    " When Trump was calling for better ethics in Washington, he only wanted us to drain the other guys’ swamp. "

    Takumi Sakuyama, a former TPP negotiator for the Japanese government who is now an associate professor of agriculture at Tokyo’s Meiji University, said it is “risky” but “inevitable” for the Abe administration to respond to a U.S. request to start negotiations on a bilateral trade deal.

    “Bilateral discussions are going to give an advantage to the larger economy — the U.S. — and Mr. Trump’s record of complaints about Japan’s automotive trade, beef tariffs and currency manipulation indicates he will … drive a hard bargain,” he said.

    Let me try again. You asked if suddenly more had a negative opinion of Trump since election day. This aggregation of 30 polls from 11 orgs has it as +9 disapproval since Jan 20. Link.

    So, yeah. If only there were some way to know.

    You know, the government could probably do more to concretely improve people's lives with some tweaks to transportation policy. Instead we're consumed by scaremongering involving brown people of various flavors. Says a lot.

    Ok. Since you're cheerleading indiscriminate immigration enforcement, you explain to me why there is a such an emphasis on this issue above all others?

    Well my primaries issues are the global war against radical Islam and the economy for starters.

    In regards to the issue of illegal immigrants there is a finite number of resources in this country. I would rather expend those resources on people who are here legally. Illegal immigration is wrapped up with radical Islam in a broad national security issue.

    You make it sound so Sunday casual. I personally think there's a huge difference between, say, a girl scout knocking to ask me to buy cookies and law enforcement knocking to ask me to prove my identity.

    Funny... I didn't hear a peep about it.

    The best thing about the Trump administration is that he's going to shed light on all the ****ed up **** our government has been doing for years.

    And how will you know what is true and what is a lie? Seems most everything out of their mouths these days is a lie.

    I'm not suggesting he is going to expose what others did. I'm suggesting he'll continue doing it, and yet suddenly the press and the left will care

    It's a question of legality. There is nothing g that stops law enforcement for knocking on the door.

    LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com/AP) -- Federal immigration officials say 160 people were arrested across the Southland over the past week during a crackdown targeting “criminal aliens, illegal re-entrants and immigration fugitives.”

    The arrests took place in six counties during what U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials described as a “five-day targeted enforcement operation” that began Monday and wrapped up around noon Friday.

    Of the 160 arrested, about 150 had criminal histories, while five more had either been previously deported or had “final orders of removal”. Many of those arrested had prior felony convictions for “serious or violent offenses” including child sex crimes and assault.


    [...]

    “The rash of these recent reports about ICE checkpoints and random sweeps, it’s all false and that’s definitely dangerous and irresponsible,” said ICE spokesperson David Marin.
