ooooooh Trump is not racist at all 

 

 

 

 

Trump told four nonwhite Democratic congresswomen that they should "go back" to the "crime infested places" where they came from, even though three of the four were born in the US and the fourth is a naturalized citizen.

I don’t know if y’all heard, but over 1 million Americans are planning to “invade” Area 51 on September 20, 2019 by Naruto running :facepalm:. Yes, this is real. Yes, we are the world’s dumbest culture. Yes, people have drawn mock battle plans. Yes, I clicked attend on Facebook :yes

They better because I already booked my flight :lol:. (Please no one actually show up. The US military will probably kill you if you try to run in)

Look, I can’t really talk about this without going into a rant, so I’ll just that I do NOT think Illhan Omar should “go back” to “her country”. She is as American as me, and I value all immigrants in the US, and all people in general. I thought we killed this shit in 1945, but apparently President 45 wants to bring it back.

Saying one values literally every single immigrant (or every single person for that matter, it makes no difference for my point) sounds almost as exaggerated as the things Trump says, just the other way around...

Well, yeah. He’s far-right, I’m far-left. We’re exact opposites. But I do mean that. When I vote for policies I think of the real social impact. I can spend my life accepting that nothing can be done, or I can improve the quality of life for everyone. I just don’t understand this mass hysteria about immigrants right now. No, middle eastern immigrants are not Al Qaeda or ISIS in disguise. No, Latino immigrants are not drug dealers. No, immigrants do not bring crime. Poverty breeds crime and we settle immigrants at the bottom because we want to pretend like they don’t exist. I doing so we only worse their poverty, which forces them to turn to crime. I mean I feel like we should value every human life, that’s literally the main focus (supposedly) of every major world religion. No one is less than me, and I am better than no one (Unless we are talking about trivia games, then I am better than everyone).

Maybe not in the US, but it's understandable to some degree here. Not saying 'good', but 'understandable to some degree'. For example, when town A barely has any significant problem, a center for refugees is put there, and within months people are intimidated, robberies rise and people feel like they'd better keep their kids inside, there is some sort of a problem. Especially when that happens in quite a lot of places like town A. The problem is, when you say that, there's always gonna be people who call you racist, which is utter bullshit.

Tramp is just an idiot. Just like majority of US presidents

Only good thing about Trump's presidency is Melania 

Ugh, Melania looks even more fake than Trump's hair.

    • Unheralded Suzan Lamens won Osaka 250 title as a qualifier. These Asian 250s are really the easiest way to make a run at a maiden WTA title for all these lower ranked players!
    • Dove into my results archive again...   I thought it might be fun to look at a single event from the same multi-sports games over time, so here's some comparative rankings from the Pan American Games (2007-2023).   Men's Shot Put (Winners) - Athletics 2019 Pan American Games: Darlan Romani  - 22.07m 2015 Pan American Games: O'Dayne Richards  - 21.69m 2023 Pan American Games: Darlan Romani  - 21.36m 2011 Pan American Games: Dylan Armstrong  - 21.30m 2007 Pan American Games: Dylan Armstrong  - 20.10m   Women's K1 500m (Winners) - Canoe Sprint 2023 Pan American Games: Michelle Russell  - 1:51.25 2019 Pan American Games: Beatriz Briones  - 1:52.552 2011 Pan American Games: Carrie Ann Johnson  - 1:54.243 2015 Pan American Games: Yusmari Mengana  - 2:00.656 2007 Pan American Games: Jill D'Alessio  - 2:01.977   Men's Sprint Qualification (1st Ranked Riders) - Track Cycling 2023 Pan American Games: Nicolas Paul  - 9.574 (75.203 km/h) 2019 Pan American Games: Nicolas Paul  - 9.808 (73.409 km/h) 2011 Pan American Games: Njisane Phillip  - 9.977 (72.165 km/h) 2015 Pan American Games: Hugo Barrette  - 9.978 (72.158 km/h) 2007 Pan American Games: Julio Cesar Herrera  - 10.772 (66.839 km/h)   Women's Jump (Winners) - Water Ski 2023 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 52.2 2011 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 50.60 2015 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 49.1 2007 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 43.70 Note: The 2019 Pan American Games were scored differently, thus not included on the ranking. Regina Jaquess  was the winner.     I didn't chose the above events for any particular reason, just thought I'd be interesting to look at the results. If there are any other events users would like to me to do this with, just tag me below.         
    • Canoe Polo World Championships are coming to the end. If i'm not mistaken this countries should get quotas:   Men   Women ()  Last spot should be decided between  and  in match for 7th place.   https://www.kayak-polo.info/app/#/chart Qualification system: https://www.canoeicf.com/sites/default/files/2025_cap_worldsgames-qs_061123.pdf
    • This 400IM field is a joke  (besides MSH…)  
    • Marc Marquez with a horror start (saved it nicely though)....turns out it was because right before the start, he took off a tear-off from his visor, threw it away and it ended up under his own bike  
    • That was Friday though, yesterday was better (although a seagull was destroyed by Miller) and today so far has not had any problem at all luckily  
    • And a Dutch record for Nyls Korstanje behind him     
    • WR for  Noe Ponti in the 50m butterfly! 21.67! 
    • Well, Honda and Yamaha are getting pantsed this season even more but at least we have more geese in Phillip Island    
    • Sven Goran Eriksson probably had 1 year to live after the diagnosis but it was a good life or so it looked like - he traveled, for example, he was in Rome at the Lazio stadium in the spring. If he felt really bad, he probably wouldn't have traveled. I hope it's similar for Hoy, although unfortunately cancer with metastases to the guests can cause severe pain
