  32.  Steven Sweeden  There is a lot of hatred out there. It started the moment Trump announced his plans to run for the presidency. There is no way anyone can deny that. People actually say it. "I hate Trump". There have been numerous attacks on people wearing MAGA hats. The entire Covington fiasco was due to the fact that some of those kids were wearing those hats. The media intentionally distorted that story. Anyone that watched the original film in an unbiased way could see that those kids did nothing so why would the media portray that incident the way they did. That doesn't mean that Trump is great guy but when people refuse to even acknowledge something that he did that might be good because of the way they feel about him, that's intense dislike....or hate. When a so-called comedienne's reaction to a picture of his daughter holding her baby is to call her a feckless c---, that's due to hatred. When someone posts a picture of themselves holding Trump's severed head or say that they fantasise about blowing up the White House, it's gone way beyond disapproval. It wasn't that long ago, that I was in a bar when a guy casually mentioned that he voted for Trump in 16, and he was called an idiot and then asked to leave. That's not just disapproval.....that's hatred. When a member of Congress tells people to confront those she doesn't like when they're in public and tell them that they're not welcome....that's hatred. These people may feel justified but it's still hatred, plain and simple.

  57.  spacedog101  No substance? Are you saying that only because she's a conservative or because you know her personally or have went through the rigorous process of learning what she's about? I'd say that it's because she's running as a Republican and that's ALL you need to know. The divisiveness that she was alluding to lives in your comment. You'll have nothing good to say about her or to do with her for only one reason and no other reason. That's true divisiveness. In fact, that's the very definition of bigotry. You don't even have the self awareness to realise that you're contradicting yourself. Trump is the first president to fight the "Made in China" only products in our stores. Yet, she's a strong Trump supporter. So, is she wrong to wear "Made in China" spandex or is Trump wrong to take on the Chinese and work out a new deal so the "Made in China" label isn't on almost every product in our stores? That entire weather map thing was a tempest in a teapot. CNN made a much bigger thing of this than what it warranted. They weren't even smart enough to see what really happened. "Hey...look at this map. Big hurricane in Alabama". Meanwhile, while everyone is obsessing over this stupid map, Trump appropriates more money, from another source, to finance the building of the wall. MSM is as much a clown show as Trump. Worse, because he's using those clown world antics against the DNC and the media and they're too obsessed with their hatred for him to not fall for it. Stop hating so much and start using your brain. That hatred lost the last election and will, quite likely, lose the next election as well.

  90.  @KeepItReal33  No drug war in Mexico? Really? Then why all these news stories. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2018/03/31/mexico-tourist-fears-violence-cancun-los-cabos/471115002/ https://nypost.com/2018/12/15/behind-the-american-tourist-tragedies-in-violence-plagued-mexico/ https://www.cnn.com/2013/09/02/world/americas/mexico-drug-war-fast-facts/index.html https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/the-cancun-that-tourists-dont-often-see-soaring-murders-amid-a-bloody-drug-war I got a lot more if you want to see them. I was in Playa Del Carmen in January. 36 people were gunned down nearby in a gun battle between rival drug gangs, mostly innocent bystanders. It has been one of the bloodiest wars on the planet over the last 15 years, almost rivalling that of Syria and Iraq. People are leaving those countries because of the corruption and the lack of opportunity......not because there are wars in those countries. They're not war refugees at all and that's why after they're apprehended at the border and told to come to their refugee status hearings on a given date, they don't show up. They know they won't qualify as asylum seekers and they'll have to go home. Once again, just like the mother of that crying little girl featured on the cover of Time magazine with a pasted picture of Trump looking down at her. Her husband had a good business going. She just wanted to get away from him and even had 6000 bucks to spend on a trafficker to get her and her child into the US. Divorce won't qualify you as a war refugee.

  92.  @jefftaylor2547  It's difficult to get the picture of what's going on from my couch but I don't deny the possibility of the organisation of this violence. I can relate something that I am familiar with to use as an example. In Canada, in the sixties, there was a French separatist group known as the FLQ. They were communist sympathisers and wanted Quebec to separate from Canada and form a new socialist nation. What's important here is how they were organised. They formed small cells of 5 to 8 people and they only knew the fellow sympathisers that were in their own group. Only one person, within the group, would be in contact with another group, would be the contact with a third group. It made it extremely difficult, for the Canadian authorities to get any information on them or their objectives. That's how, it would seem, that Antifa is organised. Not quite as secretive, but no formal apparent structure or chain of command. However, I'd say that it was a facade. I'd say that every group has a leader that acts as a liaison to other groups and that the average Antifa member is unaware of this loose association or is out of the loop. That's why, as you say, it's difficult to pin them down. This guy, that you say is getting paid, knows that there's something going on within the organisation but I'm sure he has no idea where the money is coming from or how. He's out of the loop. He has his handler, that pays him but where that handler got the money, he couldn't tell you. It's how these socialists underground groups operate.

  93.  @paulmitcheson2905  He didn't say to try injecting disinfectant. He asked if there was any research involving disinfectant and he asked 2 doctors. Only an idiot would actually think that he said that we should try it or someone so consumed with TDS that he can't think rationally. The "Mexico will pay for it" was, foremost, a political slogan but he also threatened Mexico with tariffs if they didn't do something about illegals at the border. Those tariffs would have helped to pay for it. So, Mexico started a program of helping to detect illegals on their side of the border. So, in a way, they're helping to pay for border security, freeing money to pay for the wall. Anyone, who actually thought that he was going to get the president of Mexico to write Trump a check to pay for the wall is either delusional or so consumed with TDS that he can't think rationally. You know why there is 10% unemployment? It's because Democrat controlled states have had such Draconian lockdowns that jobless rates were over 20%. Michigan actually reached 31%, at one time. Before Covid, the jobless rates were the best in US history. Can he get 10 million jobs back in the next 4 years? I don't know but I'm glad that he's setting goals for the country. Even if he gets half of that, it would be amazing. I hope he succeeds but, of course, that's not going to be good for the TDS. His failure to reach that goal would stroke that obsession in a satisfying way, though, wouldn't it? While he was hoping that Covid would go away, he'd already stopped travel to China and Europe. He'd formed a task force to fight the disease and even offered to send a team of virology experts to China, which they refused. He talked about it in the State of the Union Address, as well....the one that Pelosi tore up and not one Democrat mentioned that it was in that address. I realised that Trump was an optimist but I also saw that he was doing those things so I thought that it might be a good idea to prepare myself, in case of the worst did happen. When the toilet paper scare did come, I had enough to eat and wipe my butt for at least 3 months. You see, I didn't have TDS and that allowed me to think rationally. In spite of the numbers, the US is not the worst in cases or deaths per capita. In cases per million, the US ranks 9th. In deaths per million, the US ranks 10th. That means that there are 9 countries that if they had the same population as the US, they'd have more than 184,000 deaths. It surely didn't help matters when Democrat states like New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan and California put Covid patients in nursing homes. Republican states Florida and Texas have 30 million people MORE than New York but NY has over 10 thousand MORE deaths. Those are facts that you probably don't want to hear but I can back this up. TDS has a way of not liking facts. Sort of like the fact that there are Democrats that like to hold to the narrative of "peaceful protests" as buildings are burning. What kind of TDS delusional thinking does one need to have to think that the ordinary voter is going to believe that to be true. I'll bet the voters in Kenosha are all talking about how "peaceful" the "protests" were in their small city. You don't have to like Trump or even vote for him but at least be rational about it.

  107.  @dejuanrobert  You've just put on display EXACTLY why Trump has been doing so well. You're full of hate. You can't even mention his name without losing control of all emotion and going into a vitriolic tirade against him and anyone associated with him. The left and Democrats are always the ones going on about hate and "isms" but, in the end, they're just as much the haters, maybe more, than anyone else. Ask about the US ecomomy? People like you will go negative and then call Trump names. Ask about N. Korea and nuclear testing. More negativity, even though the testing has stopped (WOW) and then some more calling Trump names. This is the pattern, no matter the topic. You can't accept that things are going well in the US because you're hatred clouds everything you see and hear. LIke Bill Maher who wanted to see a recession just so Trump wouldn't be re-elected. It didn't matter to him that it meant the loss of jobs for millions of ordinary blue collar Americans so long as his hate was vented and the object of his hate defeated. Just once, I'd like to hear one of you Trump haters admit that, in spite of your dislike of Trump as a person, you approve of the fact that he halted the testing by North Korea, for the last 2 years. I knew that Trump was going to win when she turned her nose up and called his supporters a basket of deplorables. The smelling "Walmart" crowds that live in "flyover America". It's that disdain and hatred for ordinary people, and the president that has helped them, that will win him the next election and the Democrats are too filled with their own venom to get it. You're exactly that type of Democrat. You've already shown you disdain for Trump and billionaires. I'm sure you feel the same for his supporters, as well.....and you wonder why this is turning off so many American voters.

  137.  @PeacockPoverty  As a person I find Trump a very unlikable guy. However, that's not the point, at all. If fences or barriers have been an integral part of border security, then an even better barrier should be more effective. He made a promise of building an effective wall between the two countries that would stem the number of future illegal immigrants. He's doing everything he can to keep that promise and he's being opposed, tooth and nail, by the Democrats, not because it's a bad idea, but because they don't like the idea of him keeping a big election promise. Also, the idea that he was going to get the Mexicans to pay for that wall was just election rhetoric and no one took him seriously...at least non of his supporters did. They knew it was just tongue in cheek election banter of a windbag. It's like promising my wife a new car and saying that YOU, PeacockPoverty, was going to pay for it. She'd know that it was nonsense but she'd still expect that car. The point is this. Would an 15 foot high wall be more effective than the fence that is in place now? Having grown up on a farm and climbed over fences most of my life, I know for a fact that it is. Not even a maybe about it. The only problem that the Democrats have with it is that it's Trump's election promise. Nothing else. It's why they call the wall immoral, even though they supported a barrier 5 years ago. It's why Pelosi wouldn't meet with the "Angel Moms". That would be an admission that there were criminal elements crossing the wall, as well. It's why Democrats are tacitly supporting sanctuary cities, something that the Obama government would NEVER have accepted 5 years ago. It's all about derailing Trump. It's never been about what's right or effective. They're determined that Trump cannot succeed in the one thing that is obviously concrete and real. His other programs, like the initiative to set up opportunity zones or to help women succeed in business in 3rd world countries are abstract and can be ignored. A wall can be pointed at and its existence could not be denied. That's why they oppose it. A concrete reminder that Trump came good on a promise cannot be allowed....EVER.

  138.  @PeacockPoverty  Trump has already allowed that there are areas which won't need the fence due to natural barriers. He's not even trying for a complete wall from sea to sea. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jul/13/mexico-border-wall-trump-plan-wont-need-full-border Hurd is the only Republican, on the border, that has opposed a cross country wall and Trump has already agreed that it's impractical to do it. However, Hurd is still strong on border security but some of the land owners don't want their land appropriated to build a wall and he supports that. However, if a lot of his district is impassable due to terrain, it would also appear that these landowners don't have the hundreds of migrants crossing their land all the time. The natural barrier is stopping them so their argument makes sense, especially since they're the ones that would give up the land to put the unnecessary part of the wall up. Also, Ted Cruz does support the wall. He said so many times in this interview on Fox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOEQjQMyOBA Build that wall. He said it more than once. Trump has agreed to a limited wall, wants other security measures, more border patrol agents and more judges to process those that seek asylum. Everything that you've just wrote in your comment....yet you still oppose it. Saying that they oppose the wall because they don't like Trump isn't ridiculous spin, either. I know that for the simple reason that the MAGA hats, the ones carrying the Trump election slogan, will set people off in a rage. A bunch of Catholic kids wearing them, invoked the rage of a bunch of Black Israelites and then the nation and that story was spun viciously out of control. Why? It's those hats and their link to Trump. People have even admitted it to be true. When Whoopi Goldberg asked why they would fall prey to these types of stories, Joy Behar replied "because we're so desperate to get rid of Trump".....and she's right. The Democrats, especially the MSM, has been spinning so many stories in an effort to denigrate Trump, that some people aren't trusting them anymore and their ratings have been falling. Democrat opposition to Trump has become a series of knee jerk reactions. I don't see why the wall issue would be any different.

  144.  @PeacockPoverty  You've just proved my point again. How is a fence, designed to keep out "brown people" not racist, but a wall, designed to keep out "brown people" is racist? How is a border agent, who's job it is to keep out "brown people" not racist but a wall, designed to do the same thing, is racist? What is the distinguishing factor here? Answer that question without once bringing up Trump's name or any allusion to his existence. Try that for once. As for that assertion that the KKK is now cool again, even the SPLC says that it has been in a steady decline. Richard Spencer is hardly to be found on a google search except for year old news and for the fact that he's now in trouble for domestic abuse. Spencer first supported Trump but once again, the SPLC and said that his white nationalist movement is dissatisfied with Trump's presidency. He no longer supports Trump because he's decided that Trump doesn't follow his white supremacy ideals at all. As for your claim about the horror Trump has wreaked on "brown" children, the facts show differently. Those famous pictures that showed children sleeping in cages, were taken in 2014, during Obama's administration. https://qz.com/1291470/photos-immigrant-children-detained-at-the-placement-center-in-2014/ https://www.apnews.com/a98f26f7c9424b44b7fa927ea1acd4d4 Trump was still running a reality TV show back then. In fact, Trump signed an executive order stopping the separation of families last June. https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/20/politics/trump-separation-action-immigration/index.html This is from CNN, a news network that makes no secret of their hatred of Donald Trump. These are facts and easily verifiable. In fact, your entire tirade really doesn't prove that a wall is racist. Make that argument that the wall is racist without any references to Trump. If a wall is racist, that fact should stand on its own and there should be no need to invoke his name. To make this argument even more ridiculous, I don't like Trump, either. He's a loud mouthed blowhard, given to bouts of boasting and exaggerations to the point of full out BS. However, that has nothing to do with the wall or the facts. As a matter of fact, I think the distortion of facts around Trump might be a major factor in his being re-elected. The Democrats under estimated him and then alienated the entire centre of the country by calling them deplorables who lived in the "fly over" centre of America. That was a grave mistake and they'd better learn from it or they will lose again.

  145.  @PeacockPoverty  There are only 2 known sightings in the US of jaguars and one was shot last year. Not a big issue as yet. As for the ocelots, that may have an impact although most of the ocelots in Texas are in the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge on the coast and are too far away to migrate to Mexico. There are other pockets along the border and you're right about those. As for the butterflies, they have a unique capability. They know how to fly. I'm thousands of miles from Mexico and the Monarch is common around here and has to migrate to all the way to Mexico. Apparently they can do it and they have to cross the Mississippi River. It's miles across. A wall would appear to be a puny deterrent to that. But yes, it would impact some wildlife. How much is hard to say. It's one of those cost benefits analysis that must be made. However, the growth of major cities has had a much greater impact on wildlife that any wall could ever have. Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, just to name a few, and all the suburban areas involved have disrupted wildlife habitat exponentially more than a wall would. The diversion of water to California from the Colorado has had a major impact on the environment along that river. Most of the illegal immigrants are going to California, so more water will be needed to supply them. So it takes from one to add to another. Nothing that we do as modern humans doesn't have its cost. Emptying Lake Mead to supply a growing California, partially due to added illegals, is a very high cost as well. A decent consideration but not a deal breaker. Especially when you include the word "could". "Could" isn't a word used to describe a definitive problem.

  146.  @PeacockPoverty  What a wild-eyed crazed rant that was. You didn't actually read a thing I wrote and neither did you even bother to read the references I gave. You just blathered the same nonsense you did before even though I proved to you that you were wrong. This "fence good" "wall bad" argument is pure nonsense, nothing else. I've given you all kinds of opportunities to offer up a cogent and logical case but all I've seen are head exploding angry rhetoric and repetition. If you're any indication of what is the best that the Democrats can offer up as a platform, they're screwed. You'll have Trump till 2024. By the way, I'm not even American. I'm Canadian so Trump is NOT my master. As a matter he's screwed us in the NAFTA deal, although I attribute a good part of the blame to that to Trudeau, the nut who negotiates with a gender's studies adviser. I wanted to see if I could get a reasonable reason why a wall shouldn't be built and all I got was a rant about a wall being a symbol of racism and a lot of nothing. You've done a lot to convince me that us Canadians are going to be stuck negotiating with Trump for the next 6 years instead of 2. Another thing....my sister was deported from the US and she's a red headed, blue eyed white woman. She jumped the fence into the US because she has a criminal record. You see, the US will not allow the most blond haired, blue eyed, MAGA hat wearing, white Canadian into the US, if they have DUI conviction. That's because it has nothing to do with race....but you're to crazed with anger to be able to digest any information anyway. Good luck, you lunatic. You're going to need it with Trump as your master for the next 6 years.
