Slight clarification. Ceding land owned by Americans back to Mexico without compensation to current owners or consideration or even adherence to existing laws.

At least some of which is a local golf course owned by somebody else -- hence a competitor -- and which was to be split in half by the Wall. Basically, no competitor is too small for Trump to abuse the power of his office to eliminate.

It's actually worse then that. While the official border goes down the center of the Rio Grande, Trump's plan is to build the wall on the US side of the river, effectively ceding several square miles of US territory to Mexico If that's the case, then I fully endorse using gators instead. Maybe we can go all Dr. Evil and fit them with lasers!

He wants to make reparations for the land that was stolen after the Mexican War. Judging from the keen sense of history that he repeatedly demonstrates, I'm sure that Trump doesn't even know that that war had ever happened (along with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor) -- though I suspect that most Americans also don't know about it. I wanted to suggest that Trump confuses that with the Zoot Suit Riots (Los Angeles, June 1943 -- it was white servicemen and Angelenos who violently attacked the pachucos, so of course the pachucos were the ones arrested). But I'm sure that he doesn't know about that either. I wouldn't be surprised to hear Trump say that Mexico used to be US territory before the Mexicans moved in and stole it from us.

Hi Ringo,
I see you've modified the last part of my name from "Genitals" to "Canada". Are you implying that your fellow Canadians are a bunch of Dicks or a bunch of Pussies? I've spent many a delightful and memorable times in all provinces of Canada, including rafting down the Yukon River form White Horse to Dawson City and spending summers at a camp in Algonquin Park and always found you Canadians to be *****.

Surely you dont expect your precious Socialism and human altruism to extend to every single person on the planet. We all would be broke as a joke and inevitably a tyrant would emerge to run the whole show. Unless you have faith that humans can be honorable and good if only they would try it. (No God Needed)

Humans invented honor and goodness.Luke 18:18-23 writes: Granted, this scripture not only supports the idea that humans do not have a corner on the market for goodness, but that humans who lack awareness would do well to sell all that they have. This scripture scares me, even though it proves my point that humans did not originate goodness. (Unless you argue that humans wrote the story and God had nothing to do with it, which sounds like something your evidence based thinking would try. ) Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" 19 So Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. 20 You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not murder,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not bear false witness,' 'Honor your father and your mother.'" 21 And he said, "All these things I have kept from my youth." 22 So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." 23 But"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** We must realize that the Reformation world view leads in the direction of government freedom.

Humans did write the story, Phat.
There is no evidence that any god has ever existed other than in human minds.
