It was a crumbling $hithole back in the 90's.
Probably been like that since the 60's.
 

Yea, their engineers rated US infrastructure a D- or something.

Some investigative report counted over 3,000 US cities having higher level of lead in its drinking water than Flint at its worst. My wife's cousins there said they don't drink or cook with tap water, have to buy bottled for consumption. That's Third World right there.

Trump made lots of promises. He tend to fulfil ones that make himself, his family and his billionaires rich first and foremost.

Even the drive to evict illegals and banning immigrants and refugees. Those were already carried out under Obama at unheard of numbers. Trump make a lot of noise about it but it's practically the same.

Reason is not about Muslims or national security/terrorism... it's just economics. There's already too many poor people so they don't need anymore; jobs even poor Americans won't do - farm hand at illegal wages - those are being mechanised.

Yeah it is. The USA is the last bastion of, albeit residual, old school immigration policies that were based on the Anglo systems. For instance the ethnic Chinese were specifically excluded from naturalisation because of their ingrained desire to identify with China rather than their place of residence.... so much so, enmasse they scabbed wealth from the host nation to send back to Asia.

They rejected on the basis of education, health, language, war brides, put quotas on regions, etc. And then in the 60's they started to skew away from their roots and limit Western Europeans and Brits in favour of orientals and that's when the seeds were sown for the stink they are in today..... no active cultural assimilation policies; just flag, baseball, gridiron and military uniform worship.

and guns... and people dying because they can't afford health insurance.

And bad westerns... kill them injuns those ignorant bastards...
 
One thing Donald Trump is doing is nominating scores of people to fill life time positions as Federal judges. Check out just what sort of utterly incompetant nominess he has offered with the sole purpose of creating a mindless conservative judiciary.

This is priceless.
This man sums up all that is wrong about Trump's takeover of the courts

Trump nominee Matthew Petersen is probably the single most ill-prepared and inexperienced person considered for any federal position in recent times

It is perhaps understandable that people focus on the global impact of a reckless, petulant and ignorant president. North Korea, Iran, global warming, Jerusalem: there’s plenty to keep you awake at night if you’re at all concerned about the world burning.

But all that means we overlook the smaller fires that will burn for a lifetime, destroying communities and citizens closer to home.

Because it turns out that a boneheaded president has a remarkable ability to nominate boneheaded federal judges who will serve an unlimited term as they undermine public confidence in justice and government. Much like the man who put their names forward in the first place.

For now the focus is on the single most ill-prepared and inexperienced nominee for any federal position in recent times: Matthew Petersen.

Petersen is nominated for a lifetime’s job as a US district judge in Washington DC, where the courts regularly shape the conduct of the federal government.

This columnist may have no legal qualifications whatsoever. But having sat in the E Barrett Prettyman courthouse for months on end, it is our learned opinion that Petersen is an embarrassing fool who has no business wearing a judge’s robes.

Petersen wilted in the face of the simple and polite questioning by Senator John Kennedy, a Trump-supporting Republican from Louisiana, not previously known as a leader of the vast leftwing conspiracy.

The yanks didn't discriminate the Chins for those reasons. They discriminate for the same reason all people discriminate: The other aren't as awesome as they are.

Hence, Franklin don't much want the new republic to accept the less civilised Europeans. He have his preference and they're all Anglo, Franco and such superior breeds of Europeans.

Then came the Irish... didn't get on very well early on either. etc. etc.

But we're in the 21st century and character are measure by a new standard: money. Have lots of it and even if you're a Muslim or an African American, you're one of the few "good ones".

If you have forgotten Luutzu, Ronald Reagan was anti communism.

Cuba is still there.
They can call out for Castro.

You familiar with the old Australian saying"nobody likes a scab" ? The Chinese picking over gold field spoils and sending the money back to China didn't help their reputation, based on the prevailing cultural norms of the day. They didn't do things the same way as the Europeans and locals were used to and worse they looked different too.
 
So here's a story that's totally unbelievable.

US votes in a TV Reality Star because there was no body else and he pretty much tells a lie every 20 mins (on a good day) because .....well he is a TV reality star.

Then a party that has howled like werewolves about dept used to save the country from economic melt down now adds $1.5 tril giving it away to themselves and their mates.

Now stay with me because this is so technical I don't understand it but here goes.

You take money from the poor and middle class give it to the rich and wealthy corporations hoping that they give it back to the poor and middle class you know the majority of people in the country and then brag about it.

I know totally unbelievable....could never happen.
 
Trump has done some good stuff, but the Jerusalem thing is terrible. I think he's misguided here. It doesn't matter if the Jews owned Jerusalem before (in ancient times), u just can't kick a people out of their long held land and living conditions. It's grievous to the Arabs. And I don't think Israel really is a democracy – u gotta have Jewish blood to be a citizen (haven't got time to check my facts...). Also, Israel's political views are inspired by the Torah (Old Testament) and Talmud. These books alone aren't very kind imo.
 
just to add , you can't kick a people out of their land even if you don't think it's their land or it isn't their land after so much history has gone by. It's against fairness and charity
 
Well I still think it was utterly spineless of Australia to abstain from the Jerusalem vote at the UN. This happened on the Loyal Deputy's watch.

Allies Britain, France, Germany, Japan - all supported the US on this vote.

Why should Trump accept any of our refugees?
 
Sorry Malcolm, it's not you.
