OT Merkel and Trump

But the Irish Prime Minister sure clotheslined Comrade Water Boy!

Here in America, in your great country, 35 million people claim Irish heritage, and the Irish have contributed to the economic, social and political of cultural life of this great country for the last 200 years.

Ireland came to America, because of deprived liberty, deprived of opportunity, of safety — of even food itself the Irish believed and four decades before Lady Liberty lifted her lamp, we were the wretched refuse on the teeming shore.

We believed in the shelter of America, in the compassion of America, in the opportunity of America, we came and we became Americans.

We lived the words of John F. Kennedy, long before he uttered him. We asked not what America could do for us, but what we could do for American — and we still do.

They came through the front door.
Interesting view was from the movie
"Gang of New York"
 
Love that movie! But we sure as hell wanted the Irish later when we needed bodies to fight the civil war! They came and died in droves to save the union.

I didn't realize that hispanics (our most recent immigrants) are the biggest ethnic group in the Marines and comprise 18% of enlisted Marines today.

So, there are some 66 million displaced persons in the world. Are you saying they all should be allowed to immigrate to the USA? If not what are your criteria from who should be admitted?

Stu, you soft, bleeding heart, low testosterone, "Girly men" need to shut up and watch a "Real Man", Donald J. Trump, keep America safe from the Anti America, Anti Semite, Jihadists who have infiltrated America with aims to destroy it !!.

To fight for something you must want it, and those who worked their citizenship through fighting for this country get a.t front row enterence
 
Merkel is a middle linebacker and PHD in chemistry -- very very smart and tough lady.

And an amazing leader who has led Germany to a top position in the world and an economic powerhouse. Talk about a strong middle class. Happy people. They all get six to eight weeks vacation, have tons of holidays and free health care. free college and low unemployment.

I work there all the time and I see it.

(And by the way DT better be careful with his Tariff talk, BMW might just pick up their ball and go home and where would that leave South Carolina? And if Mercedes and Audi follow, Mexico will be building a fence on their side of the border.)

Bodi, you'll like this: woke up with the stomach flu last biz trip to Berlin five weeks ago. Stayed in bed all day. Then realized it wasn't the flu at all so went to emergency at 4AM. Had my appendix taken out the next night. Doctors were amazing. Two nights stay with in a room with two old German guys who could really snore!

Cost for the operation, the scans, the stay? 3,000 Euro. ($3,100)

Here it would have cost $35,000! If Donnie can fix that he'll have my vote next time.

Totally agree on that one, DIP.

But why is Trump denying access to Afghan Translators who risked their lives (and are still targeted by taliban) while fights alongside our boys -- I just heard an interview with a US Special Forces Guy who is trying to get them into the USA -- This soldier said one of the translators saved his life by shooting a guy who was about to attack his back. He also said the translators often were able to smell out an attack because they knew the culture.

The translator who saved the soldier -- while he was waiting to be cleared to come to the USA -- was captured by the taliban and the f-ers cut his head off. His family is still there and vulnerable. What happens next time we go to a country and need volunteers to translate, etc?

I would welcome these kinds of heroes to our country.

Beach -- there are 231 students from Trumps 7 countries studying at USC. Most of them are engineers pursuing advanced degrees. If Trump would have had his way they would have already been deported. Luckily we have something called the rule of law and the constitution. I'm not saying we should or can take everyone. But certainly translators who fought alongside our boys in Iraq and Afghanistan deserve a place. Immigrants are not the bad guys here. The rich people who are licking their chops as Trump gives them break after break after break -- remember 2007? These people are pitting poor vs. poor and what is happening?

A shitload of people who voted Trump are about to lose their health care, their medicare and programs that have helped them stay in their house or deal with a catastrophic illnesses.

Okay i'm all over the place now.

We had much more government in the 50s and higher tax rates for the wealthy -- and it is looked upon as the golden era in American by conservatives. People like Trump and his cronies can pay more.

Bodi made me swear to stop the liberal, libtard, snowflake rants...

So, I'm off to hit some golf balls. Go Irish. Beat Temple...

I would have saved the 3100 dollars and taken my own appendix out.
 
Germany took in the basically non-functioning, poor East Germany twenty years ago without a blink and instead of sending them into a depression they soared.

The currently have the 4th biggest economy in the world -- with far fewer people. Since 2003, it's not China but Germany, that colossus of European socialism, that has either led the world in export sales or at least been tied for first. Even as we in the United States fall more deeply into the clutches of our foreign creditors -- China foremost among them -- Germany has somehow managed to create a high-wage, unionized economy without shipping all its jobs abroad or creating a massive trade deficit, or any trade deficit at all. And even as the Germans outsell the United States, they manage to take six weeks of vacation every year. They're beating us with one hand tied behind their back.

If the Germans are so rich why aren't they paying their fair share at NATO? Bush and Obama didn't do crap about it. Trump cares about America. Also, you brag about Germanys health care. Who was the mothaFeiin President for the last 8 years ? Blame Obama and Bush and congress and the Senate. And hope Trump can turn it around--Or do you care about the American people?

He cares ? Starving the elderly, wasting tax dollars on golf, cutting almost all domestic programs. Yeah he cares...about himself and his dysfunctional inner circle.

The last 16 years under Bush and Obama the rich have got richer and the poor have got poorer. You need to wake up ! Were the last 16 years Trump's fault? Trump is doing a great job so far in getting America back to work. You talking about Trump caring only about himself and his inner circle is childish and ignorant. You only care about your party. Trump is a populist--part Democrat and part Republican. He didn't need this job. He took it so he can go down in history as a great President. The last thing he wants to do is fail. I hope you wish he suceeds because if he does--America succeeds !
