Only Trump would start a war with our archenemy....Canada

[SoulReaver]

Ummm.. No. He's far from perfect, but warts an all, he's a helluva lot better that the prior sorry excuse was or Clinton would have been

Ok, this feel better. SR is nuts again.

and tsar Putin emperor Jinping and supreme leader Kim Jong are also better


there I'm sane again (by your standards)

Only Trump would start a war with our archenemy....Canada

And on the topic of driverless cars...

http://thehill.com/policy/technology...rely-avoidable



Exactly what is the point of a driverless car if the occupant has to pay attention?

Exactly what is the point of your "comment"
Driverless cars are in a TESTING phase and the guidance from Uber was "don't look away cause we have not put crash alert systems in yet"
Uber SHOULD have put those systems in first, so that's on them, the observer SHOULD have followed Ubers rules so that's on the Observer.
Neither of these things is a failure of autonomous cars. Hey, they might as well have been a gun, right?

We are talking about sales tax here. That is levied at the state and county levels.

I meant that cuts at the federal level would have helped alleviate the impact of state/local taxes. But Trump only reserved that benefit to big companies.

And, exactly as I predicted...

Ok, so they don't want families separated. They got that. Exactly as I predicted on the day Trump signed the order ending separation, now they want everyone released.

The only proper response to them at this point is "Sit down and shut up".

The devil is in the details. Basically the order is that families can be detained until the end of time. I'm not too concerned with it myself until the admin actually starts holding people without access to a "speedy trial" and "Due Process" or some of those other constitutional necessities that Trump seems to hate so much.

hi, im sorta new i suppose though a stargate fan since the show appeared on fox nearly twenty years ago etc... back in 99 or y2k i guess... perhaps .. oh well.. maybe it was 98 or something uhhh... anyways

immigration is a touchy subject, i think america is obligated to fix the southern countries by eliminating all drug smuggling and purchases in our country,

only way to get that is to offer a free source of drugs and everything at local hospitals, one to three years of this will hurt america, but it will cripple the drug cartels,

america doubles down during the second year of this with actual direct deals and aide to foriegn countries in the south in terms of buying cocaine and other drugs directly off them,

and further eliminates cartels by arming all the citizines in the countries to the south with clever trade deals with thier governments,

they wont like it, but we could push them to join in, this eliminates half the danger of cartels we would still need to use direct military intervention,

but we could back this up with a further act, offer a form of work release amnesty to all cartel members where they are brought to a secure county within america and offered fair wage jobs to more or less cripple all the cartels and maybe even eliminate some of thier bosses in a peaceful way

then fix up the countries and help the people get proper employment across south america and fair trade and fair wages for everyone,

this fixes americas and south americas drug and work for pay issues

Why is it our responsibility to "fix the southern countries"? Why can't their own governments prosecute their own criminal cartels and engage in their own economic development programs? Why does someone (meaning the US) have to give them stuff? Or even legalize harmful drugs which by your own admission would be harmful to our own society?

Maybe because the US installed corrupt regimes in Central America overthrowing democratically elected governments as well as supporting oppressive and in the case of Guatemala and El Salvador Genocidal governments during the early 20th century and during the cold war? Or because the US helped stage a coup in Mexico against its democratically elected president that came to power thanks to the Mexican revolution that originally overthrew a dictator only to install one of said dictator's lackeys into power further plunging the nation into internal conflict causing irreparable damage to its economy?

What are the words on the book that the Statue Of Liberty is holding?

Aren't those words prescient right now?

According to: https://www.howtallisthestatueoflibe...ue-of-liberty/

Since Lazarus’ poem was mounted on a plaque, it is not actually inscribed on the Statue of Liberty. The only Statue of Liberty inscription can be found on the tablet in her left hand, which says JULY IV MDCCLXXVI (July 4, 1776), the day the United States adopted the Declaration of Independence.

All of those about you Annoyed, one after the other.

I re-iterate, "I" am not calling you a moron, or an idiot, I am using the -history- of your posts to prove your unwillingness to learn.
You are not "stupid" as an insult to shut you down, it's just objectively true.
Not because you are a lefty, or a righty, or a whitey or a blacky, or whatever polar opposite you want to claim, but because you repeat the same stupid nonsense you have probably done your entire 70 odd years of life.
If you are unwilling to learn, you are unwilling to grow, and that's actually sad.
