Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

Good job the vast majority of people see him as a puppet of the organization that protects gun manufacturers profits.

OMG it is evil to act like Hogg is a puppet, people should be ashamed of themselves

also

LOL like Kyle Kashuv is an NRA drone LOL

I think he is trying to be edgy or maybe he is channeling his inner Liamg/adversus.

Some of his posts of late are going to their level

I didn't see an alternative to a physical wall.

You advocated for "technology." I agreed to forego a physical wall if the same goal could be accomplished by other, more efficient means. You then seemingly acknowledged you're not really interested halting illegal immigration.

Sure, if being unapologetic about disagreeing with you is "going to their level."

Usually you are up for spirited debate without lowering to the level of insulting people or trying to talk down to someone. That's their level.

Its not about disagreeing with me. I got that a long time ago with you. You disagree with lefties 98% of the time. Pretty sure everyone here understands that about you.

The only thing I said about immigration is that it should be easier. Wasting resources on a false bogeyman that could be solved by fixing our immigration system to make it unnecessary for people to attempt it illegally makes a helluva lot more sense.

And the revolving door continues....for this type of role, a lawyer doesn't just "retire" - he's being kicked out, or the honorable "I'm outta here" route, or both....

Washington (CNN)White House lawyer Ty Cobb is leaving his position, the White House said Wednesday.

"For several weeks Ty Cobb has been discussing his retirement and last week he let chief of staff (John) Kelly know he would retire at the end of this month," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.

How about we cap salaries on top-earners of companies such that they can only be 700% of the lowest earner in the same company. Why does CEO pay need to be 600 to 1? Or how about we actually enforce laws so that US employers don't employ illegal immigrants. Or how about we legalize all drugs across North, Central, and South America; this would stop people from fleeing gang/drug violence in their home country, as well as saving billions on a futile drug war. I'm all for cutting defense spending, particularly all the waste and corruption surrounding defense contracts, but not for cutting defense spending for things like veterans health care.

The wall is just symbolic expensive nonsense, as 1) it has about the same likelihood of getting built as my proposition about CEO-worker salary disparity, 2) even if built, people will find a way to get over/under it, and 3) it is still unclear how illegal immigration impacts the economy in any long-term negative way (the impacts can be negative at the municipal/regional level over the short-term).

This. It's absolutely ridiculous. And the only way it turns into 600 to 1 is based on equity, which means screw the people working at the company so Wall Street can get their desired returns.

Well deserved for young Kyle Kashuv

Sigh.

Thanks for err fighting for the status quo? Speaking at NRA conventions? aNoYinG tHe LiBs?

Presumably Gulianni can get a clearance but would guess it would hinder them short term.

Turnover of Trump staff is ridiculously high.

We probably disagree on what their level is. There are a number of left-leaning folks on this board who are far more snarky/hostile than the posters you named, yet I don't think they're really talking down to us on the right. Maybe they are, and I just don't mind it. Either way, as long as we're all civil, should be alright, no?

Well, let's be more specific then. Do you want to greatly reduce and/or eliminate illegal crossings along the southern border?

99% of the attention at his school is going to the kids saying that the NRA is evil. National media, sans Fox, is lavishing praise on Hogg and the walkouts. Meanwhile, Kashuv is swimming upstream. I appreciate you may not like him or his viewpoint, but he's taking a principled stance in no less measure than the others.

Like i said we disagree a lot haha!!

Anyone who continuously gets banned from threads is obviously someone who goes too far. I have yet to see any of the left leaning folk in the current affairs forum get banned from a thread. So to have them called worse that the bots or multis like liam is fascinating.

It's possible I haven't seen them at their worst, you've probably had more experience with them. I also question if there is lower tolerance exhibited for their ideology on such matters. I'll need you to tell me if I get too close, I'm entirely dependent on this site for my EFC news!
