    Because their families are suffering extreme poverty and violence and I want them to have an opportunity for a better life.

    Remember, I'm not the one arguing that we're being crushed under the weight of needy takers. Immigrants help the economy overall, not even conservative economists can deny that. So let them come and grow our economy and then work on a more equitable distribution of the wealth they create. I think they make our country better.

    I would love to hear  your specific disagreement with my acknowledgement of the massive wealth gap in this nation. That should be interesting.

    Immigrants are good for the economy. But like anything else, too many immigrants will have a negative impact on the economy. To think otherwise just shows a basic lack of understanding of grade school economics. 

     

    So, what's your number?

    Ordinarily, I'd agree.  Ships and sailors and soldiers and aircraft operating costs ain't cheap.

    From the article:

    Now, maybe Col. Rob Manning was wrong, and it's closer to $14 billion.  Pentagon accounting and all.  But until the Pentagon offers a retraction, you have to assume his numbers are fact. 

    I'm going to go out on a short limb and say this is a typo or misunderstanding. $14 million wouldn't even begin to scratch the surface of the cost of jet fuel.

    His behavior is unacceptable.    I'm not sure we DESERVE or should expect to hear her condemn her own husband.

     

    Her failure/ reluctance to do so still makes one hell of a statement though.

    Wife- "Yaaa... ummm... he unfortunately got into a porn habit but we just prayed away his demons......" 

     

    There's a difference between thumbing through some porn and being a pedo... his wife should know better.

    I can promise you the participants aren't particularly thrilled...

    Nobody likes parade detail. You wear your dress and you smell like shit after. If it's cold outside, you freeze your bag off. Not to mention the logistical cluster fuck of getting troops, materials etc to the party. It's a wasted effort. The right is already full of walking weekend warrior boners that will never NOT love the military and the left will simply bash the troops and call them Trumps goose steppers. 

     

    You want to honor the troops? Pull them the fuck out of the shithole countries we are in (yes, I said shithole) and station them back home close to their families. 

  5. So the dude obviously liked fapping...... I think we all can agree that a good fap every now and then is warranted and sometimes necessary. And don't bombard me with how hot your old lady is so you don't fap.... I used to date a runner up miss texas and I still needed some Mano love from time to time. It also appears this guy likes an audience.... for those of us that aren't shy, I'm sure you enjoy an audience from time to time as well..... BUT, it's got to be an audience that is 18 or older and willfully wants to be an audience. I could understand if this dude was pounding it and got walked in on....... it's happened..... but this dude seems like a fucking creeper. Does his wife look like hillary? That why bill gets his hall pass from the left..... "you'd stick cigars up chicks hoohaa's too if your wife looked like a swamp donkey..."

    Love your lists, but not one of you has ever heard of a guy named Bobby Layne? Might suggest a google search. Of course, he wasn't exactly modern era, just HOF good. And if you read up on him, you will find he could probably have been HOF in pro baseball if he had chosen that path.

    My first day of freshman camp we were taken up to the T room. This was where we were allowed to go during study hall and sit, relax and study. I saw photos of Tom Landry and Bobby Layne together. It motivated me to learn more about Bobby because I was a huge Landry fan. Tom thought when he got to Texas that he'd be the starting QB, no doubt. He said after 5 minutes of watching Bobby in practice, Tom wrote "He was hands down the best QB I've ever seen, even to this day. I knew I had better find a different position if I ever wanted to play." 

    Bobby Layne was for real.

    lol.  2 of your 3 ‘fixes’ to division...are division.  

    Sometimes there must be a wild fire in order for the forest to grow back. We see it in nature all the time.

    The last two posts are revelatory. I disagree with Slorch about pretty much everything politically, but I won't ever neg him for politics. I've known him through these boards for years and years and I know he's a good man, despite his educational handicap. We can agree to disagree, cause we are internet "family," as corny as that sounds. (About as corny as a Green Giant factory, but fuck it, I'm rolling here.)

    But who the fuck is this Clob94 motherfucker? 

    Decade long lurker. Decided to join the convo. True believer in constitutionalism as well as giving respect in order to get respect. Sound good to you?

    The anti-Trump crowd might be even more on tilt than the Obama haters. I don't care either way, beyond results and policies.  I don't have to love the President. I don't have to hate them either.  I served under Clinton as a Marine. We didn't particularly care for his sorry ass either, but duty called. Samegoes now as a citizen. 

    3 solutions: 

    3rd party that passes term limits   OR 

    A national divorce (peaceful)       OR 

    Go to your corner and ring the bell and let the bullets start flying. 

     

    These are the only 3 ways we fix this division.

    Illegals are going to drive no matter what. States should make it easier for them to purchase insurance. Until then, you'll pay more for uninsured motorist insurance.

    Crazy thought here-- do sharks need tractors to plow corn in Nebraska? No, because they live in the ocean. 

    If you're going to come to this country, sign the book on your way in---- or don't come. Pretty simple concept.

    He really wants to sit down with Mueller but he can’t because he is under audit by the IRS......or some excuse like that.

    I wouldn't invoke that 3 letter agency if I were you.... or anyone else for that matter.

    Although your insurance talk is completely irrelevant to this conversation, why do you think they didn’t have insurance?

    What’s your point regarding insurance?

    and thank you, poor people do pay a lot of taxes. Maybe not income taxes, but neither do a lot of Americans. Are you equally outraged that many multi billion companies also don’t pay taxes? What about churches?

    Please don't turn this into a whataboutism convo. Churches should pay taxes. Corporations are able to skirt some taxes because of the bullshit tax laws created by career politicians like Strom Thurmond, Ted Kennedy, McCain, Pelosi etc. People of their ILK created this fucking mess. I fucking LOATHE career politicians. 

    Why did these illegals not have car insurance? Simple answer, they made the conscious choice to not fill out the 4 documents needed to apply for a green card. The one dude was a flat out petty thief..... until he stole a car.

    Infrastructure and media exposure issues 

    Let's focus on the media portion of this for the purposes of this discussion. 

    A young up and Comer on the right will be bashed by msnbc, cnn, nyt, etc.

    A young up and Comer on the left is bashed by Fox, rush, talk radio etc. 

    An up and Comer from the middle gets bashed on all sides to prevent said leader from "stealing" from both sides.

    We need a third party to transform one of the existing parties to their image. 

    This is known as a movement.

    Trump actually did this...with tons of help from the Tea Party movement and Kremlin.

    As history has shown, third parties are not viable competitors in our system over the long term.

    A third party always fizzles out, gets absorbed into one of the parties, or replaces a major party.

    I've been preaching this since I was 18. Now why, do you suppose, that no valid third party has ever been able to find viability?

    Explain how the poor don’t pay taxes. This will be interesting

    Trap door question. 

    Consumption taxes, yes, no doubt. Sales tax, gas tax, etc. 

    Income taxes, not as many. 

    I've been involved in 3 car accidents in my lifetime. Rear ended while sitting at a stoplight in corpus. Hit by an illegal with no car insurance. 

    T-boned in San Antonio by a guy that ran a stop sign in a stolen car (illegal immigrant).  No insurance. 

    Brushed a woman's rear driver side bumper in austin as she made an I'll advised left turn into the north bound Lane on south lamar near Saxon pub. No idea her status because she fled the scene. 

    All an anomaly?

    Why does their being poor matter? What does "unskilled" even mean? Would they be as much of a "burden" if we made them tax-paying citizens and entered them into our system instead of pushing them to the fringes? Do their tremendous economic contributions magically not count against their supposed "burden" costs?

     

    I'm curious as to your position on the surging number of Russian women flocking in droves to Florida to give birth on tourist visas. The number grows daily.

    I don't disagree, I just don't think any of these things reach the level of awful you do. Even with all of his faults, Barack Obama was the best president of my lifetime and I was born during the Nixon administratiom.

    They don't reach the levels that "I do" (you) because of one thing: 

    You did not lose your best friend because of his foreign policy. I'm not a Trump guy..but I'm seeing some results. That's all I care about from elected officials- results. Unemployment is at an all time low for all races, the stock market is killing it- my sector of business is rocking... so far, I ca only complain about him being a pornstar fucking goober.

    Of course the previous administration had warts. All of them do. But Barack Obama is a fine man and was an outstanding president, warts and all.

    There were things he did did that impressed me. Ya, he was a cool cat with an air about him...but I the end, was he Wesley snipes from "white men can't jump"? He'd rather look good and lose than look bad and win? 

    His foreign policy was just shy of terrible.... Israel, Syria, Mexico, Iran, Russia "called and they want their 1980s policy back". Drone strikes....... no way that can be defended. Fast and furious, don't even try. Did I support the guy his first term? No doubt. But by his second term, his deficiencies were readily revealed. I will gladly debate with you those short comings or you can simply act like a Bob stoops bag of dicks and call me a name like nazi or klansmen and show everyone that you don't care about an honest discussion, you just care about shilling for "your guy" blindly. 

     

    Volley to you.

    Come on, you can't both sides this shit.  

    One party has complete control of the government, and is bending over backwards to support an philandering, pathologically lying, dumb as a brick, grifting traitor.

    The other side spent 6 years defending an intelligent, thoughtful, and effective leader from the first group in the previous example because he once wore a tan suit, liked spicy mustard and arugula, put his feet on the desk...ah, hell, let's be honest, it was because he's black.

    Those are not remotely equal sins.  That's like comparing a guy who beats up his girlfriend's rapist to Ted Bundy because "they're both guilty of violence".

    So like there are blind Trump defenders, there are also blind Obama defender, such as yourself. As far as I am concerned, I most certainly can "both sides" this shit because I'm not loyal to either party. I'm about result, not style. If you think the previous administration didn't have some serious warts, I've got some bad news for you. They did. Neg me all you want because I'm not confirming to your beliefs or this echo chamber here, but my life was permanently  altered by the one of the irresponsible acts of the previous administration. And no, it had nothing to do with the ACA.
