Trump = John Wayne

Nieto = Lucky Ned Pepper

The Scene = Kate's Meadow

Who remembers that dialogue?

[Publius]

NED: "Pretty bold talk for a one-eyed fat man."

ROOSTER: "Fill your hand, you son of a bitch!"

[Vigilanteman]

I was thinking more of the line earlier:

Ned, I mean to kill you in the next few minutes or take you back with me to hang at Judge Parker's convenience. Which will it be?

My favorite negotiating technique.

[tumblindice]

“He (Nieto) noted the U.S. government shared responsibility for the migrants seeking to reach the United States, and should also work to stop the southward flow of illegal weapons and illicit funds that helped finance organized crime in Mexico.”

Yeah, we shouldn’t have such nice things.
Nieto is a pinche cabron, like Fox.

[BipolarBob]

Which broad are they seeking to negotiate with Trump?

[gunsequalfreedom]

Do I hear them Sh@tting bricks?

Making bricks is more like it. Mr. Trump, where would you like us to deliver these bricks for your wall?

[IronJack]

You wanna negotiate? Seal the borders. Then get back to me.

[thoughtomator]

I’d say a good opening negotiating position for Trump is “cease your acts of war immediately or we’ll f-ing nuke you by February”.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Animals and birds migrate.

Humans emigrate or immigrate.

Laws regulate.

[Lurkinanloomin]

They didn’t miss this, they were trying to turn us in to North Mexico.

[Windflier]

Just legalize drugs and you can put drug traffickers out of business without firing a shot.

You'd think the Prohibition era would have taught America a thing or two about trying to control people's personal choices through government mandate.

It doesn't work, and only serves to create black markets and criminal empires.

[trebb]

Now that’s winning. mexico is used to dictating terms to us and now they know they better get good with their hat-in-hand approach...

[JimRed]

Sorry, Mexico; the wall is NOT negotiable, and you WILL pay for it!

[JimRed]

OK, decriminalize it. Then when a substantial number of those who partake freely have toked themselves into unemployability, it will be declared a disease and they'll go on SSI disability. Then we non-druggies end up paying for their BEHAVIOR. How will we handle that?

[JimRed]

Mexico is so weak we really aught to be concerned about a civil war or revolution there.

And which side to arm.

[Lurker]

“Then we non-druggies end up paying for their BEHAVIOR. How will we handle that?”

Simple. End welfare.

Let them die in their own juices.

[Vince Ferrer]

Everyone. Encourage a second amendment, arm them all equally, let them sort it out.

[Leep]

Seek a little harder. $$$

[Windflier]

People have been destroying themselves with alcohol and drugs since time immemorial. If you think big government can save them (or us) by force, you’re sadly mistaken, as Prohibition proved.

I don’t have the perfect answer, but I do know what doesn’t work.

[JimRed]

If you think big government can save them (or us) by force, you’re sadly mistaken, as Prohibition proved.

I was complaining about the actions of government, not promoting it. If the care and feeding of the indigent-through-their-own-fault was not stolen from me and redistributed to them, then no problem. BEHAVIORS (drug and alcohol abuse, AIDS spreading activities, etc.) being treated as diseases by government picks my pocket, and yours as well.

To rephrase an old saying, millions for charity freely given; not a penny for charity stolen.*

*Millions for defense, not one cent for tribute.
