    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....

    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?

    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.

    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)."

    As you can see from his response to you, he is not the sharpest tool in the shed.
