    He's a jackass who's actually fulfilling his campaign promises. As opposed to a jillass who would be more dangerous if she DID fulfill her agenda.

    Apples and oranges, CP. If I go into a store and get service from a serial rapist, and I do not KNOW he is a serial rapist - I am not morally culpable.
    But you'd buy apples and oranges from him?

    If I KNOW he is a serial rapist and still patronize his business, and laud his good service, then I am making myself morally culpable.
    Do you KNOW that Trump is a serial rapist, Carpe? Or are you competing with Tassman for drama queen of Tweb?

    So can I assume you do NOT think we should be ignoring the death of this man because it puts at risk $100B dollars in trade?
    Ya know, sometimes it almost seems like you're trying to be JimL, only with a brain.

      Now, CARPE, on the other hand......

                    I'm shocked, shocked I say, that removal of the deterrent has resulted in an increase in illegal immigration.
                    It's legal to seek asylum in the US at an official border crossing, they are not "illegal immigrants".

                          Your opinion is duly noted.
                          It's legal to seek asylum in the US at an official border crossing, they are not "illegal immigrants".
                          They could have legally sought asylum in Mexico, too, but chose to go around the official border crossing instead.

                          • How come they aren't trying to go to any of a dozen south american countries that have better conditions and freedom?

                              They pretty much burst into Mexico refusing to fill out paperwork for things like applying for sanctuary. Yeah, I'm sure they'll act completely different when they get to the U.S. border.

                              I'm always still in trouble again

                                According to former Mexican Foreign Affairs minister on Amanpour's program, over 1,000 of the refugees have done just that.
