Jimmy Carter now 94 years of age had a call from The Golden Boy and it is reported that he told Donny the following
"Since 1979, do you know how many times China has been at war with anybody? None, and we the US have stayed at war. The US he noted has only enjoyed 16 years of peace in its 242 year history making the country "the most warlike nation in the history of the world." This is because of America's tendency to force other nations "to adopt our American Principles"

And to think the difference is if you take $3 Trillion and put it in American infrastructure you'd probably have $2 Trillion left over. We'd have high speed rail, bridges that aren't falling down, improved roads and an education system that would meet say that of Hong Kong's or South Korea, Carter said

You cant blame one Pres but you have to blame the voters who vote in Presidents that want to keep pushing and pushing the wrong buttons

Leaving aside the obvious criminality of the Orange presidency the sheer level of incompetence is mind blowing.

This POTUS is such a pathological liar you can never say for certain what is stupidity or a deliberate lie.

Tariffs are a tax on goods paid by the consumer. Trumpanzees, clearly not a well educated bunch, have adopted the Orange clown's misunderstanding of them.

This is a serious problem because the US is still a country most other democracies, especially in the developing world, take their lead from.

Tariffs are a tax on goods paid by the consumer.
Tariffs are taxes on goods paid by consumers IF CONSUMERS BUY THE GOODS.

Main Street still flourishes in the US despite the tariffs. Inflation numbers since the tariffs went into effect are no more than 1% overall.

Retail sales are UP. Those numbers were just released yesterday. The retail sector is up 3.6% year over year. Total retail sales in March rose 1.6% to over $500 billion. Economists expected only 0.9% growth in the retail sector.

None of those numbers reflect an economy that is being hamstrung by tariffs.

The US is not a democracy. It's a constitutional federal republic.

The lead that the Trump Doctrine is taking is totally free and fair trade. His levying of tariffs is only being used to counterbalance the screwing that the US had taken from supposed allies in trade over decades -- as Trump and trade officials have stated over and over and over again. The supposed allies aren't having it. They like the huge advantages that they have been allowed to realize. These supposed allies don't want free and fair trade.

The US has a socioeconomic makeup that allows the country to be independent of imported goods if consumers so choose to buy American.

Big Numbers Reported in US Markets

Source: CNBC

It was reported yesterday that over 75% of S&P 500 companies have reported gains that TOPPED ANALYST'S EXPECTATIONS.

The US doesn't look like a country being hamstrung by tariffs or consumers cutting spending. That is translating into achievement on Main Street and achievement on Wall Street. WIN WIN.
“What can we infer about the early 1Q 2019 reporters? The results are coming in ‘better than feared,’” wrote Nick Raich, CEO of The Earnings Scout. “While the rate of 1Q 2019 earnings growth (+5.60%) is down significantly from how these same companies grew 4Q 2018 earnings (+21.02%), it is positive growth and not the negative earnings growth so many were forecasting just a few weeks ago.”
The Commerce Department reported that the Retail Sector is up by 1.6% despite predictions below 1%.

STEADY WINNING.

Illegal immigrants in the US prison system

Source: US Department of Justice

21% of the population of Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is made up of Illegal Aliens. 38% of those in Marshall's Custody are Illegal Aliens (smaller period of sentence than necessary for BOP).

$500,000,000 million spent just in the Marshall's Custody. The costs are higher in the BOP.

46% of the Illegals are in federal custody for drug-related trafficking offenses -- massive loads of drugs -- not low-level dealers and users.

Additionally, most are multi-time ILLEGAL re-entrants into the country.

These numbers do not include local and state imprisonment numbers, the cost of that imprisonment, the cost of illegal aliens on city and state services to include education, health care, welfare, food stamps, charities that would otherwise be caring for American citizens.

That kind of thinking is straight out of Das Kapital. Even Bernie Sanders isn't that far left.

In case you missed it Communism and closed protectionist economic policy failed spectacularly. Even supposedly communist modern counties have accepted that philosophy is a disaster, with the exception of Venezuela and the Orange Kleptocrat's favourite North Korea.

It's truly mind boggling that the US is being lead down a path it sacrificed thousands of lives in multiple wars to avoid.

Only a rank, dismal-dreaming jolthead would think that a news headline contains all information from an article. Sources are provided so that readers can read for themselves.

However, the emotional investment and addiction explains the claim.

21% of the population of Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is made up of Illegal Aliens was reported by yourself on one site today. 21%

Then on another site you are reporting 25% of Prisoners are foreign born

So which is it or has someone misplaced 4% of the inmates and just cant find them, which could very well be possible
So its 2 questions , lost people or Fake news

I had to jump back and forth couple of times so put me done for 6 ticks on 2 sites , sorry

The depth of ignorance displayed on this forum is staggering.

Foreign born and illegal alien are not the same, FFS. How do you function in society under the burden of such incapacitating stupidity?

You need serious help to get through your addiction, frenzied emotional attachment to my posts and poor reading comprehension. You are in serious need of an intervention. Maybe your brigadier brothers will sponsor an intervention to help you through this.

I have only one question that you can answer for yourself to learn of the 4% disparity.

Do you know the difference between an ILLEGAL ALIEN and someone who is just FOREIGN BORN?

If I have to explain further, then you need more help than I thought.

You always allow your emotions to cloud your judgment.

I try to refrain from personal attacks, but you have shown yourself to be incapable, unintelligent and not possessing the knowledge or skills to keep up. You have made the same mistakes repeatedly in your quest to play gotcha. This time, you even admitted to re-reading it:
6 ticks on 2 sites.
The two news stories ALSO had two different sources, but I guess you missed that in all of your re-reading too.

A normal person would have realized that they're embarrassing themselves over and over and over again, but you don't care.

For your own good, you should seek peace and solace with your brigadier brotherhood.
