Trumped

[red321]

I guess you could consider the right wing website you grabbed that image from as fake news if you want. Understanding you have a problem is the first step in correcting it.

 

Trump made the specific accusation that the Obama targeted him for wiretapping (or if you want to read it very loosely...trump tower wiretapped).

Pretty red circles and arrows aside...that article, or at least the visible paragraphs from the image you posted, does not appear to address that specific question.

Here is the article.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/19/us/politics/trump-russia-associates-investigation.html

"Mr. Manafort is among at least three Trump campaign advisers whose possible links to Russia are under scrutiny. Two others are Carter Page, a businessman and former foreign policy adviser to the campaign, and Roger Stone, a longtime Republican operative. 

Counterintelligence investigations examine the connections between American citizens and foreign governments. Those connections can involve efforts to steal state or corporate secrets, curry favor with American government leaders or influence policy. It is unclear which Russian officials are under investigation, or what particular conversations caught the attention of American eavesdroppers. The legal standard for opening these investigations is low, and prosecutions are rare. "

 

 

I don't see anywhere in the article that states Trump himself or Trump Tower were wiretapped.

That's the kind of intellectual discussion that brings me back here.

Let's start with a basic question: "Does he have a Samsung TV in his conference room?"

Well, we do know he tweets on an older Android phone.

Trump wants to fuck the Coast Guard (and I'm assuming, give those duties to the Navy, which they are not trained for) to pay for the wall.

Don't worry. Mexico will supply men to replace the Coast Guard and TSA members who are laid off.

Mennonites protest Trump's anti-immigration stance.  Mennonites!

http://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article137032783.html

That Martin and Corbo were protesters was – by their own admission – a remarkable development. Both are members of the Mennonite Church, a religion that encourages its members to stay away from politics just as it asks them to shun the wider culture.

One of my employees' dad was picked up by ICE last night. He's being deported to El Salvador this weekend apparently.

 

I have to think the cost of deporting one person has to be more than they'd ever use in public assistance.

Escort services?

Well pretty soon there will be bulk discounts so there's that.

I can't see how a one-way ticket on a cargo plane cost all that much compared to decades of assistance.

$250K total comp package per ice agent (guessing). They probably round up a few people a year.$5K to do paperwork and have judge sign off. $2K per night in jail. 

And the worst thing these guys probably do is send their kids to public school

Bottom up solutions are kind of pointless. Unless they plan to figure how to stop people from hiring illegals then everything else is just lip service

Well, don't forget about the fact that we can't use public parks on Sundays anymore since there's always Mexipalooza going on. Or what about all the people with injuries and property damage because of pickup trucks loaded 10 feet above the bed with lawn chairs and bed frames and random shit tied together with twine when that shit inevitably comes loose on the freeway?  Or how much time do you lose per week at stoplights when they're crossing on foot?  I mean does it seriously take two minutes to push that fucking stroller across the street?  And I'm sure your wife has told you stories about 5 foot tall dark brown dudes with giant mustaches and cowboy hats honking and grinning at her in the mall parking lot.

My point is, don't underestimate the cost upper middle class white society pays for allowing those people here. 

Yesterday I was at Baskin Robbins and a family of 9 tried 43 samples. I'm reconsidering my position.

This is interesting. Trumps campaign was more policy focused
