Ya fell for the fake news, bud.

Even FEMA agrees that Puerto Rico's politicians, in addition to being geographically difficult to get aid to, are the primary bottleneck.

Also remember that time the mayor of San Juan accused the Fed of not getting them any aid while standing in front of a mountain of pallets of food from the government?

Yeah, pretty much this.

He's ruining the environment, the economy, Puerto Rican lives and basically anything he touches.

Whenever I need a good laugh I come to CE to watch liberals in absolute hysterics over this great president.

- Create a lot of new jobs. A number of domestic and foreign companies opened businesses in the United States that created employment opportunities for Americans.
- Illegal immigrant border crossing has been reduced dramatically.
- Deported criminals.
- Kept Syria in check by bombing their chemical weapons.
- Kept ISIS and the Taliban in check in Afghanistan
- Removed over-regulation policies by the Obama administration that hurt small businesses.
- Economy strong
- Did the best he could given the situation with North Korea...and they've been fairly quiet lately.
- Pull out of stupid agreements that hurt the United States.

And libs just complain about their hurt feelings.

I'm just against Trump being constantly criticized and lampooned by the 24 hours liberal mainstream media as if they don't want America to do well with him as president just out of spite.

Everything listed there is correct except for the bit about North Korea. They said a lot yesterday and claimed that Trump has lit the wick of war and there's no stopping it now.

And why is foreign relations "shit nobody cares about"?

I think he's calling middle America stupid as stupidity is the sole excuse for not caring about foreign policy.

But hey, they sure cared when Obama was going on "an apology tour".

It's almost like all of their complaints are projection and nothing they say will ever hold up to scrutiny . . .

Unemployment by year since 2009...

2009: 9.9%
2010: 9.3%
2011: 8.5%
2012: 7.9%
2013: 6.7%
2014: 5.6%
2015: 5.0%
2016: 4.7%

https://www.thebalance.com/unemployment-rate-by-year-3305506

Currently the unemployment rate is at 4.2%. Please try and tell me that Trump is responsible for the 0.5% drop in unemployment rate. It would make my year.

Poverty rate by year since 2009...(these numbers aren't nearly as good)

2009: 14.3%
2010: 15.1%
2011: 15%
2012: 15%
2013: 14.8%
2014: 14.8%
2015: 13.5%
2016: 12.7%

https://www.statista.com/statistics/200463/us-poverty-rate-since-1990/

Yeah...looks like the economy has been doing good since 2013. It didn't suddenly start doing well when Trump was sworn in because his first fiscal year only recently began and he hasn't gotten a budget approved yet.

I really don't get it.

I can understand hating the Clintons, I can understand supporting your party "just because," and I can understand deciding Trump was the lesser of two evils, but how he ever got the nomination and how people who maybe felt they had to vote for him are still like, super loyal "Trump can do no wrong!" supporters really baffles me.

That being said, while I do have a lot of friends and family that voted for him, they were *mostly* all "lesser of two evils" voters and really dislike him now. I'd rather them have never supported him, sure, but at least they aren't yelling MAGA right and left.

There's actually a very high rate of rape victimization for women attempting cross the border. So-called coyotes prey on them. A border wall would probably cut down on some of that, though I doubt Trump had that in mind when he first proposed the wall.

TC makes this thread about a country where people still support the Confederates in 2017.

If by "cut down" you mean, "at best let them get raped on the other side of the wall" you would be correct.

There's is absolutely nothing wrong with using the laws of the land to prevent illegals from entering the country unlawfully and staying unlawfully. Unfortunately, the media and the losers who listen to them have conflated illegals with LAWFUL immigrants. It's an insult to the hardworking immigrants who are already in the country as well as an insult to the basic understanding of the English ****ing language.

But MAGA voters are idiots for wanting the law to be applied.

MAGA voters are idiots for being excited to dump 20+ billion dollars on a deference that's not even that great of a deterrence.

You could have tried so many other options for cheaper if that was your goal. It's not though, Trump just wants his own landmark to stroke his narcissistic ego.

Edit: Oh, he's Canadian. He doesn't care about this shit because it doesn't actually affect him. No wonder he's so casual to throw out shit opinions.

A border wall would be a deterrence. As such, less women and girls would attempt crossing the border, giving coyotes less opportunities to rape.

Hungary built a crappy wall and apparently that cut illegal migration by ~98%. Obviously it's a much smaller country and the logistics are different, but they're doing something right over there.

If a wall costs too much, then how about the country lets ICE do its job? Oh wait, Californians and other losers are crying like babies when these guys even attempt to do their jobs.

The media love to lump illegals with regular immigrants and shovel feed it to liberals like they're idiots. Some of them lap it up too and regurgitate it like they're righteous. Everyone knows we're talking about illegals. It has always been about illegals.

It forces them to stay in Mexico where people are rapists according to trump, and with the wall, Mexico will no longer be "sending them here to rape women" so they will just rape the women who can't cross. I mean, unless trump didn't mean it when he called Mexicans rapists. Also what he said isn't fake news.

The reason why the rape incidence is so high for women attempting to cross the border is because they're completely at the mercy of these coyotes. They have no support. At home, however, they have family and the police. The men would think twice about raping anyone there.

Thinking twice isn't good enough. If the wall would make them think three times, I'd say it maybe was a worthwhile concept. I don't agree with what it would cost though.
