"Dreamers" is a PC label that insinuates only illegals can be dreamers. The PC term also covers illegals who are criminals.
So, the “path” to citizenship is surviving the run through the mine fields and machine guns? That could work. Of course I’m joking, but I like the idea of a barrier that is not necessarily a wall.Quote:

"Can we call that treason? Why not," he added. He made the remarks during a speech at a manufacturing plant in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Embarrassing that our President would talk like this. He is making America dumber with every word he says or tweets.
He owns your soul. Your life revolves around whatever he says, and you obviously feel vastly superior to him (hey, but he's the narcissist, right?)Quote:

I have not added any substantial new positions, or increased any current holdings, during this run-up. I think the market is too bullish as the sector PEs are lagging behind. Most of us, with knowledge of the economy and the market, have been predicting this for 8 years!!! There was so MUCH cash sitting on the sidelines it was bound to re-enter the market in bucket loads and of course, there is always that over-zealous element.
I think the market will continue to correct...either in these pull-backs every couple of months, or in one huge "crash." Then the market will settle on a truer growth line, more in line with economic reality. So far....folks have put the cart before the horse, betting on the come.
Meanwhile, the economy has stabilized after 8 years of obummer, and it is poised to make real, sustained growth. The market will adjust to this real growth, and get back on a more realistic line.
Some so-called market experts are urging caution, and others are saying the market will continue to trend up, hitting 30,000 by year's end. Pick your poison...jump in and then suffer a pullback, or stay out and realize a year from now, 5 years from now, that you missed a huge opportunity.
For me, it's too rich. My portfolios are going thru the roof! I do not see any advantage in changing my cost basis (up), just to add some more shares. I have DRIPs and they are enough to keep my positions growing. For instance, my cost per share basis for J&J is $33. It's trading at about $150 now. Why should I add shares at this high price of $150 (outside of the DRIPs)?
Nah...invest in real estate, baby!
Or if you believe wages are going to increase, buy commodities.

In the clip I saw, Trump was smirking when he said that. It was another unpolished moment, but hardly dangerous. There is a 24 hour cable "news" cycle designed to keep people ginned up and as partisan as possible. Even your basic high-school dropout is an expert on politics, but it's mostly based on negative things they've been told about one of the political parties.
I am more worried about congress being hyperpartisan than I am about Trump being Trump. They don't even try to get together and work anything out. Every issue is used as fodder for the 24 hour cable news cycle, and virtually every member runs to whatever media adores them to spout their hyperbole about the other side. This latest statement is one of those moments, and I refuse to be sucked in.

I agree that the stock market is not a very good barometer for a president’s performance, and it isn’t even worth mentioning that the stock market went up more in Obama’s first year than Trump’s.

I preferred to not hate Obama, either. Once I allow that to happen, he has defeated me. In Trump's case, I prefer to neither worship him nor pay attention to the portrayals of him being evil incarnate. He is just a man that has thus far governed more as a conservative than either of his two self-proclaimed conservative predecessors. All this "he said this" or "he said that" stuff is just silly. He can be obnoxious...big deal. I have never seen so many put so much effort into hating one individual in my lifetime.
Hey, can someone explain to me why Trump is wanting to do a military style parade (I am picturing something similar to what we see N Korea do from time to time)? Just curious.
Some so called conservatives think this liberal would have been better. He'd have lost 2-1 to the obese female dog.

Dem Senator Who Hit Ex-Wife Gives 'No Comment' on Rob Porter...
Delaware senator Tom Carper, a Democrat who has admitted to hitting his ex-wife hard enough to give her a black eye, will not be commenting on the scandal surrounding spousal abuse by now-resigned White House official Rob Porter.
The accusations from Porter's two ex-wives of domestic abuse, which were bolstered by a photograph of one of them with a black eye she says was caused by Porter, was the top political story this week in Washington, D.C. Carper, however, has been silent.
"We do not have a comment on Porter," said a Carper spokesperson.
The Delaware Democrat first faced accusations of domestic abuse back in 1982 during his first run for Congress, but he called the accusation "without basis in fact" and prevailed in the election.
In a 1998 interview reported on late last year by the Washington Free Beacon, however, Carper admitted it was true all along.
"Did I slap my wife 20 years ago? Yes," Carper told Delaware reporter Celia Cohen. "Do I regret it? Yes. Would I do it again? No."
The story Carper initially called "totally false" was based on a 1981 court deposition that included Carper admitting to giving his now-deceased first wife "some discoloration of her left eye and some puffiness."
"I slapped Diane one time," Carper said in the deposition. "It was a stupid thing to do and I … regret it now. It caused some discoloration of her left eye and some puffiness."
Carper's office responded to a request for comment on the allegations against Porter by sending the statement he gave to the New York Times in December following the Washington Free Beacon‘s initial report on Carper's abuse, but said it would not comment on Porter.
In the statement, Carper again admitted he hit his first wife Diane, who he divorced shortly after the 1982 election.
"I have made many mistakes in my life and have always been willing to admit them," Carper said in the statement. "One of those mistakes took place 37 years ago when I slapped my then-wife, Diane, during a heated argument. It was wrong. I regretted it then and I still do today."

I hope if true he asked and begged forgiveness from his wife (if he was married yet also in 2005) and God. But I know that Trump is smarter vs. Pres.
