TrumpubliCON scare tactics: “They’re coming to take your jobs” while the TrumpubliCONs really are coming to slash your Social Security and Medicare (as Mitch McConnell warned is necessary to pay for the corporate welfare and tax giveaways to billionaires they passed).
It’s funny, though, that even FAUX seems to be fed up with his nonsense, since they spent MORE TIME covering Obama’s campaign rally in Georgia then dump’s! And, BOY, were some of the MAGAotts ticked off about that! It’s HILARIOUS to read some of their tweets!
If some migrant can take your job, then it is time to learn a trade that will pay you better. Right now the companies bring people in on H1Bs to fill positions instead of looking for Americans to hire. Trump is one of them, and his followers don’t care.
" … When a large number of refugees arrive in a given city, does crime rise in subsequent years? It’s a question obviously relevant to many current debates, both in the United States and in Europe. And one many policymakers are focused on now.
To examine this issue, we used refugee resettlement data from the U.S. Department of State’s Worldwide Refugee Processing System to calculate the 10 cities in the US that received the most refugees relative to the size of their population between 2006 and 2015. We then looked at what happened to both their overall crime rates over the same time period using detailed data available from the Federal Bureau of Investigations. This revealed a telling pattern: Rather than crime increasing, nine out of 10 of the communities actually became considerably more safe, both in terms of their levels of violent and property crime. This included places like Southfield, Michigan, a community just outside of Detroit, where violent crime dropped by 77.1 percent. Decatur, Georgia, a community outside Atlanta, experienced a 62.2 percent decline in violent crime. …"

We need to make this voting thing easier. Other countries have a holiday for voting or have it on the weekend. Having voting day on Tuesday was great in 1845, not 2018. Even with early voting, there are too many obstacles. Also, the voter fraud nonsense talk of the GOP has been given way too much power. Read the book “One Person, No Vote” by Carol Anderson. Dr. Anderson gives a great history of the situation and ideas of what needs to be changed.
Like it or not.. the trump has talent for inspiring his army of followers. Which is really scary if you understand the build up to WW1.. WW2.. Vietnam.. Korea.

I know that the President of Less Than Half of America doesn’t have a clue of how to operate a computer though it’s obvious he knows how to “tweet” (this may stem from the fact that he is such a "great, bloody twit, in the words of our British cousins), but I have always supposed that most of his faithful minions at least had an inkling of how to find information about any topic under the sun. The fact that that evidently isn’t the case is “interesting” at best.
Whether you choose to call it “wilful” ignorance or “wilful” stupidity, it is “wilful” in the worst sense of that word!
Two years and we still haven’t learned that this condescending attitude towards those those who don’t conform to liberal/leftist ideology is what got a person like Trump elected in the first place, right? The Democratic party would be doing itself a big favor if they’d stop looking down their nose at people whose votes they need.

7 thousand refugees are not going to fill the 7400+ thousand (7.4 million) job vacancies in the US.
