Mike Rowe Drops Some Truth Bombs Related: The Idiot Vote: The Democrats' Core Constituency It's a relatively short book that is worth the $3.95 it costs on Kindle, putting a historical perspective on the effects of widening the franchise. I don't agree with all of the conclusions, but in general the thesis has merit, I think. I also found this map on GAB, but there was no attribution as to the sources used to create it, so I do not vouch for its accuracy (I can't make out the “source” text at the bottom).
Speaking of GAB, you can still sign up here, I know a lot of other Morons have already joined. It's a bit alt-right heavy at the moment, but I bet that will change as they open it up to more people.
Hanging Chads How the media nearly stole the 2000 election for Al Gore This article makes a convincing argument that all of the Buchannan voters combined in Palm Beach County wouldn't have mattered if the media hadn't relentlessly pushed the meme that the polls were closed-even though those in the heavily Republican Panhandle weren't.

An opinion piece from the New York Times surprisingly acknowledges the emotional fragility of modern students and their need for validation. Unsurprisingly, this is used as an excuse to condemn teaching children self-discipline, self-reliance, and a stoic ability to endure.

And now I want a sandwich
Or so my body thinks
I had some thoughts while reading
But they were dull and mild
Like I wonder what ice cream cones
Looked like back in the wild
Then I composed this drivel,
Struggled to make it rhyme
While so many comments were posted
in the meantime.

Since Libertarian and National Review plankholder Reed wrote that essay in 1958, after almost 60 years of ever freer trade, has the nation economically improved relative to other countries? Has the worker's position improved relative to workers in other countries and relative to a 1958 worker's basis?

The problem is, the US has been negotiating for itself worse and worse positions, both by bad trade deals and by burdening itself with increasingly insane regulations of all conceivable types.

It does not have a free market and hasn't for a long time, and is significantly less free every day. We're headed towards a system where the government chooses winners and losers in industry, their chosen winners support the politicians who protect them from competition. By this, the government exercises de-facto control over all industry.
There's a name for a system where the government controls industry, and where there's still technically private ownership, but only for an approved class of insiders. Fascism.
Fascism was very popular in the economics schools of the late twenties and early thirties when Mussolini was popularizing the concept, with the US Ambassador to Italy even remarking that he'd be remembered as one of history's great men. It never went away, it just hid itself behind other labels.

is there anywhere in Tejas with the following criteria:
Decent housing (schools are not an issue) large lots preferred (10-12K minimum, moar is bettah)
Low incidence of FSA/BLM/LaRaza type population (racialy diverse is fine)
humidity that isn't ridiculous, at least most of the time
no HOA
not a million klicks out in the sticks.
we had a line on a place in Sugar Land, and, even though the lot was smaller than what we have here in #Failifornia, and the pool smaller than ours, we were toying with the idea of a 2nd home/ refuge, until we saw it was in an HOA.
if we can escape the nanny state, "this is how you live your life" shit here, we sure as hello are uninterested in buying into moar of the same from some local, unelected, fascists. (yes, HOAs have elections, but you know what i mean)

931 Jamie Lee Curtis was born a hermaphrodite. This is true. She will not confirm or deny it. Her children are adopted.
I'd think this myself, but a good friend from my Freshman year at college randomly told me this over 20 years ago. Her on was one of the nurses in the know.
I believe her. She had no reason to lie. Jamie Lee Curtis is a shemale.

If you can take all of those with the tradeoff of living in a college town, College Station / Bryan might be for you. There are HOA's in some areas, but not in others. Most of the population is middle class or working class, and there doesn't seem to be a large FSA contingent.
Thanks to the constant churn of students, you can always find *a* job, even if it's just at the Dairy Queen slinging burgers.

All her children are adopted, which is consistent with intersex (just about all of them are sterile). The name "Jamie Lee" is somewhat androgynous and the claim is that Tony and Janet didn't know what to name her until they and the doctors had decided which way to go (this decision can be a difficult one).
But it's all rumor. No one but her and those involved with her birth know for sure.

The next time someone wheel's out this canard, remember that tariffs do not mean the end to trade. Throughout the history of America, there has been trade. It is only recently that it has been a goal to make the trade "free".
Related question: Why are all free trade agreements thicker than a phone book? Answer: the agreements are full of special exceptions.

Yep. A real free trade agreement could be written in one paragraph and leave the rest of the page blank for signatures. "I won't tax or regulate your shit and you won't tax or regulate mine." That has never happened in all of human history, and never will.
Instead we get these pieces of legislative bloatware that are designed to increase political power for all of the signatories, with special benefits and carve-outs for their biggest financial backers.

grill to cook, and it didn't go 5 minutes, and ran out of propane. Time
to switch the sumbitch over to natural gas, I guess. So tenderloin is
skillet on stove, sauteeing. Or something.
Did I ever tell you about the time I wound up running the grill for a whole party of Albertans? It was a cut down 55 gallon drum, fueled by charcoal. I volunteered when I heard one of them ask another where the ignite switch was.
"Uh, guys? I got this. Really."
Then they wanted to know why it would take 1/2 an hour before we would be ready to cook!

That's exactly it. I've explained it before and it usually gets pretty long, but their belief system comes from a central paradox, the belief that where human events is concerned, there is no objective truth. If there's no objective truth, no idea or course of action is any better than any other, and success or failure is completely random. Communism must work somewhere, at least once, according to that.
Except that's not what happens at all. Reality refuses to go along with their madness, and our philosophy, which is predicated on the fact that there are eternal truths that can be learned, continues to succeed. Anything that succeeds more than random chance is impossible to their warped worldview, so they can only come to one conclusion, that's we're cheating. Imagine seeing somebody win 1000 times in a row at the roulette wheel. They think we're stealing everybody else's chances to succeed, thus the cult of victimology...
When you reject truth, all you have left are lies and madness.

We did the switch about a dozen years ago,maneuver looked back.
Pros: Never run out of fuel (assuming no insurrection or SMOD)
Cons: Initial expense. NG doesn't burn as hot as propane, so requires getting used to. Have to buy a grill specifically set up for NG,!or one that can be converted to it (we bought a CharBroil, NG kit was ~$50).

>> a bunch of sterile children?
If that's not a joke about ambiguous antecedents or whatever you call it, most (I think all, but there may be a few cases) intersex conditions result in sterility -- the individual is incapable of reproducing as either female or male.
Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, was another famous one rumored to be intersex, in her case complete androgen insensitivity syndrome.
When a person has children, and it's usually a woman, since there's no question (unless they faked a birth or something), that's proof they are not intersex.

Here is a bargain on the edge of Austin, it's unincorporated so taxes are lower. I don't believe there's an HOA cause people do pretty much what ever they want on the street. It's a great part of town, I live close by. I want this place but it's a bit over our budget plus my husband loves our current house we built 6 years ago. It has a pool, guest house, horse barn, garden, pool, 2+ acres etc. all under $800k in a VERY desirable area of town. We have the only republican city councilman in Austin. It's not as lefty as most of the city. Close to everything, but not too close.

Intersex is a failure of the sex differentiation process which starts at some point during fetal gestation. There are many, many ways it can get screwed up, and they all (that I know of, again there may be some very rare special cases) result in sterility.

Regarding HOA's: yeah, spawn of the Devil. But my rule of thumb is, if the house that interests you is on an older, grid-plan street, then there is probably no HOA. If it is one of the newer subdivisions, with confusing, similar street names, and curved streets that intersect at weird angles, then there probably is an HOA.

Juan Williams is living proof that even life-changing events will not alter a liberal's psyche.
I have expended considerable effort presenting inarguable facts and evidence before such people, and they inevitably fall back on, "Well, everyone has their own opinion".
When I point that I have just presented facts and data rather than opinion, and invite countervailing facts and data they generally use the evergreen "Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree". Lately, I've been refusing to accept that and point out that it is evasive, and no, I will not agree to anything because to do so would imply that their perspective has some merit.

And for RecC.... congrats on the Russian Colt in hand. Pics, happen/didn't, etc. You know the rules.
Further. While College Station is a good enough town, especially of the Collegiate variety, it's only one of many that'd qualify.
And the Austin stuff.....sorry, but I'd recommend against, not because it's not a good tip, but because Austin will keep growing, and those "out of town far enough" places, 1/2 hr. out, will be subsumed by the city proper within a decade or so.
For the best of Texas life and culture, conservative locales, good land prices and as good weather, I'd suggest looking into:
* Kerrville
* Fredricksburg
* Copperas Cove
And if you want slightly smaller towns, stunning, beautiful vistas, and still be but an hour from Austin or San Antonio, perhaps:
* Marble Falls
* Blanco
* Burnet
Do your search engine quests on them all. I think you'll find something to suit your vibe with one of those, there.

Posted by: L, Elle at September 01, 2016 12:01 AM (6IPEM)
Think of the various distortion pedals that they sell for guitars. I just looked it up as a refresher. The 3 pedals are the damper, the una corda, and sustenuto.
The damper basically makes every string act as a sympathetic string and completely changes the sound. The una corda originally had the hammer strike one cord instead of the 3 surrounding it, but modern mechanisms in upright pianos don't allow that, so it's basically a lower power strike now. The sostenuto or tone sustaining pedal keeps a note from being damped after you remove your fringers from the keyboard.

My folks did that in the 70s. They had a dual grill barbecue unit and when we moved to a house with a pool, dismounting the grills, mounting them on posts with gas lines, and setting up a picnic table between worked out very well. The wall used was the kitchen on the other side, so the lines were very close, and the proximity to the big sliding glass door of the adjoining living room made it very easy to to take a platter of stuff from the fridge to the grills.
That house needed a lot of work that my parents never managed to get done but I really miss it. It horrifies me to look at satellite photos and see the pool has been filled in. It's being used as some sort of assisted living facility now.

Oh, you must be talking about the guy who installed my "smart meter" this summer. The first one.
Posted by: t-bird at September 01, 2016 12:12 AM (ZxmMG)
You too? I had one of those installed a year ago. Leaked a bit. I smelled ... something ... but wasn't sure. Then, one day the smell was unmistakable so I called the gas company. They came out and checked it and their meter thing was pinging as loud as anything. Leaks all over where they had replaced the meter and the pipes.
So they redid it. The smell that night was 10 times worse than it had ever been. Had to call them again. The idiots who "fixed" the leaks left it all with worse leaks so they had to "fix" it again the next day. I made the guy take readings before he left.
What a bunch of incompetents. Thank G-d they only work for the gas company and not something that might be dangerous.

And for RecC.... congrats on the Russian Colt in hand. Pics, happen/didn't, etc. You know the rules.
Further. While College Station is a good enough town, especially of the Collegiate variety, it's only one of many that'd qualify.
And the Austin stuff.....sorry, but I'd recommend against, not because it's not a good tip, but because Austin will keep growing, and those "out of town far enough" places, 1/2 hr. out, will be subsumed by the city proper within a decade or so.
For the best of Texas life and culture, conservative locales, good land prices and as good weather, I'd suggest looking into:
* Kerrville
* Fredricksburg
* Copperas Cove
And if you want slightly smaller towns, stunning, beautiful vistas, and still be but an hour from Austin or San Antonio, perhaps:
* Marble Falls
* Blanco
* Burnet
Do your search engine quests on them all. I think you'll find something to suit your vibe with one of those, there.

But you'd best be damn quick, accurate and thorough with the primer and glue. One pinhole, and it's hacksaw time.
Gas, like electrical circuits, is where I tend to call in the pros. I can hang a ceiling fan into an existing box. Want that fan installed as a whole new circuit leg?
Time to call the 'lectrician.
I don't lack the confidence to install a gas line. I do though lack the license to assure it's insured. And that's a burden I'm just not willing to carry.

Baseline (a manufacturer) total gas detector, and gas chromatograph. They use a flame ionization detector. Very sensitive, and the output voltage is directly proportional to the concentration of the gas being detected. You have a tiny hydrogen flame burning in an enclosed burner, with a chimney. There is an electrode ring, not far from the burner. There is a voltage impressed upon the electrode ring relative to the burner tip. You have a quiet "baseline" current. Introduce a gas species into the supplied air stream for the burner, and you get ions in the flame, current increases.
FWIW, on the "portable" units, the output of the chromat was fed to an HP integrator, which output the results of the run on a paper tape. The bigger logging units had a computer to do that job.

In 1991, I was serving on the USS Camden (AOE-2), and we were driving in circles in The Gulf from early April to late June, gassing up the USS Nimitz, watching dead sheep float by, and almost hitting a mine one time (starboard fantail lookout saw it a hundred yards off, AFTER we passed it).
Every two weeks we would pull into Jebel Ali in UAE and take a cab to a bar that was the only place you could drink a beer.

I have also used the selective breeding argument to quell the anti-GMO types. They just don't know how modified our agriculture already is. And that it is a very good thing.
One reason our ancestors didn't live much beyond their 30s is that their teeth literally wore out. Ground down to nubs by the constant work to extract a few nutrients from a tough gritty diet.
Also, glad to see that piece on how the MSM almost stole FL for Gore getting some eye-time here. I read it several days ago. A fucking crime was committed there, but no one will ever pay a price.

Oh, has it ever.
I haven't smoked pot in at least 20 years, and damn few times before that. I never liked it much, I'd get that loopy high(which I never found to be all that), but 20 minutes or so later I'd fall sound asleep. What's the point?
Well, earlier this year (May 2nd, to be exact) that changed, and wow did it ever fuck me up. That was the night Cruz withdrew from the race. Being a Cruz guy, I was bummed, so I went out to the local pub for a beer. I've very careful with my alcohol intake when I drive-I know my limits, and how much = what BAC-and I stay well within them, even if the pub is only about a 6-7 minute drive from home.
So I had a beer, and then went to leave, and around the corner of the bar was a guy I knew-a bar acquaintance- smoking a joint. It doesn't bother me when people get high, I just don't chose to partake. He offered me a hit, as he'd done before, and instead of declining as usual, I accepted. I figured I'd take a hit, get home before the buzz started, and then I could fall right asleep instead of tossing and turning obsessing over the stupid election. I got in my car and left.
5 minted later I was in trouble. What I should have done was park and walk home, but I was just turning onto my street. This sucks, but be careful, be cool, just get home. I can handle this.
I drove right past my house, realized what I had done, and turned around.
And drove right past my house again, going the other way.
SHIT!
So I go slowly around the block, sitting on the edge of me seat, yelling at myself to keep myself in the moment "You're so high. You're SO damn high! YOU'RE SO FUCKING HIGH!"
And I got home safely by the grace of God and went to bed, but even then the anticipated sleep didn't come, I tossed for hours obsessing about just how STUPID I'd been and just how LUCKY I was. I suppose it worked, I didn't think once about the election.
Never again.
So yea, pot is just a bit more potent than it was back in the day.

Today is also the anniversary of the beginning of World War II, and tomorrow is the anniversary of VJ-Day, its official end. The biggest and bloodiest war in history took six years from start to finish.
It's almost as if the concept of "total war" gets wars over with faster than the concept of "negotiated settlement", which allows them to go on indefinitely with no end in sight.

You, yourself contain many genes that were spliced into your DNA. Mitochondria, for example, was most likely a separate organism at one time, until via endosymbiosis the organism was incorporated into our (and all other eurkaryotic organisms) DNA. And mitochondria have their own DNA.
Lots of our DNA is 'borrowed' from other organisms.

The (automatic transmission) van was in the shop for several days, so we were driving the (manual) truck, usually only used for 'round the farm chores. When I got back in the van, it was so weird at first to not have anything for my left foot to do, and I'd keep reaching for the gear shift as if I needed to.
Other than the tractor on the farm when I was a kid, the first manual trans I used was on a 4x4 flatbed at the highschool summer park maintenance job. The old thing was so worn, you didn't even need the clutch to shift from 1st to 2nd.

Pot isn't more powerful now. Back mumbledy decades ago, I had Thai stick, Jamaican Red, Acupulco Gold. Just once, a single leaf - leaf! - of something called New Mexico Blue, which really was NM sky color - and it was like smoking black Afghani finger hash. But the Brazilian we got one time, in a deal that would make a great Cheech & Chong style movie, made all those other things seem like ditch weed.
So, it's just that good pot is more readily available. And if you're not acclimated to the good stuff, well, a room full of us passed out half-way through a bowl of Brazilian knows how you feel. I imagine I'd get floored pretty easily by plain old Columbian or Mexican nowadays.
Ah, the early '70s. Oops. That is statute of limitations years ago now, right?

It is the speed at which the gene transfer takes place, who decides what genes, and the artificial part that bothers me.
Occurring in naturally in nature allows for natural selection over time and nature to balance itself out. It is not a shock to the system.
If men cannot even safely control monetary policy then I have serious doubts on the safety of overnight artificial gene transfer creating new species to be released into the environment at large and ecosystems on a smaller local level.
I believe we can agree we are walking a razors edge doing this.

Formally, "Going Godwin". The point of it is that you supposedly lose all credibility when you throw up your hands and accuse someone in an argument, and here's the important thing, who isn't a Nazi nor did exactly the same things as a Nazi, of being one.
So it technically isn't "Going Godwin" if you are ACTUALLY in an argument with a real Nazi, and you remind them of that fact.
As an internet rule, it's a pretty good one.

It measures demand for shipping vs supply. You can look up the definition, how ship supply is tight and inelastic and all that. Anyway, the long decline in the Index over the years mean the demand for global shipping is shrinking relative to supply. It's a global indicator.

Whatever happened with that city for 500,000 they were building in Africa? I think this is it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilamba
It looks like they scaled it back to 200K of living space. It seems they paid the Chinese in oil but when it was discussed previously there was an obvious question of the lack of locals with the earning levels to afford such homes. I wondered if the Chinese were planning to import a large number of their own to work the oil industry and other operations there after 'something' happened to allow for the land grab.

I love that map of "if only tax payers voted". Something I have been saying for years. We need an amendment that specifies that you can only vote in any election if you pay net taxes of "x" amount to that the district that is subject to the vote. IOW to vote in a nationwide election you pay net federal taxes. To vote for a State Senator you pay net taxes to that State etc all the way down to the local government level. Every voter must have "skin" in the game. If you don't pay for it then you don't get to demand it. I would also put a requirement in it to be a US citizen with proof at registration. But all of that would require an Art V convention which some people are afraid of.
And on the 2000 FL Democrat steal attempt, to this day you can not get a truthful answer out of any of the MFM or any Democrat. And if the same actions were held today Gore would be President because the Republicans have allowed Obama to pack the courts with communist zealots and he would have stolen the election with the old Democrat strategy of recount until we win.
VNN will be here at 0600.

If you think that song is unforgettable now everyone, (and I agree that it is a classic), just wait until you see that "video" for it, taken from a 1972 German TV show, of "Mouth" (the bearded male member of the Dutch duo) crazily "singing" the song with the help of a grotesque ventriloquist's dummy, while "MacNeal" -- the unexpectedly sexy female half -- drinking cognac and chewing on pretzel sticks as she vaguely lip-syncs along, all the while dissolute Euro-Trash cokeheads lounge at a faux "bar" on the TV set while young kids jump up and down and clap -- truly a psychedelic visual to the song that you will not soon forget.

jurisdiction of the 9th circuit court of black-robed clowns you can not
buy a gun. Supposedly there is some sort of federal law that bans the
sale of guns to medical marijuana users. I would say that this is a
result of Obama packing the court with activist liberal zealots who
don't give a T-damn about the real constitution, but the 9th clown
circuit has always been like this.
.

.
.I have been asking that question since Colorado legalized pot. The 4473 form asks if you are an unlawful marijuana user and according to the Fed, MJ is a Schedule III illegal drug. So you are a prohibited person according to Federal law.

New York Daily News is, this morning, running a story on how Cinemark is 'shaking down' Aurora theater shooting survivors for 700k dollars in legal expenses.
You see...they sued Cinemark, on shaky legal grounds. The judge in the case urged the plaintiffs to accept a proposed settlement, which they rejected. Later, they lost their suit. Now they're on the hook for the legal expenses Cinemark had to pay in order to defend itself.
The story leads us to believe, without ever actually stating it, that all this comes totally unexpected. No one could possibly have predicted that the evil Hitler like Cinemark would go after widows and orphans for so much money. It's adding insult to injury, or something.
It's also a load of bs. They knew what the risks were, and proceeded with their suit anyway. They took their chances, hoping for a little Jackpot Justice, and they lost.
Also, not mentioned in the story, how their own legal team, and associated expenses are being paid.

The problem with Godwin's Law is what if someone is, in fact, behaving like a Nazi? Comparing the SJW's desire to ban thought they don't like to the Nazis always elicts a smug "Godwin's Law" from the Left (who had no problem calling Dubya a Nazi because waterboarding). Evoking it has become a way of avoiding conversation about how we're losing our freedoms.

I am a firm believer in loser pays legal costs. A lot of these civil actions would cease. And this was a jackpot extortion suit to begin with. The theater owners, not anyone else not associated with that bastard who did the shooting should be held legally liable for anything that happened.
I would also say the the lawyers for the plaintiffs should have to pay too.

Hillary is practically in seclusion, with the MSM's blessing. Off in some "Safe Space" where she can catch a nap, and nobody can see her seizures or coughing fits, I guess.
No, Trump's main opponent is the Media. It's not even just the MSM. How many times have I seen non-Leftist Fox people repeat the lie about Trump having said that Mexicans are rapists, and probably a bunch of other mischaracterizations where - if they don't simply repeat what the MSM said - they beat HIM over the head for having ALLOWED the MSM the chance to do it to him. It's kinda like blaming the rape victim for wearing a skirt.
With the GOP Establishment showing their traitorous colors, I'm not sure whether to call Hillary is 2nd-biggest opponent, or his 3rd.

The left spins "Trump lied" because they didn't "negotiate" who would pay, which of course they would not do on an initial meeting anyway. But Trump can arrange collections from the $30B in legal remittances to Mexico, much of which is probably untaxed gray market income anyway.
Still the shills come out and say "Trump didn't get them to agree to pay, so he is a liar, what else is he lying about?" The "journolistas" can be bothered with actually reading the Trump website, they just preach the DNC talking points with as much venom as they can muster.

.I agree, he did not flip flop, the msm is trying to play that angle though. I actually like his plan and even if he only gets a small part of it done, it's way better than having hillary in.
Been to a few lefty sites today and Trump literally hit a home run yesterday. 99% of the comments are "Trump is a bigoted racist and anyone who supports him is a white supremacist" type of comment. That's all they have.
Panic in the left has truly set in. His speech and visit combined with hillary dropping in the polls has made them realize that she does not have this election in the bag like they were lead to believe.
Her own team knows that the more people see and hear her the more her numbers drop. That's why she is in seclusion I think.

I think I had heard that at some point (from Tammy Bruce, maybe?). I would have liked to see his arguments. We've been down that road before, where we say "the polls are lies." The polls really were crap, but (legit or not) they at least picked the winning side.
That being said, I remember at least one pro in the field talking about how it's become kind of impossible to poll, and that a lot of pollsters are getting out of the business. There's also how Trump overperformed vs the polls in the later primaries.

I've learned to wait for the details.

As I said I thought it was a great speech. And aside from the exploding necklaces and the machine gun nests every 25 yards at the border it was as much as any reasonable guy could hope for!

When all the other cards have been shown on the "flop", the racist card is the last hoorah they have to play. It is the new Godwin Rule. When they play that card you know they have already lost.

I was watching the streaming news on CBS yesterday and they referred to the Trump and Mexican president meeting as 'both Presidents'.
Ah, if only I could have been in the room if Hillary was watching that. I'd love to watch her lamp tossing in action.

Luján argued that the memo could have been doctored, so Republicans' use of it would essentially be "aiding the Russian government" in their attempt to sway U.S. elections.
"The Russians have a long track record of doctoring documents acquired through cyberattacks, and while we cannot confirm their authenticity, their appearance online is certainly a notable concern," Luján wrote. "The NRCC's use of documents stolen by the Russians plays right into the hands of one of the United States' most dangerous adversaries. Put simply, if this action continues, the NRCC will be complicit in aiding the Russian government in its effort to influence American elections."
The DCCC, however, refuses to say whether the information in the DCCC memo was altered or not, citing an ongoing FBI investigation.

Just keep in mind how every one of the media goons kept saying Trump's downfall was right around the corner as he kept blowing all the other opponents out of the water.

My stance is the DNC pushed her into the nomination and now they can eat their shit sandwich.

I found the whole thing uplifting, and eminently practical. I could see absolutely every single thing he said actually being implemented, he justifies it with no apologies, gives the necessary historical perspective - the whole deal. It's 100% the kind of stuff where you ought to be asking, "Why wasn't this done 40 years ago?" It's what ANY competent government with any means would do.
That being said, there IS a legitimate "weak spot" of sorts. While he says, "no amnesty", and "all are subject to deportation", in reality what he's saying about non-criminal illegals already here is "WE'LL FIGURE THAT OUT LATER."
The actual quote is, "[After border security is established, and the criminal aliens are kicked out] then and only then will we be in a position to consider the appropriate disposition of those who remain. That discussion can only take place in an atmosphere in which illegal immigration is a memory of the past, allowing us to weigh the different options available based on the new circumstances at the time."
The Media (MFM and otherwise) were salivating with glee over Trump's supposed "turnaround" on his signature issue for a week, and they're grabbing this like a lion would a juicy steak, but this is only "softening". You can believe that he won't really do all the deporting he originally spoke of, or you can believe he CAN'T, or you can believe that he plans on doing it but wisely chooses to NOT SAY.
Who cares? He's the only guy who credibly goes as far as he does, be it a Rep or a Dem. If he gets all 10 steps done (and he WILL, if the GOP doesn't succeed in stopping him), it would be HUGE, regardless, and about friggin' time.

It may be entertaining. It may be depressing. But it sure as hell is going to be educational.

Yes, what he said was that a lot of the people coming over the border and into the U.S. illegally from Mexico are coming here to commit crimes like rape and murder, and that Mexico is happy to dump its criminals on us.
And that is an obvious truth, and anyone who doubts it just needs to take a look at the prison populations in states like AZ and CA and TX. Our prisons here in AZ are chock full of illegal alien Mexicans who've committed violent crimes in AZ (and continue to commit violent crimes while living in AZ prisons and being housed, clothed, fed, and provided "free" medical care by AZ taxpayers). Ever heard of the New Mexican Mafia? They're a violent Mexican prison gang, widespread throughout the southwest U.S., and most of them are illegal aliens. The required initiation rite is murder.
But yeah, Trump is the problem.

Ans complaining about foreign interference, coming from the bitch who rented out her office to the highest bidder, and who set the mideast on fire, is laughable. There's nothing you can possibly imagine, no matter how Insane or stupid or evil, that she hasn't done or allowed to be done.

What's so amazing is that you don't even have to bother to even look at that. All you have to do is ask the question:
"If these illegal aliens are so wonderful, why isn't Mexico building the wall on their own - to keep them IN."
Why the hell doesn't anybody ever ask that?
