I hope he ushers in utopia.

we (republicans) need to come up with solutions for the inner cities based on the same basic criteria I outlined for pleebo... the old You should work really really hard and be *** like us! it hasn't really done great for us downtown...

Inner cities are *** by a double whamy problem. First is cost of living in urban centers is astronomical due to the concentration of higher skilled jobs. This prevents impoverished people from living anywhere other then crime infested drug riddled ghetto slums. Second is the concentration of crime as a result of all that poverty existing in such a small geographic area. The impoverished are surrounded by what seems to be "easy money", the results of which are virtually permanent life long criminal careers.

The formula for "success" is pretty straightforward, take school seriously and acquire as much knowledge as possible while also staying out of crime. Make a plan to get the *** out of dodge, go to university and study something that makes money or just suck it up and join the military and learn something that makes money. Keep at it for five to ten years and congratulations, the former child is no longer impoverished and has created a path of upward mobility for their children.

The problem with this that it's not instant nor something that can be used to get voters. Democrat don't want impoverished people to become successful on their own, it would only turn them into Republicans. They want those poor downtrodden to stay poor and downtrodden, an ignorant welfare recipients vote is worth the same as a engineers vote and the ignorant recipient is much easier to control. Further an entire Democrat created ghetto culture has been created the celebrates and worships crime and bad decisions. When a persons culture is to, quite literally, get pregnant at 14 by a prison-bound drug dealer and create generations of welfare, what the *** can anyone say or do to correct that. Cultural beliefs are just as powerful as religious and ideological beliefs and when someone's beliefs are that they should proudly commit crime, go to prison and impregnate a dozen single young mothers, well their rightly ***.

Man, Boeing is so generous. 1.5% of their tax cuts going to charity and employee benefits.

The rest is going into buying back their own stock.

Nice.

Alleged?

Needing an insurance policy against Trump's election, really removes any notion of "alleged".

Liberals can't stand companies and people keeping their own money.

Their entitlement to other people's money is beyond the pale.

Given how "successful" the Benghazi investigation was, the FBI has nothing to be concerned about.

Progressive philosophy 101

Money is a social construct and all property belongs to the community, thus it's wrong for any single entity to possess more property then any other entity.

lol at Haley making threats at the UN General Assembly. Is she representing North Korea?
It seems that "we are going to take names" didn't work.

Maybe she should have tried Kruchev's shoe banging trick.

Her threats weren't quite as empty as the UN finger-wagging.

Oh no, the UN Boogeyman is going to get us! WoOoOoOoO!

(On a side note, North Korea voted against us, so technically the others who opposed us more closely represented N.K. than Nikki Haley....)

UN is a joke anyway. It has no purpose. We pay just alone, $8 Billion a year just in membership dues. That does not count foreign aide packages or anything like that, just simply dues. What does the US get out of that? They have not helped us with the NK issues besides imposing marginal sanctions that China works around regardless. They have 0 purpose and 0 benefit to US interests.

Just looked it up too and even linking politifact for our liberal friends.

US pays 22% of UN Budget

Also my last link was slightly off last year we paid $3 billion for membership dues and gave an additional $5 billion in mandatory donations.

The idea of the UN was to create a place where countries could communicate directly and settle differences without going to war. It was also to create an independent multi-national body to ensure aggressive nations wouldn't start collection land. For these missions it has failed and instead become a political entity used to siphon money from wealthy nations and redistribute it to poorer nations. The reason it failed was it's voting system, one nation one vote and there are a *** ton of shitty crap nations looking for a piece of western wealth.

So yeah *** the UN, *** NATO, let other nations deal with their own stupidity and shitty choices.
