Protecting Donald Trump costs New York City more than $1 million a day: http://money.cnn.com/2016/11/21/news/protecting-donald-trump/index.html Hey I know...we can create a sales tax on all the stuff bought by illegal immigrants to pay for it! Oh...we're throwing them all out...guess not. But I hope Melania can get her hair done with all the traffic blockages around the tower.... Ron
This is Ron. Ron is shocked and appalled that the president elect needs protection. Don't be like Ron.
Guess Obama should not have signed into law a bill that gives former Presidents Secret Service protection for life. Instead of 10 years after leaving office, it is once again life because Obama signed it into law. Oh shit, forgot this was where we blame Trump for everything, even something that has been happening for 115 years.
Presidents have been living in NYC and costing NYC money for 115 years? Get your facts straight. Everyone knows the secret service costs money, but traffic control in NYC on a daily basis has not been part of the equation. Like father, like son: "[Fred] Trump was investigated by a U.S. Senate committee in 1954 for profiteering from public contracts, including overstating his Beach Haven building charges by US$3.7 million. In testimony before the Senate Banking Committee in 1954, William F. McKenna, appointed to investigate "scandals" within the FHA, cited Fred C. Trump and his partner William Tomasello as examples of how profits were made by builders using the FHA. McKenna said the two paid $34,200 for a piece of land which they then rented to their corporation for over $60,000 per year in a 99-year lease, so that if the apartment they built on it ever defaulted, the FHA would owe $1.5 million on it. McKenna said that Trump and Tomasello then obtained loans for $3.5 million more than the apartments cost.[14] Trump testified before the Senate Banking Committee the following month as it investigated "windfall profits." He said that builders would not have built apartments under an expired post-war loan insurance program if regulations had set inflexible limits on loans issued by the FHA. In September 1954, following Trump's testimony, 2,500 tenants of the Beachhaven apartments sued Trump and the FHA, claiming the builder made windfall profits and that the builder had received loans for $4 million more than the construction actually cost, and that rents were consequently inappropriately inflated. Folk icon Woody Guthrie, who from 1950 was a tenant in one of Fred Trump's apartment complexes in Brooklyn, criticized Trump as a landlord, penning lyrics which accused him of stirring up racial hate "in the bloodpot of human hearts"."

The object is to win the electoral college. Maybe setting foot in Wisconsin would've been a good idea.
If The Dunce builds his wall, do you think Hispanic NFL players will have to show citizenship papers when they cross back to the US after playing in Mexico? Ron
Now you have evolved into a complete fucking moron. Secret Service has been protecting Presidents for 115 years and cities have been bearing the cost of protection when the President or other dignitaries visit for even longer. You go ahead and keep acting like everyone else is the dunce if that's what your psychiatrist tells you is good for you. Don't expect everyone to play along though.
EVERYONE over the age of 16 must show a passport or other accepted document when coming back into the country. It's, ya know, the law....wall or no wall.
Actually no, as in East Berlin children under the age of 16 were detained when trying to cross back into West Germany. It happened to me.
"But we are told today that Sessions’ words—again, many of which he admitted to speaking aloud—do not in fact make him a racist. We should judge Sessions by his actions, we are told, as language tells us nothing about someone’s true character. But even the most cursory look at his actions suggest that his language of 1986 is perfectly aligned with his legal activities over the decades. Sessions spent his time in the Senate opposing any kind of immigration reform and supporting anti-immigrant extremist groups. He supports mass deportation and building a wall between the U.S. and Mexico. He has no problem with a religious ban on Muslims entering the U.S. He was virtually alone in his legal conclusion that what Donald Trump described in the Access Hollywood video was not technically sexual assault. He has vocally opposed marriage equality and civil rights protections for LGBT victims of hate crimes. He praised the Supreme Court’s decision to eviscerate the core of the Voting Rights Act. And of course as attorney general in Alabama in the early 1980s, he prosecuted a group known as the Marion Three for alleged voter fraud. As Ari Berman has described it, Sessions spearheaded a 1985 effort to charge three people, one of whom was 92 years old, with felony voter fraud for helping elderly black Americans vote in Alabama. A jury later acquitted them on all counts. Also he has advocated stripping funding from sanctuary cities. If Sessions’ character cannot properly be illuminated based on his words or actions, what, if anything, is still an indicator of a public figure’s core racial beliefs? But wait, we are told. Ignore Sessions’ actions as well as his language. We are not to draw any conclusions from any of the facts enumerated above because we don’t know him personally, and thus, none of us is in a position to judge. [Trump] has done an equally deft job in arguing that his actions too—ranging from his failure to release his taxes, his behavior toward women, his refusal to abide by the norms of good business—are not indicative of his character. Trump’s absolute mastery of the argument that neither one’s words nor deeds are good predictors of one’s convictions has now spread to the people with whom he has chosen to surround himself. Like him, they are distanced from everything they have either said or done with claims that nobody has the right to pass judgment; that we have no idea what’s in a person’s heart; that the real villains here are the ones who assume a person saying and doing racist things is racist. I cannot help but wonder what would happen if the entire American justice system were premised on the now-commonplace assumption that you can know nothing about anyone despite his words and behavior. This goes far beyond gaslighting. This is the suggestion that there is no wrongdoing that is ever provable (unless your name is Hillary Clinton)." Ron
