Oh Joe

I appreciate your nuanced view, but there are millions of people in the US who came in legally with a Visa but didn’t leave when they should have. Millions who did not have a criminal record and were “checked out” as a Visa was authorized.

They took advantage of us and stayed. Musk would have been required to leave within a couple months after withdrawing from school. He took advantage of us and stayed.

It’s obviously not a big deal, but the small quip does show a little hypocrisy in a time when people are talking about mass deportation but not defining who they would deport.

And as I have said here several times, I think Trump would be better for controlling the border than Harris but I don’t like his anti immigrant rhetoric (poisoning the blood of our country, etc) and I believe people who have been here for years if not decades at this point, who have lived normal lives, and not committed any crime should be given a path to citizenship.
I agree with you about people who are living here and raising their families being given a path to citizenship. There are lots of really good people living amongst us that should not be forced to live in the shadows. I also agree Trump goes to far with the rhetoric but unlike you I believe he probably feels the same way about the good people living amongst us getting citizenship. Obama had his chance to do this when Dems had control of house and senate but never acted. I would love to see Trump create a path for citizenship for good people at the same as removing the bad. I’m a born optimist but you never know. I also think people coming in on student visa’s who are checked is a lot better than people coming in unchecked.

Any Garden State residents go vote early today

maybe some polling places are madhouses and don't work with peoples schedules?

what is the real aversion to making voting over a few days?

Exactly. Make it easy and accessible. In some locations it gets really busy on Election Day. Early voting decreases the volume on the day of the election and gives more opportunity for people who can’t get off work or whatever else they may have going on.

Oh Joe

He cheated the system. He was not here legally because he was on a student visa and he did not enroll in school. He knew he was breaking the law but didn’t care.

Not a huge deal, just shining a light on some hypocrisy.
He gamed the system the same way billionaires game the tax system and people game the healthcare system, and every system we have. It's time to admit our systems suck. Trump played the tax system. Let's not pretend he's the only one. Musk played the immigration system. Let's not pretend he's the only one. He came here legally, just not doing what he was supposed to be doing, and nobody checking on him. How do we let people in on the honor system? Insane. Student visa without being signed up for school and we allow it. How? You're insane to point a finger at Musk while not pointing a thumb right back at ourselves for our own negligence. Can anyone just sign up for a student visa and not go to school? Sure sounds like it. These immigrants coming in today play the system, how many are checked on before their court date. None. If the systems are this bad we have to stop putting full blame on the people who play them and add a lot of blame to those who set them up or those who refuse to adjust them. It's borderline criminal to let them off the hook. Trump's first presidency they fought him on everything he wanted to do. Talk about hypocrisy, imagine if democrats weren't calling borders racist 8 years ago we could've all worked together. Issue might be 25 or 50 percent less today. Funny how Kamala is advocating for something she once called un-American, yet her values haven't changed.

Pirates clinch spot in BIG EAST Championship Playoffs, Secure first 10-win season since 2005

CINCINNATI, OH.
– A penalty kick conversion from Til Kauschke proved to be the difference in Seton Hall's men soccer team's 1-0 victory over Xavier in Cincinnati. With the victory, the Pirates secured a spot in the BIG EAST Championship Playoffs and their first 10-win regular season since 2005.

The Pirates came out of the gate in this road matchup searching for a goal, nearly finding one in the sixth minute. The Pirates were offered a chance at redemption in the 39th minute when a handball in the box served the Pirates an opportunity to take the lead on a penalty kick.

HOW IT HAPPENED
The Pirates put pressure on Xavier early in the game with a strong offensive press.

However, the Musketeers headed the ball off on the goal line, quashing a strong Pirates chance.

SHU vs Maryland - Scrimmage

I was told not everyone played. No idea who sat or if that’s even accurate.

53 points is a little concerning given the biggest question coming into this season is how is this team going to score?

Part of me says ehhh it’s a scrimmage don’t put too much thought into it. But the other part of me says the offense might be as poor as expected.
