Funny thing, Everyone lost their minds when Obama ridiculed banks for taking tax payer bailout money to go to Las Vegas for weekend junkets..US tech companies are losing billions because of Trump's campaign rhetoric and not a peep from anyone..
I guess the "permanent" part of the definition you don't fit. At what point would your status in Germany would be considered immigration? A lot of immigrants to the US, particularly from the Americas, come with the idea that they will only be here for a couple years to earn X amount of money for themselves and their family to eventually return. Some do return to build that dream house, business, or retirement ... are they not immigrants if they are living and working for years abroad? Then of course many of these folks end up living here for the rest of their lives because of social ties and opportunities they create here versus what would be waiting for them back home.
Was surprised to see you read it as "name-calling" when I think it was just a way to describe your status as an American living abroad — not as a tourist but as a resident of some particular immigration status – with no apparent plans to return. What do you call it then?

This is symbolic but useless. I want to see the democrats filibuster the living shit out of everything in the Senate. From SC nominees to every single law they try to pass. They don't have 60 senate seats and can't overcome a filibuster so stick it to them.

It depends tho..He could let Pence be Pres. like Bush did..Bush vacation time tallied over a full calendar year in eight years..He was working out everyday at the same time, home on the ranch..White House could be a country club..

I would rather have Trump running the country than Pence
Maybe one day we will all live in peace.
or maybe not. I mean humans have been fighting and killing each other since the beginning of time.
Re-affirms why I absolutely despise the human race

Last I looked Obama is still president. All Trump is doing is setting up his staff which is what he is suppose to do.

Trump Effect: Jewish and Muslim Organizations Form New Alliance
Less than a week after an election that left many minority and religious groups in the United States feeling disenfranchised, two important organizations – one Jewish and the other Muslim – announced an unusual alliance on Monday.The American Jewish Committee and the Islamic Society of North America have teamed up to form a new national group of leading Jewish and Muslim Americans: The Muslim-Jewish Advisory Council.
In a press release, the AJC said that the new group “brings together recognized business, political and religious leaders in the Jewish and Muslim American communities to jointly advocate on issues of common concern.”

The co-chairs of the 31-member council are Stanley Bergman, CEO of the Henry Schein healthcare company, and Farooq Kathwari, president and CEO of the Ethan Allen furniture company.
Among its initial “action items,” the press release said, will be to “develop a coordinated strategy to address anti-Muslim bigotry and anti-Semitism in the U.S.” and to “protect and expand the rights of religious minorities” in the country.
“Our two communities share so much in common and should find ways, where possible, to work together for the benefit of the entire country,” said Bergman.
The council members include religious and lay leaders from both communities. Among the most prominent names on the membership list is Joseph Lieberman, the former senator who was the Democratic vice presidential candidate in 2000.
See? Trump is already healing divisions and uniting the country.
The worst antisemits are liberal Jews...
So no surprise here.
They will make an alliance with Hitler if they were around at a time.
Actually people they created this alias with are in the same ballpark as Nazy anyways.You would have made a great one....
No...
Hitler was liberal national-socialist.
He just never treat anybody but Arians as people.
I am conservative, so no chance.You talk about races the same way he did, advocated the same kind of solutions, and when you get called on it, you turn into fing Jerry Garcia.
Can you point me to the specific post or thread I proposed this "solutions"?
I doubt you will find any.
You do not like the truth my friend but it's OK.
It's pretty common thing.How about talking about getting muslims to kill each other off? You aren't my friend, you're an intolerant POS. And every time you respond to one of my post the way you did Im going to remind you of that fact.
Muslims are doing this without any involvement including my.
Since I had this statement which you obviously took out of context (don't worry this is common technic) they are killing each other in epic rates.
Not sure why they so concerned about religious differences so much that it worth killing people in masses.
I guess it is similar to what Europeans did during Inquisition and religions wars in middle ages.
I think one day they will grow up as civilization and stop this atrocities along with other things like stoning, honor killing, treatment women like sh..t, etc. It will take time zo and probably longer that my and your lifetime.You have described other races, colors, in a less than flattering light repeatedly. You use charged language to describe them. Nothing to take out of context.
None of us are pitch perfect when it comes to race and religion, myself included. Most of us make an effort not to offend, or to at least disagree without being disagreeable. I post about Jews and Muslims peacefully coming together and you start calling them liberal Nazis. Every time you do shit like that Im going to call you on it. Thats all Im going to say.
Some quotas please... or better reference to thread or post.
So far you just making things up and putting them in my mouth.
As I said its a common technique.
Don't be lazy man. Do some work to prove your accusations.Lazy is thinking that Hitler was a liberal. He had the support of Germany's largest corporations. How many fing liberals would have been able to do that? Hitler was a fascist as in the merger of state and corporate power. You know nothing of your history.
Proof. You just called someone a liberal Nazi moron. Plenty of examples like that, look for yourself.
LOL
Typical liberal.
A lot of talk but 0 work.Says the immigrant who comes to this country and blames liberals who made sure you were able to get into this country, and social programs were in place in case you needed help. You think conservatives want more immigrants?
Not going to read through your posts again, thats time I will never get back. You thought that Hitler was a liberal. You have to be the stupidest mfer on the planet. I only responded to you in the first place because you made a point of calling people who wanted peace "Nazis". You are one sick puppy.
Yes Reagan brought in immigrant farmers legally

Click here to view the TweetFound this online, if you are not familiar with how Assange ended up in the situation he is in.
Sweden was in a plot with the US to get Assange to Sweden to give a statement on made up allegations, once it Sweden it is much easier to extradite him to the US for face espionage charges.
That is why he is in the embassy to start with, he was tipped off about what was going to go down.
Because of the tip off, he sought asylum with Ecuador. He offered to give a statement to the Swedish police from the embassy, as there is no case against him, this would mean the case was closed but of course, this rejected by Sweden.
Because of the arrest warrant Sweden put out, if Assange left the embassy he would be arrested and shipped from the UK to Sweden so he was imprisoned in the embassy. The UN rightly declared this unlawful imprisonment.
Now Obama has is going and Clinton lost, Sweden are trying to bring their made up case to a close, which means the arrest warrant is cancelled and Assange can leave his imprisonment in the embassy.Note - Sweden's immigration policy (very open) is causing extreme problems in the country, bringing it down.
Bringing what down?
Sweden. It is in a tough spot from having such and open door policy. Here in Germany it is somewhat difficult but the country is pretty wealthy, it can withstand it so far.
Exactly what damage was caused to Sweden?
From people here in Germany with family/friends there, I hear there is an economic weight, which is nothing shocking but a growing problem is a lack of the Muslim cultures blending with Swedish culture (again, not a big shock).
This article is kind of light but gets into the economic points. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/43...I have friends in Italy and the immigration going on there, is really a much bigger problem and in more ways (e.g. violence). There is now talk of Italy leaving the EU. First Britain and my guess more will follow.
You know, you can just Google this all, it is a pretty talked about thing. I mostly say that as you don't agree with anything I say.
You're an immigrant, so can you stop your passive aggressive agenda of demonizing Muslim refugees who are fleeing a horrific war that we helped create. Thanks.
The truth is a lot of European countries have aging populations and their future will depend on a large influx of immigrants to make up the shortfall. The irony is that all these anti-immigrant inbreds who complain about immigrants ruining their country and stealing their jobs and benefits will be reliant on them in their old age.
Huh? I'm an American living in Europe temporarily. By definition, I'm not an immigrant. Regardless, no reason to take that tone and name call. Passive agenda? Hey, want to guess what my ancestry is?
You do realize that not all countries in the EU are receiving immigrants right? When Sweden, Italy and Germany get the brunt of them, it is going to create problems.
But you hit the nail on the head, these same policies of bombing that Hillary voted across the board for, created this tragedy.
I also understand Germany needs people, but having an open door policy from a country your ally is bombing, that does have terrorists, is a recipe for disaster.
Please, don't make this about me via your guilt by association.So "immigrant" now qualifies as name calling? Guess we have very different standards for the spoken language as well.
Name calling means calling someone a name. Generally that name is derogatory or used derogatorily. Considering the context here and since you mostly know nothing about me except I'm an American living in Germany, you come up with - I am an immigrant? I don't know where you were going with that except that it is false. So, jump to the next attack and skip over my points.
Nice trying to blame the victim, typical.
My grandfather was from Syria. If we are helping to bomb Syria (or if Hillary was supplying weapons to ISIS to attack Assad), then we have a problem having an open door policy with Syria.
I have nothing against Syrians, I don't hate myself, just a problem with those creating this situation.Reading comprehension is the ability to actually understand what you read and parse out the content from the noise that overwhelms your active and biased imagination.
I didn't call you an immigrant someone else did.
What I asked you is exactly what is derogatory about being an immigrant?
I am a naturalized citizen for last 6 years and a legal immigrant. I am neither black nor white nor Muslim or any other religion. I don't think being called an immigrant is victimizing someone. Nor would I play the victim of someone called me one.
Like I said we have very different expectations from this language.
Are you going to hold it against me that I thought it was the same conversation? Man, I had just woken up, same thread, lol.
But thanks for the reading comprehension sarcasm. You had a choice to be a human being about it, but responded like that.Regarding your question, I imagine it is the intent of the person, not so much the word. It doesn't offend me per se, I just didn't understand it as I said I'm American.
No I won't hold it against you, it was an honest mistake, I get it. We all make those from time to time. Sarcasm just happens to be my posting style, can't change that.
Again not sure how you judge intent, but you have said negative things about immigrants and you have consistently called it a problem. That's all I know about you. That and the fact that you seem to honestly belive HRC would declare war on Russia without any evidence of any kind.
I don't think I've had a strong stance against immigrants here. I'm not really even for building a wall separating us with Mexico, but at least fixing the fence.
What are you alluding too with my stance on immigrants? I do think that we need to vet/background check (as best we can) immigrants coming in from States where there are terrorists and America is involved with bombing, droning, etc. I'm pretty sure this happens anyway. Is there something wrong with this?
Hillary pushed Obama into Libya - 30,000 dead. She voted for Iraq and was for Afghanistan. She seems to have an aggressive stance in general. She has a very aggressive stance on Russia with the Wikileaks emails, and had no evidence. She might not start a war right away, but her cold war was already under way. Me and others, quite a few, really were worried about war with Russia eventually. Quite a few people here in Germany said the same thing, a bit of an undercurrent.
This thread gets pretty emotional (it seems) at times. And I do try to be careful usually, sometimes it is tongue and cheek with joking, I get that. But with protests happening, be it George Soros supported/funded or not, I do not want to help divide the country further. Me or anyone "for" Trump and what not, are not an enemy. We have to learn to get along better. Even though he may have policies and such that we don't like (and I've stated what I don't like), it seems things are starting to get out of control. I'll take responsibility in general, but where this may go is really ugly.
