I choose to believe this is the latest battle in Trump's fight against undocumented foreigners.
Documented or undocumented, it doesn't matter, as long as they are foreigner, even if they are born in the US, they should be on the oder side of the wall

Please try to make a point in this discussion instead of contentless ad hominems, and I'll respond to it. It may be hard, but I'll be here for you when you finally make it.

Many problems with this post. First, you're assuming that Trump had sex with Stormy Daniels. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, but it is very difficult to differentiate between 'please go away with your bullshit because it is distracting' agreement, and a 'here is some money so you don't talk' agreement.

Sure, I bet on coin flips, so why not? If you're willing to transact over XLM? Let's say the bet comes due Nov 7, 2018(day after midterms)? Also, please keep in mind that the point of my post is that it is unknown if Trump slept with Stormy Daniels, and even if he did , you still don't know what arrangement if any exists between Melania and Donald to be able to say that he is "completely devoid of ethics and morals"
Don't care about the point of your post, and I made no value / moral / ethical judgment in my reply regardless. You just agreed to a bet. I said "bet you a dollar he did" and you said "sure."

#115Manufacturing has already been lost to China, so has solar tech. China also edges US in areas where regulation is hairy, like genetic hybrids, cloning, etc. Henceforth, it's important to guard American leadership in technologies where it leads

#116The better term is "national interest". Qualcomm is a world leading wireless technology innovator and it's domicile and ownership in the US is in the national interest.

Just to be clear, we're talking about the same guy that settled a fraud case for $25M right as he was taking office and said that the judge on the case couldn't be fair because he's of Mexican decent.
Do we really need to be clear, or are you just trying to make a poor point about a legal strategy that was used by his lawyers? Also, I wasn't aware that a settlement was an admission of guilt. Why are you treating it as such? Does no innocent person ever settle?
Would you not say that it is fair (if not correct), based on Trump's history of other questionable ethics (birtherism, infidelity, lying), to assume that his settlement is likely evidence of further unethical behavior? Or should we use the court system as the infallible dispenser of all truth and ethics? If so, I think the American public owes O.J. an apology.

I'm not attempting to take sides, but the judge was documented to be heavily involved in the local Mexican community, which certainly could suggest a bias in judgment against a president who wanted to build a wall to stop illegal immigration from Mexico.

"A good portion," you say? Is it 10%? 5?
Not sure I'd call it a "good portion" in this context, but it's 6.2% according to FHWA. > Today, the 46,730-mile Interstate System includes approximately 2,900 miles of turnpikes. https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/infrastructure/tollroad.cfm
If you go from Philadelphia to Chicago, it's a toll-road the entire way (PA turnpike -> Ohio turnpike > Indiana tollroad -> Chicago). That's an outlier route, but toll roads aren't uncommon, especially in certain states.
