When I think of the good things about the States the answer is obviously not especially because of the marvellous lecturers on the TTC courses who impart their knowledge with great skill and obvious love of their subject matter.

However when I see the malicious posts here and elsewhere supporting him and his random cruelty I think yes, you asshats deserve a creep like Trump. But that's probably just an emotional response. Too bad you have such a bullshit gerrymandered electoral college voting system. I've seen it said that a millionaire and the poorest person each have a vote of the same value, but really because of the electoral college system that is not true, in some States a vote is worth three votes in a different State.

This is without even taking into account of the evil Republicans attempts to further disenfranchise voters whom they know won't vote for them. Rule of law? forget about that, look at Joe Arpaio's ludicrous pardon before he's even been sentences. Dog whistle anyone.

EDIT: I have since discovered it's all God's fault. https://youtu.be/z2evzYyHQXU

Well off the top of my head, I'll select his DACA policy as one I would denounce mainly because it's not even a policy he believes in it's just him pandering to racists. As for what law Arpaio broke I guess 'criminal contempt' is one of them. But you already knew all this anyway. Never has my signature been more apt since I ventured into the sewer of the 'political forum'

That is an insightful well-informed post....  What makes you feel you are so acquainted with American politics?  Perhaps you could elaborate more on why we are asshats.  Which of Trump's policies do you denounce?  What law did Arpaio break?

Best regards,

Does Australia offer unlimited unmitigated migration?

Arpaio was a 55 year leo - military police, DEA, 24 years as sheriff.  He was the victim of a political persecution for fulfilling his duties.

1.  You didn't answer my question.  Does Australia offer unmitigated immigration?

2.  He did not break the law, he disregarded a judges order.  She told him not to arrest illegal immigrants.   Hence, he fulfilled his duties.

3.  Regarding:  "Duties" is the other side of the coin whose obverse is 'rights' - Illegal immigrants do not have constitutionally protected rights in this country.

4. DACA was illegal in of in it's conception.  The president does not have the ability to create immigration laws at will.

Imagine,, just how stupid is it to talk to blonde hair and blue eyed people hunting illegal aliens.
Just because some idiot passed a law that should never have been considered doesn't make it a law to pay attention to.
Hey, what is Your take on sanctuary cities?

You're so far off base.

That is not correct, Trump referred it to Congress.

And you're so far up your own arse that you're coming out the other side.

But seriously you want to know my 'take' on sanctuary cities, I'll give you my take on life in general instead and you can adapt that to any other questions you have about my 'take' on things that confuse you.

I think that everybody is well aware of what is 'right' and what is 'wrong' and the reason for that is because we are all human beings and this knowledge is inbuilt. How do I know that you do not want to be harmed in any way or lied to or have your property stolen or cheated etc. How do I know this because I do not want to be lied to etc.

So we have the DACA people, a special group of people who did nothing wrong. The cutoff was 10 years ago, these are people who have lived here and fought for your country some probably died for your country. These are not people who themselves sneaked in.

You seem to think that somehow these 800,000 Americans, (because they are Americans) are depriving the "real" Americans, you know the ones who patriotically shoot up their fellow school children but are not terrorists, and other "genuine" Americans, of jobs.

Why do you think any countries even allow immigrants in. It's the economy stupid. Yes that's right, try and stay with me here because this is very a complex economic idea but anyway as incredible as it may seem to you these people eat food and wear clothes and go to shops and pay taxes and basically contribute to the wealth of the entire nation.

And believe it or not but these 800,000 people who've been living here almost their entire lives also consume stuff like other normal American people. Isn't that amazing. Turns out they actually create jobs, this is why all countries even have immigration, not because they have golden hearts but it's how the economy grows.

But the bottom line is that if you were to put yourself in the situation of these particular DACA people, would you want to be treated the way Trump and his sidekick Foghorn Leghorn are doing. No you would not and you know it's wrong no matter how bitter you are.

And because you know it's wrong you have to keep repeating Donald Trumps barely comprehensible bullshit. He's only pandering to racists and nut jobs because they are the ones who delivered him victory even by losing the popular vote and this is because of the gerrymandering and the electoral college system.

But you know what, being nasty to other people will not increase you're own happiness.
