Trump Threatens to Send US Troops Into Mexico.

DA60 said:
That is ridiculous.

So your criteria is anything a leader does is okay so long as his people don't toss him out of power afterwards?

So invading countries is fine with you since many leaders have done it before and not been thrown out for it?

Slavery was okay with many POTUS's before it was finally outlawed...does that mean you are okay with slavery?
Many POTUS's were fine with women not being allowed to vote...does that mean you don't think women should vote?

Gotcha.

1917 was a totally different time than now...if you cannot see the difference, than you are not worth talking to on this.

See ya.

Where do you get that from? What I am saying is that Trump can do what he suggested legally.

I honestly hope he didn't say it. Because the last thing we need right now is a war with Mexico.

C'mon lady, war is good for Amerika. The Donald can declare martial law along the border. 15 years of war have done this country good, don't you think?

The mexican government says it isn't true

But the AP claims to have a transcript

So someone is lying and right now the responsibility falls on the AP to prove it isn't them

The Mexican government is like the Australian government in dealing with Bannon/trump.

They have more class in their middle finger than those two clear and present dangers will ever have and are covering for them .

You're correct to bring up martial law when referring to Bannon/trump .

There will be more Berkley style liberal riots than peaceful women's marches

What is the score so far? I peg it at 3.5 million on the peaceful side to less than a handful on the violent side.... and that is if you call a college football type rally bonfire violent.

Actually the violence is not the biggest problem

If the snowflakes burn down their schools they can attend classes in tents for all I care

But even the peaceful womens march was very intolerant of conservative women who wanted to participate

And it is the intolerance of opposing ideas that mark the snowflakes as a failed generation

Get over the hurt feelings.... what was that name you like to throw around???? oh yeah ... snowflake. The womens march was for a purpose and one of those was control over their own bodies. They felt that it was contrary to the marches purpose to have right to life participants. It would be akin to a Veterans Day parade having to give space to the Communist Party screaming "baby killers" as they marched. Some things just don't fit together.

That has nothing to do with intolerance. Its simply common sense.

I wonder how many of the 12,000 men who had been involved in that campaign went "over there," and how many of those doughboys felt the experience in Mexico helped train them.

As to Trump's presumed comments, I appreciate the value of the "purpose pitch." Suggesting you might take an extreme action in a way that leaves the other party unclear about how serious you are can be a very good way to make that party more cooperative.

I don't know, but Pershing taught us a few things about handling Islamists too. But that is another story.

Oh, so now the Associated Press is dishonest. I suppose only FOX has fair and balanced news?

The Associated Press was caught spreading a lie

And they have not fired the reporters and editors responsible

That makes them institutionally dishonest

Do you ever fell guilty when you pervert distort warp and outright screw up what somebody actually says so you can reply to what you want to reply to regardless of the previous post content?

It is common knowledge that the drug cartels ARE the Mexican government. Mexico is totally corrupt from top to bottom. Why should Trump be polite to a drug peddler flunky?

Someone should ask the question how the Drug Cartels became so rich in the first place to be able to corrupt the Mexican Government to such a massive extent... Why should the Mexicans be polite to the country that funded the criminal organziations that have caused them such problems?

They reported that the source was a leak in Mexico. Do you want this source to risk her life?

How convenient for the AP

And unfortunate for their reputation for honesty since they cannot confirm their story and it has been flatly denied by the president of mexico

Only a dwindling number of leftists are willing to just take their word for it anymore

This same AP sent investigators to Indonesia to verify that Obama did not attend a madrassa. Yet FOX News/Breitbart perpetuated that story for 8+ years. Who's the real villain here?
