Immigration is the bedrock that your nation is built on but for some inexplicable reason you'all decided that being insular within your walls and tariffs are preferable to what made your nation great. It's confusing and worrying to an outside like me. Not any kind of nationalism just using common sense... True we are a nation of immigrants but the world has changed and become a bit more dangerous just freely allowing anyone and everyone to come and go without having a clue who they are!Heck some of the nutjobs that have caused havoc we did know who they were and had them on watch lists but didn't/couldn't do a damn thing about them... Don't get me wrong,i don't think a wall is going to do much for security concerns on our southern border.We don't have a clue of probably more than 10% of how many tunnels are under our border as we speak,yet we have military bases lined up only hundreds of miles from each other protecting european countries borders from Russia... A wall will only keep out those who are honest,it won't keep drugs and those with connections out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without meaning any disrespect to Trump and his supporters... if Trump can be president, well anyone can. Within reason of course. Did you notice Trump's daughter, Ivanka Mr old fart? I was at work doing Old Fart Stuff and actually wasn't able to watch the inauguration, so I missed much of the fanfare (other than what was shown on the news). To tell the truth I think I originally started to dislike Trump because of The Apprentice. I don't like reality shows, period, and Trump constantly struck me as a self-important blowhard (and the pretentious appellation "the Donald" drove me nuts). Goodness, I'm close to ranting so I'll dial it back. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit hypocritical of you, Captain Russkie, coming from a country that exercises such tight control of immigration and terrorizes the poor souls who try to enter, illegally. The immigrant population of the United States alone, is almost twice the total population of Australia, so we do more than our share. We'd just prefer it to be legal immigration, as do you. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can do it by acre too. The USA has more immigrants per square mile than Australia. I don't think there is any reason to compare though. I don't think either of our countries need to feel obligated to add more. Both have done a good job. The USA doesn't need more immigrants, especially illegal immigrants. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellapenella Posted January 23, 2017 #738 Share Posted January 23, 2017 The best part of the parade start at around point 5:30. The Marine Band Drum Major leads the 99-piece band and will use a mace to provide concise commands throughout the inaugural parade to include signals to start and stop music,“forward march,” “mark time,” “halt,” and left or right turn. The 35-inch mace weighs 3.5 pounds and is adorned with a double braided gold chain. It is built of Malacca cane with a gold plated ball and a gold plated ferrule. The ball is engraved with the unit’s title as well as the major battles and campaigns of the United States Marine Corps. It is also topped by a fiberglass gold painted replica of the National Capitol Dome. On the bottom half of the ball are the United States and Marine Corps emblems. During the parade, the Marine Band will play: http://www.marineband.marines.mil/Unit-Home/Presidential-Inauguration-2017/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellapenella Posted January 23, 2017 #740 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I love Parades, especially President Donald J. Trump's Inauguration day Parade. So, he's made a National Holiday,or something on the way of being one? Patriotic Day? http://www.newsweek.com/us-presidents-declare-federal-holidays-545878 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashotep Posted January 23, 2017 #742 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I finally found a real picture of the inauguration crowds. This is what I saw. Quote To be sure, Brit Hume was no cheerleader for Donald Trump leading up to the election, but at least he had the integrity to tell the truth about the deceitful media’s attempt to prove Trump supporters have somehow magically deserted him. http://100percentfedup.com/boom-fox-news-leftist-chris-wallace-attempts-trump-smear-over-inauguration-crowd-sizefox-news-brit-hume-backs-up-trump-on-fake-news-story-video/ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The writer would have been fired immediately. The media outlets would have been calling for a lynching. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to talk about crowd size meanwhile President Trump will be doing the things that our votes went to him for. I think Trump will hold the media accountable from this point on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Rush and Beck were slammed in the media pretty hard. Around the same time I think a Republican staffer was saying the Obama girls lacked class or something like that. Not the same as saying they will shoot people. I totally agree that going after kids is juvenile. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
