Well done Trump for offering to fight the Mex cartels
I am not sure what was well done about this. If the White House issued a statement that President Trump had contacted the Mexican President and they had developed Strategy "X" which involved the US doing "Y" to deal with the cartels, I would consider that "well done". For him to tweet something that is quickly rejected publicly by the Mexican President is not doing something well to me.
Had a second thought on this one. I like it when I offer to help someone move or something like that and then they let me know that I don't need to show up. Its like, "Hey, I'm a great guy for volunteering but didn't have to do any work. Sweet!" Perhaps President Trump volunteered to help (granted it wasn't his sweat and blood) knowing that he wouldn't have to follow through. Worked to get him a "well done" here.

trump: "I have a great healthcare plan. A bigly plan. No one knows healthcare better than me. I will announce my plan after I win the 2020 elections. 'Vote trump 2020' if you want great healthcare." Is the Brooklyn Bridge still for sale? No, but I hear some Trump properties may be hitting the market soon...

All he has to sell is his brand. After the house impeachment his brand will take a beating. I doubt he is impeached by the senate and removed, but still he is hated by a lot of people. From what I'm reading revenues are way down at his businesses, hum. We can see that by the election last night. Things are turning. I figure they want to take the money and run.
Then I wonder if he is heading to Florida to be with his new spiritual advisor Paula White. A televangelist who wears skin tight clothes. Has been in private meetings with him over Christian conferences "or Something". She has been investigated, declared bankruptcy, accused of heresy by other Christian groups, been married 3 times and supposedly had an affair with Benny Hinn. This is his new Christian advisor in the WH. She is in Opalacka, Florida now I believe. Maybe potential wifey number 4?? I saw on one of her videos how she said yes, she realized she was cute, like wow.

Make drugs legal, and the cartels will disappear.

Because if Trump put it out there, anything Trump does , you hate it and are against it! You claim that all the time. ALL the time. I could say that, no matter what the subject, who posted it, or what anyone says about it, you immediately scream that everyone on the board will hate it, or agree with it, whichever is anti Trump.
It seems to me that you're the one with the extreme knee jerk reaction, not the left leaning posters here.
Why not let people respond, and then respond directly to what they actually say?
Personally, I think it would be a great idea to get rid of the cartels. Then maybe fewer people will feel the need to illegally escape to our country. If Trump has a legitimate way to help Mexico do that, why wouldn't I be for that?
I say legitimate because I haven't read the whole article. If he wants to start shooting all Mexicans who approach the border, I would have a problem with that, as would most other Christians.
We can start down a list, What was the opinion of Trump pulling troops out of Syria?

Will need you to supply some context to go with your chosen smiley. A link to a relevant article would do nicely. Thanks. mmhmm, Politics Moderator Once again Trump simply says what most normal Americans are thinking. Who is the second politician in my lifetime that has realized winning is as easy as doing with the majority of Americans reasonably think got to be done.

I get that but notice how he said it and it was quickly rejected by the Mexican President. He is that loud mouth at the end of the bar proclaiming what should be done and then staggering home at closing time.

If the White House issued a statement that President Trump had contacted the Mexican President and they had developed Strategy "X" which involved the US doing "Y" to deal with the cartels, I would consider that "well done". For him to tweet something that is quickly rejected publicly by the Mexican President is not doing something well to me. It's not doing something well nor is it doing something new. He sends out pointless and generally fact-free tweets on a daily basis, I can't fathom what about this one warrants a "well done". Honestly, I find the right-wing outrage over these killings bizarre and perplexing. What about these particular killings has the right wing cheering for action? Mass shootings of Americans actually on American soil happen all the time, and have generally resulted in the exact opposite response form the right....that now is most decidedly NOT the time for action, just thoughts and prayers. Americans have to get killed in Mexico by dirty brown Mexicans for the GOP to give a shit or believe that something ought to be done to stop it I guess? Although I'd wager had initial reporting been the slightest bit different and instead stated that 9 Mexican religious cult members (I have no idea if this has been verified but outlets are reporting they had dual citizenship) were killed by other Mexicans, no one on the right would have been interested or concerned.

Though again, why they value action for this shooting and not all the other mass shootings is....telling. I'd say "it's a mystery", but it's not. If white people are killed by Mexicans or other brown people it's a horrific crime that requires action. If humans of all shades are mowed down in America by a white guy, well that's the price of freedom.

If white people are killed by Mexicans or other brown people it's a horrific crime that requires action. If humans of all shades are mowed down in America by a white guy, well that's the price of freedom. It is not just that they were killed by Mexicans though: there we can "tough" and oppose weapons in the hands of anyone not police or military or something like that. Here, just mentioning any type of checks or control is met first with "now is not the time" and quickly followed by "my rights , you can come and pry my gun out of my cold dead hands"
Let's be honest here. This was a terrible crime but there have been so many mass shootings here in the last couple of years with more victims than this, that we refuse to take action on that really the only rights we have here is cowering in a corner ashamed of our inactions at home. Offering to help fight "a war drug cartels" in Mexico is something only a baboon would applaud (with my sincere apologies to actual baboons) if you take into account the source of many of the weapons they use and their export market.
