because they are conflating the difference between abuse and mutual consent.

YES!! where are these attractive female and can they abuse me now please. I'm all yours, nuff said. I think you are conflating the real issue of abusive relationship and gender identity. Abusive relationship of all types exist and are detrimental to anyone. It doesn't matter if its a hetero or homo couple of any gender. I find that men who are physical abusers are often victim of mental abuse by their spouse. It takes two to tango (dance) as we say here down south.

Jeeze man take a chill pill, I'm not attacking you, I'm attacking your ideas. True the border wall won't help those who got in legally through the visa process and over stayed. LOLS They are not the problem and we aren't prosecuting them as illegals when it comes to immigration. It's the people who crosses the border through neighboring countries using human traffickers that's the concern. Those "rednecks" are working class blue collar workers. They need jobs that trump is bringing back to lift themselves out of poverty. Same for the Latinos. Stop bringing up race or ethnicity, poverty doesn't discriminate, poverty doesn't care about your ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation etc.... I don't buy the identity politics bull shit.

Actually, this is a typical misperception of Trump. He's not pro Russia. He's reaching out to Russia to reduce tension ending the cold war with Russia, on our terms. The reason he's doing this is to unite Russia with Europe and the West for a real fight with China. You should look at Steve Bannon on his economic nationalism policies. It explains Trump's over all goals. There are real, difficult differences with Russia but they are trying to diffuse tension to get a working relationship with Russia against China.

It failed because that money was being sapped off oversea with multinational corporation globalist agenda, specifically china. If you keep those capital back home and reinvest in your infrastructure and neighborhoods with local investment capital then that's when you will see the real gain of trickle down economics. You need to adopt economic nationalism for trickle down economics to work. Reagan didn't do that he adopted trickle down economic but allowed the banker elites to finance china's growth.

We need to move away from being a protectorate to having real partners. Not deadbeats.

Uh did the Indians have a immigration policy for European settlers? No and that's why they were displaced. I just used your own logic against you....

You are conflating the differences between good immigration, LEGAL immigration and illegal immigration. Immigrants are great, 50 million of us are immigrants and the rest are decedents of immigrants. We are not anti-immigrant, get that in your head first please!!! The problem with illegal immigration is that it brings poverty along with crimes because those who enter illegally do not have the merit to enter legally in the first place! We need skilled immigrant who can work high paying jobs to provide for them selves. Not low income wage laborer who need social welfare support in the form of hospitals and school without paying taxes. Illegal immigrant don't have work visas and can't get high paying jobs. If they can't get high paying jobs then how can they lift themselves out of poverty??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Actually yes, the tax cut helps spending, along with reduce tax rates to do business. Actually if you think about it, gdp growth solves a lot of problem. yes tax cut hurt in the short run but with increased labor and people entering the work place you get more tax revenue. Growth reduces deficit.

Actually yes, crime and poverty goes hand in hand. Let me be clear I am not faulting the individual just the circumstances of their socio-economic ladder. Poverty does not discriminate. I have a lot of teacher friends who work in these under privilege area and I can absolutely tell you. Poverty is rampant amongst families of illegals. Similarly the crime rates for these neighborhood is also high. Trump is not a racist actually, you're believing the global banking elitist liberal view. Trump is a populist, an economic nationalist. Don't buy into the liberal views that we are racist, infact you'll lose another election if you subscribe to the liberal agenda of identity politics.

Stop it you Canadians are killing me with these tongue and cheek comments I'm just expecting you all to be polite conformist, don't change my southern views.

I knew it, all the similarities were starting to add up. Other than basic economic differences Bernie Sanders and Trump are the same. Steve Bannon Trump's chief political architect confirmed it. Forward to 22:50 The British seems to think so too https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/donald-trump-steve-bannon-alt-right-bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-anti-capitalism-together-a8076501.html

Back then the US was more concern with survivability by cramming in as many tool kit as possible, with the space it had. "We were told to value survivability and density because we were trying to pack maximum capability into the space that we have. That’s why you have what you have with the DDG-51 today. And they are hard to modernize because we valued survivability and packing the maximum capability into the minimum space. And we achieved that because that was the requirement at the time. " The requirements of the US navy currently is based on the littoral environment of the south china sea and missile defense. One of the reason they canceled the DDG1000 program other than cost was that they needed to field as many missile for the amount of space they had and the DDG-1000 was found inadequate.

Looks like future requirements are going towards modularity. Why, because we need a flexible navy to move at the speed of relevancy. This concept is not new and stems from many weapon system specifically small arms. Special Ops unit value flexibility more than anything on the battle field because it allows you to adapt, overcome and survive. The same could be said of larger weapon system such as a navy destroyer. The real challenge is how do you modernize ships built in the 70s and 80s when modularity was not a requirement without breaking the bank. Time for some creative engineering by our men and women of the Millitary Industrial Complex. https://www.defensenews.com/naval/2018/06/21/upgrading-us-navy-ships-is-difficult-and-expensive-change-is-coming/

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh lorde. Cheney is off his meds again. Quick canada send some free healthcare ourway!

Uh you mean when people stopped looking for job because they gave up during the obama era? Those kind of policies? Stock markets are mercurial, they're easily spooked and shouldn't be the basis of core economics indicators like actual gdp growth and jobs. Trump's policy are well informed and advised because it's countering China's and many other country's including you canada, predatory/protectionist economic policy, also its not about purely economic is it, lets face it its also strategic. Somethings are just worth the price like steel and aluminum. Also those economist who argue of a souring economy are only assuming that this trade war persist. What if we agree on a new Nafta as the mexican press pointed out they've actually agreed to and are now just waiting on trump after the midterms to sign off on the new deal. Don't forget we are a consumer economy that is very well diversified. Most of which are service sector jobs that aren't subject to many of the trade war fall out.

Trump is manipulable and tend to conflate issues. Helsinki is perhaps a reflection on how Putin is a master of statecraft. But more importantly, what can Putin actually control Trump with? If Trump is really compromised, then why is America's position on Russia is as unfavorable now than it has ever been. If the protest over Trump's comment has not shown the rest of the world that both Democrats and Republicans abhor Russia (puntin's syndicate) would it not be feasible to conclude that Putin's hold over trump if any is limited and perhaps a detriment. Objectively speaking I think Trump is more concern that by admitting that Russia meddled in the election it would undermine his election result. He's putting self before country and that's the real shame.

Its not just competition for jobs its changing culture and potential crimes. Don't pretend crimes don't rise with increased illegal immigration. It happens everywhere there are illegal immigrant from Europe to the united states.Legal Immigrants are good, so contrary to your "liberal" views most Americans think legal immigration is a great thing, where we differ is how who and where. Progressive advocate for a open border policy encouraging illegal immigration, conservative don't support open borders. They differ on who can get in and who can stay. But both want to see legal immigration through the vetting process and people with high skilled labor to contribute to society. We don't need low skill labor flooding the market and asking the state to pay for their welfare bringing along with them poverty and inevitably, crimes. I'm not committing sepuku by replying to your conflated views, simply stating the shortfall of your statements.

Oh then you'll love the shadow government comment by a ex cia director....Illuminati confirmed.

What if Trump is a genius and that the Helsinki press conference was actually a fourth level chess move. I mean if you look at the outrage today against Russia, it is unequivocally clear all Americans hate their guts.

Some of the meme coming out of the wood work are hilarious.

Actually the Europeans are quite wary of Chinese trade, its not free trade. China needs to adopt free trade but can't do it because their economy is largely export dependent. Monetary manipulation does not help their free trade clause, amongst many other trade tactics they've adopted over the years. https://www.ft.com/content/391637d2-215a-11e8-a895-1ba1f72c2c11

that should amount to treason under canadian law!

Its a bit ironic to sit there steaming about trump's remark in Helsinki when there were plenty of other remarks he made that offended a vast swathe of liberals. We were briefly on the same boat! But with that debacle over its back to fighting liberalism. Objectively speaking the US is doing stellar, great economy and great military. Who said you can't have both. The US is doing it so you nato deadbeat can too.

Im not sure if there were sexual relations with putin but there were definitely no political collusion ;D
