Seriously, if I lived and was stuck there, I would just wish they would have just dropped a nuke on on all of us and just gotten all the suffering all over with in a few seconds.
This place looks far worse than Hiroshima.

lol...I watched it on cbs evening news--did you?
you should have seen the expression on the interviewers face when they told him they really don't care that much about Russia.
I've heard from 4 different people that $50 was offered to anyone talking trash about trump, apparently there were no takers.

Trump barely won Vigo county. The people at the fair probably just wanted to enjoy their time out and not be bothered with politics.

Here the Bananaland-news are only about Bananaland. Without internet -or satellite TV I wouldn't even know Trump is president.
Today in the news:
-Someone was found dead in the bushes.
-Someone was caught stealing something.
-A guy who lost his dog found it again.
-Another guy said, the dog that was found again is his dog.
-A woman said the other guy is lying.
You got the picture...

I am trying to figure out how anyone would think I was talking about terre haute local news...???
vigo county:
trump 55%
Clinton 40%
I would say that was a convincing win for trump, even moreso when you consider that terre haute is home to 4 colleges including Indiana state.

Grampa, we don't all sit around watching 60 minutes or whatever you saw the groundbreaking story about the Terre Haute fair on. You posted the half-assed story; you can post a link. Why are we supposed to waste time searching for the video?
And yes, that's my point that there's no way they couldn't find a single person that didn't vote for Trump. 4 out of 10 people are still pretty good odds and you're claiming not a single person wanted to say anything bad about Trump.
Aleksandar37

55% compared to 40% is barely over a half. I understand you're using Indiana math, but that still is barely half. How am I wrong?

sorry, I didn't want to make it seem like a 15% margin was a big deal.
Aleksandar37
Well-known member
I'm not arguing that he didn't win or that 15% isn't a significant difference. I'm just saying that 4 out of 10 people in that county voted one way and a news crew claimed to not be able to find a single one of them. I don't think the people who voted for Hillary now have only great things to say about Trump.
thebigt

lol...that is because the majority of people who voted for Clinton are students at Indiana state. they rarely go far from campus except to drink, or score drugs, very few would be at the county fair.

On Friday the House overwhelmingly approved a massive increase in military spending, passing a $696 billion National Defense Authorization bill for 2018. President Trump’s request already included a huge fifty or so billion dollar spending increase, but the Republican-led House found even that to be far too small. They added another $30 billion to the bill for good measure. Even President Trump, in his official statement, expressed some concern over spending in the House-passed bill.
According to the already weak limitations on military spending increases in the 2011 “sequestration” law, the base military budget for 2018 would be $72 billion more than allowed.
Don’t worry, they’ll find a way to get around that!
The big explosion in military spending comes as the US is planning to dramatically increase its military actions overseas. The president is expected to send thousands more troops back to Afghanistan, the longest war in US history. After nearly 16 years, the Taliban controls more territory than at anytime since the initial US invasion and ISIS is seeping into the cracks created by constant US military action in the country.
The Pentagon and Defense Secretary James Mattis are already telling us that even when ISIS is finally defeated in Iraq, the US military doesn’t dare end its occupation of the country again. Look for a very expensive array of permanent US military bases throughout the country. So much for our 2003 invasion creating a stable democracy, as the neocons promised.
In Syria, the United States has currently established at least eight military bases even though it has no permission to do so from the Syrian government nor does it have a UN resolution authorizing the US military presence there. Pentagon officials have made it clear they will continue to occupy Syrian territory even after ISIS is defeated, to “stabilize” the region.
And let’s not forget that Washington is planning to send the US military back to Libya, another US intervention we were promised would be stabilizing but that turned out to be a disaster.
Also, the drone wars continue in Somalia and elsewhere, as does the US participation in Saudi Arabia’s horrific two year war on impoverished Yemen.
President Trump often makes encouraging statements suggesting that he shares some of our non-interventionist views. For example while Congress was shoveling billions into an already bloated military budget last week, President Trump said that he did not want to spent trillions more dollars in the Middle East where we get “nothing” for our efforts. He’d rather fix roads here in the US, he said. The only reason we are there, he said, was to “get rid of terrorists,” after which we can focus on our problems at home.
Unfortunately President Trump seems to be incapable of understanding that it is US intervention and occupation of foreign countries that creates instability and feeds terrorism. Continuing to do the same thing for more than 17 years – more US bombs to “stabilize” the Middle East – and expecting different results is hardly a sensible foreign policy. It is insanity. Until he realizes that our military empire is the source of rather than the solution to our problems, we will continue to wildly spend on our military empire until the dollar collapses and we are brought to our knees. Then what?

So you think Trump's travel ban is so dumb, racist, etc but approving qualified workers is also bad? Haha I have zero issues with anyone wanting to come here legally for any reason and even more so for work

I think hypocrisy is dumb, etc. Trump ran on an American First slogan and continues to do anything except that. Feel free to show me where he has actually set any plans in motion to improve this country (not tweets, actual plans). Also, this approval is for temporary workers so that places like resorts can be staffed. That's right, all those resorts that are meant for the blue collar workers that Trump supposedly cares about, right? Not just his rich friends, right? So while his travel bans keep families apart and people with jobs like physicians and scientists who can't get to their jobs or conferences (we'll be seeing those and the jobs they provide going to countries that allow others in), he's letting in people to cut the grass for the summer. So no, I do not think approving qualified workers is bad, just his (and apparently your) hypocrisy.

As soon as Republicrats can get a bill that will increase their stocks and satisfy their lobby/financeers bank account and also continues to exempt themselves from these otrocious policies a bill will get done. They will name it: Obamacareonsuperdrol.

it actually explains a lot...the last senate hearing I watched he looked confused.
I saw his daughter back on outnumbered today after a leave of absence and she said he was doing better and eating his favorite food-enchiladas.
