Let's face it Trump has a way of putting his big foot in doodah.

My prediction is that he's either going to be the best president the US has had...or the worst. Jury's out.

Wonder what the odds are for him not lasting the 100 days?

Loo at the reality; you've taken in close to 200,000 people from a culture distant from your own. There are no jobs for most of them so what do you think happens? Their government,like many in Europe, wants to portray an image. Why do you think there has been a rise in Europe, as well as here, of nationalism? The common citizen feels that his country no longer protects him, no longer takes care of him so he might as well do it himself.

Who is taking care of all the immigrants that have flooded Europe that have no jobs and no homes? The ordinary man through his hard work and taxes. You mean Sweden has no homeless problem with their own citizens? No poverty? No hunger? Yet the immigrants are being taken care of better then their own people.

There is a town in Vermont called Rutland. They have praised themselves, at least the politicians, at taking in 100 refugee families and giving them homes. How wonderful is that! Right now we here have over 300,000 vets who are homeless, men who went to war for us. I guess they don't count do they? I was in the Big Apple yesterday where homeless are all over. Maybe that town could have helped them out instead?

Crime is up in Sweden as well as most European countries but it behooves the government to play it down so their people don't get pissed. Watch as Merkle and others who welcomed these people lose election on after another. European freedom of immigration is changing the culture and the common man does not want it yet the elites, the media plays it all down.

As for Trump, do you actually know the intelligence agencies didn't confirm to him what that documentary showed? You know he's not the type to let people know what intelligence agencies tell him.

I do not totally disagree with everything you say however this bit.

Actually Sweden has low homeless ,poverty and hunger . You would doubtless regard them as left leaning liberals and they have a strong social welfare system .
For that matter I have often heard people state that the US has the highest level of poverty ,homeless etc that they saw in a first world country . This was just random statements of travellers though .
It did surprise me though when a guy I knew said he had never seen such poverty as the US when he came from a pacific island with an extreamly low gdp. Hey as far as I had thought poverty there was standard . Well he said people there didn't have many electronic gagets but he had never seen homelessness or hunger there .

Yup we have poverty all right but our poor all have air conditioning, I phones, cable and very expensive sneakers. No I am not kidding.

Then you should open your eyes . I have been to the US, I saw poverty and people without those things or a roof over their head .
You may choose not to see but that doesn't change it.

Are there some? Sure but we'd rather make the effort to house and feed someone from a worn torn country than take care of our own.
I see them when I go into the city; what effort is made to reach and help these people? Very little but much talk. Oh they have shelters and food kitchens but they are not afforded what a refugee gets. Garb a guy as he sleeps in the subway and tell him you're going to take him to a home where he can be a man? Nope send them to a shelter where crime is rampant but as a refugee they get homes and sponsors and lots of goodies.

We treat our poor very poorly. We say it is thier fault they are poor. We take no responsibility. We let the ones who served us suffer. We let those in need suffer. All so a few can have way too much. The many can be lead on a leash to try and attain more. We don't take care of each other, nor admit what the real underlying problems are.

FDR started his chats to get us warmed up to the idea of going to war with Germany and its allies. Our people didn't want to help the Europeans and the Jews out. We don't like helping others. We just want a bigger slice of pie. This greed allows the few to control us. Sad!

[CUSP82]

Back in FDR's day he was being hammered by the media; now does that sound familiar? Yes it was about the war and the economy and a whole bunch of topics. The big media of his day was newspapers and they were all owned and run by Republicans. His fireside chats were a way to get around the media and go directly to the people. Sounds like an early tweet to me!

I wish this world could be all things to all people. Then what? Personally, I like to sit on my ass all day, f*ck the wife evernday, work on my tan. But then there's reality. So. If I can be that, do that, what's the drive? The need to achieve better than the rest, in career, income, love, penis gains. Isnt that the reason we all get up in the morning. Other wise, what's the point?

True Cusp, and that is part of the reason our forebears were against fighting Hitler. The Republicans were friends with Hitler. He was making them lots of money. Even Grandpa Bush. Grandpa Trump?
