opinion of Israel.

Multiple horror stories is the weakest data set you can come up with.

How many tourists do you think come through the US in a single day? What percentage does "multiple" cases make up?

Yes, it is how its always worked that if you go through immigration and you get flagged for something suspicious you get detained for further questioning. Did you expect the immigration officer to let you through if you failed the initial set of questions like "where will you be staying for the duration of your trip? "

Let me throw this back at you for a sec. How exactly do you are the Trump administration organizing this? Did they suddenly hire a bunch of new immigration officers? Among the hiring and spending freeze and stupid Doge stuff, where did these new officers come from? Do the officers now have some detained quota they need to meet each day? Are all TSA secretly MAGA waiting for the chance to deny tourists?

Sometimes the simplest explanation is right in front of you. The girls were too truthful on their form and that for them flagged and detained. You need to account for where you will be while in the US ( or most countries honestly). Otherwise it is assumed you might do something like try to work and stay long term beyond your visa. When their answers didn't add up they got sent home.

If you don't believe this go ahead and try and travel to any country and tell them you don't have a place to stay yet, don't know when you will leave exactly, but you'll just wing it. See if that flies.

This really doesn't seem like something the administration has a hand in.

When you travel internationally and land the first thing that happens is you fill out a slip go through immigration. The slip asks how long you are staying and where your are staying among other things.

Not accounting for your accommodations for the full duration of your trip will get you flagged for more questions. If the immigration officer things you are going to work during your stay they will deny you because it's illegal on a tourist visa.

What the girls should have done was just say they were staying at the hotel for the whole time (although 5 weeks at a hotel is probably also a red flag)

It helps that when the left are in power things run normally, quietly, boring, so that three same news items can run daily.

With this administration every day is a new law being broken.

Because it's BS. It's glaringly fake and calls into question the rest of the claims of the post.

Housing prices aren't even insane, especially outside of Tokyo. And the property prices don't even go up. AND you can get 35 year housing loans at under 1% interest. The main reason housing prices have gone up at all is that construction materials cost have gone up due to inflation, Ukraine war, covid supply and demand issues.
