I used to stay at the Marriot Marquis in Times Square for my business trips to NYC. I loved the revolving bar on top. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

I was there once, weird thing was check-in was on something like the 6th floor. Had my management staff with me. Woman who managed my service department was in awe of so much of the city. But she would have been a mark on her own. Talking with a street vendor who is being cagey about this picture she wanted. Eventually she asks, "What are you saying" and I say, "He said he has 20 more just like it in the trunk of his car there." Guy looks at me and just agrees, seeing I am not about to put up with street huckster nonsense. The President is a fink. |

SOOPOO Member since: Feb 19, 2014 Threads: 22 Posts: 4190 | The facts are simple. Democrat mayors and governors don’t give a rats ass about the costs and problems associated with illegal aliens until they are in their jurisdiction. The mean Republican politicians are doing a beautiful job of exposing that hypocrisy. A few busloads of illegal aliens arrive in NYC and the mayor says he needs BILLIONS of dollars in aid! Texas takes in the equivalent of those busloads on a daily basis. Why not put up a illegal alien shelter within a mile of every sitting US Senator and see what their response is!?!? |

You care WAY more about this issue than the average American. It’s all you can talk about lately. Most non-brainwashed-by-Fox people don’t give a damn. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I always thought it would just be a good idea to put the immigration issue to a popular vote with the understanding that those that voted to allow them to stay would agree to pay their prorated share of the costs and those that voted against it would not be responsible for paying. Let's see how the vote would come out then. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

We would be in a much better place if we could just put some hot-button issues to a nationwide popular vote (I.e. abortion, marijuana legalization). Alas, that is not the country we live in. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18826 | Darn, more cancel culture.
See, I thought the whole purpose of anti-cancel culture was not to judge whether anyone is raving lunatic who can't provide evidence to be platformed for everyone to see. Guess I was wrong. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

I agree with that. Whichever way you vote you have to financially back it out of your personal income. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |
