  1. Time will tell but, I do not believe he is concerned at all. I think that is one of two things he is concerned with. Money and ego. I think both are going to be heavily bruised at the end of this.
  2. I do not understand what you mean in paragraph two. In reference to the first, yes my heart has changed. The world has changed, my country has changed so naturally, my heart has changed. I was optimistic about a different set of values in the '80s. I was much more trusting then. Most crime indices are now half of what they were in the late 80s including murder, violent crimes, theft. Your decreased trust appears to be misguided.
  3. Oh but it is when managed properly and you refuse to give up just because of a setback. He kept going and now he is the POTUS. So basically he is just as accomplished as Obama but added grabbing pussy and staying quite through the Apostle's Creed. As a christian that must be so rewarding for you. I can understand your unwavering support.
  4. [email] Point was easily debunked. Dow performs better under Democrat presidents than Republican presidents for the last 6 presidents at least. Should also note that since Trump's tax plan went into effect the DOW is down 2,000 points or over -7%. Republicans are bad for economic performance and generally bad for stock returns. And once again you miss the point. If you only look at the numbers in the drop it looks bad. When you consider the % of the drop not so much. My point is that it seems to be OK when considering gun violence in Chiraq... Look up, already showed you that % increase in the dow under Clinton and Obama beats % increase in dow under Trump, Bush, Bush and Reagan. Again, DOW percentage increases more under D president than R president for the last 6.

  6. Maybe if they elected someone to their highest office who claims it's a hoax then the glaciers would stop melting. I thought you just had to rake the leaves.
  7. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen. There is one party very loudly complaining about voter fraud and using that "noise" to hide electoral fraud. Funny how the prominent GOP officials who have complained about supposed voting issues, such as Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.), House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (Wis.) and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, have gone silent about the investigation in North Carolina. President Trump, who has made unsupported conspiracy theories and unfounded claims about fraudulent votes a hallmark of his presidency, also has said nothing about the vote fraud issue in NC. Agreed. Which is why all of a sudden comments like "both sides do it" are counter-productive. North Carolina isn't voter fraud, it is electoral fraud.. Like I said, the Republican party uses the fear of (illegal) people voting illegally to hide the electoral fraud they are committing.

  9. That is a month old opinion piece.
  10. Just to be clear, calling a poster's "source" delusional is a personal attack on that poster?
  11. Like Kallend when referring to Chiraq gun violence, it's all in the percentages. Fully agreed. Growth in Dow Jones: Obama 148.3% Trump 26% Clinton and Obama both beat: Reagan George HW Bush George W Bush So if you want better economic performance, the last 6 US presidencies would suggest that voting Democrat is the better choice.
  12. Iago said: they just need to follow process I asked: what is the process He said: no idea You said: him not knowing the process doesn't mean he doesn't care. --------------- When you see a problem and your reaction is: they just need to follow process. When you are then questioned what that process is and you answer: no idea. Then you simply don't care about the problem. You started at the mid-point of that conversation. I pointed you to the start of the conversation for context. You refused and argued again. I will indeed then once again point to the start of the conversation for context.
  13. You said to Iago: I think expecting someone who has no need to go through a process to understand the details of it is an unfair expectation. Saying immigrants 'should go through the process' is (IMO) a fair basic comment if someone doesn't understand the problem associated with it. A 'fair' reply should have been the discussion of WHY the process isn't applicable or doesn't work rather than simply deriding him for not knowing that from the start. A: 'They should go through the process' B: 'Ideally yes, but it doesn't work because X, Y & Z' is a more reasonable discussion than A: 'They should go through the process' B: 'You're stupid and probably racist for not knowing that they can't!' No. I asked: And what exactly is that process for non-wealthy brown people? I guess expecting you to read the first question is unfair too.....
  14. Not true. Speaking as someone who's done it legally. It cost me about 8 years and just under $10k. the paperwork wasn't actually that complicated and I could have done it myself but chose to go through a lawyer. The total government fees probably aren't more than about $4k for various visas, green cards and finally citizenship. You DO have to prove that you're not a financial burden though. Immigration was much more interested in what my sponsor (in my case my wife) was earning rather than me, which I thought was interesting. I asked for the process of non-wealthy people. You then posted about the process for people with sponsors in country willing to support, telling me how unfair I am.
  15. It will be interesting to see if part of the charges against Manafort lying to Congress are based on Trump's written answers. If that is the case, Manafort in his defense will have to argue that Trump is lying.
  16. But if you close the border and don't give them access to a point of entry, how exactly are they supposed to do that?
  17. Except you have no clue how to get the stamp or if there is a different level of difficulty for people to get this stamp. It's the mental version of sticking your fingers in your ear and screaming lalalalalalalalalalalala
  18. so your suggestion is that they follow the process, without knowing if there is a process, or if it is in any way a viable process. Basically your answer is: I don't care as long as brown people don't get into the country. We already know through your unfailing support of Trump, that you have absolutely no problem with the illegal immigration of white women willing to show their tits.
  19. And what exactly is that process for non-wealthy brown people?
  20. I'm not saying it is bad. I'm saying this is what is going to happen. 1- quick process claim. Get hearing date many months down the road. 2- ok, have a nice time in the US. See you at the hearing. 3- 4- fast forward nine months 5- anchors away! Plop! (Much cooing and cuddling with the brand new citizen in the family) 6- fast forward to the hearing 7- sorry, your claim has been denied. Pack your things please, you have to go back hope you enjoyed your stay. 8- BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN! THEY CANT BE SENT BACK! Aaaaaaaa right back where we are now. . Up to you if you're OK with that. I'm not particularly fond of the idea. People going to the US and fucking is exactly how the US grew historically. How is that now a bad thing? Employment at a historic low. massive spending on your prized guns and military equipment. Supposedly a great country, the best in the world. Why are you now so against what got you to where you are?
  21. Apparently polarization is a natural outcome, even when everybody acts in good faith. https://www.acsh.org/news/2018/11/28/polarization-society-even-scientists-become-tribal-13628
  22. Cohen admits he was working on Trump Moscow till August 2017 Trump tweeted in January 2017 he had no business dealings in Russia. Maybe the President of the United States didn't know Moscow is in Russia?
  23. Oh please! Don't laugh; My friend Harvey the rabbit has confirmed this. Plus I'll add that the super special ops warrior who has the same ultra secret OPSEC decoder ring I have just texted me one letter: Q.
