    Edit: and our society, as a whole, is much different than much of the rest of the world. Look at violence, general crime, lack of revolutions (see: Venezuela or the African continent), etc.

    It's very complex, unfortunately.
    Well, if you consider the European nations, not the 'up and coming nations' then look at our violence, general crime. Compared to most of Europe we are embarrassing. http://www.nationmaster.com/country-.../United-States (this site is fascinating and somwehat depressing) It has comparisons for all sorts of dif things- stats on different crimes, age of adult responsibility, etc.

          Fahrenheit is also better for every day living than Celsius; 0-100 in Fahrenheit encompasses most every day temperatures. 0-100 in Celsius covers the range of liquid water.

                  If the wall isnt included he will never cut a deal. If he agrees to otherwise just assume he is lying. (good plan anyways)

                  Of course...wasnt Mexico going to pay for it anyways? Speaking of Mexico...I hope the people of Texas are happy with their fearless leader. He screwed them out of aid from Mexico when Trump didnt even send condolences after their earthquake. The man tweets about every two bit idea in his head but he cant be bothered to say something to Mexico after a disaster?

                    He doesn't care about the rapists. Why should he? Breitbart doesn't either. Or Steve King. Get them outta here.

                      The fight for DACA can throw him money to hire more agents and beef up patrols.

                      That leaves the Big, Beautiful Wall as the main bargaining chip in negotiations for other things the country actually needs. Like broader immigration reform, or infrastructure spending, or higher taxes on incomes over $500,000/yr.

                        For a normal politician you would be correct...Trump's entire brand now is based on getting the Wall built. He failed on Obamacare Repeal, his Tax Reform is all but dead barring a miracle and despite saber rattling there is no war. The man needs a YUGE win and the Wall was BY FAR his most high profile promise and one of the most popular. He needs it and he needs it fast because if the midterms swing the numbers in Congress the Wall is dead.

                        Basically Trump will pretend to make a deal with the Dems in the hopes that the GOP balks and gives him what he wants. Of course the Dems know this so they use it to troll the GOP whenever they can. It reminds me of what the Pohlads did when they were trying to get a stadium for the Twins in Minneapolis. Minneapolis wasnt going to do it but St. Paul offered them the moon and the stars. The Pohlads wanted nothing to do with St. Paul but played up their offer. Minneapolis didnt balk until the very last second, but St. Paul was going to pull the offer anyways because they knew they were getting played. Target Field is of course in Minneapolis.

                          You're definitely right that he's desperate for any positive momentum on his agenda. You may be correct that he's playing the Dems to try and get the Goopers to react.

                          Still, it's fun to read comments on the usual right-wing sites about Donnie's BETRAYAL!11!!1

                                I cant give Don credit for planning anything past his Big Mac lunch. He's never shown any hint of being a strategist. He operates moment by moment on his weird reality show survival instinct.
                                The truth is, he doesn't even care about the wall. He just keeps repeating it because he stumbled across a line during his campaign that made the audience cheer really loudly. He's like a Pavlov dog.

                                Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.
