I think we can all agree, Brian, that Obama, wretched as he is, is a better President of the USA than Donald Trump would be.

Well, there it is in a nutshell.
(I do not refer to John's double-edged remark, despite the sequence here)

Wretched, John? That's not at all how he strikes me. Are you perhaps confusing him with David Cameron?

From high upon his perch Nonsense Man kept close eye upon the discourse. Suddenly a thread appeared where ideas where being exchanged, positions examined. Nonsense Man donned his Supersuit and his Bozo Nose, jumped into his knee jerk mobile and rushed into action.
Go, Nonsense Man! Go!

But we can agree on one thing, John. Not only is Trump not fit to be president of anything at all, he isn't even fit to be let out on the street without a leash and a muzzle.

Brian's # 60.

Here is the video of Trump saying it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...ed-to-tragedy/

Remember he tweeted that message also on Jan. 7. This time he learned his lesson and tweeted the usual "our thoughts and prayers...". But he couldn't restrain himself after the introductory "moment of silence".

He and these political persons are fueling the fire of hatred.

Lots of cowards over there in the Greatest-Nation-The-World-Has-Ever-Seen. (Sorry, I couldn't resist that. My friends here are of course not included in that rude jibe.)

I can understand Trump not wanting to let potential terrorists into the country. After all, in view of the ludicrous ease with which guns can be bought and used to commit massacres, letting terrorists in would simply be taking jobs away from native Americans.

But Janice, that's the nub of it, is it not? One's friends never are, whomsoever one may be.

Perhaps if one should wish for a world with fewer cowards, ragheads, cheese-eating surrender-monkeys etc., one should work towards increasing one's circle of friends.


Editing back:Oh dear. I see from Janice's reply that I didn't make clear what I meant and since it was a naive and shallow observation anyway, I apologise for it.

Don't worry, Ann. I have a sufficiency of defrienders elsewhere. I need to have somewhere to hang out.

Scapegoating is a tried-and-true chicken sh#@ way to score political points. And all this over only 10,000 refugees, in a country as big as the United States. Pathetic.
