Agree...that is out of line in my opinion.
Now having said that, he has still outperformed President ("get used to it, this is the new Norm") Obama on the Economy and a multitude of many other success stories.
Congrats Billhike.

+1
I would add that now that it's known that Trump overruled 25 proper and correct (according to long-standing procedures) decisions to refuse high-level security clearances to his family and cronies, many of whom apparently went on to use private cell phones to send classified messages, and all while he and his Trumpanzees continue to chant "lock her up" because Hillary used a private server for some messages, the level of hypocrisy has reached epic levels, even for him!
He doesn't play golf. He hits a ball, and the cheats provide him a score.

You are a very poor and weak arguer. Sad.

Due to the Putin Bitch tax cut, we did as you suggested. Sent money in, no refund for first time in 15 years

I'll give it a shot...it's not about "whataboutism"...it is rather just pointing out the pure hypocrisy. That is what is truly sad. I don't see Trump as a racist. The immigration issue is a complete joke the way the media portrays it. Trump never said he had a problem with immigrants. In fact, he said he welcomes all who come legally...as we all do. I have a huge problem with illegals. In fact it should make everyone upset when they see these people on TV stating..."we are coming and you cannot stop us". The media calls them immigrants. Which they are not. They are illegal aliens. Come legally and you are then an immigrant.
The Charlottesville thing...saying there are good people on both sides, that was blown out of proportion completely. There are, I'm sure very good people on both sides indeed, some who want to defend and keep the Confederate flag.
Sexism...ok I think you got me there. The tape was pretty bad. Cheating on your new wife is far worse and I think that is terrible. I actually have no respect for men that do that.
At the end of the day though...he won the primary and I could never bring myself to vote for a democrat, as I just don't believe anything they stand for. And the thing is...neither do they. They need to put people into groups and pit the other side (republicans) against them. It's the only way they can get people to vote for them.. Surely it cannot be based on their ideas...
Open Borders, reparations, Abolish ICE, Carbon Tax, more income tax...on and on with nonsense.

Immigration policy is a total mess, with 100,000 people illegally crossing the border this month. The illegals used to be just men looking for work, now it is families or purported families that cross and claim asylum. With current laws, they get released into the US never to be seen again. The Dems need to admit there is a serious problem and work with Repubs to fix it.

Absolutely a mess, and kicked down the road for too long. But I can’t help feeling that Trump’s rhetoric on the issue impedes progress. Not that Congress needs help being inefficient.

I'd like to leave you to your delusions, but as I said you're such a poor arguer, I'm afraid I can't.
Let's see how your handle Trump's long history of racism and bigotry (BTW saying that Mexico is sending rapists and murderers and SOME fine people is the pure definition of bigotry.) Your argument against, "I don't see Trump as a racist." Very nuanced response. I can give example and example (Restricting renting apartments to blacks, leading the movement to falsely claim the first black president was born in Kenya, etc.) But your brilliant retort, "I don't see Trump as a racist" shows your depth of thinking.
"The Charlottesville thing" (I love your name for this sick day in America.) Let's look at some of the groups that were there shall we? At the Unite the Right rally were, "members of the far-right and included self-identified members of the alt-right, neo-Confederates, neo-fascists,[ white nationalists, neo-Nazis, Klansmen,and various militias. The marchers chanted racist and antisemitic slogans, carried semi-automatic rifles, Nazi and neo-Nazi symbols (such as the swastika, Odal rune, Black Sun, and Iron Cross), the Valknut, Confederate battle flags, Deus Vult crosses, flags and other symbols of various past and present anti-Muslim and antisemitic groups. Within the Charlottesville area, the rally is often known as The organizers' stated goals included unifying the American white nationalist movement and to oppose removing a statue of Robert E. Lee from Charlottesville's Lee Park."
So I guess you and the president are saying those opposed to removing statues are the fine people. But let me ask you this, whatever your cause, would it drive you to march with people flying swastikas and shouting, "Jews will not replace us"? Your man/child in chief has always had a problem calling out anyone who likes him, even neo-Nazis. But he has no problem attacking black athletes and actors.
"Sexism...ok I think you got me there. The tape was pretty bad. Cheating on your new wife is far worse and I think that is terrible."
That kind of says it there, is it far worse to cheat on your wife than to sexually assault women? In the tape he says that's exactly what he does and almost 20 women have said that he has. But of course they're all lying. I really don't care about his martial problems, that's whoever is his current wife's problem, but sexual assault (you know like your supposed to be so concerned about like Clinton) is terrible. Also what kind of man agrees with someone (in this case the yucky Howard Stern) that is daughter his a "great piece of ass"?
Anyway, you're horrible at debating so please don't type more inane things that I have to spend time on correcting.

This...right here is why no-one can ever say anything that is not 100% mainstream with you thought police. Not one word did I stick up for white supremacists or in favor of what they stand for. I think there were good people marching in favor of not having statues torn down and for the Confederate flag. And by saying that...you extrapolate it out into non-sense.

Well that may be part of it. The other problems include many on the progressive left who want to see illegal immigration (tear down walls, eliminate ICE) and many Democrats who are more focused on taking down Trump and will oppose him regardless of the issue and the need for a fix.

As long as Trump insistes on billions for his wall, immigration reform will be stalled. The two parties had a deal to fund the wall and give Dreamers status but Trump pulled the rug out at the last minute due to shrieking from the usual Fox News suspects. Two of the country's best ever political tacticians lead the House and Senate and could probably craft a bipartisan deal if only Trump would get on board. And even if he did, why go to all that trouble when the only thing he can be depended upon to do is screw it up?
As for the demographic change in the largely Central American movement of refugee claimants to the US, it is not surprise to me. nor is it a bad thing. I worked as a visa/refugee officer for 6 years in Central America, over a 26 year period (1986-2012) . In the 80s and 90s young men and women were fleeing because they were the targets of recruiters on both sides in the various civil wars. Now the issue is rampant crime, which affects whole families and so they are the ones fleeing. And I say that it is not a bad thing that the movement has changed from young single people to families because young children assimilate much better than adults and their parents will still be filling the gaps in the labour market that they have always filled. And parents with children are less likely to turn to crime than young single men and women.

Not to belabor this too much - but as this descent into lunacy has proceeded, I have always said that whoever the KKK and neo-Nazis and white supremacists are aligned with/support - choosing the opposite should be a simple decision - but that is just me

Great...come legally. If you don't, you should be turned away at the border immediately.

God, you're an ignorant fool or just terrible at deflection. I said, "no matter how GOOD their cause is..." (And yes I personally don't think it's a good one, but let's pretend you do.) Why would would you ever march with people wearing and waving Nazi symbols (you know Nazis, like in Hitler) and chanting racist and anti-semitic chants? Again, to get through your thick skull, no matter what your cause it's never right to march with neo-Nazis and White Supremacists. You are not a fine person, however righteous your cause is, if you march with this group of scumballs. Is that concept really too difficult for you to wrap your head around? Are all Trump supporters this dense?
napacat posted:Great...come legally. If you don't, you should be turned away at the border immediately.
Actually, there is nothing illegal with approaching a border and claiming refugee status. That's how it's done, especially when fleeing for one's life, as are many if not most of those leaving Central America. And under the UN Refugee Convention, which is law in the US and most of the world, it is illegal to turn away a refugee claimant. Now, once their claim is adjudicated, if it is found to be unfounded, then they can be deported but not before then, otherwise it would be the US who would be acting illegally.
However, there is another way to approach this. Refugees are supposed to make their claim in the first safe country they enter and so if Mexico was considered a safe country, they should make their claim there, which many do. And the US could make an agreement with Mexico, as we have with the US, to return refugee claimants to that safe third country, in the terminology, while their claim is adjudicated in the US, as we return refugee claimants coming from the US and making a claim in Canada to the US to await their decision. Some of them anyways. It's a little more complicated than that.
As I know that you like to get things right, here is a link to the UN Convention so that you can educate yourself on these things:
Facts and logic are ineffective against terminal whataboutism, bman.
You are arguing with a poster who said, "To you it is not a good cause...who are you to determine that? Any good people in the BLM movement?" And this in response to this comment:
"...what kind of fine people, no matter how good their cause (and this isn't a very good cause), would march with neo-Nazis flying swastikas, chanting racist and anti-semitic slogans?"
Who are we to determine that swastika flying neo-nazis chanting racist anti-Semites aren't representing a good cause? What the fck kind of question is that? Seriously??

Zin was my one of my gateway wines from whites to reds many years ago. I still like it with smoked meats, especially with traditional BBQ sauces. As far as bman's comment on his Zins being red, I'm reminded of the first time I brought a bottle of "good" Zin to my parents' house for a cookout. My mom (a notorious consumer of White Zin) loved it, and asked me what it was. When I told her it was Zinfandel, she chided me and showed me her glass of Beringer White Zin, and told me... "this is Zinfandel."

I love the Sonoma bottling of Seghesio zin. Consistent year to year and a kick-ass qpr.
My wife and I are spending a few days in Nashville in early May. Driving straight through from the Chicago area. The route takes us through Louisville and we are heading down on a Saturday - I just realized it’s the same day they have some little horse race...
I just had my Turley Zins delivered yesterday...along with a couple Petite Syrahs. Now just need to make some pancakes to pour it on top of. I admit, I am a sucker periodically for a fruit bomb

As the wine lord said: "Let he who is without zin, cast the first...…."
