The US Hamster Wheel

[John Hill]

If Mexico is paying for this wall what has that got to do with the hoards pouring into the US and taking all the jobs and women?

[Undried Plum]

Wall?

What wall?

[Undried Plum]

Mr Trump,

Tear down this wall.

I don't suppose you care Plum,living in the UK,who will pay for the costs of all of those ,who wish to pour into the US,without jobs or any means to support themselves.

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses"

I don't suppose you care, living in the US, who will pay for the costs of all of those who wish to pour into the US, without jobs or any means to support themselves.

Nevertheless, you will idiotically salute "Liberty".

Do you expect Britain ( at the cost of your taxes )to endlessly accept the tired, the poor and the huddled masses?

[Undried Plum]

Nope.

That's why we don't have a statue with that idiotic promise.

Nor do we worship such absurdity.

We can't afford it. Not even at ffrench-promised expense.

[Seenenough]

So why then should the US accept all who wish to live here?

[Undried Plum]

See inscription.

The Injuns might agree with you.

Because while the Statue of Liberty statue stands it would be hypocritical not to.....oh...never mind!.

The US have and always will welcome those who to apply ,and qualify ,to enter legally-My family and I entered through legal means.

I understand that it is the same with Aus and NZ also.

Of course, back when that quote was first spoken, there wasn't really any such thing as immigration control.

[Undried Plum]

Back then, white immigration was actively encouraged, both in the US and in Oz.

Exasperating for the true Native peoples of both of those countries, but rampant nevertheless.

No. That's what baseball rules are for. eg Three strikes and you're out.

Jeffrey Gunter (the Chump's 'shoe-in' Ambassador to Iceland) apparently really likes the place so much he had to be coaxed back by Mike Pence after a trip to a White House meeting.

Apparently these nutters are in the President's 'inner circle advisory group'. There is no hope. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/cu ... p-1034927/

With a crew like that, he could start a pirate ship.

Come to think about it, maybe he has!

[Boac]

Perhaps, if he wore the (very fetching,) mask over one eye instead of both?.....

[Undried Plum]

And Andrew Porchester as Navigating Officer.

He's ever so good at adding a bit of the honesty look in tv interviews, y'know.

[Woody]

He’s at it again

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other top Republicans shot down President Donald Trump's suggestion to delay the November election until 'people can properly, securely and safely vote.'

Trump does not have the power to delay the election. That would take an act of Congress and even the president's top allies on Capitol Hill made it clear Thursday that would not happen.

McConnell pointed out elections hadn't been delayed in the past and did not need to be now.

'Never in the history of the country through wars, depressions, and the Civil War have we ever not had a federally scheduled election on time. And we'll find a way to do that again this November 3,' McConnell told a local Kentucky television station.

He confirmed he expected the election to take place on November 3. 'That's right. We'll cope with whatever the situation is in the election on November 3 as already scheduled.'
