    Idealism isn't a dirty word, and anyone who says this amount or that amount is too much needs to show their work. So far, the structural and financial burdens have been met, and the economic integration has been going much faster than anyone predicted. The cultural integration will only be certain after a generation, of course, but with all the other factors in place, chances are better than they would be otherwise.

    Which leaves the reaction of the populace. It is true that the alt-right movement likes to point at immigration and uses immigrants as a spectre of all that is evil in the world. But I am not convinced that limiting exposure to foreign cultures is the answer. In the long run, successfully integrating 1.5 million people might very well be the best argument we can make for an integrative culture.

    I'm as big a trump disser as anyone, but "see" and "invisible" in this case I think means invisible to radar and other detection methods. He says lots of stupid things, that isn't one of them.

    Try this on for size: Vox; Trump in way over his head

    Or you could look at this shit he just said about the wildfires:

    Now, let's look at the average climate in Finland versus California, for starters. For seconds: https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/..._more_threaten_finland_from_the_east/10316400

    I wouldn't call this "a very small problem"

    oooh. that is dumb. Sorry, I didn't watch it far enough.

    Still don't think that's what he meant. at 1:35 he says "it's almost like an invisible fighter."

    It's hard to parse his language because he talks like an idiot thug, but you can't take his language literally: he's just too stupid. Even when he says it's "literally invisible" you have to understand he doesn't know the meaning of "literally." Or "invisible."

    It's like those stories you read of the Kims going around North Korea giving all the various industries and farmers advice on how to work better.

    talk about a "make work" program - can you imagine people raking up leaves & brush & debris over 78259 gazillion acres of forest? :lol:
    Hold on now.....I have an idea....it might be my morning coffee talking...it sounds crazy but it just might work! Drum roll please.........................
    RAKE YOUR WAY TO CITIZENSHIP! :salute: Let the asylum/refugee caravan cross, but everyone gets a rake. Much like an indentured servant, they rake X amount of acreage in our vast gub'mint owned forests and they get their free-and-clear citizenship rights! Job skills, fresh air, exercise....what's not to love? Everybody wins!

    I honestly do see her that way.

    She's not perfect by any stretch, but she does damned well by comparison.

    You jest, but employing benefit seekers to do something productive whilst benefiting the environment and paying income tax doesn't actually seem the worst idea to me.

    Your President, folks. Will smear the guy who took down the architect of 9/11 because he said some mean stuff about him in the media.

    Next on Trump, why that Jesus guy was an asshole and possibly a Mexican immigrant.

    Sure it's rude and disrespectful but at least Trump isn't doing something to really piss off @Paladin like kneeling before a football game.

    His Thanksgiving telecon with US troops abroad was... well, awkward:

    God bless the officer who responded with the Einstein gag. Trump really is a fucking idiot on the EM catapult issue - he's banged on about it for ages because he thinks it's part of the cost overruns of the new carriers, but that's down to mismanagement. And in his head steam and coal probably go together. He's used the Einstein line before as well:

    I'm sure Trump knows the difference. I suspect the call was being recorded and not on speaker.

    This and "invisible" planes rank up there with russia's fake news to distract the easily distracted. He's doing enough substantive bullshit schoolyard-bully mob-enforcer things. Don't sweat the small stuff.

    He is probably a bit confused. The elderly get that way when they get tired or their medication runs out. Hopefully the nursemaid will get to him soon and change his diaper and lay him down for some rest.

    okay, how absurd does it have to get? If the absolute level of absurdity has not yet been reached (and how can we measure it?) then there's no way to answer that question. Thus your question is serving the function of a statement IMO. But I'm reasonably sure I'm wrong in my assessment of your post, and more than reasonably sure that you will come along soon to show me the error of my ways.

    Trump's waffling on the Russian capture of three Ukrainian ships saying "we don't like what's going on either way".

    He's due to meet Putin later this week, btw. Russian media is pushing the angle that Ukraine set this up to make them look bad ahead of the meeting.

    Trump probably believes it was Ariel and those talking fish.
