So, if I have this right, based on this recent legislative meeting Trump had with congressional bigwigs, everybody in the legislative swamp is a great, great person and Trump will be on board with signing whatever they pass, even he doesn't like it, because they are such tremendous folks and all. The system works better, it seems, when the earmarks and pork are flowing because things get done...just maybe don't let it get out of hand this time around. And pass a "clean DACA bill" (in other words, the Trump side getting no concessions from it) and Trump will race to sign it for those Dreamers.
Dramamine, anyone?

No, it works best when people compromise. Instead of demanding everything, or nothing.

And pass a "clean DACA bill" (in other words, the Trump side getting no concessions from it) and Trump will race to sign it for those Dreamers. Dramamine, anyone? No, the reason that seems to work is because of something called "dominance hierarchy". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominance_hierarchyA hard wired social instinct present in most monkeys and some humans. The humans who are evolved enough to make decisions for themselves are the humans who are not Republicans. www.psychologytoday.com/blog/games-primates-play/201203/social-dominance-explained-part-iHence, Republicans establish a pecking order among themselves based on who is the most powerful instead of being based around who has the best ideas. Which is why wealthy people more often than not are very stupid and immoral, because most likely they got wealthy by breaking laws with impunity and by harming other people. Whereas poor people are poor either because they are disadvantaged or because they are unwilling to do the kinds of immoral things that would result in that kind of immense wealth. Which unfortunately the way that Capitalism is set up, it is impossible to get to a top position of having wealth without being the most ruthless psychopath around who of course avoids getting caught and brought to justice for their crimes against humanity. Wrong... Because Donald Trump gets his border wall in exchange for "clean DACA bill" which Trump and the Republicans can repeal at any time as long as Republicans still have control of the Whitehouse, the House of Representatives, and the Senate. So Trump and the Republicans get their border wall cheap for a harmless concession that the Trump administration has no intention of keeping.

Liberals have been singing this song since the 1980's. It's funny really....Liberals are all about keeping a steady supply of this under-class/slave labor flowing into this country. I love it when the liberal shrieks "Well who is going to pick the lettuce for my sandwich!" in defense of illegal immigration. They (liberals) are the biggest hypocrites you will ever meet. And they are generally too stupid to even see it.

And they are generally too stupid to even see it. Yeah, find someone else to accuse quickly to use as a misdirect. Because everyone knows that lettuce eaters cause lightning... Actually the poor and under-class mostly consist of native white and black people who are unwilling to do the kinds of immoral things that would make them wealthy. Nobody ever got rich by doing good honest work at a gas station or grocery store. Under the Capitalist system, the only jobs that will earn you real money always involve harming other people in some way. That is what competition is, survival of the fittest, which always involves beating someone else out of a job so that you can take their place. The very nature of Capitalism always involves capitalizing on or profiting off of causing the misfortune of others which is why it is called "Capitalism".

Do you understand that pumping gas or being a teller at a grocery store is not the same thing as being a heart surgeon? Do you understand why the check-out girl gets paid less than the aircraft mechanic?

Do you understand why the check-out girl gets paid less than the aircraft mechanic? Do you understand that mechanics get a very poor return on the money they have to invest in college in order to become a mechanic? The same goes pretty much for any job that requires a college degree, the interest on the loan is so high that you will end up paying out more than half your earnings for the rest of your life. Most doctors just barely make ends meet with a upper middle class lifestyle. And being a doctor frequently means working 12 or 16 hour shifts. But what if I told you that there is another way, an unethical way to make tons of money which is what most of the really insanely rich people do. Although I am not allowed to tell any of you how it is done because that would be breaking the law even though I don't do any of those things, just telling any of you how to do it could land me in jail or prison. Chalk it up to my insatiable curiosity and desire to obtain forbidden knowledge. With the acquisition of forbidden knowledge comes great responsibility. (forbidden knowledge in that the general public isn't supposed to know any of that stuff) I suppose I might could become very rich if I were willing to throw away all of my ethics and values. However I am fairly certain that I am not going to do that.
