Thank you, means a lot coming from you. Hope you like this bear meme, Wayne.

It’s like looking at me in the mirror. My truck license plate is DABEAR+.

I guessed the bear connection when first I made your acquaintance! I am sticking my chest out, right about now! LOL

You certainly know the Sicilian translation of my last name.

I'm Catholic and studied Latin for friggin' years!

Ditto for me too.

And I am very glad for our friendship!

Mr. Compactor, thank you for your comment!

Okay, I was trying to be a jerk and you have the nicest way to say F off and you get an upvote for that. but it does seem like a lot of crying on the conservative side. All of the things you mention in the meme seems like stuff people only pretend to care about. do you really have a dog in any of those fights?

John Donne, the Poet Priest said, “No man is an Island, entire of it self; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main.” I am not an oilman. I am a former teacher, a high school band director who went to the dark side and played music my whole life. Since this lockdown, I have had so few gigs. All the money that others got for PPP loans and small business, I got nothing. I had only a couple of gigs last year and none this year. I am not complaining but the men on the pipeline had families... I see their plight.. What cleaner way to transport oil than through a pipe? Those guys are hurting. The gas stations where they bought their fuel & snacks are hurting and many businesses all along the way. Do politicians care? They all have guaranteed salaries, the best insurance there is (no Obummercare for them) and lifelong pensions. Their secretaries and administrators are all part of the Washington DC swamp. They opened the border and 100s of 1000s are coming here. Today 108 that were tested had the Chinese Virus. They are all looking for shelter, food, healthcare, jobs... and where does that leave you... or your new friend, Vince Vance, lifelong entertainer, bandleader and composer. I love all people... well, not the ones in MS-13 and other gangs who want to kill innocent Americans to prove they're tough. We need to think about the people here first, before we let in more. I'm no fuddy duddy. I am a serious artist, a father, a patriot who believes in God and our US Constitution.

okay, that is a well thought out and mostly reasonable argument. I disagree with you about immigrants,'m not afraid of them and I believe they make our country stronger and not weaker. I know there are many facets to that convo, But that is the beauty of being an American, we can disagree about those issues and it's okay.or it used to be. As far as cancelling the pipeline, fossil fuels are bad for the environment. I'm not sure what so hard to understand about climate change. I understand that the people employed by the pipeline will have their jobs replaced in the green energy sector. And I feel your pain, I'm a self employed craftsmen. I've been out of work, did I get any handouts? No. But that's okay though because I've been through hard times before. Hard times are guaranteed. it's not if it's when, and the only thing that matters is how you deal. I love the pic with the Valiatettes! you get multiple upvotes for that!

I am sorry but I'm not really a computer person and I can't get links to work. If you tell me what to look up I will, and I'll get back to you.

A song I wrote called All I Want for Christmas is You in 1988.

as in Mariah Carey?

No, hers is the pop version released in 1993. Mine, is the country hit version written in 1988 and released in 1989 from which some people believe hers was patterned after. https://www.centraltrack.com/how-mariah-carey-stole-christmas/

I really liked it! and your other stuff too.I like your style bro.

Dear Mr. Compactor, I am honored. Glad that you like my stuff. Your friend, VV

No, no, no, and yes.

Glad to see he's not getting special treatment anymore.
:)

Have you seen a doctor about that TDS, buddy? You know it is terminal. Gave you an upvote. You were relatively nice. j/k

Ya I saw Dr Dre he told me to smoke some weed. Biden needs to quit f*ckin around and legalize that. One more executive order for the stack.
;)

Thank you, I agree!

:(

Upvote. Funny!

Unless you're getting r@ped by the dispensary on prices, I'm pretty sure that's physically impossible..

Even top shelf that's like a pound + per day..

Man.. and to think I was planning to vote for him in 2024.
:P

No, we are!

I started watching your suggested video... and realized you obviously don't like the former president. I love Donald Trump and find many aspects of liberalism counter-intuitive to common sense. Why would anyone cancel 11,000 jobs on their first day when there is such high unemployment? Why would anyone invite millions into the U.S. during a pandemic when many of these illegals are gang members, terrorists from other countries may carry disease and looking for work that Americans and those here already when jobs are so scarce. Best of luck to you in the future. -v

COULD BE SOME CREEPY VIRUS :0)

Very Sound Advice, my friend!

Never heard of it and don't know how to get there...

Sadly, I don't know how to easily get their...

I don't do links either.

As a matter of fact, most immigrants (including illegal ones) are law-abiding citizens.

And what do you love about Donald Trump?

They can't be law abiding if they are illegal, and they aren't citizens if they are immigrants... please stop watching CNN.

It is illegal to cross the border without the "proper permits" but it is a misdemeanor

LOOK OUT!!!!! Some one ran a stop sign lol

If you think illegals are so damn evil? Then why did Trump not do anything about forcing American businesses who give them jobs.

What did Trump do about actually restricting the illegals that come from Europe or Asia? No Fence will stop that

Citizens as in people who live in the US. That one's on me. The problem with your logic on the other point is that the only crime they do commit is staying after their visas run out. Immigration in the US is a circular flow. People go in and people go back out. When people stop going in, it means people will stop going out. The people who are there on trips decide 'I can't leave without not being allowed back in, and this is a decent country', so they stay.

Still makes them "illegal"

Right on, amigo!

Still doesn't make them criminals. It just means that they are here illegally. Under 1% of Illegal immigrants commit crimes once they arrive in the US.

Despite its centrality to public and political discourse, we lack even basic information on fundamental questions regarding undocumented immigrants and crime. This stems largely from data constraints.

Well, do as much digging as you want, and see how many articles detail how 70% of Mexicans are rapists

Daniel.... they just don't get it. So many years of folks telling them that their thinking is above every one else. They can't handle simple, common sense. Upvote to you. Deus Vult. (j/k)

I think you know what I mean

According to the department of justice, 59% of the detained illegal immigrants were people who committed serious crimes.

Aren't those just detained ones? As in, detained because they were suspected of crime?

Detained because of caught being in America illegally

Found out because they brought attention to themselves by committing crimes

Just living in the US does not make one a citizen.

It makes one a citizen, but it does not give one citizenship. I can just use the word resident if you want to

There you go, resident is the correct word.

Thank you, for your comment. President Trump seldom if ever did anything politically expedient. He wasn't part of bureaucratic swamp creatures. I can't be bought like the average scum up in DC... like Mitt Romney, Dick Durbin, Nancy Pelosi, Eric Swalwell (screwing Chinese spies), Paul Ryan, etc. These creeps voted themselves lifelong pensions, the best insurance (no Obamacare for those creeps). You ever notice Trump had press conferences (no president had more). He actually took questions from the press. Not senile Biden. I like a fence around my house. Trump likes a fence around our country. When someone comes to my house they knock. I feel immigrants should be checked out before they come into our country. In the midst of Pandemics, MS-13 gang members and leeches wanting you and I to pay them a check just because they sneaked in our country is wrong. Best part is he was pro-business. He cut out bureaucratic bullsh*t that businessmen have to go through. He made this country thrive. Like me he wasn't a hater... like these woke f*cks of the Cancel Culture. My dad taught me "Live and let live." I have nothing against anyone. But I think boys oughta compete with boys and girls, with girls. I could spend months. You sound sincere. I hope that in some way we can maintain a friendship, Sincerely. -v

Somehow, I doubt that a fence/wall around the US would be any good. It would cost a fortune, and wouldn't even do that much

14 year old girls who were raped and murdered by illegal immigrant MS-13 gang members. I say that this is a great reason for border enforcement.

Have you ever wondered how those gang members actually got in, as well as what percentage of illegal immigrants do that kind of stuff? Under 0.5% of illegal immigrants commit crimes, and MS-13 is a gang that originated in Los Angeles

Not completely true. They were illegal immigrants from San Salvador allegedly formed to protect others from their country. Any are too many who do this to our actual legal citizenry.

We all assume that 11 million is the real number of illegal aliens in this country, but is it? No, it's not. In fact, it's a totally fake number which people endlessly repeat either because they are badly informed or dishonest. They've been repeating that number for more than 15 years.

In 2005, the Pew Research Center announced that "the undocumented population has reached nearly 11 million." The weird thing is that 12 years later, Pew had roughly the same estimate. That should have been a tell that the number itself was fraudulent.

The FACT is that those are human beings who need jobs, healthcare and assimilation into our country. Are you willing to give most of your salary to take care of them or do you want others to do it. Will you offer them into your home? And if you would would you like any of the ones who are criminals.

Why do you care so much about Mexico and S America illegals and never address European and Asian illegals

Don't lie. They are not addressed

Consensus estimate bantered around is 11,000,000 illegal immigrants in the US. 11,000,000x.005=55,000. Now do you understand why it matters?

And 1 in 4 Americans have a criminal record. This is why we need an American ban

Other countries don’t let people who have criminal records in. Try going to Canada with a felony in your record.

I don't follow your logic. Because Americans commit crime, there should be no restriction on allowing criminals into the country? That is illogical and certainly not a a move to further protect the residents of the United States.

Bravo, Berry2690! Careful... the lefties hate logic and are relentless. Upvote, my friend.

My logic is that, if American citizens commit more crime than immigrants, then we should ban them
