[QUOTE=BufordDad;3651429]While I don't plan on trolling hoodrat mamas in the projects I'll have to admit that the menu of girls doing massages and rubs during the last recession was great for the hobby. Seems like when the economy got a bit straightened out they all went back to work. Not sure there is any good signs for that crowd but would agree with you that there should be an up-tick in at least the offerings and maybe at a discount.[/QUOTE]I won't take any joy...

Trump is not the perfect president, but at least he's trying. Your insinuation is lame, but cute: 'Now, I have never been on welfare and I don't know of anyone who is on it. ' I'd bet you know many but would never admit it.
I personally don't know anyone who would consider asking for a handout. If they did, I would continue to do what I've done in the past.

[QUOTE=HalliknWolk;3652668]Don't know if it will make America great but it will definitely raise the crime rate tremendously.[/QUOTE]Yea, it definitely will cause criminals to get even more desperate.
Keep it real though, we benefit from certain "crime," ya know the providers we see and the whole legality of it, etc.
Trump is pro police though, he says he's going to ramp up on police presence. Basically the country will be more of a police state than it already is.
Look at how horrible crime is in Chicago. They need to send in the army to control the gangs.
I do like his policy of AMERICA FIRST! I also hope he will double down on immigration enforcement.
Will Trump actually be able to get a border wall constructed?
[blue]It will be the biggest boondoggle in the history of American politics if he does. Not saying that we shouldn't secure our borders but nobody who has half a brain and has driven I-10 from Texas to California thinks it will work. It's a vast distance.
It's a simple fix, no wall is needed. Fine anybody employing an undocumented worker 100K per worker and the market disappears overnight without spending a couple trillion dollars. Though if you do that, you can't pass out all that government welfare to the construction companies building the wall.

A2[/blue][/QUOTE]Not to defend his policies, but it's definitely possible. It's ridiculous, but look at the great Wall of China.
It is definitely possible, but would it really work?
Illegals are going to find a way to escape and traffic drugs in. The cartels may even destroy portions of the wall.
Also, what do you guys think about Roy Moore losing the Senate race in Alabama? That will make things harder for Trump with a Democrat in his seat.

It's actually probably good for the Republicans to not have to deal with even more negative stuff had Moore won. And I don't think it makes it any more harder for Trump than before. They couldn't get Obamacare pushed out with having the Republican majority edge and the tax bill still needs work to get through (and, who knows, it may not). Business as usual in the Trump WH.

A2[/blue][/QUOTE]Spot on observation, and it points to the bigger issue. If we had ever truly wanted to control illegal immigration we could have done it a long time ago (spanning both democratic and republican administrations). We (the country as a whole) wanted the cheap labor - "we" American businesses liked the impact to the bottom line, and "we" American consumers liked lower prices. It is absolutely disingenuous and farcical to pretend that the world's remaining superpower is being unfairly victimized by a bunch of poor people crossing the desert to mow lawns and clean hotel rooms. Unfortunately, in today's America, common sense, integrity, and character play no role in shaping public policy.

It's either left, or it's right. The country is only as great as its people make it. The people that think it's a great country, are, for the most part quiet. E. g. , Nixon's silent majority. The people that don't think its great are getting sensationalized by the entertainment industry that some call *news*. But, of course, I have the solution! To all of it! LOL.
My solution is simple. We Annex Mexico. It's cheaper than the wall, and won't get busted down in a couple of decades when people realize it is a bar to good trade and common sense. Just annex the country and spend the wall money moving families and regular people north. Then make it a free for all area. Everything is legal. Gambling, Prostitution, Drugs, you name it, if it's illegal here it's legal. If one wants to engage in debauchery and is brave enough they can go to Mexico for a weekend of the wild south. The self righteous can stfu. The government can regulate quality and tax the shit out of it. In one fell swoop, we fix most of the immigration problem, wipe out the deficit, and best of all, I get to move to Mexico City and open a brothel! .

PS, maybe you can explain this one to me. How can you make The Greatest Country in the World "great again?"[/blue][/QUOTE]A2, I can answer your question.
Your question: "how can we make the greatest country in the world great again".
My answer: Bring back the country's INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH like we had during world war 2.
1) When one German plane went down, they were maybe 200 or so waiting to ship out and 100 in development.
2) When ONE American plane went down, there were 1000's FINISHED and ready to replace it, and 1000's being build that very second!
3) The united States is NOT the great industrial powerhouse it once was. We cannot out produce other nations like we used to. We don't manufacture anything in America anymore. Everything is overseas, we need to make America the great industrial powerhouse it ONCE WAS!
Now that is a coherent argument, what is your response to that A2? Surely you can agree that American industry has GREATLY DECLINED Along with it's economy.
I'm really interested in hearing your response to this.
Side note: I don't necessarily disagree about the immigration issues. I definitely need to learn more about the ramifications of a wall.
I doubt the wall will get built though, and I doubt Mexico will pay for it.
Also, at one point in time America was 100% debt free and independent.
That is no longer the case, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! (not saying I support Trump).
These are all FACTS, since you love dealing with FACTS.
There was also a point in time where America STAYED OUT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Let's make it GREAT like that again.
Let's STOP trying to police the world, let other nations handle their own issues.
Get rid of the United Nations also!
Remember the words of our founding fathers George Washington: "STAY OUT OF EUROPEAN AFFAIRS!
Remember this nation once had an isolationist policy. Of course it was much smaller then, and wasn't a super power.
Come one guys, let's here you take o. This. Do you agree with me, or am I full of it??
Keep it real.
I do think that everybody that comes in here from Mexico or some other country should go through the legal process to be legalized to stay here. Our own country has made very controversial decisions some times though. After World War 2 lots of immigrants from many countries were allowed to come live here and there was no way to know if they were war criminals when letting them in unless they happened to get recognized by a lot of people who immigrated too which did happen. Nazi scientists were also brought here to help make our defense system more sophisticated back then too. We've always been letting people from other countries in here but things have happened where the USA Government has drawn that fine line. I think that guy being found not guilty of shooting that girl who was an illlegal from Mexico is going to end up being one of those things where the government draws the line again. The government has already showed us many times since 9/11 that they will take care of things however necessary. Also showed us they will take care of things economically too. The government letting a huge bank go bust in 2008 was more than convincing for me.
