Step 2 is turrets for the wall that kill anyone that gets within 300 yards, step 3 is getting the whole length patrolled by sentient AI hunter-killer robots. Pretty sure step 4 involves humans being used as batteries for sentient AI hunter-killer robots for no adequately explained reason. oh i see, very good idea, no problems.

Serious question, if the drug trade is so bad, why don't we do a joint operation with Mexico to try to investigate, try, and jail drug dealers/drug lords combining the resources of both of our federal buereus of investigations? I know why Trump won't, but why not in general?

Before PAN swept away nearly a century of PRI rule drug cartels were like the 4th branch of government.

At this point the military should just send a stealth plane and eliminate air-force one over international waters on his trip to Paris. No one knows where Donald Trump is to this day. And don't worry, if the military really did go so far to remove the President at this point, Pence and the rest of the Trumpenstaffel wouldn't last that long either.

Anyone want to invest in my new venture? I'm gonna start up pigeon farms across the border, the allure of countless small innocuous birds flying to and fro will be irresistible to drug dealers who get tired from throwing heavy sacks over the wall. Heh, catapults and such are money pits and easy targets. No one will suspect the birds. It's guaranteed profit!

Regarding Trumpcare, it already died in the House once only to be resurrected even worse than before. The GOP leadership is making an open mockery of the "moderates." I think freaking out about AHCA/BCRA until it's so buried that Republicans throw their hands up and move to tax reform is fine, but channel that freaking out into something productive.

exploded mummy posted:That's my understanding, more or less. I'm not a lawyer and I can't claim that I'm familiar enough with labor law. I am familiar with the evolution of the business of the last 20 or 30 years. This is from a few pages back, but in Hollywood at least, if you work in entertainment you're almost always an independent contractor but can get access to pay standardization and health care through the various guilds and unions. For example, once an actor is able to join SAGAFTRA, they know that if they're booked on a job they'll always make at least the scale rate for the type of production, have access to the guild health plan, and there's also a retirement pension plan. I'm guessing wrestlers don't have any kind of union, right? Does the WWE provide any kind of healthcare or pension for these guys who spent their lives jumping through folding tables?

Representative Steve King posted:For everyone who’s a valedictorian, there’s another hundred out there who weigh a hundred and thirty pounds—and they’ve got calves the size of cantaloupes because they’re hauling seventy-five pounds of marijuana across the desert. Those people would be legalized with the same act.

Remember when Obama had to pull teeth to get the Swiss government to give up even a small amount of literal secret bank account tax dodgers and scammers? The Swiss reaction was to make it nearly impossible for Americans in Switzerland to open bank accounts now. Trump is in for a hard awakening.

They'll pay for surgeries and rehab for injuries suffered in their rings. They will also pay for drug rehab, since so many people they've previously employed have died from drug use over the years and they don't want the PR hit. Otherwise they get no retirement/pension/healthcare and there is no collective bargaining/union.

Trump's wall will be just like the existing walls and fences. It might even be a cyber wall in places. Trump will be very proud of the wall and the supporters will be happy America got the wall. Paid for by tarrifs on Mexican beer (and mostly the taxpayer).

I think Burger king bought them. As a Canadian I always found it amusing that Yanks would go traveling with Canadian flags on their backpacks during the Dubya years. Why have a flag at all? What if some local sees the flag and starts asking you questions about Canada? Do you know what the national animal is? What about the national sport (it isn't hockey). Now, if the local asks you were you were from I guess you can say Canada, but you don't have to wear a flag to prove it. As for the Texan, just say you are from Alberta. Same kind of dickishness so a local will believe you.
