You've never crossed into Mexico? Let me assure you there are walls and fences. It worked well for decades as the illegal traffic was comparatively small.

Jimwd Posted January 10, 2019 Report Posted January 10, 2019 I crossed into Mexico and rode all the way to costa Rico on a motorcycle. There are unmanned border crossings into Mexico. Into United States where there is high population Centers with thousands of people on both sides a wall is the division, walls built across deserts in remote areas are a waste of money but more Importantly ,it’s about trump’s hate speech and attacks on immigrants. His fear mongering .catering to a base of ignorant,fearful fools, Quote

OftenWrong Posted January 10, 2019 Report Posted January 10, 2019 Trump approval rating hasn't budged in over a year, hanging at the 40% level. https://news.gallup.com/poll/203207/trump-job-approval-weekly.aspx Looks like that slow painful death is gonna be really slow... Quote

Its not about deer hunting or ghost guns. Its about the protection from tyranny. It is no accident the 2nd amendment comes second to free speech. The founders felt that the protection from tyrrany was important enough to enshrine it in the constitution as the very first and second founding principle. They were meant to complement each other. Barking without fangs is meaningless I think the 2nd Amendment made sense early on in Post-Revolutionary America when there was suspicion about takeover by the English. The early US forces were built on such local militias. Fast forward 200 plus years to a time of a very large population with modern pressures and fully automated weapons. How many armed people are there with mental health issues or who are just plain sadistic? Now people are arming up to protect themselves from each other, not the government. So at the very least you need to ensure guns don’t get into the wrong hands, and I believe, phase out public access to automatic weapons. It means gun control. I also think the inner city and disenfranchised folk need to feel they can participate in the American Dream, obviously. A polarized public, especially along socioeconomic lines, doesn’t help reduce crime. I don’t know how or if such policies could be implemented, but something needs to be done to protect your society.

In a two party system that's not very good. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/ Obama's never got below 40% and Dubya's never got below 50% What has changed is the people who were ambivalent towards him in 2016 (allowing him to be elected with less votes than Romney got in 2012) now are starkly opposed to him. We see that with the best Democratic House performance in a Mid-Term since Watergate. Quote

Wrong. . Far more Americans voted for dems midterm than those that voted for gop in Obama midterms, 45% gop. 53% dems. One of the largest disparities since Nixon, seats ...didn’t reflect it because of Republican Gerry mandering but the will of people was clear. Edited January 11, 2019 by Jimwd Spelling Quote

OftenWrong Posted January 11, 2019 Report Posted January 11, 2019 It's amazing that Trump is still polling as high as Obama at this point. This despite the intense media insanity he faces, which he somehow thrives on. Trump is like leadership inverted. The louder that liberals whine, bitch and moan about him, the more people want to support him. Liberals just don't get that. Quote

I guess when trump attacks pows,gold star families ,and flies to Iraq to lie to the troops it upsets some,. Some still care about honesty or integrity. Or maybe watching mobs doing the lockstep monkey chant”lock her up” bringing shame and disgrace to America, And others just care about making excuses for why trump lied about russian contacts .of course with manafort proof of collusion now ..it’s all going to come crashing down Quote
