Petulant man-child is petulant. Trump would reduce the world to ashes if he could lord over the ruin of it all.

but then there would be nobody left to give him the constant reassurance and praise his fragile ego depends on

shouldn't those same folks who preach about how private businesses have the right to refuse customers for any reason they choose be defending this guy? instead, i see the comments littered with "soy boy" and other anti-left/liberal generic insults against the employee. weird.

edit: ah, it's because the guy recording is wearing a MAGA hat and a "TRUMP" shirt. that's why the redhats are out in full force here. but, still, aren't those folks the first ones to play the "private business can refuse customers for any reason" card? what makes this an exemption to that principle they hold so dear?

Fuck off. You want to fix illegal immigration in this country start fining companies and jailing the business owners that hire them. They come here because there are jobs for them and it's better than their home country. Companies hire them because they can use as them and treat them as little better than slave labor.

Republican's will never do this because they rely heavily on donations from businesses that do just that. They don't want to end illegal immigration, their cronies rely on the cheap labor. What they want to do is to pander to their racist and xenophobic base of ignorant crackers.

well said.

i like mentioning that jobs can't be taken, jobs are given. and, like you said, the only reason those people come illegally is because they know that someone will give them a job if they're willing to work cheap enough.

immigrants don't take your jobs. the free market does.

as much as i love to shit on Trump's "trade war", there's more to this move than just that. im not saying the trade war has nothing to do with this, just that it's not the only factor.

China's workforce basically hit a peak because most people who are able to work in industry have already relocated to the cities to do so. and due to their one child policy the country's age has shifted; the median age in China is 35 or something and in India it's 26.

For free?

the cost is that you have to install Epic's client.

there are reports/rumors that it has spyware and being owned by a Chinese company (that's basically owned by the Chinese gov't) makes me sketchy about it.

I have emails just for signing up for stuff and those fill up too fast to read. Lately though I've started just making throwaway emails for each new service that requires it to be a little more secure.

Gmail does a great job at this by filtering all of that stuff to the "Promotions" tab.

i dont know if "colonized" is appropriate here. the Kenyan government took out a loan which it cannot repay. not quite the same thing as a more powerful country moving in an seizing control by force.

Definitely colonialism

i looked up the definition

the policy or practice of acquiring full or partial political control over another country, occupying it with settlers, and exploiting it economically.

and yeah, you're right.

https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2017/apr/23/mick-mulvaney/fact-check-did-top-democrats-vote-border-wall-2006/

but democrats want open boarders right

i explained this to you above in an edit to post #35.

but i like how the last paragraph of your own source refute your claim that they voted for the same wall Trump wants today.

Mulvaney said that Obama, Schumer and Clinton voted for a border wall in 2006.

They did vote for the Secure Fence Act of 2006, which authorized building a fence along about 700 miles of the border between the United States and Mexico.

Still, the fence they voted for is not as substantial as the wall Trump is proposing. Trump himself called the 2006 fence a "nothing wall."

Mulvaneys statement is partially accurate, but ignores important context. We rate it Half True.

Obama loves immigrants

somehow these are things the left believes

Trump's wife and her parents are immigrants. clearly Trump doesn't hate all of them. just certain ones.

The funny thing is a lot of Democrats aren't against stopping illegal immigration, we're just smart enough to do the math and realize a wall won't stop that many people in the first place and is an insane waste of money and resources. The only short term benefit is job growth in Texas but it's coming out of the taxpayers pocket so really it's just wealth redistribution for a shiny useless picket fence.

Is this why Democrats were pushing a wall years before Trump was campaigning

And now act like this is about xenophobia?

Source?

"physical barriers where necessary" is hardly equivalent to "a literal wall spanning the entire border"

c'mon SMAL. this dude summarized it pretty well

Hopefully they're caught and imprisoned. Not deported (at least not yet) but thrown in jail.

Why consume taxpayer dollars on keeping them in jail rather than deporting them to a jail in Mexico?

Because if they get deported they can kill someone there or come back here and do it again.

Not if you deport them to a prison in Mexico.

That isn't how deportation works.

I'm pretty sure we could work with Mexico to make it happen.

sure, we could, but diplomatic relations with (anyone besides Russia but especially) Mexico doesn't seem to be Trumpy's strong suit

i can clear SoR2 on Mania (hidden) difficulty without problems but on SoR3 i die on like stage 5. the enemies hit like fucking trucks

of course, that was when Obama was going up against a Republican Congress that blocked basically everything he tried to do. during that situation it was up to the President to lead and bring everyone together.

but now when Trump's in charge during a shutdown while his party controls Congress it's somehow different.
