    Obama just had a big joint press conference with the President of Mexico after they had a one hour meeting. President Nieto said he invited both candidates but only one showed up.

    ETA: They showed great mutual respect.

    Hillary, who hasn't held a public press conference all week, said:

    "Getting countries working together was my job every day as your secretary of state. It's more than a photo op. It takes consistency and reliability. Actually, it's just like building personal relationships. People have got to know that they can count on you, that you won't say one thing one day and something totally different the next."

    She's confusing diplomacy with getting foreign leaders to donate tens of millions of dollars to the Clinton Crime Syndicate. That takes more than a photo op, it takes lots of deleted e-mails. :bergman:

    He doesn't have to discuss it with them because his idea was to tax remittance payments (personal cash transfers to Mexico from American banks).

    Um, no. His idea was to threaten doing so as leverage for discussions with the Mexican government. Of course that only sounds good to idiots like you, because such remittances are almost impossible to trace on the sending end, and therefore not particularly taxable.

    I would point out that you typed Obama when you meant Trump.

    But why bother? Look at that, I did!

    ABC, US News, and everybody else have looked at the idea since May and it's entirely doable.

    The Mexican president has said that he flat out told trump he won't be paying for the wall which contradicts trump's claim that it wasn't discussed at all.

    Bad lies trump!! Sad!

    The Mexican president won't be paying for the wall, Mexicans will. :storm:

    But it doesn't matter if we pay for it because the important thing is to get it built. Congress keeps voting to build a wall but nobody builds anything.

    It will probably cost less than the amount that Hillary has gotten in bribes from big oil companies and foreign dictatorships.

    Byron York: Mexico gamble a huge win for Trump

    And he lays out the obvious. Trump stood toe-to-toe with a foreign President without any problem at all. They disagree on many key issues yet had a productive dialog and showed each other great mutual respect.

    Meanwhile Hillary was at a $25,000 a plate fundraiser in the Hamptons with Jon Bon Jovi (54), Jimmy Buffett (69), and Paul McCartney (74), where she raked in $3.7 million in cash from the elite millionaires and billionaires who've rigged the system.

    Trump has been everywhere, while Hillary rests for a week between fundraisers for elites.

    Louisiana flooded and Trump was there. Hillary is still missing on that one.

    Wisconsin rioted and Trump was there. Hillary is still missing on that one.

    The President of Mexico invited Trump and Hillary to show up. Only Trump went. Hillary gave a speech to a half empty hall and went to a fundraiser.

    Trump is acting like a President. Hillary is acting like a greedy incontinent grandma.

    Mexico is not going to pay the wall period. You and Trump are delusional.

    Mexico receives about $25 billion a year from remittance payments from the US. We already have mechanisms in place to control and track those so people in America can't wire money to various terrorist groups and drug cartels.

    The other option is to just roll our tanks to Mexico's southern border, where it would be much easier to build a wall that would protect both Mexicans and Americans.

    He turned dinosaurs loose to eat tourists.

    [​IMG]

    That just added to his $37 million dollar fortune, giving him just enough money to warrant attention from Hillary. Little people don't matter to her, as can be seen in her pilfering of aid for Haitian earthquake victims, or her refusal to oppose Boko Haram, or her destruction of the lives of any woman her husband raped.

    And none of that is going to mean a damn thing because the Hillary ass-kissers do not care what Trump or anyone on the right does.

    And Trump? Hell a sizable chunk of the Republican party has said no. Continually. Just like they did during the primaries. Too many people split up the Republican vote early in the primary, a bunch of idiots didn't get out when they should have (Kasich, Rubio, Bush) enabling Trump to keep dividing and conquering. But the majority of Republicans? Always voted for someone other then Trump.

    Hillary is winning this thing barring she dies or something comes out that just makes it impossible for her to be POTUS much less run for the office.

    In that situation Kaine would probably beat Trump as well.

    So, I've started thinking of the avatar that Ancles is going to wear when Trump and his advisers gang rape what the Hildabeast considers her campaign.

    I'm thinking either something from goatse or photo of plebmobiles waiting to get crushed.

    This might work for Trump's Phoenix speech on immigration.

    Every time I wake up and put on the latest news cast on what Trump has gone and said now, I still can't understand how you guys are taking him seriously. He doesn't even want to be president, the whole thing was a big publicity stunt and it just rumbled on. He's saying stupid shit now just to torpedo his own campaign and it would appear a sizeable proportion of your country are too stupid and take it at face value.

    Lat nights highlights..... "we will build a beautiful wall" "two million criminal aliens deported in his first hour in office".................. " bringing in extreme vetting of immigrants"

    The guy is off his rocker, and he he will no-doubt coin it in from books, speeches and all sorts of other publicity once he gets his beat down and kicks up a stink.

    By the way, none of the above assumes that Hilary is a whiter than white candidate, she is just the best of bad bunch....... by a clear margin.

    Don't forget those special sensors for the tunnels! He specifically asked you to remember those!

    He's also planning to set giant mousetraps baited with tacos (from Trump Tower, they make the best ones!) to catch immigrants. Or Speedy Gonzales. Though his followers doubtless assume they're the same thing, hence why Obama has never caught them.

    It is like some kind of never-ending semi-funny comedy sketch.
    I think you lot should vote him in, just to see what happens, it just might be funny as fuck :)
