I've yet to hear anyone say "I'm Swiss American" or I'm "Finnish American" Why is that? I'm feeling left out here. I was born in Denmark but have resided in the USA since childhood. I've yet to see box to check giving me option of being "Danish American". When asked where I'm from it's always the USA. After we know each other I can be asked where I was born because my name sort of gives it away. Are whites from Africa allowed to call themselves "African American" or do you need a special skin tone for that one? A black man who is a Danish resident, is he "African Danish"? If we truly want to stamp out racism we will stop identifying people based on their origin. No more quotas for anything. You get what you get based on merit not nation of origin or skin color. Ohhhh...you sound so much like Dr. Martin Luther King. The left in America will never allow King's dream to be realised. If America becomes color blind and people advance based on merit alone, liberal Democrats will lose their base. Convincing people they are hapless victims, forever in need of government assistance, is what sustains them. If racism dies, they die. Keep stirring up the pot AOC and "the squad."

Which is why Pelosi is waiting for the courts to deliver Trump’s taxes and rule against those who are, on Trump’s orders, refusing to testify before the House. Next up Mueller’s testimony. And in the background the Epstein case progresses. Trump will get the Impeachment he is begging for, just not when he wants it. Don’t bet on the Senate backing him when the time does come, pelosi and the squad calling her racist, dems in disarray , pelosi lost her agenda for the squalor squad of jews haters, terrorist, usa haters puts forward the dem socialist agenda. thereto, the 20 dem candidates follow the squad agenda, surely winning 2020. epstein and his clinton friend, 26x times spent clinton on his perverted friends plane, nice photos of the two exist also all on hannity 14719. mueller and what republicans will ask him to expose his biased investigation. anyway 1. russian hoax 2ndobstruction hoax 3rd rascism hoax whats next impeachment hoax ??? wbr roobaa01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying fake news seems to be a CRUTCH you have along with so many "trump" fans. Impeachment is now and has always been a POWER that congress has to invoke at any time. It is not easy to impeach and then convict a president. It hasn't happened even once. So it's not a casual decision for the house to decide on beginning an impeachment investigation especially in an environment where they know the senate won't convict for loyalty to "trump" reasons. So that may or may not happen. Not going ahead does not exonerate "trump" of the obstruction cases. It simply means they weren't pursued. In the real world most violations are not actually pursued. Two Presidents were impeached, Johnson and Clinton neither was removed from office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe you are suggesting we put anyone who talked to him in Jail? Or maybe you are suggesting only young and pretty women get talked about. I'd just drop it because there are more high ranking Democrats involved than high ranking Republicans. Besides no one really cares anyway. Old rich guys always have young and pretty women - ho hum. I lived in Pattaya. You think I don't know this? You will have to look very hard indeed to find a liberal on here that would not insist that any wrongdoing of this nature should be pursued to its legal punitive end, regardless of the political leanings of the criminals.

This is all about winning 2020 at any cost. The MAGA movement is gaining critical mass and I believe it is not overstatement to say that the Trump train can actually "save" the western world from the descent into far left fascism/marxism. Trump will keep Americans (and by proxy Europeans/Australians who essentially with some delay copy political movements across the pond) free, healthy and wealthy. That a few people are triggered by uncomfortable facts is a small price to pay for assuring our descendants a decent life, free from the terrible realities of strict socialism and the intolerance and misery it would cause.

wayned Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Like it or not, Trump won this week. The news this week has been consumed by the squad of four and we are on page 14 here. He has managed to consume the entire week's news cycle, be it bad or good, but he doesn't care as long as all of the news is about him and no one else and that's all that he cares about. The next time he tweets or talks he will spin it so that whatever he says is benefiting him at the moment he said it with total disregard to the truth!!

bristolboy Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Trump Falsely Claims Four Congresswomen Used the Slur “Evil Jews” After spending much of the week defending his racist assertion that four Democratic congresswomen of color should “go back” to the countries “from which they came,” President Donald Trump on Friday falsely stated that they had used the anti-Semitic slur “evil Jews” and have “call[ed] the people of our country and our country ‘garbage.’ ” None of the congresswomen in question—Reps. Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Rashida Tlaib—have ever been reported to say either of those things. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/07/trump-falsely-claims-aoc-omar-tlaib-pressley-said-evil-jews.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen any evidence that Trump plans to do anything about employers hiring illegals? If he shines a spotlight on that, he's shining one on himself. And since he's counting on the farm vote, there's no way he's going to take meaningful action on that. Farmers are already getting upset over the China impasse.
