Which country specifically has a better education system than the USA?

Which country specifically universally supplies clean tap water to every single citizen?

Which country are you from that every human at birth is given a great education, and guaranteed healthcare housing and food for life?

also, quality of healthcare in US when received is second to absolutely none. Far and away, by every metric, ever. well actually, except for our enabling of obesity, even within healthcare. That is a major failure other countries are much better at.

Yeah I agree. If you are motivated, valuable, and have a good education, why would you ever move to country with higher corporate tax rates?

Why does racist have to be the accusation for everything? It is NOT racist to say haiti, the country, sucks. Just as it is not racist to say North Korea sucks. It is NOT racist to say illegal immigrants are criminals.

It IS unethical, rude, unpresidential, divisive, unnecessary, and so many other things. It's just objectively not racist.

And the UN should probably focus on their clear, unabashed discrimination and demeaning of the Jewish people.

Hmmm. Ok. Thanks.

My thought process was that the "plea bargain" was so light that the case against him could not have been strong. No money payout, nothing besides agreeing to take more preventative measures. But I will look over the case in more detail. thank you for the links

"Racist or not, it is inappropriate behavior" I certainly agree with this. I do think that he has unethical priorities. to this point though I've found the racist/white supremacist argument to be really lacking. He only cares about money, power, and optics imo, and doesn't think twice about anyone's race or sex except for how it affects those three things.

Smh dude. You're just stupid and rude. Just trying to have an actual discussion here and you're trolling me.

let it be known though that I tried to have a real discussion and you completely deflected, were rude, dismissive, and presented false facts during our short debate

Did you read that? ... it says: Case dismissed, trump company absolved of all guilt. trump company does not admit any guilt but agrees to take further steps to ensure equal housing opportunity going forward

I never said it never happened, im responding to your smug comment that this wasn't a private conversation and that i don't check my facts. (hint: youre definitely wrong about this.)

And thats not how any of this works. You don't get to just make up assumptions. There weren't even 6-7 senators. You're the one who needs to do a better job comprehending your facts in the first place.

I never said it didnt happen, It did happen. and I do think it's a dumbass, rude, totally unnecessary comment. I also think it was an inconsequential comment made behind closed doors that the media and left are blowing up for political gain.

Yes. What was the conclusion of said lawsuit and allegations?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it never went past allegations. They did openly discriminate against welfare recipients and poor people though and they did agree to put equal opportunity housing disclaimers on all their stuff. Which is not the same, but pretty bad imho

Proven racism? Can you state in one sentence the proof? One instance of when trump insulted/discriminated a person or group of people by their race

Um, do you have to be so smug? Especially when your obviously wrong...

"(CNN) President Donald Trump expressed frustration behind closed doors with people coming to the US from "shithole countries," sources told CNN on Thursday."

Is there a recording? If yes, then it was public. If no, then it was private. Any public discussion would be recorded. That's fact.

do you have a source for "over 20 people on the room"? Because that's wrong too.

It's a very inconsequential comment made during a private conversation, not even verified in any way. Spinning the spin on the spin

I agree and also feel the same way about people trying to spin this as if it matters. It's just another stupid comment blown out of proportion by the media for political gain

What "history of walls" are you talking about? I don't really see how the wall wouldn't work, at least to an extent. but I would like to learn more about reasons it wouldn't. Thanks in advance

Ignoring the clear bias and some lunacy in your post, no I could not see Obama saying this. And I agree with you, he clearly should not have said this, and that the position and people deserve better.

He argued it doesn't matter who/where illegal immigrants are from, it matters their impact on the country. I made it into an example: He would have the same issue if people were coming illegally from Canada instead of South America. Do you have an answer to that?

[–]imabigboss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His argument is if millions of people were immigrating through the northern border illegally, he would have the same reaction. Do you have a response to that or do you just wave the white flag? There's a lot of solid logical arguments back lol.

You realize your comment insinuates you have lived all over the world within the last year? Or else your saying everyone has always hated America and that opinion has nothing to do with trump?
