Well yeah, that’s what the local news would always call them, cooked illegals. Because they would pack a truck full of people for usually 10k a pop, drive em over the border into El Paso, San Antonio, Brownsville, Austin, and then get spooked leave them locked up in there. It’s like 150 degrees in the back of the truck in the summer, so they’d all die and basically cook in there. Shit was nasty, and you’d hear about it all the time.
shit, while we’re on the subject, my local paper which is called Community Impact printed a few weeks ago in my zip code (78749) the population is 47% illegal. Stats for the whole city of Austin and the state were in there... I was shocked!
Were you shocked because even with a lot of illegals, the city was able to function pretty normal?
No I was just shocked the number was so high! I would have figured like 1/4, not 1/2
The u.s. added over 300,000 jobs last month and trump is going to meet with Kim jong un, Not bad in my book.
if it was all about what he's done, you're right, it wouldn't be as terrible as everyone says (much of it still bad, but I digress). but a good part of it is how he conducts himself. he just called a journalist a "sleepy eyed son of a bitch". what kind of shithead president says something like that in public?

Also, I wouldn't be so quick to think of this meeting with Kim Jong Un as a good thing...... The chances of Trump making everything worse are extremely high.
One must also look at the bad things Trump has done. So 300,000 jobs last month (what kind of jobs? And how many were lost at the same time? Such numbers are very misleading more often or not), I mean besides the daily shithead stuff he pulls and the sinister anti-media, fascist stuff. Saying "not bad in my book" ignores a LOT of things.

There is a lot to like about the stellar February jobs report. But its most impressive takeaway is that people in traditionally blue collar and white collar industries got new jobs last month.
Of the 313,000 jobs that were added last month, 92,000 were in the construction and manufacturing sectors. Another 50,000 were from retailers that were hiring.
"Blue-collar sectors drove these gains, led by mining and construction. Manufacturing is now outpacing the economy overall, and even retail had a strong February," said Jed Kolko, chief economist with job search site Indeed, in a note titled "Almost Nobody Left Behind in February's Jobs Report.
and with the meeting with Kim Jong Un, it could go bad or it could go really well, time will tell.
Hugh I agree that President Trump is a complete ass as a person but adding a lot of jobs and meeting with the world's worst dictator in a face to face meeting is something positive.

He also called NFL players who were protesting SOB’s ...

It's been a bull market with job growth for 9 years running now... why do people actually think Trump turned around an economy? I don't understand it
Horrible leaders have had good economies before, that doesn't change the fact that they are horrible leaders

An immature, petulant, spoiled narcissistic "president" who only thinks about, and is worried about, one person and one person only.
Nothing they said yesterday should matter today and nothing they say today will matter tomorrow. These are people creating their own reality as they go.
Particularly without conditions and railing against such a meeting because it would give Kim Jong Un what he craved most, legitimacy by a “superpower.” But that is the current state of the repube party, principleless.
There are lots of them out there in the real world....less so in here.
Oh yeah; they are all over the place. Anecdotally it seems like very few people have gone from like-to-hate or hate-to-like.
For many of them, it was never about "issues" and I think it stopped being about the good of the country long ago. This is about pissing off their greatest enemy. This is also known as "owning libs." This is not about issues, the economy, abortion, the environment or even immigration, walls, religion, or homophobia. This is a big, thousand-foot-scale cultural war. Some of those issues I mentioned (immigration, religion, etc.) play a role in this war but for the most part, this is about sticking it to whoever they're sticking it to...the "elite" I guess.
And they're winning the war.

An Ivy League-educated obscenely rich (at least at one time) guy who has spent much of his adult life hanging out in Manhattan with NYC elites is th guy who finally remembered the forgotten America.

C’mon, the brilliant brilliance that was brilliantly on display today? Are you kidding me? There’s no one here willing to vote for Team Trump Treason knowing what they know now? No one?
