What has Trump done now?

No shit.

Whoa, let's not get too carried away. The Texas legislature (run by the Republican majority) has issued CIVIL arrest warrants for the missing Democrat representatives.

The arrest warrants are unenforceable outside the State of Texas, and because they are CIVIL warrants, no other State will enforce them. The arrest warrants are largely symbolic.

Just how sick has America become?

 

Fox host Brian Kilmeade said live on air that the homeless should accept what they are given or be given an involuntary lethal injection.

[Marty_d]

Fox are a symptom of its sickness. I guess every empire crashes and burns eventually.

On that logic, the people who feel so aggrieved because of immigrants should accept what they are given or be given an involuntary lethal injection, too, right? I mean, its not like the war is only on illegal immigration as apparelty legal immigrants have been deported and are stopped from entry to the country? 

 

And, while we're at it, anyone who is offended by trans, vegans, feminists, native Americans, and whatever else should also accepted it or be given.. .blah blah blah...

 

Most wars actually start with words - the first shot (which in this case may already have been fired long before Kirk) is often the culmination of the war of words first...

OK Jerry. Thanks for the gloom.

Should I rush out and buy gold bullion?

Or just a couple of cases of a nice red?

The PEN is Mightier than the Sword. An old saying but today. "Truth is elusive deliberately and by design" might be amore appropriate  observation. Nev

But only when it is accurately aimed at the jugular.

In Context It means the "written word". Nev

[red750]

So that's what it means....

THAT would bring you trouble in the USA. He's also a  revenge seeking, control freak. Nev

I was speaking to a Canadian today. From what he said about US Border Control examining one's digital communication devices, not one of us would get through the first US immigration interview. We've all bad-mouthed Trump.

[facthunter]

I wouldn't go there IF the trip was FULLY paid for. No one is SAFE.. It's a FAILED State. The Lunatics are running the ASYLUM.. Nothing is Predictable. Nev

[Marty_d]

I used to want to go to the USA. Not now.

[facthunter]

I thought of going to LIVE in PORTLAND ONCE. Nev

[facthunter]

GOOD things USED to happen in the USA. NOW it's the Realm of the ULTRA rich. Stealers Not Builders. Nev

[Jerry_Atrick]

I was supposed to go to the US this week for work. I managed to get out of it thanks to the daughter starting university. I have lived in the US by proxy and it can be a great place, but, even 25 years ago now, when the country was more unified, it had deep seated problems caused by inequality and indifference. I will never forget the day I was accosted by deprived black people near Philadelphia railway station - they only wanted help. It was heart-breaking.

I have also thought about living there, too. I will be visiting their shortly as a friend has sadly contracted/developed Parkinson's disease. If I had have moved there when first invited, I would have a decent percentage of a company doing very well.. life's missed opportunities, I guess. 

 

There are (or were) cities I had thought of moving to in the USA. Pittsburgh has long shed its grimy industrial image and is (or was) generally a clean, safe and family oriented city; Boston and a lot of the North East seems a great spot Bismarck in North Dakota appeals as well. 

 

Not much down south to think about.. 

 

[facthunter]

TOO TROPPO. in Florida. Boston can be COLD.  Nev
