I see three African Countries listed for a total of 486 people out of a Continent with a population of 1.216 billion people who live in 54 countries. I don't see any listing for Haiti.
Furthermore, currently there are 17-50 million of illegal aliens living in USA and refusing to go back. This's another large batch of people who think their home countries are sh$$holes.

What a surprise!

Here's a fresh idea: fix your god damn country so that your citizens won't need to escape to other countries.
Didn't realize citizens of countries could "fix" natural disasters and violence of hate groups. Are you effin kidding me?

Again I say, how he won is debatable.

Did You Get Lost?
It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.

4,3,2,1

Those protections were to only be temporary. You do know what temporary means, don't you? It's the opposite of permanent. Refugees aren't immigrants either.

I'm a veteran, I have traveled around the world and the word shole was used many times to describe problematic countries by officers and enlisted personnel.

I have read many books about Vietnam and WW 2 and soldiers have to use the term "shole" to describe countries, cities, and town......it is what it is, get over it!
No, we will not get over it.

He won by winning the majority of electoral votes. How is that debatable?

Yes, the way he phrased it is relevant. Why else would someone openly make disparaging comments about other people's countries, other than to be bigoted and angry, and to express utter disdain? I don't see any other logic behind it. If Trump wanted to discuss merit immigration and enforcing the law, he could have said those things.

If what you say about Trump "trolling" is true, then we don't have a President, we have a petulant, overgrown child in office masquerading as a President. If this is what you really want in office, then you are being part of the problem in terms of getting the country united.


Trump is irrelevant.

Trump is a means to an end.

Anyone on the GOP side would have been treated pretty much the same as the Left has treated Conservatives for decades now.


You can support Trump's agenda without necessarily supporting the man or everything he says.

The fact that he ruffles your feathers so easily is your problem.....not ours.

A racist ignoramus can not be the leader of the free world. He has done irreparable harm to the image and prestige of our Country that will not be repaired until he is GONE!
