Don't want to let JE down, but Holy Sheeit, we're gonna need to resurrect that net they spread across the opening to San Diego Bay back in WWII.

No tickee, no baby? Show me the money.

“I’ve been getting a lot of calls,” said Jacob Sapochnick, Immigration Attorney. “It's been around for the past five years, mostly in Los Angeles and the East Coast, but now we're starting to see it in San Diego."

U.S. baby births are a big business, especially in China. On the website usbabydiy.com, there are pages and pages of advertisements for birth centers, many of them found in San Diego. The ads offer room and board for several months, including, services for/after pregnancy and tout the best medical care money can buy.

“The behind it is have your baby in the U.S. the baby will become a US citizen,” said Sapochnick. “Having a baby here, there’s nothing illegal about it. It’s just people are making it into a profit industry.”

Sorry, Trump — It’s Totally Not Illegal To Dump You In Cleveland

Neither state laws nor party rules can block delegates from stopping Donald Trump, if they want to.

In fact, I find the signal-to-noise ratio has improved quite a bit lately.

Don't give me that, you snotty-faced heap of parrot droppings! Shut your festering gob, you tit! Your type makes me puke! You vacuous toffee-nosed malodorous pervert!!!

You are correct that I think that some big businesses, especially pharmaceutical, defense and financial companies, are operating as if they were the enemy.

If it looks like, walks, swims, flies, and quacks like a duck . . . . . . . . . . . . it's not WVB.

It's a duck.



Two examples:

Non-prescription asthma inhalers, costing less than $10 ten years ago, are no longer available in the United States. A prescription-only asthma inhaler that costs $5 in Mexico as a generic costs $75-$100 here as a brand-name item. There is no generic version of the prescription albuterol asthma inhaler available in the United States. The Mexican generic version contains the same medicine, same number of doses, and the same propellant. The only difference is that big pharma here is able to manipulate the FDA into providing and protecting monopolistic, non-free enterprise market behavior by the big corporations.


When Congress gave $700 billion (and more later) to big banks, to use for modifying loans, and preventing wholesale home foreclosures, they spent it on "performance" bonuses for the executives who caused the financial crisis. The banks didn't loan that money out, cheaply, to assist taxpayers and citizens, as they promised they would do. Instead, that money was used to offset the huge losses the banks would have otherwise seen when they foreclosed on thousands and thousands of homes, putting people out into the street, and taking possession of vacant, distressed properties.









TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHY BENEFIT THE WEALTHY, NOT SOCIETY AS A WHOLE


Kansas tea-baggers agitated to cut taxes on businesses and wealthy people, claiming it would boost the economy and benefit everyone. It didn't.

The Koch brothers, and their Kansas-based Koch Industries, were among the most virulent agitators for the massive tax cuts for themselves. They benefited, and the public lost.

TAX INCREASES FOR THE WEALTHY IN MINNESOTA RESULTED IN ECONOMIC BOOM

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/carl-gibson/mark-dayton-minnesota-economy_b_6737786.html






Your witness, counselor.







Because this is the Get Rid of Trump topic, I am obligated to point out that:

Trump has repeatedly said that if he is elected, he intends to give wealthy people and corporations big tax cuts.


http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/29/upshot/trump-plan-is-tax-cut-for-the-rich-even-hedge-fund-managers.html



Trump, the "political outsider" is simply repeating the same old, tired GOP party lie that letting wealthy people keep all their money will result in their spending (and not sequestering) that money in the most logical, economically beneficial and appropriate fashion, and that will benefit everyone in the nation.


How do Trump's gold-plated toilets in his Trump Tower penthouse benefit anyone, even Trump himself? By assuaging his considerable emotional problems that arise from a life-long inferiority complex that causes him to defiantly act out in a bizarre manner? By reassuring Trump that he's not an obnoxious ass-clown, but that he's The Biggest Winner?



Trump and his foul ilk should be heavily taxed, so that they can't afford gold toilets, and so that national infrastructure, public services, public education and investment in research for the future can be appropriately financed.

THAT is how to make America great again.

The Mind of Donald Trump

Narcissism, disagreeableness, grandiosity—a psychologist investigates how Trump’s extraordinary personality might shape his possible presidency.

By Dan P. McAdams
http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/06/the-mind-of-donald-trump/480771/

A cardinal feature of high extroversion is relentless reward-seeking. Prompted by the activity of dopamine circuits in the brain, highly extroverted actors are driven to pursue positive emotional experiences, whether they come in the form of social approval, fame, or wealth. Indeed, it is the pursuit itself, more so even than the actual attainment of the goal, that extroverts find so gratifying. When Barbara Walters asked Trump in 1987 whether he would like to be appointed president of the United States, rather than having to run for the job, Trump said no: “It’s the hunt that I believe I love.”

Researchers rank Richard Nixon as the nation’s most disagreeable president. But he was sweetness and light compared with the man who once sent The New York Times’ Gail Collins a copy of her own column with her photo circled and the words “The Face of a Dog!” scrawled on it. Complaining in Never Enough about “some nasty shit” that Cher, the singer and actress, once said about him, Trump bragged: “I knocked the sh#t out of her” on Twitter, “and she never said a thing about me after that.” At campaign rallies, Trump has encouraged his supporters to rough up protesters. “Get ’em out of here!” he yells. “I’d like to punch him in the face.” From unsympathetic journalists to political rivals, Trump calls his opponents “disgusting” and writes them off as “losers.”

The First Lady would be a libidinous exhibitionist? Who goes out naked in public, pointing a gun at people?


I guess that's one way to distract foreign heads of state while shoving protectionist trade agreements down their throats.

they have been very excited about having such a hot first lady.
She was/is a model, so it's all fair game.

Melania is the Magician's Assistant, misdirecting the audience's attention away from Trump's tiny fingers as they work their way into other people's pockets.




Melania initially rebuffed Trump's crude advances, because he was at the party with another woman.

They came to some sort of agreement later on.








Hi there. Would you go to bed with me for a million dollars?

Ooooooooh. Sure. Get me out of this dress and into a dry martini, Big Boy.

Well, how about I screw you, and then I give you twenty bucks and a subway token?

WHAT THE HELL???? What do you think I am? A cheap prostitute?

We've already established that you are a prostitute. We're just haggling over your fee.







From the look of Craig's photo above, it seems that their domestic arrangement requires Melania to wear a stainless steel chastity belt whenever Trump is not around.

i'd argue that both candidates have support that is based in less security than would be overall typical and this is likely going to be an entertaining cycle as the chaotic quality that trump brings, means he's likely going to keep throwing whatever pie he can get his grubby little fingers on at the nearest wall, in the hopes that it/something will stick, right up until voting day.
nahOOO

did you purposely leave out the fact that Cliton is a woman, and that there will be many who will vote undiscretionalary upon this fact alone? Especially the millennial women. Trump actually just spewed that he doesn't even care about the Men's vote's! He's now going after all the women's pie he can eat, heat, bake, persuade?

i guess now he'll be called a woman chauvinistic pie eating pig. lol


it's looking like hillary's almost seventy year odyssey towards being leader of the american people, continues to get more tantalizingly close by the day...

she might be 70, but how many years do you really think she's actually thought of being a president? i'd bet a cheesebuger it wasn't even her idea!

my complaint of her is that nothing she actually say's seems like her idea's

If it's a woman we want, why not Melania? i'm sure she can do everything hillary can!

A Jane Doe filed charges on June 18th that Donald Trump raped her in 1994 when she was 13. I assume that Klimmer had been meaning to post this but simply forgot. The "mainstream media" has not reported on this at all.



Her account is being corroborated by a witness:



It looks like she filed civil charges previously in California but they were thrown out: http://www.snopes.com/2016/06/23/donald-trump-rape-lawsuit/


It should be noted that Epstein has previously settled charges of having sex with underage girls and has ties to Bill Clinton. This could be messy all around.
