The loud mouthed fool couldn’t even shout over him like he likes to do, he was in a schooling…
Stephen A. Smith PRESSES Abdul El-Sayed on Abolishing ICE — Then Gets a Firm Answer on Open Borders
Stephen A. Smith: You’ve said the only way forward is to abolish ICE and start from scratch. What does that mean?
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: Let me be clear: I believe we ought to have a safe, secure southern border.
I believe you ought to enforce immigration law, but not through masked men with AR-15s acting against the Constitution.
ICE didn’t exist before this century. It’s not part of the Constitution. ICE is not about immigration. It’s about making a show of immigration and normalising paramilitary force on our streets.
I believe we need to undo it and build a system that enforces immigration law while respecting the Constitution.
Stephen A. Smith: Is there any condition under which you think open borders are acceptable?
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: No. You have to have borders that you can control. There’s no question about that.
People think ICE is about border enforcement, but it’s not. Customs and Border Protection enforces the border. ICE handles immigration enforcement inside the country.
I went to Minneapolis during the height of Project Metro Surge.
Some of the things I saw, I never thought I would see in the United States of America. We can’t allow that to continue.

As sharp as a Valyrian sword… he had them eating from his palm…
I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

How refreshing to have a Democrat who’s a bit of a dick… those conservative bullies needed someone who would stand up to their nonsense 👌🏾💪🏾

If ever you need to see the face of incompetence 🤬
Before the FA Cup final win against Man City, Ten Hag was under major pressure and Jason Wilcox and others involved put forward several candidates as possible replacements.
One person Wilcox spoke highly of was Russell Martin, whom he had appointed the previous summer in his role as Southampton’s director of football.

You’d think common sense would prevail for those Americans, but no, to them what’s more important is that the guy is named Abdul…
El-Sayed: "How expensive is having kids? ... The party that wants to tell me that they're pronatalist, their solution is: let's cut taxes for the billionaires, and let's go to wars we have no business fighting... do not be surprised when people don't have kids."

Surely the MAGA cult would be embarrassed if they weren’t in a cult…
Trump: I'm the only president to pass. I passed 3 cognitive tests. And they're hard. They have a lion, a bear, a snake, and a camel. They say, which one is the snake? It's a very powerful test, very highly respected test, very well known test, 30 questions, very hard. I passed it all 3 times. I aced it

When America had someone who could construct a coherent sentence, speak some sense on the podium… Not the shitshow that Americans and the whole world are now subjected to…
We’re one week away from Election Day.
Ohio, @SherrodBrown and @AmyActonOH are ready to bring about the change we need right now.
So don’t wait – vote early or make a plan to vote on November 3rd. IWillVote.com/OH

Absolute truth… America is under the rule of a cohort of idiots
Abdul El-Sayed: “We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”

Couldn’t have said it any better… We have clueless people running the club 🤬
‘Michael Carrick will be given time to turn things around’ and ‘the hierarchy do not want to rush next steps’ should be read and digested for what it really is: an indecisive club without any succession planning or contingencies because it doesn’t have clarity of identity in the first place. A club that often takes the cheap instead of the smart or right route because of the crippling Glazer debt, plus decision-makers who are never aligned - except in their own self-preservation. And it ends up costing more.
It explains the chaotic nature of lurching from one coaching philosophy to its extreme, to revisiting candidates that were on the agenda - some as far back as 2019 - that were already ruled out, to having a shortlist of options with nothing in common to take over a mishmash team that has suffered from horrid squad planning; both in incomings and exits.
Blame the players, blame the name in the dugout while the people who brought them to Manchester United, kept them, created the absolute opposite of a culture of excellence are allowed to rinse and repeat.
