Re: The fake news about Charlottesville answered again

All the conservative talk show hosts I listen to whenever I can agree with him that he has achieved a lot despite Democrat obstruction.
Does your memory only go back to when Trump took office? The Republican obstructionism during Obama's time in office was massive. Republicans used the filibuster a record number of times during the Obama administration.
They are very unhappy with the border situation but that of course is the fault of the Democrats and not Trump who has been doing his best to solve that problem
What? Border crossings were at their lowest in decades when Trump took office. What are you talking about?

Re: Racist actions?
Faith writes:
None of that is racism except denying apartments to blacks, and that's a sort of indirect form of it since the motivation is probably less actual racism than it is business motivated, which would be an accommodation to community racism though not his own personal racism.
Sometimes you get a glimpse into the mind of a Trump-supporting conservative, and it confirms what you already believed. Just mind blowing.

Faith writes:
Seems **** a different motivation to me if you are focused on losing money rather than personally hating blacks.
Why do you link a person's skin color with losing money?
Illegal immigration has nothing to do with race,
You are correct that people of all races are illegally immigrating to this country. However, it is curious that Trump only focuses on the brown ones.
and Trump did not support the white supremacists in Charlottesville no matter how you ***** -->***** ******** -->******** spin it.
We already know that you will not change your mind no matter what the evidence is. That's part of the glimps into the conservative, Trump-supporting mind that confirms what we already suspected.

Re: Racist actions?
Faith writes:
I believe Trump expected blacks to drive out the whites and his property would then be occupied by all blacks so that its value would drop and so would his rents.
Why would black people drive out whites in an upscale apartment building? Have you ever watched "The Jeffersons"?
Trump was never "focusing on brown people" AT ALL. All he ever said was that people illegally crossing the southern border brought a lot of problems with them.
Plenty of illegal immigrants cross the border legally and overstay their visas. Again, Trump focuses on the southern border because that is where the brown people come in.

Re: Former Federal Prosecutors on Obstruction
Faith writes:
I'd lke to see somebody try to make an issue of obstruction which Mueller clearly tried to provoke with the second part of his report.
If Hillary had been elected president, and she fired Comey because he was looking further into her email scandal, would have called that obstruction of justice?

Re: Former Federal Prosecutors on Obstruction
Faith writes:
Comey was replaced, so there couldn't have been any obstruction anyway, and besides now that we know Mueller found no collusion at all what would he have obstructed anyway? There was nothing to obstruct and nothing he did could have obstructed anything.
You didn't answer the question. Here it is again.
If Hillary had been elected president, and she fired Comey because he was looking further into her email scandal, would you have called that obstruction of justice?
Edited by Taq, : No reason given.

The southern border is where we get floods of illegals including drug cartels and human trafficking and worse.
Ports of entry is where drugs and human trafficking enter the country.

I suppose the difference must be that most of those are able to take care of themselves and don't become a drain on our taxpayer dollars.
They come here for work. Just ask the Trump Organization who had many illegal aliens employed for years, and even helped them get the paperwork they needed.

Re: Cost of Illegal Immigration
What is the equivalent cost for citizens who make an equivalent wage? This doesn't sound like the cost of illegal immigration but the cost of being poor.

Instead of this Nazi propaganda piece, we need to see an actual study which accurately identifies and tallies both the costs and the revenue contributions of immigrants, including illegals. Remember, you need to look at both sides of the ledger, revenues as well as expenses. And we're not going to get that kind of information from your Nazi friends.
I think it would fair to say that someone with kids who is making 18k a year is going to use more in public programs than they pay in taxes. This is true for both illegal immigrants and legal citizens. This is just how our tax code and public programs are set up. If all those illegal immigrants left and those jobs were filled by citizens then the same problem would exist.

Cheating at golf is hardly the worse he's done. He's cheated on every one of his wives, including his current one.

Re: Calumniating Barr: the latest tactic
Faith writes:
He spends most of his time trying to keep his campaign promises and thinking about that sort of thing so he isn't tuned in enough to where the attacks are coming from.
Really???
Trump promised that he would pass laws that would put everyone on health insurance. However, the Republican bill he backed would have left millions of Americans without health insurance. When has he ever attempted to pass legislation that would give every American affordable health insurance? Can you name the bill?

Re: Calumniating Barr: the latest tactic
Faith writes:
Yes I believe he's honest, not clearheaded about a lot of things but honest, not articulate at times when he needs to be but honest.
What scares me is that he is just wrong on so many things, very basic things that any president should know. For example, who pays the tariffs on goods that come into the US? Trump seemed to think that the Chinese pay these tariffs to the US Treasury instead of US importers. How did he not know that Americans pay those tariffs? Either he is too ignorant to be president, or he was lying. Either way, it's not a good look.
