Knowing What You Know Now, Would You Still Support Trump for President?

Build the wall!
Drain the swamp!
Lock her up!

Or not.

Oh well, whatever, never mind.

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!

I was off- sorry.  It’s 56% “foreign born” which includes illegals as well as “non US citizens.”  The article is a pdf so I just took a screenshot.  Still I was shocked at the %.  Some of Austin is 70%.  That’s a lot of illegals man, assuming maybe a 1/3 of that 70% is illegal?


Shit-  edit, I was in the car.  My zip is 48.7%.

Or some would say that the population in your sip code is 53% illegal since Texas is was invaded and stolen from Mexico.

Quite possibly! “Latitudes longitudes it’s so absurd.”

It just seems that overwhelmingly those that support Trump are only about their own bottom line and as long as it doesn't affect them directly; who cares! I'm a middle aged white male so nothing he is doing is inhibiting my lifestyle at the moment, but I'm not only concerned about myself. I'd like the world in general to be a better place where the focus isn't raping the earth dry of it's resources just because we can.

Just some of the recent "great" things:

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke wants to open up most U.S. waters—including protected areas off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and in the Arctic—to oil and gas drilling. 

Zinke requires that his presence at the Interior Department be signaled by the hoisting of a special flag.

President Donald Trump signs a $1.5 trillion tax bill that includes opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling.

Trump reduces the size of two national monuments in Utah—Bears Ears by 85 percent and Grand Staircase–Escalante by nearly half—the largest reduction of previously protected areas in U.S. history. The Sierra Club's Environmental Law Program challenges the move.  

EPA administrator Scott Pruitt appoints Robert Phalen—who said that children need to breathe dirty air to strengthen their lungs—to an agency science board.

The EPA dramatically loosens its guidance on radiation, now saying that exposure equivalent to that of 5,000 chest X-rays "usually results in no harmful health effects."

Responding to objections from the Sierra Club's legal program and others, federal energy regulators soundly reject an attempt by Energy Secretary Rick Perry to subsidize coal-fired and nuclear power generators in the name of "grid resiliency."

The Interior Department renews the lease for a copper and nickel mine next to Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The mine belongs to a Chilean billionaire who is also the Washington, D.C., landlord to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.

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?

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.
