There's discrimination everywhere and discrimination is discrimination, one discrimination is not worse than the other because the very idea of discrimination is gotten from the feeling that another human is for whatever reason inferior and beneath you and hence should not be associated with
The fact that it's everywhere does not mean it has to be condoned anywhere.

Below is Temple1288's post.

Temple1288:


Some quotes of these Republicans and Trump supporters are taken too far.. Remember when Hillary Clinton said "All (Blacks) of them look alike"?
That would have made headlines on CNN and BBC (who's country is on fire)

I wouldn't rule out discrimination in Mississippi or the entire South but it's not so much as CNN show people outside. Is it a crime to put your country first?

Mississippi is filled with Blacks. When you visit the University of Southern Miss or the Mississippi State University you'd see a lot of Black students living a free life...
Does the "entire south", not imply 'more than in other part of America'?

Lynching, today at least, sounds like a grave exageration, but it signifies much more than "not worse than the other", especially if you were the one being discriminated against. Except if those telling you they are hurting are just lying, in your opinion?

I wrote on the if Trump had said what Hillary had said when she first said it. When some imagine Trump saying what she said, they see him on a campaign platform and the words they hear are "Who cares? Lock em up!" It's the perception some have of him. Be they right or not. Context, of the historical type included, is what allowed her to get away with it while he wouldn't.

The article below has the answers to your questions. USMCA is a way better deal for Americans than NAFTA. And the details were sourced from the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative; Associated Press; Reuters; Bloomberg and USA TODAY research before one Clownish, ignoramus baboon on nairaland comes here to accuse me of getting my info from fox news. Just read the article below it's very concise, read it and tell me why any "American" with half a brain should prefer NAFTA to the new deal

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/10/01/comparison-nafta-and-usmca-trade-agreements/1487163002/

Thanks for the article but I thought you read the 1900 pages document instead of articles I could have googled myself. I seem to have misunderstood you. My bad. You are right, USMCA is an upgrade to NAFTA but the name is the biggest adjustment that has been made. 90% of NAFTA remain the same. I like that Trump is targeting low-pay production for many reasons and I hope everyone is aware that it will drive consumer prices up.

Do you have to read 1900 pages of a document before grasping the basics about it when there are a thousand and one summaries of what it contains out there? Your friend Abbeybailey couldn't even make use of the numerous search engines around to get the simplest of the summaries to educate himself on the contents of the USMCA, it was too much work for him cheesy. On to more serious issues;

1. Better pay for workers doesn't automatically translate to higher consumer prices, you forget that the tariff reliefs that are granted companies who agree to produce in the US and get their product's components from the US is meant to create a balance for the finances of those companies so they can actually afford to pay higher wages without necessarily having to increase the prices of their end products.
2. Trump is not targeting low pay production for any negative reasons, he simply wants better wages and more jobs for American citizens

You know I just reread this your post and I seemed to have missed out on the bolded parts when I first read it. Let me just advise you my dear, don't be a lucasbaboon. If you don't know who or what a lucasbaboon is, it means an illogical, irrational, perpetually angry and unrepentant liar who is more interested in peddling falsehood and propaganda rather than make fact based argument. I don't believe you are like lucasbaboon, let's stick to the verifiable facts and not allow our emotions and sentiments make us throw out spurious and ridiculous claims like the irrational lucasbaboon is wont to do. Looking forward to having more fact based, educating and enlightening exchanges with you wink

George H.W. Bush: Farewell to the quintessential Texan

Former President George H.W. Bush died on Friday the 30th of December 2018 at the age 94.
Well known as the quintessential Texan, Bush was born and spent his earlier years on the East Coast. He grew to be so endeared to the Texan Life and adopted Houston his hometown following his early success in the states oil-rich fields in 1948.
The young Yale University graduate who had just served in World War II came to the town of Odessa accompanied by his wife and son (later US president ) George W Bush. After a few years, the Bush family moved to the city of Houston, where the political legacy that would span several decades began.
Bellow is a brief timeline of his political
1962 - Bush ran for a Senate seat but lost.
1966 - Elected to the House of Representatives.
1971 - Lost a second term bid to the Senate.
1971 - President Nixon appoints Bush Ambassador to the United Nations.
1980 - Elected Ronald Reagan's vice president.
1984 - Re-elected as Vice President
1988 - Bush announces his intent to run for office as early as 1985 and became well known for stating "Read my lips: no new taxes". Bush becomes Americas 41st President.
1992 - Bush losses a second term bid for office to the Democratic candidate Bill Clinton.
After serving as president, Bush and his wife, who died in April of 2018, returned to Houston. They could have moved anywhere after his public office service, yet they chose to return home where it all started.

Which better deal has trump ever negotiated? Is it North Korea, is it with China or even NAFTA? Trump always put the US in a worse position after his so called negotiations. North Korea is in a stronger position after the Singapore summit with all its nuclear arsenals intact, US is in a far worse position before the trade war (although the trade war is hurting China also ), and take it from me China will never back down.

No problem. God should give us the grace to see the end of 2020. The whole Trump myth would unravel.

In 2000 the simpsons predicted the trump presidency and also predicted trump leaving the US broke.

This prophesy seems to becoming fulfilled as trump has expanded the US budget deficit and at the same time reduced corporate tax while fighting a trade war with China.

DC, Md. officials ready with subpoenas in Trump hotel case

https://apnews.com/96a295d90acf449dbf41f6fee4c28d63

WASHINGTON (AP) — The attorneys general of the District of Columbia and Maryland said Monday that they are moving forward with subpoenas for records in their case accusing President Donald Trump of profiting off the presidency.

U.S. District Court Judge Peter J. Messitte approved the legal discovery schedule in an order Monday. Such information would likely provide the first clear picture of the finances of Trump’s Washington, D.C., hotel.

Trump’s Justice Department lawyers filed a notice to the court Friday that appeared to challenge the Maryland judge’s decision to allow the case to move forward. The president’s notice that he may seek a writ of mandamus — to have the appeal heard by a higher court — is considered an “extraordinary remedy” that’s hard to prove and partly rests on showing Messitte’s decisions to be clearly wrong.

The Justice Department declined to comment.

“We’ve got the discovery ready to go,” said Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh. “Their objective at this point is just to keep the doors shut, they don’t want any of this information out in public and they don’t want our case to move forward. So they’re going to be be obstructing as much as they can.”

District of Columbia Attorney General Karl A. Racine said in a statement that the subpoenas would go out to third-party organizations and federal agencies “to gather the necessary evidence to prove that President Trump is violating the Constitution’s emoluments clauses — our nation’s original anti-corruption laws.”

Trump has been fighting multiple lawsuits that argue foreign representatives’ spending money at the Trump International Hotel are violations of the Constitution’s emoluments clause, which bans federal officials from accepting benefits from foreign or state governments without congressional approval.

The USS John C Stennis and support ships will arrive off the coast of Iran by the end of the week marking the first such US military presence in the area for eight months. The move comes after Tehran launched a new destroyer, the Sahand, and warned President Trump against continued US sanctions.
