Here’s a fact: all rich and/or conservative people are inherently evil, and want all poor people to die.

I’ve been more concerned about someone here wishing I was dead than that tripe, LOL.

Spicer just announced that the wall would be paid for with a 20% tax on Mexican imports. Now I’m assuming that this means Mexicans importing American goods, but no one is stating it like that. They all say a tax on Mexican goods coming into the US. That would mean that American consumers would be paying for it…

If they buy products made in Mexico, then yes, they will. As far as I can read anyways.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-imports-mexico-pay-trump-234500210.html

Mexico is a huge trading partner and this tariff is going to hit most Americans.

If Americans buy Mexican goods, our sales taxes pay for the wall. If we don’t…our income taxes pay for the wall, because the money has to come from somewhere.

My grocery bill is going up so Trump’s supporters can have a wall that won’t even stop illegal immigration.

“Mexico is paying for it.” What a gaping anus this guy is.

It’s certainly not news I wanted to hear either.

Somewhat international, but it ties into recent things from America: https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2017/jan/25/netherlands-trump-gag-rule-international-safe-abortion-fund

Direct quote from the article:

“Ploumen said it was the Netherlands’ right to take an independent stance. “I’m pro-choice and pro-women’s rights. It’s important to stand your ground,” she said. “We respect the decisions of a democratically elected president, but we’re democratically elected too and we can make different decisions.”

If you want to persuade people on THIS forum, you shouldn’t use a line from the prequels. 😃

You must trust him to do the right thing. That is why he’s here. Donald is doing what must be done. He does not hesitate, he shows no mercy.

The only people Trump should show no mercy to is ISIS and possibly North Korea.

We shouldn’t judge all supporters by the out-layers, but shouldn’t Trump say something condemning these types of actions? If he’s legitimately worried about illegal immigration, he needs to put out a statement pointing out the differences to try to calm down people like this or he is indeed condoning this type of action.

A good eye gouging or bludgeoning would put a swift end to this. It’s rather sad that acts such as those could possibly be the only way to successfully instill fear in these bigots but that’s the Country we live in.

You know what sucks about this? Every person whose ever disliked someone does it. They use others as a bar of comparison to disparage the person they don’t like.

I get so tired of these types of “news” articles because they promote the exact opposite of what the country would like to achieve … some peace, quiet, and prosperity for all.

Frink posted a link with no commentary. This IS news, this is the country we live in now. People are feeling entitled to be assholes because they feel their president is an asshole and would applaud them. Which goes back to my comment that Trump needs to get in front of this, and should have as soon as these stories started happening. But no, he’s too focused on contesting the result of an election that HE WON.

Can you imagine would it would have been like if he lost? I guess then he could have called for all the investigations he wanted and no one would have to listen.

And IGNORING war, noise, and poverty does not make the country have peace, quiet, and prosperity.

Donald Trump only won because of a nonsensical, barbaric, racist electoral system where you can win despite earning three million less votes than the losing candidate.

He’s been in office only a week, and he is already eclipsing the worst dictatorships of the previous century.

That’s unfair, I believe the world will survive his term. America might be a completely different country, but most of the world will survive.

Welcome to my world. It sucks, doesn’t it?

My point was that those “supporters” are human and “adults”. Trump does not call them at home, text or e-mail them, or send them subliminal tin foil hat messages to just do hateful things everywhere in his name. The simple idea is ludicrous, for anyone that has supporters, but here we treat it like “from God’s own lips” truth and important.

We have personalities here that aren’t what they seem but we have to deal with them or ignore them. I use my own mind to make decisions and do research. It is okay if we disagree on each others opinions. Posts with links to articles based on crack pot titles are garbage because the distasteful intent is already obvious.
