    Who's blocked from coming to the US under Trump's latest ban - CNNPolitics

    This is probably a politically motivated maneuver. & it makes me sad that our friends who come with visas will suffer because of the selfishness of this administration. If they are so acutely aware of the struggling economy, perhaps they will know what to do about it... Likely not, though.

    Who said this, "Deficits don't matter." Publicly ……... and was quoted. Anyone??? <<<<< Someone take a shot.

    Deficits and debt don't matter to the REPUBS when the spending is for military projects - even the ones the Pentagon has stated they don't want or need. Or when the debt is increased by giving HUGE TAX BREAKS to their rich, corporate cronies who shovel big money into their election campaigns. Then that's just fine by the REPUBLICANS.

    But give bigger tax breaks to the avg. American? Let the old retired people have their meager, promised Social Security checks, keep Medicare & Medicaid funded??? Oh HELL NO !! Muck-mouth MOSCOW MITCH McCONNELL is publicly pushing to CUT those things for those greedy avg. working Americans. Better to shovel those HUGE TAX BREAKS to their filthy rich corporate political donors. Make those avg. hard-working Americans get by with less.

    Let Americans invest their own retirement money?????? Well then ……………………… why does the REPUBLICAN PARTY keep rolling back and / or eliminating the financial safeguards put in place by the Obama administration ( after the Bush administration's "de-regulation" of the financial services industry ) to PROTECT U.S. working people from deceptive, cheating, unscrupulous money management companies????? Why does the REPUBLICAN PARTY cut funding for the budgets of the SEC and eliminate staff who would be policing the financial industry for US .............. the American workers who would be putting our retirement money in those investments??? Why does the REPUBLICAN PARTY keep undermining the "financial police" ????? Does the American public WANT another rip-off of their retirement and college savings like began in 2007??? YES …………… 2007. George-y porgy Bush's watch. REPUBLICAN DE-REGULATION - getting rid of federal protections in law over the financial services industry.

    With hundreds of billions of dollars out there ……….. and weaker, fewer or no laws ……….. & federal agencies with enough budget and staff to POLICE the financial system …………. WTF did we expect would happen??????? Did Americans blindly trust that no big money management companies would want to get their greedy fingers on our retirement and college money??? !!! No deception, lying or cheating????? This is what happens with REPUBLICAN DE-REGULATION.

    The REPUBLICAN PARTY'S legislative moves are easily visible ........... there for the public to see ……………… yet some folks either don't understand what's being forced on them, or they are financially suicidal people - don't want any agency to protect their retirement money - and STILL vote for the same REPUBLICANS that are removing the financial safeguards!!!!

    In 111 days the number of people who have got Coronavirus has gone from one to two hand a quarter million. The number of Americans who have died from Coronavirus has gone from one to over one hundred and twenty thousand. That's just in three and a half months. Coronavirus is real and very contagious. Everyone but Donald Trump and his cronies understands the reality.

    Its 156 days, first US case was 20th Jan

    Its taken 5 months to infect 0.7% of your population. Under 1.0 isnt even self sustaining, which is why number of deaths per day has dropped from 3000 to under 500, even though you started lifting some restrictions 2 months ago, at the end of April

    123,000 is 0.037% of your population

    I would really like to see you say this, in person, to the family that has lost somebody to COVID-19...

    You could even add the "they were gonna die in two years anyways" line for added emphasis.


    We will need a video, of course.

    This one I expect many of the countries in the world will do, so that their own skilled workers get to full employment first and if we are going to get stuck with +10% unemployment for a while, might as well try push some of them into skilled work

    That definetly won't just be a US/Trump thing

    Alternatively, I would like to see you say a similar thing to a family of a malaria fatality, and tell them, no Americans could afford the $2 for a malaria vaccine dose because McDonalds were selling cheeseburgers for $2 that month

    Also alternatively, there seems to be at least 160 children in Indonesia that have actually died from malnutrition and the Covid lockdowns the last couple of months, still listed as Covid deaths so old farts feel less guilty

    You trying to claim moral superiority?

    Here are some other numbers


    How COVID-19 is changing the world: A statistical perspective - UNICEF DATA

    In the past couple years, around the 10 million mark per year of children under 5 across the world that die of a range of preventable diseases. Thanks to Covid lockdowns, in 2020 that figure will probably double to 20 million

    Covid- 50% of fatalities were obese, 90% over 70 yrs old. So for the most part 1/2 million fat, old first worlders vs 20 million children

    No, there is nothing any of you can say that's going to make me care more about the former than the latter

    memory? You can't even remember to wipe the stain off your nose from kissing trump's ass.

    I have a friend from India who is on an H1B visa. He has a PHd in chemistry from CalTech. He is a professor. So trump thinks he can be replaced by some hillbilly from Arkansas.

    You're so empathetic. I'm sure that you're contributing to a charity to help them out.

    I was going by Trump's stupid speech on March 04, 2020. Concerning your percentages of the American population I really don't give a fuck.

    once again, you're deflecting. Do you think an uneducated hillbilly can teach chemistry?
