Jingthing Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I agree. TVF has gone downhill considerably in the last two/three months. It has become a Donald Trump bashing and hate forum. I'm going to join chuckd and Neversure. If I want to hear or read Trump bashing I can listen to CNN or read the Washington Post.Both excellent sources.

With respect, Trump creates his own mess. That's why the media is reporting about it. You can surround yourself with like minded people, but that's probably not the best thing to do. Seeing this from both sides is good! One reason I travel. It's a mind opening experience and gets rid of many prejudices. I've had some wonderful times in Muslim countries. And terrible times in Christian ones. And vice a versa. After some 90 countries, I've come to the conclusion most people are good. It's their governments that are the problem.

Besides having a little fun mocking the ones who kept saying Madame President for a year it's so tiring and I do worry about the mental state of this nonstop President bashing. The louder they scream the less we will hear, Craig makes so excellent posts and I do take the time to educate myself on his links and posts and that's what it should be like without the histaria and name calling.

Is that most foreigners on here, or have you conducted a world wide poll to back your assertions. The latter I doubt and it would appear that like many others, you tend to exaggerate or at the very least, make things up. Maybe if you got out and about then you would get some real facts, not the alternative ones you're proffering here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a totality of my 38 hr week work, I deal with the new arrivals and few suggest anything less than big horizon for host country prospectus but also their own outcomes. This is my own view on the ground of course. Others will just dislike the idea for different reasons. The skills refugees bring are untold too. They bring post RF Visa are bigger than the welfare deficit ultimately they take which has most impact on voter reactions. I had client today [2/2/17] showing their crumpled stonemasonry factory, He is 32 yrs old replete with an impressive photographic cv. A stonemasonry outfit in Aleppo employing 25 people with immense architectural work. Church scale. These skills we do not have in aus on any scale. That was one story at 5.25 tonight. I have hundreds of others, Brand new arrivals. Sure there are welfare differentials for other povs but driving home I am thinking about the 4500 aud i spent on one of my sibling's headstones this fellow would have done better for so much less. He wants to works with skills we just do not have in a fair market sense. Yet we fear his wanting to do what every immigrant generation has always done in australia. Work hard and succeed. That's good. I'm sure if his skill set put you out of a job by offering to work for lower wages, you'd be just as generous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I suspect that there’s not a president in our history that hasn’t been subject to these protests," he answered. "So, I would not advise people who feel strongly or who are concerned about some of the issues that have been raised during the course of the campaign, I wouldn’t advise them to be silent." He added: “Voting matters, organizing matters and being informed on the issues matter.” Hard to argue with him about this. Peaceful protests are a key part of a healthy democracy. As long as they are done within the limits of the law. And most of these protests were doing just that. No anarchists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they are done within the limits of the law. And most of these protests were doing just that. No anarchists. There were anarchists and violence too. Little known to practitioners of mainstream American politics, militant anti-fascists make up a secretive culture closely associated with anarchists. Both reject social hierarchies as undemocratic and eschew the political parties as hopelessly corrupt, according to interviews with a dozen anarchists around the country. While some anarchists espouse nonviolence, others view property damage and even physical attacks on the far right as important tactics. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/02/us/anarchists-respond-to-trumps-inauguration-by-any-means-necessary.html Donald Trump’s inauguration was marred by protesters’ clashes with police, who used pepper spray and stun grenades in a melee just blocks from the new president’s inaugural parade route. Protesters rampaged through downtown Washington DC, smashing shop windows in the run up to the swearing in of the new president. Dressed in black and carrying anarchist flags, the demonstrators, many of them wearing masks, were chased by security personnel spraying what appeared to be tear gas. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/donald-trump-inauguration-protests_uk_58822fd9e4b0f94bb303c845 Mayor of Berkeley answers tough questions following Milo Yiannopoulos riots http://www.ktvu.com/news/233582223-story Edited February 4, 2017 by Ulysses G.

These people spew crazy ideas and get their followers to believe the BS. So yes, I blame those in the "pulpit" for starting the violence. Not the followers. You are right.

And many strongly disagree with his actions. http://edition.cnn.com/2017/02/03/politics/donald-trump-approval-rating/ Quote A majority, 53%, disapprove of the way the President is handling his job, according to a new CNN/ORC poll, marking the highest disapproval for a new elected president since polls began tracking those results. Trump is the only President to hold a net-negative rating this early in his tenure. Overall, 44% approve of the way he's handling the job, seven points below the previous low-point of 51%. Further, the share who disapprove "strongly" of Trump's work as president is nearly as large as the total block who approve, 43% feel intensely negative about Trump.

lannarebirth Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Federal judge temporarily halts Trump travel ban nationwide http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/03/politics/federal-judge-temporarily-halts-trump-travel-ban-nationwide-ag-says/index.html?adkey=bn I don't really understand why everyone gets so up in arms about this kind of stuff. On the one hand they think Trump is going to destroy the democracy and the national institutions, but on the other they seem to have no faith in the institutions themselves. let the process work. Fact is, Executive Orders are a terrible way to attempt to govern. It was terrible when Obama did it, it is terrible when Trump does it. Like Obama, Trump is learning that the US presidency is largely impotent in making domestic decrees and like Obama I expect one after the other of his orders to be overturned. That's how the system was designed to work, and it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
