actually not that different from today. neither dems nor reps want to close the mexico border because they want to be able to keep exploiting poor mexicans."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

Originally posted by guacamole View PostThere are a couple of reasons I think he should resign; however, I don't see how this creates any worse of a diplomatic flap than the state department docs leaked a few years ago. It's a diplomatic flap, and it gives the country something of a black eye, but a diplomatic flap is all it is.
And this is assuming that Trump even said it, which he implies he didn't.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by JimL View PostOf course he said it, there were 5 or 6 republicans in the room along with 1 democrat, Dick Durbin, and not one has come to the Presidents defense. If it weren't true Lindsey Graham, Trumps new best bud, would have been the first to refute it to the media.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by seer View PostI'm close to 65 and I have been hearing how bad Haiti is since I was a kid. I wonder why they just can't seem to get it together.
Here is a pretty good (IMOHBAO) assessment of Haiti's plight, including the fact that it was pretty much a French colony of slaves, harshly ruled. What's puzzling is why the Dominican Republic, sharing the same island, seems to have "gotten it", but Haiti is still Haiti.
Anecdotally, there just seems to be an overwhelming "live for today" and don't worry about tomorrow attitude. That was evident when we brought some farm specialists from Waco, doing the rabbit / manure / farming thing, producing rabbits for meat, using their waste for fertilizer, etc. The very first night we were there, Haitians broke into the storage facility and stole all the rabbits, cooking them and eating them the next day. An "immediate feast" with no planning for future.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Besides, you've got this backwards: it's Durbin's claim, so he bears the burden of proving it. It's not up to anybody to disprove it.Last edited by Mountain Man; 01-12-2018, 11:32 AM.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

According to CNN's Jake Tapper, the President did use the term in question ("____hole"), but he used it in a general sense. The narrative that he used the term to describe specific countries appears to an invention.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
