that's where the money is...

Oh well, that is a deal breaker. I love this country with its ups and downs. Proud American, always have and always will be. I respect your right to say it but I don't have to like it. Cheers !!

I'm not saying the entire country is a shit hole. I'm making commentary on one of the more disturbing elements. And the hypocrisy of the Trump presidency.

No matter how bad you see it I would not wish to live anywhere else. I feel lucky to be an AMERICAN and will continue to work for the best interests of the country and the people.

I am sorry @Nottheonlyone but you kind of did. You don't have to explain to me, I am nobody remember? However, if I can contribute to change your heart even a little bit then I would be happy. Cheers

You can't fix things if you're not even willing to admit that they exist. Blind patriotism is just another form of blind faith, and perhaps just as destructive.

Very true Sir!!

The saddest part is that you have people actually arguing that it's a moral stance. You hear this attitude all the time ."get a job!" Said to homeless people. "Should have gone to college etc" said to those trying to struggle by on minimum wage. "Shouldn't have been born in a shithole country" said to those attempting to flee sick and war torn countries.

I remember when that little girl in detroit was shot in her living room by a swat team. People were arguing that it was her PARENTS fault for living in such an awful neighborhood. For some reason there's a faction of the human race determined to blame victims of circumstance instead of the assholes in power creating those circumstances.

@Blindbird victim blaming. Stockholm syndrome en massè

I remember seeing that, and it was quite controversial.

Me too girl, me too.

unfortunately, Michigan taxpayers are paying Governor Snyder's legal costs in this but there were charges brought to the water treatment plant sup (?) and to state employees that tried to cover it up. Totally criminal. Hard to imagine how these parents must feel.

@Blindbird yes I have seen that pop up over the last few years. THey also have been taking water without a permit in California for years.
