  1. Most of this is really petty unimportant stuff. The big federal gov issues in no particular order are debt and fiscal responsibility, jobs and the economy, national security, illegal immigration and health care reform. The rest is just noise and the media is doing a great job of making noise about all kinds of meaningless stuff. Trump isn't going to win on style but he is off to a good start on winning the big important issues.
  2. They are 150's now.
  3. Some companies want to hire non-Americans simply because they are cheaper and there have been publicized reports in the past couple years of people being laid-off after training their cheaper replacements. bull **** to that. Other companies, several in silicon valley want to hire non-americans simply because it's the fashionable liberal N.Cal cool we're hip and an extension of the liberal college system and the diverse company thing to do especially since many of our hiring managers are immigrants so they lean in that direction. !@#$ that too. The University system through it's love for diversity and all things liberal routinely gives preference to non-American students and some of these students then need Visas in order to work after graduation. Double !@#$ that one especially the Universities that are state institutions funded in part by their state taxpayer dollars. We are literally turning away good American in-state kids in every state who want to study engineering and computer science due to ridiculous college admissions practices. I won't attempt to defend Trump in this instance but I've seen reports over the years that Florida in particular has a low-skill labor shortage due to short-term agriculture and snow-bird activity. A large shortage due to a big spike in labor needs each year, but yes every effort should be made to recruit citizens into those jobs.
  4. Has there ever been a country on earth with a significant Muslim and Christian or Jewish population that has prospered without violence?
  5. I'd like to see exit poll data in addition to the actual poll data. Ideas without action are merely dreams.
  6. The goal of securing our border and getting the bad apple illegal immigrants out and making efforts to keep other potential bad apples out is the biggest no-brainer going.
  7. Yes if he's cut he should sign with any team but Buffalo.
  8. Yes, it's quite a spectator sport. Like an NCAA tournament that'll go on for at least 4 years.
  9. His PR isn't going to be good ever. He's at war with the media and the media will wage that war, He doesn't articulate his positions on issues very well and he's confrontational. His actual policy positions and what he's doing and trying to do, I mostly like.
  10. Which of Trump's people? What were they talking about then? Couldn't be Podesta's email password as we know Podesta gave that out himself.
  11. It depends. They are using nitrogen to fill the tires and they may run higher or lower pressures right side to fine tune the handling of the car.
  12. So does this mean that adult Muslim men can't behave in a population full of blond women?
  13. And private insurance premiums have increased so that Medicaid reimbursements to providers can stay artificially low.
  14. Is that $1100 through an insurance carrier after insurance discount or is that the "list price"?
  15. It's time to start thinking about the next leftist attack on Trump. The fading Russian narrative doesn't have much shelf life left, although the left is pretty good at keeping garbage in the news cycle.
  16. Obama did nothing to get the economy humming. He did nothing essentially and resilient businesses adjusted and reduced costs in many cases. In other cases (the auto industry) demand increased simply because **** wears out and people buy new stuff. Wages and workforce participation have lagged. The stock market had nowhere to go but up. Trump has breathed more enthusiasm into the business climate in a month than Obama did in 8 years and there is nothing Trump has done that Obama couldn't have done and then some. Trump's viewed as a positive change probably mostly because he simply speaks to the issue of businesses investing and growing domestically. Obama in contrast criticized businesses and successful people and simply wanted to take more money from both and in the process hurt the very voters that supported him. He politicized everything in a very selfish fashion. He crapped on his constituents in many cases. Trump is doing what he said he would do and people like that.
  17. Joe is one of the few actual Democrats that remains in the democrat party. Most at this point are socialists.
  18. Yes, I saw them live at Daytona years ago. Best racing of the event.
  19. I don't care to hear about your sexual deviance.
  20. So in other words, this wing of the dem party wants to double down on what got them their asses handed to them.
  21. Yes, their email was hacked or leaked. Either way, the DNC a private non-government organization is guilty of poor data security and hopefully they learned their lesson. Now it's doubtful that Podesta's emails being made public had much of any impact on the election, but I understand the DNC, the leftist media and other loyalists trying to point the finger elsewhere because it was an embarrassing situation and this group of people isn't known for taking responsibility for their actions or failures to secure things.
  22. I'd prefer Trump to be more polished and more personally appealing, but it's what he does that matters. I'm watching what he does, and evaluating that. The rest is just noise.
