Perhaps more would have been found if the states we all expect to be guilty had cooperated.


And yet they found it in the good old red state of South Carolina with the GOP cheating... imagine that.

Opinion | Help Wanted in the U.S.A.

Robotics and automation will be replacing millions of entry and mid-level workers in the next 10 yrs—we don’t need more foreign workers ( short term maybe ) OR illegal immigrants.

This actually touches on two issues, the first being automation and the sales job played on workers across the country by this president. Remember all of those jobs that he promised to get business to return to the U.S? Well, automation had already replaced those jobs, and as such, they couldn't be returned to the U.S. (BTW: hiring more folks doesn't mean the these jobs have returned)

The second is climate change, that thing that every credible scientist on the planet agree upon and a need to move the country into a 21st century economy. Hell, even if there are a few people holding on to the notion that climate change isn't real (???) then the multiple millions of good paying permanent jobs created should be enough to convince every man woman and future worker (children) that it's a good idea to create jobs in this manner.

i have posted videos showing otherwise, tons of them , scroll up and find them

I went back a few pages, couldn't find them. Probably just as well, no doubt more right wing slanted sources that tell half truths just as the MSM does.

To me it's very simply. We saw how hard it was to get just the small amount he was so desperate to obtain, what was it 5.9 billion? That's just a drop in the bucket in relation to the final cost and he failed to get the funding. If he could not get 5.9 billion pretty safe bet he won't get the final figure either.

NO one has an answer for the really hard question. If the wall was so important and had to get done, why did Trump wait until after they lost the house to start pushing for it?? I mean he had majority control of the House and Senate for his first two years. And it was more important for him to pass the tax bill. As if you can only run one piece of legislation through at a time or something.

Answer, he wants the fight more than he wants the wall. The wall is a good talking point to gin up his base, but I dont think he cares beyond getting people who will vote for him to get excited.

You can’t get Congress to work on everything at once. Why did Obama and the Democratic Party never do a damn thing for black people, yet they claim black people are important to them?

As for pushing the tax bill first, it is economics, which always comes first.

1. Exactly was Obama supposed to DO for black people. And had he done anything directly many of you would have screamed racism considering the whole not my President movement started with right wing folks proclaiming Obama wasnt their president.

2. Congresses JOB is supposed to be making laws and leading the country. If they are not capable of working on but one law at a time, they need to be replaced. Trump needs an issue to run on, the wall and immigration are his issue, and he decided it was better for his re-election chances to back burner the wall until the middle of his term.

Where do you get this stuff? Never once in his 8 long years did I ever hear anyone say "he aint my president"... which by the way is one of the most ignorant quotes any american can utterly phrase.

Who are you?,,, Some crony in Trumps cabinet party that knows his every strategic move and motive. News flash,, Trump won't need any strategy to win in 2020. Just needs to keep breathing. No democrat they volley up gonna have a chance. Unless Trumps moving economy comes crashing down,,, but even then. Long shot. Shoot for 2024.

What have I done?

I'm not sure who you think is my favorite network (I dont watch any of them), but weren't you defending Fox a few posts back? If you watch Fox wouldnt that make you the one who is parroting network TV?
I would never defend any network. They're all biased in their coverage. Thus deemed "waste of time" to watch. However, FOX is the only network to give you the straight scoop on the positives that are happening. When the unemployment rate hit a 49 year low couple weeks back I thought it was a bad thing when listening to MSNBC.

You know me, I go to give the other view you dont really want to see.

So please remind me of when the last time people from the middle east or Africa marched in force into Europe, or the Americas for that matter?? Christians had the Crusades... which might have had a tendency to put those faced with the choice of believe as I do or die... a bit on edge.

you got a steep hill to climb to win this argument, especially since there has never been an era of peace in Islams long history since its inception

I can't decide whether the funniest part of this post is that I apparently have a contempt for white people or that you thought my comment was surprised that you were holding the door open for people and not that I was making fun of you thinking that had anything to do with whether you were or weren't racist.

:pound:

In case you couldn't gather from the above btw...I'm white.

who carries his white guilt like christ with a cross on his back marching through jerusalem

I dont expect to win said argument because you have decided long ago that the problem is the religion and not the people.

But I will also point out that Christianity and Judaism are both older religions, and yet neither have lead to that magical world peace either.

The problem is the religion and the people that practice the religion. It is both.

Christianity and Judaism are not fair comparisons. There is nothing like Islam. There is no religion with the amount of violence attached to it as Islam. These are truths.

Christianity and Judaism is peaceful, except maybe the ones who are fighting for their lives in the ME and northern Africa.

Every excuse in the book for Islam. Its gotten old

Could you provide the clips you posted earlier? As I said I went back several pages and didn't see your post. I"m not sure which point you were debating, my claim that the wall will never be built or your claim that the Dems were previously in favor of a 2,000 mile wall.

Thanks

I tend to avoid any debates involving faith because that's a very sensitive subject and people are entitled to their beliefs. I'll just point out more wars have been fought and lives lost over religion than any other reason, by a long shot.
