Assholes. When I was young, I did time (only a day, but still) for a stem and shake, subsequently followed by a second arrest within a week from shake they found under the seat with velcro gloves! Now that's desperation.....

Building a wall is like putting a band aid on your carotid artery after someone goes kill bill on it with a samurai sword, its called theatre politics. Its for all the dummies sitting at home reading the headlines to talk about while they sneak up behind you and steal your rights.
The right thing to do would be legalize all drugs like potugal and offer counseling and rehab to those in need...

Bathroomsigns

They were giving away free needles and meth pipes at the local place set up to help curb the spread of aids amongst iv drug users that share needles. What I want to know is wheres my free weed pipe and papers to keep me from sharing weed needles with that dude that shoots up weed in the alley...

Trump's address to Congress this evening was chock full of lies. Here's a sample:

1."Obamacare premiums nationwide have increased by double and triple digits," Trump said, citing a 116 percent increase in Arizona as an example.

Wrong. Most people get their health care through the employer, and those premiums haven't spiked by nearly this amount. And for many people on the health care exchanges, federal subsidies are offsetting premium increases. Overall premium increases were actually faster under President George W. Bush than under President Barack Obama.

2. “We’ve defended the borders of other nations, while leaving our own borders wide open, for anyone to cross — and for drugs to pour in at a now unprecedented rate.”

Wrong. The data are mixed on the amount of drugs coming through the borders, but illegal immigration flows across the Southern border in fiscal 2015 were at the lowest levels since 1972, except for in 2011.

3. “Since my election, Ford, Fiat-Chrysler, General Motors, Sprint, Softbank, Lockheed, Intel, Walmart, and many others, have announced that they will invest billions of dollars in the United States and will create tens of thousands of new American jobs.”

Rubbish. Trump is taking credit for business decisions made before his election.

4. “As we speak, we are removing gang members, drug dealers and criminals that threaten our communities and prey on our citizens. Bad ones are going out as I speak and as I have promised throughout the campaign.”

More rubbish. About a quarter of the arrests that grabbed headlines in early February were of people who had lesser charges and noncriminal convictions. According to anecdotes of recent arrests, undocumented people with traffic violations were subject to arrest.

5. “By finally enforcing our immigration laws we will raise wages, help the unemployed, save billions and billions of dollars and make our communities safer for everyone.”

Baloney. Research shows noncitizens are less prone to criminality than U.S.-born citizens. The vast majority of unauthorized immigrants are not criminal aliens or aggravated felons. And there’s no evidence that reducing immigration “saves” America any money at all.

6. “Millions lifted from welfare to work is not too much to expect.”

More rubbish. Participation has declined sharply in means-tested programs such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps).

7. “Ninety-four million Americans are out of the labor force.”

Wrong. Most of the people who are out of the labor force are retired, students, in jail, stay-at-home parents, or disabled.
They aren’t looking for work. Only about a quarter of the approximately 90 million people officially listed as being out of the labor force are able to get back in the job hunt if labor-market conditions were to improve.

8. "Right now, American companies are taxed at one of the highest rates anywhere in the world."

Rubbish. The official tax rate doesn’t reflect all the deductions and tax credits. When they're figured in, American corporations pay about the same effective tax rates as companies in other nations.

9. “America has spent approximately $6 trillion in the Middle East, all this while our infrastructure at home is crumbling. With this $6 trillion we could have rebuilt our country — twice.”

Wildly wrong. The wars in Iraq (in the Middle East) and Afghanistan (in South Asia) together cost about $1.6 trillion from 2001 to 2014. Trump’s $6 trillion-figure includes estimates of future spending -- much of which Trump himself plans to spend.

10. “The murder rate in 2015 experienced its largest single-year increase in nearly half a century. In Chicago, more than 4,000 people were shot last year alone — and the murder rate so far this year has been even higher. This is not acceptable in our society.”

Wrong again. Overall violent crime is on a decades-long decline, since the height of the crack cocaine epidemic in the early 1990s.

11. “Jamiel’s 17-year-old son was viciously murdered by an illegal immigrant gang member, who had just been released from prison. Jamiel Shaw Jr. was an incredible young man, with unlimited potential who was getting ready to go to college where he would have excelled as a great quarterback. But he never got the chance. His father, who is in the audience tonight, has become a good friend of mine.”

Anecdotes don’t prove anything. U.S. Sentencing Commission data show homicides are a small percentage of the crimes committed by noncitizens, whether they are in the United States illegally or not.

12. “I can tell you the money is pouring in. Very nice.”

Trump ad-libbed this line after mentioning that he was pressing NATO allies in “very frank and strong discussions” to meet their financial obligations to the alliance. But his point is nonsense. NATO allies were already increasing their military spending before Trump was elected. And the money is not “pouring into” the United States or even to NATO anyway; it's money countries would spend to bolster their own military.

Trump tells lies the way most people breathe. They come so naturally to him that he can't stop. But his lies undermine our democracy because, told over and over, they begin to sound truthful. As a result, Americans support policies that are wrong or nonsensical.

It's amazing you claim all that is lies without one single counter proof of lies. Kind of pathetic.

Just the first bullet. Really....... Sad if you really believe this. Here is something from forbes, with real information, that can be debated. Not some lame bullet point that you dispute with zero facts........ https://www.forbes.com/sites/theapo...miums-to-increase-substantially/#4105b8f915be

I am not saying this as a Trump fan, just somebody that respects truth.

Nice try though hammerhead, when you can't battle with facts, just call Trump a liar as you lie. Nice.


LOL, then you remove your post. Pathetic.

You should get after it and move to New Zealand then because he's probably going to be president for 2 terms if he does what he says.
He IS the president of the united States you know,whether we like it or not so I will pray he does an awesome job,just like I did with Barack.
Wishing for the president to not succeed is like wishing for the pilot flying the plane we are all on to fail,stupid.Get over it.
Dems could have run almost anyone beside who they did and trounce trump,it's your leadership's fault so maybe you need to refocus and attack them until they give you a better candidate?
Once again I say no one is keeping you here if you don't like the country or respect the will of the people,don't let the door hit you in the ass.

Am firmly in the "trumps always full of shit" camp. Yall got to complain about everything Obama did, real or not, so now the shoes on the other foot and what goes around comes around. Take for instance the outrage the Republicans express about the Democrats refusing to confirm people and saying they are going to sit on their hands and keep anything from getting done. Well dudes...where do you think we learned that move, lookin at you droopy, as you were the guy that has made both statements.

Trump is a Russian agent is my sides version of birtherism. Really can't say I am opposed to it given that trump championed the cause. But well...your dude won...so govern instead of battling celebrities on twitter jackass. Quit blaming everyone else for your failures...oooohhhh look...he is playing golf again.

Basically the losing side gets to criticize the shit out of the winners and scrutinize every move. Trump is going to lose his mind as he can't stand the slightest criticism.
