"Trump can dismiss El Salvador and Haiti as "shithole countries" only because they've been trashed by years of US military and economic aggression.

Lineker may not be a first line pick but he turns a memorable and apposite phrase doesn't he?

Phil Clarke, did Trump create problems in El Salvador and Haiti? I thought their problems started a year/century previously.

Trump was just having a dig at Barrack Obama as he is part Kenyan according to Boris Johnstone. Or maybe he was adding a little detail to Camerons " leaders of "fantastically corrupt" countries coming to Britain." Or perhaps Gordon Browns bigot fits better.

Nothing new here, street talk caught out.

On Saturday, the Daily Beast reported that it had also been in talks with Clifford about an interview on the eve of the 2016 vote.

It said it had spoken to another actor in pornographic films, Alana Evans. According to Evans, Daniels, at the time of her alleged encounter with Trump, said: “All I’m going to say is: I ended up with Donald in his hotel room. Picture him chasing me around his hotel room in his tighty-whities.”

Phil. Presumably they were consenting adults, so what's not to like?
Oh yes! the picture of big D in his tighty-whities.
You could have spared us that.

Not sure Melania consented to this ....

Trophy wives consent ( or is it acquiesce ? ) to anything don't they?

Quoting bits of tittle tattle from the Gruaniad,it's easy to see how you have been sucked in by the climate change scam,you pathetic intellectual pygmy.

Yeah, me and every last scientific association on the planet. You name-caller, you.

Phil weren't you quoting bits of tittle tattle from the book and not from the Gruaniad? So that's all right then. Mind you, you'll have to downsize your Gruaniad quotes from tomorrow.

If more countries had reliable power and water supplies, they could have decent toilets, drains and sewage treatment works. Climate Scientists have ensured that many countries still depend on sh¡tholes, and so sh¡tholes depend on Climate Science for self preservation.

"Seattle’s so-called sanctuary status stems from a 2003 ordinance, according to Murray’s office. Unless otherwise required by law or court order, the ordinance bars police officers from inquiring into a person’s immigration status without reasonable suspicion that the person has been previously deported and has committed a felony. Backers of such policies argue they make cities safer because immigrants are less afraid to cooperate with police."

The EU's adoption of similar attitudes helped BREXIT, and caused Merkel and others, problems. Progressives are not very good at linking cause and effect, unless it suits their purposes.

tomo, California's Leadership on Green Blob issues, is not as clean as some think:

"Since he was elected in 2010, California Gov. Jerry Brown has gained an international reputation as a climate leader. He has spoken at the Vatican, at U.N. climate talks, and promoted California’s policies in China. Journalists routinely praise Brown for reducing emissions by expanding clean energy.

But is Brown’s climate reputation deserved?

A new, two-year investigation by Environmental Progress concludes that no American politician has killed more clean energy than Gov. Jerry Brown — and in ways that often benefited his own family "

“I am writing to urge you to attend the upcoming United Nations Conference on Environment and Development [‘Earth Summit’] scheduled for early June in Brazil and to support the concept of establishing a reasonable, non-binding, stabilization level of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions.”

“The United States fully intends to be the world’s preeminent leader in protecting the global environment. Environmental protection makes growth sustainable…. [This] recognition … by leaders from around the world is the central accomplishment of this important [United Nations] Rio Conference.”

Sadly, I don't think the Republican Guard are not ready to be swayed by Iranian public opinion yet, they have too much private enterprise at stake.

A rare sighting of the Gwen double negative in all its glory!
