I agree the numbers do not make sense, here is the source.

Are you sure they aren't Canadian? I definitely saw some in their province of Alaska.

Trump is the first president -- ever, probably -- to engage in a relentless campaign to discredit his predecessors. Even Bush Sr and Clinton got along, both while Clinton was president and afterwards. There has been no call for anybody to be outraged until now.

Nope, they're from Louisiana. Of course, the clocks aren't Alaskan, either.

Perhaps check Canada's exports as well. Could be that exports from the US are channelled through Canada due to some regulation or customs fee advantage by that route.

Ad hominem attack, from a mod no less Aren't you supposed to feign some impartiality instead of going all-out SJW?

No wonder more than half the export volume is shipped in barrels.

They are off by 1000, somebody used a comma in place of a decimal point.

Total yearly exportation is only $311M.

"Kentucky exported $311 million of whiskies to other countries in 2015" (from the same source).

According to the link you posted earlier the Obama administration was having to deal with huge numbers of unaccompanied children entering the US "In the fall of 2013, tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors traveled to the U.S. southern border, in flight from poverty and gang violence in Central America."

Whereas the Trump administration is ripping children from their families.

Do you see the difference?

Incidentally it seems we were wrong about Trump inheriting this family separation law.
According to the Snopes site you conveniently directed me to

The family separation policy was a Trump administration invention consequently the outrage!

BTW if you claim Trump inherited US laws directly from his predecessor Obama then Obama must also be responsible for the US Constitution

No.

I love it when people object to others supporting basic social justice, as if it's somehow offensive to protect those weaker or less able to speak out than ourselves (not that I'm suggesting that StirB or any other poster here necessarily falls into either category!).

It says a lot about you, Velociraptor. Take that as ad hominem if you will, although there's no other way to address you and your actions. Certainly, banal generalities wouldn't cut it.

Ps: thanks for murdering conservatism from the inside, by the way. One day you and your mates will look back and realise you've been played like spoons.

You do not understand the definition of "Ad hominem" do you?

Only when banning.

Which I feel isn't too far away

Thanks! I know this new haircut makes me look younger, but I haven't been called a kid since I took a GM role in 1999 with dozens of employees quite a bit older than me.

Clearly you haven't read all of my ban reasons. I'm quite proud of some of them.

Now THAT would be unprofessional.

I have actually - some, not too many - and yes, I hesitated for a second before pressing "submit reply"

You're all useful idiots. I came here to ask for advice on something unrelated, got some pointers so thanks to those who helped. Leaving this forum on my own, thanks.

At least we're useful.
