    Not only is the average annual growth rate of just 1.48% during Obama's business cycle the weakest of any expansion since at least 1949, he has just become the only President to have not had even one year of 3% GDP growth. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-...r-3-gdp-growth

    Barack Obama will be lucky to average a 1.55% GDP growth rate. This ranks Obama as the fourth worst presidency on record. Barack Obama will be the only U.S. president in history who did not deliver a single year of 3.0% + economic growth. [url]https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/04/simply-worst-obama-first-president-ever-not-see-single-year-3-g

    Damn that is ridiculous. When Obama came into office the wonder right wing policies of Bush had crashed the economy and we were talking about a 2nd great depression. At the end of Bush's term we lost 800,000 jobs in one month. Homes were being foreclosed by the millions. Businesses and banks were being shuttered. Obama managed to bring the economy back to a solid base . It was a great achievement.
    The trajectory of the economy that Obama handed over is the same as it is now. It was on a slope up. Since it was, the first day and every day since, Trump has claimed credit for what Obama did. His policy did not impact the Obama economy for over a year ,when he got the debt creating tax cut through and it started to impact.

    If you are so "confused" and so concerned, and you are making this your business to know, perhaps it's time for you to get your fat ass up and go and see for yourself WTF is going on down there. Instead of trying to make your own assessment about what is still needed on the Border and what is not.

    Let me just tell you that there is a natural border between the two countries where the rabbits wouldn't go, mountains, rock escarpments, rapid White Water River steep wall canyons, dangerous desert, hundreds of miles from nowhere on the Mexico side, and as much as 50 miles from the nearest road on the US side.

    You're always welcome to go and hike the desert from the nearest road in America to the nearest road in Mexico by foot and let us know how that worked out for you!

    Big Bend National Park is stretched out about 118 miles along the Texas/Mexico border. Along the river are canyons walls no one would ever try to climb!

    But, you ROBO genius are welcomed to try! LOL!

    Again. if it is so easy and so common that people are walking through spots with open borders, why do they take the time, trouble and expense to dig tunnels? Why do they go through the ports of entry in massive numbers? They could just walk through the open borders that upset the rightys so badly.

    We have fencing where it is needed. Trump wants to put it where it is not needed. He wants to do that because he lied about people using those areas and he demonized brown people as rapists and murderers. He lies about the crime in ElPaso and whether the fence did anything about it. The rights have no sales resistence. If Trump says it ,they buy it.

    Truth is neither is the ports on entry. Fact is Americas appetite for drugs will be served by somebody. Call drug addiction a medical condition and deal with it. Demand will be filled. We have taken out lots of drug cartels and you can still buy drugs at most street corners in America. Stop the demand.
    So you finally got off your "ALL" lie about the ports of entry.

    So what's wrong with stopping it all together, so ALL do have to come through ports of entry?

    There are records of criminal hearings and trials. The numbers have been on the decline for several years.

People cross our border without permission and we may only hold them for a judges determined amount of days, and then the judge says we have to release them into America’s population without reservation. If that’s the written law, it sucks! It’s stupid and we might as well not have any border or any authority to have any control over it at all, exactly what y’all leftist promote and love.
    You know we have a problem with insufficient revenue and insufficient pay-in to Social Security and Medicare. If we let more young workers into the country and they pay in on these things it not only addresses those shortfalls, but it also contributes to the economy and the GDP.

    We need more judges because the backlog of people showing up for hearings has exceeded the capacity of the number of judges we currently have. Do you have any supporting evidence that asylum seekers are removing ankle bracelets?

    Immigrants contribute to our economy. If you are invested in companies that sell them things then you are making money off immigrants.

    For some reason this is exactly what way to many people are missing.

    It's not about catching them AFTER THEY ENTER ILLEGALLY, it's about stopping them from entering illegally.

    Sorry. That is more than simply my opinion. It is fact. They report real stories. They are not fake. They are part of the "4th Estate," a vital part of our country, exercising the freedom of the press. Thus they are the friends of the people, checking up on our government, reporting back to We, The People. There is a huge difference between communist government news services and these free press establishments upholding the vital 1st Amendment rights.

    Mistaken stories are quite rare. They vet their stories in an effort to keep retractions to a minimum. This is the same press that existed before President Trump was elected. Think about it. If only one news source (Fox) was doing so well by bringing 'the real stories,' why would there not be more competition? If Fox has the highest viewership, and the others who are 'reporting fake news' are struggling for market share, why would they not change their format and begin competing with Fox for Presidential-supportive news? It makes no sense that only one news service would present 'the real news,' and all the others are fake, and hurting themselves by not competing directly with Fox.

    That's an exaggeration. I don't recall a single story of President Trump being convicted. We will all have a better understanding of the issues if we avoid exaggerations and stick to actual events that really occurred.

    Please present supporting evidence of a Trump conviction? (If you have it.)

    It would be helpful to get the facts straight. President Obama [It is disrespectful to use a derogatory term for his name) was mostly very honest. President Trump has been caught in thousands of lies.

    That's just whataboutism. It amounts to blocking out bad news about President Trump by substituting something bad about Democrats. Can you talk about President Trump without giving him a free pass by essentially saying if those other guys did something wrong that makes it OK for Trump to do it too? First of all, if you were not happy with it when the others did it, then you should not be making excuses for it when President Trump does it. You should be equally bothered by the same transgression no matter who commits it. Just because somebody else did something wrong does not make it OK for another person to do that wrong thing again. Wrong is still wrong.

    They are mainstream because they have the most reliable reputations for accuracy, and are the most popular news sources. That's why they are called main stream.

    News sources and the government are both powerful institutions, no doubt. We do need to trust them but we also need to verify they are doing their job properly. True power lies with We, The People. That is why an excellent public education system is so important. We need to teach our young how our government works and the importance of staying well informed and actively engaged in the political process.

He said one thing in the SOTU speech and did the exact opposite. You've ignored what he said in the SOTU speech and substituted an instance when he said something else in order to justify believing that he didn't really lie. The only reason somebody would do that is because they are simply looking for a way to justify their support. That's giving him a free pass that I and the rest of the world refuse to give him because he doesn't deserve it. Nobody does. It's changing the rules to find a way to make what you want true.

    Trump blatantly lied, you obviously refuse to accept that, wouldn't accept it if it were true (which it is) so you've found a way around it.

Trump has proposed that the majority of new “LEGAL” immigrants coming to America should be vetted as to their talents, abilities and education And abilities to come here and be self supporting and be a viable contributor to America’s society, economy and traditional culture. Again, I agree! Those should be the majority legally coming to America and they should be advanced to the head of the line and only the remaining allowance be given to a lesser qualified people. So, you see friend, Trump DOES want more people to come to America, he simply wants the Untired, the Unpoor and the folks pineing to be free and who want to contribute to America as well. And by the way friend, the inscription on the statue of liberty was written by a bleeping socialist.
    Just because Trump says one thing on one occasion and the opposite on another does not mean you can simply pick whichever one favors your argument at the time!

    It means he is full of baloney and should be called out on it. Believing propaganda is very dangerous. It could lead to fascism. That has happened before. It is NOT OK.
