More liberals in America are offended than the entire population of Haiti.

Re: Trump upgrades Haiti to shithole status...apology demand
yeah it is a shit hole, unfortunately. instead of being offended, something should be done to help them up.
Re: Trump upgrades Haiti to shithole status...apology demand
The mayor of the number one shithole in America Baltimore took time from her busy day to write an open letter voicing her outrage at Trump's comments. The same Mayor who didn't have heat in her frozen schools until it went public and she was forced to do so and the same mayor who's city now has 10 murders in 11 days of this year.

See, this surprises me because I did not see you as being a neocon style interventionist pushing regime changes in other countries.zombie wrote:no. links to where i can stop corruption and reform or change leadership for shithole nations would be nice though. nations are not born shiholes.Foo wrote:Do you need some links to where you can send personal donations to shithole nations?zombie wrote:yeah it is a shit hole, unfortunately. instead of being offended, something should be done to help them up.
Personally, I think we have enough of our own issues we need to address before either becoming the shelter to the world or fighting other governments we do not like. And that comes from someone with extended family living in a shithole country who need help. I help them in ways that I can, but I do not expect you to pay for my choices.

not a neocon. i think there is a lot of interference from outside haiti, affecting them. america doesn't need to start a war with a nation.Foo wrote:See, this surprises me because I did not see you as being a neocon style interventionist pushing regime changes in other countries.zombie wrote:no. links to where i can stop corruption and reform or change leadership for shithole nations would be nice though. nations are not born shiholes.Foo wrote:Do you need some links to where you can send personal donations to shithole nations?zombie wrote:yeah it is a shit hole, unfortunately. instead of being offended, something should be done to help them up.

Well, I am 100% for pretending Haiti does not exist. They can come knocking when they want to buy things from American business.zombie wrote:not a neocon. i think there is a lot of interference from outside haiti, affecting them. america doesn't need to start a war with a nation.Foo wrote:See, this surprises me because I did not see you as being a neocon style interventionist pushing regime changes in other countries.zombie wrote:no. links to where i can stop corruption and reform or change leadership for shithole nations would be nice though. nations are not born shiholes.Foo wrote:Do you need some links to where you can send personal donations to shithole nations?zombie wrote:yeah it is a shit hole, unfortunately. instead of being offended, something should be done to help them up.

well, that's probably just about as proactive as bitching that they are a shithole or being offended for them.Foo wrote:

Re: Trump upgrades Haiti to shithole status...apology demand
Lots of Haitians working at Mar a Lago!!!
Re: Trump upgrades Haiti to shithole status...apology demand
The idea is to present the reality and restrict their access. I would say the president declaring he wants fewer people from those countries is very proactive.zombie wrote:well, that's probably just about as proactive as bitching that they are a shithole or being offended for them.Foo wrote:

Re: Trump upgrades Haiti to shithole status...apology demand
Glad you see Trump is not hypocritical. Not only is he willing to cut off a source of his labor. It he does not discriminate against them in hiring.Jmac Attack wrote:Lots of Haitians working at Mar a Lago!!!

Re: Trump upgrades Haiti to shithole status...apology demand
According to you he hires people from Haiti. Why not hire people from Scandinavia?

Baltimore mayor pissed me off but back to the topic at hand. Sideshow Bob stomps on yet another rake.

Re: Trump upgrades Haiti to shithole status...apology demand
"Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said “take them out.” Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!" <-- so either trump didn't actually say anything about "haiti is a shithole". or he did and he is lying and backtracking. so the question becomes, is foo peddling fake news?
