With a net worth of four billion dollars that didn’t come from politicians he doesn’t own them a dime or a favor. So ‘Cronyism’ is out of the picture with him.<br />Why any man worth that kind of money would want to be president of now one of the most screwed up countries in the world is beyond me.<br />He says he want’s to make this country great again so I have to take him at his word.<br />He sure has stirred up the pot if nothing else at this point..

DONALD TRUMP’S r...Trump: The Politician of Hatred:<br /><br />DONALD TRUMP’S rapidly expanding catalogue of bombast is already a weighty tome, and it’s a fool’s errand to take each of his utterances seriously. Still, his loathsome comment on Wednesday, in which he excused violence against a Hispanic man in Boston as “passionate” acts of “people who are following me,” taps into a dark vein in American history and merits special attention.<br /><br />In the Boston incident, two brothers were charged with using a metal pole to assault a 58-year-old Hispanic man. The man, who was homeless, was left with a broken nose and other injuries to his face, arms and chest. “Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported,” one of the brothers, Scott Leader, told police, the Boston Globe reported.<br /><br />When Mr. Trump was told of the incident, in which the brothers also are alleged to have urinated on the man before beating him, he said the following: “It would be a shame. . . . I will say that people who are following me are very passionate. They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate.”<br />[...]<br />The truth is that Mr. Trump deliberately whips up popular rage for political advantage. By spewing hatred on the stump, Mr. Trump encourages it in the bleachers and on the streets, then sanctions it when it occurs. Remember: He also minimized the death threats Ms. Kelly received after his dustup with her, telling the Hollywood Reporter, “I’m sure they don’t mean that,” then pivoting to stress his “respect for the people that like me.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-29803838236376257602015-08-24T11:42:20.056-04:002015-08-24T11:42:20.056-04:00Thank you.

One solution was the Dream Act, which would have been a small step in addressing the thousands of children and young adults who were brought here as babies and toddlers by their undocumented parents. The D.A. spelled out very specific conditions that the young adults would have to conform to in order to earn citizenship. IIRC, they had to have stayed in school, graduated, not have a police record, among other requirements. These young adults know no other country but this one to which they were brought and where they grew up. They are culturally American, and Congress should have made the small step in granting them citizenship if they fulfilled all the requirements set out in the Act. Congress abandoned them, and now they are still in limbo, facing an uncertain future. What does it say about our political system that we can't solve our man-made problems?<br />In my opinionhttp://liberalopinions.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-21792075909052651822015-08-24T09:52:45.354-04:002015-08-24T09:52:45.354-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Yee Gadshttp://holyshit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-66767738400993896412015-08-24T09:48:34.291-04:002015-08-24T09:48:34.291-04:00Nobody has THE RIGHT to the fruits of my labors. ...Nobody has <b>THE RIGHT</b> to the fruits of my labors. <br /><br />Should I choose to share with someone that fruits of my labors that is <b>MY</b> business insofar as what I do is within the bound of law and do not promote subversion of the United States of America.<br /><br />If "the law is an ass," fix the law.
