I've mentioned the wording before in this thread but I seriously think the Statue of Liberty (ironically a gift from France) needs to be demolished. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Not any more. markjazzbassist and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m finally dumbfounded. I am amazed at how long Macron got away with calling Trump an idiot in public (at the UN, Rememberance day, ...). Seems Trump finally snapped; will be a huge boost for Macron in France. Chach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 I was just looking at some polling numbers on Trump's approval rating in relation to the economy. Somehow, he's manage to go up a couple of points to ~53% This kind of shocks me considering that the DOW has significantly dropped since the beginning of the year. Experts point to employment rates and job numbers, but that's been improving since Obama. He's doing poorly in other areas like immigration and foreign policy though.

I just hope it happens during his time in office so he gets the blame and takes the stick for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 This is obscene. If anyone is in danger because of immigration into America, it's the immigrants! The best thing the president could do to make American citizens safer is to welcome as many legal and illegal immigrants into the country as soon as possible. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2018/06/19/two-charts-demolish-the-notion-that-immigrants-here-illegally-commit-more-crime/?utm_term=.c53650fcbf3e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 the US budget runs out tomorrow. Trump wanted the congress to approve a spending bill that includes 5 billion for his border wall with mexico. democrats said no, even republicans said no and passed a spending bill with no border wall money. Trump now says he won't sign it, the government will shut down. Repubs are furious as most had already left for holiday vacation and will need to come back for further votes. The man is an idiot. Not even the repubs want the border wall. https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/20/politics/donald-trump-shutdown-border-wall-funding/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
