Every product claims it will bring you happiness and make your dreams come true.

Coke used to back in the 50's til the government made them take out all the good stuff. 

Took my bike to the local shop because it was making a new funny sound. The guy stopped what he was doing, took it for a cruise down the road, rolled back in, made some adjustments to the carb, oiled the chain, smiled and said "Mai Pen Rai" when I asked how much. It isn't just the bigger businesses.

Just occurred to me, the pending purchase of even more tanks.

 

Are they going to be used to enforce the old laws that may now be enforced?Strategically placed they could blast the offending pick up trucks off the face of Thailand, there would obviously be collateral damage but quite acceptable. 

 

And of course good practice in the case of invasion from outer space.

The tanks are being sent to Chieng Mai to enforce the new "Attempted Homicide" Song Kran law for those that try and get free water from the moat to splash.

False claims.

 

'the fact-finding mission that was sent to China by the United States found quote: "no evidence that UNFPA has supported or participated in the management of a programme of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization in China," 

http://www.unfpa.org/press/unfpa-statement-us-funding-decision

 

Easy to fact check but seems alt-right sources are Trump's main source for policies. Trump could have also checked with the State Department but why be bothered with an opposing yet factual opinion.

You're backing your claim with a letter written by the accused. That's a little like "Fact-Checking" Charles Manson by asking him if he did it.

Another thought, he may have just been hungry and couldn't afford the bugs at the market. 

*Note To Self* Keep gun in pocket while licking glass and staring at 7-11 hotties*

Think he'll get charged with washing windows w/o a work permit? 

1 of these days people will start getting the fact that Trump isn't a politician and doesn't kiss butt. The Chinese are in for a rude awakening and will either covertly push the little fat man to stupidly launch a missile at a real target so they don't take the brunt of the repercussions or realize that they aren't yet in line to be the new world power.

I'm also curious why nobody is looking into the fact that it may very well be the Chinese doing all the hacking to keep the Russia vs America pot stirred and attention diverted away from their real motives. After all, the Chinese are years ahead of Russia in the tech field.

Now that you've done some of your homework, why not try doing the rest?  Google what it costs to try death penalty cases vs. other cases and what it costs to house death penalty prisoners vs. other prisoners.

the debate wasn't about "Trying" anybody. It IS about the cost of keeping them alive IN prison for 50+ yrs vs. just executing them as sentenced.

You need to spend some time researching his budget.  His proposed increase in military spending will more than take up any money gotten from small things like this.

 

So no, DoJ is not offering an easy way to pay for the wall.  It will never get past congress.  Just like many of his other failed initiatives.

Why do you rewrite my words so you can say silly stuff? I never said the DoJ "Offered" anything. I said they were in the process of freeing up more than enough money to cover the cost. At well over $100 billion in cut federal aid. Also, IF you did the research, you'd see that the cost of the wall is incorporated in the military budget increase as it covers the military and homeland security.

and in the U.S. system executing someone is MUCH more expensive than prison for life.

so, you're saying that a 50 cent bullet or a $10 syringe full of painkillers and poison is MUCH more expensive that say $167,731 to feed, house and guard each inmate per year?

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/24/nyregion/citys-annual-cost-per-inmate-is-nearly-168000-study-says.html

"The Vera Institute of Justice released a study in 2012 that found the aggregate cost of prisons in 2010 in the 40 states that participated was $39 billion. The annual average taxpayer cost in these states was $31,286 per inmate. New York State was the most expensive, with an average cost of $60,000 per prison inmate.Aug 23, 2013"

The easiest way to pay for the wall is already being handled by the DoJ. When he cuts federal money to sanctuary cities for Direct Violation of Federal Law (which is why they get federal money) there will be enough to build the wall 10x over.

trump seems determined to push it at least. If he fails (which he will), he can blame everyone else. He actually seems to think he's going to make it four years and get reelected! The scary part is that he might.

iirc, you're 1 of those that claimed there was no way he'd ever win the election. Better hold your sack until after the 2018 vote where many who are stopping him from fulfilling his promises to the american people are up for re-election. 1st twitter shot fired already that they need to change their tune or face opposition in their own campaigns.

So, who do you think had/has a better understanding of the constitution, those in power in the late 1700's, early 1800's or those in power now?

Interesting debate here: https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/amendments/amendment-viii?gclid=Cj0KEQjw2fLGBRDopP-vg7PLgvsBEiQAUOnIXP4Ml5Buua7MlngnZxi0x0bCscswGDUmyL7dCwBLelIaAvfY8P8HAQ

Trump and Tillerson need to get invited to that meeting and take all the house "intelligence" dems with them. Then they "accidentally" get separated, Trump and Tillerson work themselves into the deal and then head home leaving the house dems behind. The MSM would flip out.

A true believer. Congratulations. Give trump a pass on the dismal failure of trumpcare and blaming the media for it ... WOW ... incredible case of DELUSION. trump's magic propaganda potions clearly works on a hard core base, but it's never been a majority and it's shrinking daily. 
No need to reply. Black hole innit? 

Seriously? That's still the only thing you can come up with? How long did your boy Obama work on getting his failure passed?

Yet, NOne gives credit to the fact that ALL these people were doing ALL these things on a regular basis BEFORE Trump won and NOone cared.

Why don't we get an independent committee together and start digging up ALL the dirt on every politician currently sitting in DC? Bet you'd see some rats jumping ship then.

These are the days when we need a modern J. Edger Hoover. 

Give them the tools they need to get the job done correctly. Don't really give 2 shits about it making some wait awhile longer if it prevents just 1 nutjob from slaughtering innocent people because they believe the way the nutter does.

Facial Recognition Software could do wonders when sent out into "The Cloud" - wouldn't really need all the accounts, names and apps used if there are pictures floating around.

We're from different planets if you actually believe he's the first president to try to make good on his promises. trump is a very bizarre man. What are his promises? On health care ... he clearly promised health care for all, cheaper and better, for all and quick. He didn't even try. He outsourced all the details and ended up supporting a total CRAPburger with 17 percent national support that did the OPPOSITE of his promises. You backed a total con man and I predict sooner or later, you'll get that too. 

We must be from different planets as all you can site is the most recent news item. I will agree that he entrusted it to the wrong people by letting politicians work on it. As it is, you can't make the claims you make about something that hasn't even been seen or completed yet based solely on some biased political news hack's interpretation of something he/she hasn't seen yet either, yet you do. How's that "fair" to all involved?

He clearly promised to crack down on illegal immigrants - doing that.

He promised to work on securing our borders - doing that.

He promised to try and stop terrorists from entering our country - working on that but being opposed in dem courts by dem judges until the supreme court chair can be filled next week and those dem judges can be silenced.

He promised to bring jobs back and stop jobs from leaving - doing that.

He promised to cut out a huge chunk of BS regulations that stifle business growth - doing that.

He promised to help the American people keep more of the money they earned by working on tax cuts - coming soon.

Hells bells, the man's only been in office for 50 days. You (metaphorical "You") cut years and years of slack to all the others. Name me 2 other presidents who have tried to get so much done.

I didn't say that but I get it, you're promoting a pro-trumpist narrative. 

Yes you did say that. The 1st 2 words of your retort were "That's unfair". What I said was true. What you Don't get is just how tired I am of the pot calling the kettle black.

When Obama got elected I gave him every opportunity to make the changes that he promised and was sorely disappointed for 8 yrs. Now the shoes on the other foot and it's really getting old very fast that the 1st POTUS elected in my lifetime who is trying to make good on his promises gets bashed for tying his shoes differently.

Everyone complains about getting the same old crap from dishonest politicians but look how they cry when they don't have one to cry about.

That's unfair to characterize that faction as in any representative of the democratic party. They were "antifa" extremist activists. 

So, once again it's fair when the dems point the fingers at the GOP but completely unfair when the fingers get pointed back.

I agree both major parties don't seem to serve the people, but at least demos don't go out of their way to harm and vilify people purposefully.

You mean like the "demos" that attacked the pro-trump rally in CA. over the weekend?

Europe couldn't get it right in thousands of years. Seems you owe the states a few more years  trying. 

So, he illegally entered the states 8 years ago, has a 13 year old, US born daughter, got CAUGHT breaking the law after being here Illegally for only 4 years and his lawyer wants it taken into account that he hasn't been caught breaking the law in the last 3 years? AND, we should give him asylum because a child asked the freaking Pope?

Send him and his daughter to the Vatican and let the Pope give them asylum.

It's time for Nato to send a message to the US- to either put up and support the alliance or the alliance may seek other support.

Put up and support the alliance? Really? The US pays the lion's share now. I wish they would puff up their collective chests and make such a bold claim. The US could then say; "Fine, we'll just spend our billions at home instead. Good luck."

I'm amazed at how many experts we have here on TV. Can 1 of you enlightened lot please post your copy of the finalized bill. Oh wait, that's right. It ISN'T finalized yet is it? 

So many dems, it's just amazing that you could have lost so huge in the election.

Trump could decide to change his tie for a meeting and there would be 100 of you on here condemning his choice before he ever got to the closet to make a choice.
