Yes,this all helps Trump...

Protesters have taken to the streets in Fountain Hills, Arizona. Literally.

They anti-Trump protesters have blocked Shea Boulevard in Fountain Hills ahead of a planned Donald Trump rally down the road.

One banner held up by several protesters read “Dump Trump”.

Another was stretched out over a pickup truck, reading “Shut Trump Down.”

Local 12 news tells us that “the protest is blocking traffic near Palisades Boulevard” as well.

The rally in question scheduled for 11 a.m. at Fountain Hills Park.

TRUMP still making news, people still plotting against him...

Bernie? Not so much. He is cooked. No one is plotting against him. That is why there is nothing for you to push in your own thread...

This is your new home now. Vote TRUMP! Stop harpy clinton

Some people are totally losing it - clearly. Now they´re blocking a public road. That can´t be legal. It´s one thing to protest and quite another to mess with public traffic. Not to mention that it can be highly dangerous.

[etparle]

Will he really build a wall?
I read it can be done, it would cost about 8 Billion and could be done in 4 years, the same amount of time he would be in office.
I think he will.

They are true to themselves.

As gibbering fools they do what gibbering fools must do.

I guess nothing less than a wall will do. This is on the Greece-Macedonia border and is pretty imposing but refugees simply broke part of it down...

Yeah but that wall is a joke. The wall Trump is supposed to build will make that look like grade 2 hurdles in gym class.

They tore down a sign structure and used steel bars from that as battering rams to smash an opening. It´s amazing. Then the police arrived and used rubber bullets on them. I tell you; Europe is heading down the tubes and fast.

I wasn´t calling this a wall, FYI.

This is how John Stuart Mill put it :-  “The relation between rich and poor, according to this theory (a theory also applied to the relation between men and women) should be only partly authoritative; it should be amiable, moral, and sentimental: affectionate tutelage on the one side, respectful and grateful deference on the other. The rich should be in loco parentis to the poor, guiding and restraining them like children.”

Replace "rich" with "government" and you've got the perfect behind-closed-doors rationale for Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, unemployment insurance, and the other structural beams of the middle-class welfare state.

"Yes, I know you paid into the system, but that's only because we made you. You see? You saved for your rainy days because we made you do so!"

Already showing in the pools. Gallup just released a recent one showing that Trump's net favourables amongst "Republican leaning independents" have climbed more than 10% over the last three weeks.

I love how pretentious and scathing the left are when it comes to Donald Trump they don't realise the more they churn out stupid articles like the above the more people are going to vote for him just to piss them off.

The GOP front-runner is gaslighting us — a technique that involves lying, then feigning outrage when caught.

LOL If you ask me it looks like they're pissed off he's better at it than they are.

Government ≠ welfare state.

Health care/social security/state education is paid for by the people for the people - in the UK at least. Govt., on the other hand, is paid for by the rich for the rich.

And whilst I know what you're driving at, no, I don't think you can replace "rich' with "government" in the above quote. My post, and the quote from JS Mill, is trying to explain how those that have fuck all can vote for someone who has everything. In the UK we called them the "working class Tory". Lots of people wracked their brains trying to undrstand the phenomena, what with it being completely counter intuitive. Yes, you could point to the ownership of the mass media, you could point to voter "aspiration". But one explanation was "deference".

In Great Britian, do you have civil servants engineering themselves a retirement plan, and a medical plan, different and unrelated to what is shoveled out to the regular citizens?

He will build the wall, he's a builder and a damn good one at that. His hotels are so luxurious, I love visiting them.

The cost, $8 billion, will not cost a single penny out of tax payers pockets, either. It will all be funded by Mexico. Before you cry, Mexico won't pay for the wall, understand that our trade deficits with Mexico are extremely big and $8 billion is just a tiny, tiny fraction compared to what they owe to us. They will pay whether they hand us a cheque or not.

Who knows.... Maybe the wall could have built in hotel rooms, swimming pools, and cycling tracks on top...

Could Donald Trump Bring Some Sanity to US Foreign Policy?

I imagine that many of our anti-war colleagues will choke over Donald Trump's selection.
