We are perfectly capable of doing both at the same time.

We can bash Trump for being ridiculous enough to get rid of DACA in the first place, but also now go on to pressure Congress to uphold it.

In that case we should also bash the AGs who were ridiculous to push Trump into doing this too.

First of all, jealous of your weekend >:(
1. Trump will probably end DACA
2. Trump threatens to end U.S trade with any who deal with N.K (so...China)
3. Trump is contemplating withdraw from a U.S-South Korea trade deal
There's probably a few i'm missing, but you get the idea :p

This is the correct response, it was awesome.
1. Trump will probably end DACA

That's the one that lets people who were brought into the US illegally as kids stay put? Yeah, that sounds like something Trump wouldn't like.
2. Trump threatens to end U.S trade with any who deal with N.K (so...China)
3. Trump is contemplating withdraw from a U.S-South Korea trade deal

I'm too sunburned to facepalm. Especially Trump contemplating pulling out of a trade deal with South Korea. They're the entire basis of America's interest in the Korean peninsula.
There's probably a few i'm missing, but you get the idea :p

Same Trump, different day.

Don't forget the South Korea thing would go against his aides.

I also think Republicans in general would be rather pissed about the whole trade thing (Politicians anyway)

One imagines there are any number of defence contractors who'd be quite miffed at no longer being able to sell guns, etc. to South Korea.

Is the difference between Hillary and Donald's votes 2% or 4%?

UMN is arguing it's 2% because Trump got 46% of the vote, and Hillary got 48%, so 48%-46%=2%.

I'm arguing that he should subtract the percentages but the numbers of votes themselves, so 66,000,000-63,000,000=3,000,000, which is 4% of 66,000,000.

Or, 63,000,000/66,000,000=.96; 1-.96=.04=4%.

The difference is two percentage points.


Think about it like this: one is more than double the other.

I don't care what the cancers of Reddit think. There are supporters besides the Reddit cancer that do in fact support it.

Likely, but I doubt they are the majority that do so.

Until, I see the tape, (not exactly watch it) it doesn't exist. It's almost the same with claims of Aliens. It's a claim that needs physical proving to be proven true.

Hmm. I'm going to be very cautious about this. It sounds too plausible and I'm not good enough to detect fake news when it actually appears. Although,
Trump had paid prostitutes to urinate on each other on the bed that Barack and Michelle Obama had allegedly slept in

If true, this is the height of pettiness and disgustingness.
