I'm err not really sure where to go with that. | | | | | Just accept you won the point and move on.

Meanwhile today | Quote: | | | | Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump
Today marks the one-year anniversary of the opening of the United States Embassy in Jerusalem, Israel.
Our beautiful embassy stands as a proud reminder of our strong relationship with Israel and of the importance of keeping a promise and standing for the truth. | | | | | "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". This one looks like an auto repair shop in a run down mall!
Maybe after Trump builds his wall he will build a proper Embassy building in Jerusalem?  |

“I love that,” Trump said, according to Woodward’s account. “That’s what I am, a popularist.”
Woodward completes the scene:
“‘No, no,’ Bannon said. ‘It’s populist.’
“‘Yeah, yeah,’ Trump insisted. ‘A popularist.’”

Just Wiki "failed state". Maybe have a quick look at "alter ego" while you're at it...  |

Ueli Maurer visited the White House today. Maybe, with his name, Daft Donald thought he was going to build the wall for him.

Well, if the USA isn't a failed state yet, Alabama certainly is.

LOL. This thread is funny. How do you know if you have TDS?
Well, calling the U.S a failed state despite the lowest unemployment rate in five decades and.....and...wait for it.......wages are on the rise for the first time in ten years. Yup, failed state for sure. The recent gains are going to those who need it most. Over the past year, low-wage workers have experienced the fastest pay increases, a shift from earlier in the recovery, when wage growth was concentrated at the top. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/02/b...h-economy.html 
Of course, there are some pockets of this so-called failed state. Mostly in "progressive" neo liberal cities like Seattle, Portland, SF and L.A just to name a few. |
