SABRES 0311

Hey everyone. This thread is dedicated to U.S. foreign policy regarding South and Central America. There is a lot to talk about concerning migrant activity, Venezuela and third country involvement. The reason I am creating separate threads for each geographical region is to make searching for information and discussion on specific topics easier. As our foreign policy differs by region/country, it can be easy for conversations to drift if all in one thread. As always please let me know if this helps.

I thought there was a thread for trade ideas and speculation.

That’s one of those areas that seems like it would hurt more than others. I always thought the inside elbow would but it was about two inches below for me that stung.

I haven’t gotten any since the current order came out, 2010 I think. I got the wife’s name on my forearm and we are still married so it’s a win win.

You can actually get in trouble if you get a sunburn which inhibits your ability to execute your daily duties. At least that's what I got told one time. Luckily I just sit inside refreshing Sabrespace.

Some people have a bunch of small tattoos as part of a theme, some have single large tattoos and others have a bunch of unrelated tattoos but try to tie them together physically instead of by theme. I chose the latter.

I have what the Marine Corps considers a full sleeve on my left arm. However there is plenty of room for more. One on my right tricep too.

There quick fix

Rewatched Ted and Ted 2 this weekend. Grrr hashtag Mondays.

7 billion people in this world and counting. The number of crazies will go up.

On one hand I say no, been there done that. On the other hand you can’t say you tried everything until you try everything.

I said what I said because I'm pissed off about what this has become. Trump is not a perfect person, very far from it. I will say the same for myself. I was angry that our election came down to those two. I felt like it would be a decision of the lesser of two evils. Since then he brought KJU to meetings but gets blasted because they haven't denuked yet. He wants to build a wall because physical barriers, when coupled with manpower and technology, do work and gets called racist. I didn't say every person who aligns left. I said it about her specifically. The world will not end in 12 years and IMO it is scare tactics just like the ones that led us down Bush's road post 911. I do want a better planet to leave my kids than the one we have now. I also want to make sure there is a way to provide them good health care without having millions of dollars. Seeing as we agree on that we can debate how to get there which is what I think is supposed to happen. I said what I said because there are two sides to a coin. If people have that much disdain for Trump they need to look at other people too. If anyone thinks this will end when Trump is not president they are wrong. All of this is setting precedence. As for why I do what I do, it has no bearing on anything I say here. But in response to your question I will give it my best. I think our country's history is one of perseverance; Great Depression, Civil War/Reconstruction, Civil Rights, so on. We do take in people looking for a better life and provide aid monetarily and physically throughout the world. Our landscape is diverse and beautiful and our people descend from those who had the courage to tell the most powerful King and country to go to hell. I don't want my kids going to the same places I did so I stick around hoping to see it through as unrealistic as it might be. I think its awesome that one way or another we as a people will get through this and be stronger for it. I don't do my job because I think we are perfect with a perfect history. I do it because although we had dark times we have shown to be remarkable. Its in defense of my children's opportunity to be better than me, not in defense of elected people who act like they know better than you or I. They simply have the stomach for it. I hope that makes it clear where I stand on my country and its people.

Ok bud you do what you have to. I'll take it with a grain of salt from a guy who thinks Benghazi is non issue when the last Dem candidate peddled lies and said what difference does it make. BTW she did successfully defend an accused child rapist by tearing into the kid. You can listen to a video of a conversation she had following the trial where she laughs about the ordeal. As far as Biden goes, if it was your daughter he was touching like that I doubt you would defend him. Maybe I was out of line with my AOC comment. I guess we will see if I was right or wrong in 12 years when the world ends. Her words not mine.

Maybe you will get Biden in 2020. The guy who just grabs them everywhere and sniffs their hair. I’m glad HRC didn’t win. You talk about morality, the woman got a child rapist off and pushed a lie about why four Americans died in Benghazi. Now you guys have Omar and the window licker AOC as up and comers. Keep virtue signaling for your masters. If you want to know why people are going hard right it’s an equal and opposite reaction.

Nice check.

As I said, not all are bad and not all are committing violent crimes. If they want to seek asylum then do so at a port of entry. This is where initial screening and documentation should take place to include trying to identify ties to MS-13 and other violent organizations. The other issue is with children. I do not believe every single person coming here with a kid in tow is the actual guardian of that child. Call me crazy but Id bet some of them have the idea that if they kidnap someone's kid down south they can pass them off as their own in hope of an easier time gaining entry. What happens to the kid after that is anyone's guess but I cant imagine its a good time. How many don't show up for their court date? I can only imagine why. So yes, percentage wise most do not commit violent crimes. However, if the majority don't show up for their follow on hearing you have to ask why. Perhaps they are scared their port of entry story wont hold up in court and they will get deported. I don't understand why there is so much emphasis on why we should take everyone in but not as much on the root of the problem. So many people crap on ICE and our laws like we need to change things to accommodate other people. If people care so much then direct that energy at the countries these people are coming from.

I cant speak to the Dem party transition but if you think there aren't violent people, drug and human trafficking mixing in with the ones legitimately looking for asylum you are wrong. Same thing but smaller scale with the ones leaving ISIS held areas and going to Europe. Its not all of them but still an issue.

Aaaaaand I was right the first time. There is a WAPO article saying the leader of the militia was arrested.

I’ve agreed he’s not the best human being and I will admit neither am I in any way. However I wouldn’t say 10 times worse than any other we have had. I am thankful she is not.

That’s because you’ve never seen Hillary as POTUS.

Taking advantage of the GIPH capability. This thing pays for itself. I’m getting the feeling we are on the same page.

Ya but I don’t know if it’s enough to overlook the mistakes he makes in his own end. If the other team had a lot of scoring depth maybe.

This now my new favorite thread. Thanks SDS.

I think Risto is expendable but alone will not get a 2C. Need something in the deal to mitigate the +\-.

We’d be saying the same thing if He wasn’t.
