They found out they were actually made with real tomatoes. Took off the market until they can come up with a more suitable chemical tomato taste.

So you changed your previously pro-Trump spiel in what way exactly?

Read s l o w l y. It might help you understand English. I have, always have, and always support our president.

That being said, I questioned his strategy at first. But I realize Trump is two steps ahead of my first feelings, sorry I doubted him. Not at any point did I suggest I do not support him. I have a right to my opinion as well. 

My first reaction was Trump should back off military exercises to not jeopardize the summit. Then I thought about it more, and I believe Trump should not change a thing until if/when this meeting takes place. Kim is a lair, and until this meeting takes place, we should not change a single thing. Trump knows it's best to keep his pressure strong right up to the end. Kim cannot be made to sense his future will be anything less the the present, unless HE makes moves to change first.

Kim is on the ropes and he knows it. Out of money and friends, he has no choice but to make changes or his regime is set to fail soon. Trump holds the trump card, and he knows it. He is a master dealmaker and I agree to keep our policy exactly the same right up to the end.   

Her comment fits even before traitor McCain got cancer. He is no hero.

That is a great resolution to their detention, really amazed at how Trumps foreign policy is panning out with North Korea.

Prepare to be more amazed at Trumps' work.

Once again Trump shows the world what a REAL US President is made of. Why is Assad not charged with war crimes yet? He needs to hang just like Suddam.

All Trump should do is call out troops from Camp Pendelton to preform "military training" exercises all along the border (with live ammo). A few months of this training will go a long way to clean up the illegal problem. 

Smart man that Trump!

I am proud of these young people. I hope their energy persists, and they send irresponsible (to the wishes of Americans) politicians away from their NRA financed positions. 

 

This liberal redneck makes sense. 

A liberal is a liberal. This is just no fixing stupid. Sad

 

Don't forget to factor in a budget for payoffs. Scams, police, etc all have their hands out.

I agree 100% - nobody owes anyone anything.

 

But your model is also very flawed. If everyone became a qualified rocket scientist, there still would not be enough jobs for them to BE rocket scientists.

 

There will always be low-tier jobs to do. The question is - what are the upsides/downsides of having (for example) parents working 80 hours a week to scrape a living? What are the upsides/downsides of creating a sub-class of non-English speaking poor people living in Ghettos?

 

The updside of cheap labor is clear - more profit for companies. The downside for society is less clear. Is it a net benefit or cost?

"If" logic does not apply. Everyone does not become rocket scientists now nor ever. So strike that out.

80hrs week working does have up and downsides. So what? So does being a billionaire, doctor, lawyer, teacher......etc.

There will always be poor people all over the world. That is mostly due to their own efforts. Frankly I find it much easier to live within my means and consume what I can afford. If I can't pay cash to own it....I don't own it. But people who want to live on credit, drive a new car every year, have that new iphone are the ones ghetto bound sooner or later. That is their choice, up to them. I am not responsible for their bad decisions, drug habits, or both.

Particularly in the USA you can come from nothing and have it all. That is the attraction of most immigrants to the US. I say to them "Welcome", come in as a legal immigrant and prepare to bust a nut and grab that brass ring. IT IS THEIR CHOICE. 

Many many companies would not even exist if unreasonable minimum wages are imposed. The worker has a choice to work or not for the wage. If a company pays too little, they also go out of business because they can't hire people. Darwin takes over and does a good job of culling both the companys or workers who don't want a job. 

Always there are choices to be made through life. We each make them and hope it pans out. There are probably more people than you could imagine that prefer to live in a ghetto. Think about that. 

Get moving, we want the wall. Far less cost than handfeeding all the illegals squatting here now. Once finished, then ICE can ramp up operations and sweep them out, dreamers and all.

$3 billion for 60 miles of wall, $50 million per mile, or $9470 per foot.  The wall won't stop people who have crossed jungles, rivers, deserts and mountains to get to the border.

 

Any questions?

Cheap at half the price! Git er done Donald!

No questions.....you are just dead wrong that's all.

There are no low-tier jobs Americans don't want to do. That is a myth.

 

There are simply low-tier jobs American employers want to pay slave wages for.  Pay a living wage and people will get out of bed to do it.

Hey, if you can't make it on 1 job....get 2. It's a free country. Get educated, better yourself, stop with the tattoos and piercings and buck up. Nobody owes you anything, so if you need more money to live, get smart and work harder. That is what America is based on. 

I worked plenty of crap jobs starting out. It's your call to stay in it or move up. You want to force me to pay you more for less, I'll just fire you and do it myself. That is the outcome of forced minimum wages.

Nope. If you cannot support yourself in your new chosen country, you have no right to go there.

 

The US is not a charity. They need infusion of productive new blood.

 

I know quite a lot of people that moved to the US - many of them Indian nationals. In all cases, none of them have been unemployed or received any welfare. They got to the US with a job waiting and they were damn good at it.  This is what the US needs. 

While I agree, and most countries will refuse you unless you can prove you skill and ability worthy, there is still a little wrigglw room that we as a country can extend. I would agree to allow a vetted and skilled worker immigrant and even recieve a little help as long as I posted earlier....TEMPORARY. I can see where giving an immigrant a little leg up to get a foothold is not a bad thing. BUT, that help would extend no longer than 2 years after arriving. If they are not self sufficient by 2 years, they lose their immigrant status and subject to deportation. If they apply again, THEN they would need to prove full financial means before even being considered again and they would be disqualified for any future aid.

Even a "sh&^thole" country like Thailand requires as much!

The truth hurts the Democrats. After all they lied to American people, FBI, DOJ, Congress. If they don't lie, they plead the 5th. Their day of reckoning is fast approaching. Justice will soon be served.

What kind of a leader and president of a country refers to other nations as shithole countries?

Answer: A person with a diplomatic passport, that doesn´t know shit about diplomacy and diplomatic behaviour.

Answer: A person that speaks his mind and is truthful to those whom he does business. Unlike Democrats that lie out the side of their face and do nothing they promise.

ALl talk, no action. TIT
