    Exactly. He sees himself as royalty, but the concept of noblesse oblige is totally foreign to him. The Kennedys, on the other hand, also had their share of issues but even though they were also wealthy and privileged, they understood and practiced the principle.

    If they are American citizens, they are free to go anywhere in the country to escape their "plight," aren't they?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Sounds exactly backwards.

    It is really the right which wants to remove the separation of church and state, and also demands that we officially become a Christian nation. Sessions had to get slapped down for putting the ten commandments on a government building.

    If I were a (D) legislator, I would negotiate publicly by saying "Okay, we will endorse the funding for the wall, but we are going to fund it by cutting an equal amount of money from ____ [pet programs of the (R)s like defense budget]."
    If Trump wants the wall that he promised us he would get the Mexicans to pay for, then HE NEEDS TO GET THE MEXICANS TO PAY FOR THAT WALL.

    I don't like being lied to.

    I don't understand why Trump supporters accept being lied to.

    I know they have no respect for other cultures, but apparently they have no self-respect, either.

    What kind of mixed up person accepts being lied to by the person they trust?

    If you respect yourself, you do not accept it when people you trust lie to you.

    Being lied to by the person you trust should be a warning signal you cannot ignore!!!

    Not surprised that you are unable to understand stats. Or you are lying. Either case, it is about your and your lack of firing neurons.

    Well, they were from such old money they grew up searching for meaning.

    Trump grew up searching for any means to get wealth and not get arrested. Going to court? No problem, part of 'the game' for him. Just another tool in the box.

    Oh we all are, like the bible and the constitution; the First amendment is not so much for anyone adhering to, but rather for bludgeoning non-group thinkers with.

    Excellent point. Several of my friends/ instructors have family members who went to boarding school. As you might imagine this issue is causing a lot of angst and anger.

    America is a schizophrenic society. We bomb the living hell out of other nations for doing what we do.

    And this isn't a "racist" statement.
    It's a fact illegals are taking good jobs from Americans who want to work but have no other marketable skills.
    Enough. America First.
    Oh don't hand me that crap. It's those who are employing non-citizens who are the real criminals. Want to stop the immigrants from coming here? And BTW thanks to E-Verify illegal immigration has dropped off substantially. Works a hell of a lot better then putting children in concentration camps to win brownie points from the low end of the electorate. Maybe it would be more effective to jail those criminals who are hiring illegal immigrants?

    And what kind of a pathetic loser is a citizen of this country that they are competing for jobs with illegal aliens? Do you have any idea the only kind of jobs that are available to them? If you're an American citizen and you're competing at that level well it sucks to be you, cause you're a pathetic loser. Blaming illegals for their inability to develop marketable job skills is derka der non sense.
