    Well, I dont know what changed between January (your link) and March (my link). Im guessing the devil is in the details, but all of this information is second hand from unnamed senior officials, so who knows what the truth is anyways.

     

    They shouldnt get citizenship anyways. Send them back and let them fulfill the dreams of their own countries. Would deter future illegals from trying to pull the same BS. Tougher immigration policies would work way better than a dumb wall IMO.

    Didnt Trump turn down $25B for the wall because it included some protections for Dreamers? If so, he is doing the art of the deal wrong I think

    Yes

    The White House initially offered a roughly three-year DACA extension in exchange for $25 billion in border wall funding, Axios reported on Thursday, citing Congressional sources familiar with the negotiations.

     

    Democrats appeared amenable to the $25 billion figure, but shot down the offer because it provided a pathway to citizenship for only about 700,000 DACA recipients not the full 1.8 million population of young unauthorized immigrants brought to the US as children.

     

    Democrats then suggested exchanging the $25 billion border wall funding for a pathway to citizenship for the 1.8 million immigrants, but the Trump administration turned them down, demanding broader immigration reforms in return for the broader population of Dreamers.

    This is a multi-state league (NH, OH, MA, PA & NY), hence why via ESPN. Jeff actually plays frisbee golf weekly with the Commish. *MY* take on it is that Jeff saw what was going on - blatant cheating - and decided that if Mike wanted to win THAT BAD, that he was willing to cheat to do so - then eff it; I'll cut my whole team.

     

    FYI: thankfully, this is not a $-league. It was SUPPOSED to be "for fun." :huh:

    The lesson to be learned from all this is to never trust a grown man who plays frisbee golf. Theyre always either burnout hippies, or too poor to play real golf. This guy Jeff sounds like he has both bases covered.

    Not even in the same stratosphere. Far and away the most extremism this term. I cant recall any political thread during Obamas whole term, now its 20 threads a day for the entire term. But its coming out now, the society shift is probably exposing more of it from both sides.

    During Obamas tenure, 90% of the GC threads were the usual suspects complaining about Obama. Now in the era of Trump, 90% of the threads are the usual suspects complaining about people (generally the fake media) complaining about Trump. :wacko:

    All of those networks have been assimilated by the Deep State. Same with the Weekly Standard, the National Review, Military Times and any random Fox correspondent who gently differs with the Orange Messiah.

     

    Its all a bipartisan conspiracy to make Trump seem like a juvenile, deranged narcissistic bigot, which he most definitely is not. :thumbsup:

    Thats what makes me the most uneasy about Trump, and by extension his flock. This whole cult of personality thing, thats usually reserved for dictators. Obviously people loved Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc and they all did a lot of really stupid sh!t that their loyal followers dismissed. But he stokes this primal fear that I honestly had no idea existed here. I dont ever remember a group of Americans so indoctrinated by the propaganda of a president. Its pretty bizarre TBH.

    Yeah, but that was Rodger's 4th year as the starter and he was 28 when he did that. Mahomes is going to throw 50 TDs (assuming he throws two on Sunday) in his first year as a starter at age 23. Imagine what he'll do with a full season under his belt. I wouldn't blame anyone for taking him 1.1 next year.

    True. And Rodgers did throw 40ish TDs that year, so he wasnt a bust or anything. I just feel like grabbing a QB that early puts you at such a disadvantage at other skill positions, when its finally back to you 23 picks later. I dont have any data on how many people who took Rodgers won their league that year, but Id imagine it was very few.

    Securing the border is an absolute must, Trumps blustering about it has only hurt his capacity to deliver it. Further, it has compelled him to negotiate with the Dems and accept a much lesser amount, but he is stupid as he does not realize that it is not about the AMOUNT of money it is about the PRINCIPLE behind the action. Ther Dem's are panderers of the highest order, and for them and their base the idea of national security through border security is abhorrent...which is FOCKING stupid, and mean....really....reallly.. stupid....amazingly...they have surpassed the stupidity of Trump on this one....he gives in and suggests $5billion? in terms of the overall budget its a pittance and won't build sh!t, so they can chip away at him by cooperating on the wall, but having it be an utter failure....but they are so stupid and dug into a failed ideology that they cannot even take advantage of an opportunity.

    I disagree. This isnt about the principle of anything. For the dems, this is about Trumps biggest campaign promise being Mexico building a wall. They have no reason to negotiate now, because theyll have house control in a week. No wall = broken promise = ammo for 2020. Its all politics and nothing to do with what they think is best for America.

    They were offered a deal on DACA. Let's keep up with the facts.

    Not the current bill AFAIK.

     

    I know the one 6 months ago had no path to citizenship, ended chain migration (which the president clearly supports), etc. Apparently they wanted a better deal. :dunno:

     

    And just to reiterate, I want an end to chain migration, no DACA, add e-Verify, etc. I just think the wall is a stupid waste of money. A waste thats not even possible, because it needs to go through a bunch of private land that the people who own currently are not willing to sell!

    Remember when Schumer Barry and Hillary wanted a wall ?

     

    I do

     

    You guys wanna see the video proof or do you prefer to remain the hack ass clowns you factually are ?

    I do. Obama was trying to negotiate the purchase of all the private land along the border for many years. Several hundred ranchers along the border refused 7 figures to sell their land, which made the whole wall idea pointless.
