I guess refugees can always pretend to be Christians. You know... like Republicans.

I doubt Trump possesses the ability to understand the irony of the fact that his current wife/hostage is an immigrant?

Coincidence???

I thought there was a Trump International Golf Course in Damascus????  If there isn't, there should be.  Lovely place to swing the sticks!

No one has mentioned Obama ending wet foot dry foot... Isn't that turning refugees away? 

We're back the Pres getting blamed for everything after eight years of having him blamed for nothing.

@nolaegghead your casual dismissing the troubles in Germany is laughable and not the sentiment of the majority of Germans.

OT: I like the Buffalo's practice of not deleting threads but simply not having them move up to the top when replied to. That allows those interested to continue the discussion without cluttering up the place for everyone else.

The Daily Mail is nicknamed the Daily Fail, it's a tabloid rag beaten only by the Express in awfulness and is massively politically biased.

In one of the oldest empires, where it used to be the sun never set and etiquette never died, it always amazed me how sensational rags could be so popular.  Maybe it's like the preacher's daughter....

Or maybe after a country reaches it pinnacle, the next natural step is idiocracy.  That seems to be happening here.

For sure these threads get super intellectual after they drop off the front page.  At least that's been my experience.

@nolaegghead and I are in the middle of discussing Trotsky's internal conflicts vs. popular perception in a thread that's on page 47 if you're interested in joining in.

The only way is down when you're at the top. Then with your massive sense of entitlement, when you're not at the top anymore it must be someone else's fault.

These rags just pander to that Nationalistic sense of being better than Johnny Foreigner and makes the hard of thinking feel better about themselves.

I've always been disappointed that not a one of our major dailies in the US has ever had the equivalent of the "Page 3 girl". Rule Britannia!

Stopped a couple of years ago.  What better way to get teenage boys interested in reading the news?
