Sara Hall goes political

Maybe the Halls should set a good example and prove to us that Haiti isn't a poophole, as lied about by Durbin, and relocate there for 2 years.

The Halls have nothing positive to say about about Trump's efforts to end abortion. Sarah and Ryan are Christian examples?

Maybe Trumps sh!thole comment may not mean much to white ppl in the US, but it IS a huge deal to immigrants of color who have all been insulted by his ignorance. I admire Hall for showing her displeasure in such a classy posting.

Trump is a lying bigot, and anyone who thinks different is entitled to their opinions, but who they are agreeing with, makes their beliefs abundantly clear to the rest of us.

Anyone?

Trump will be gone by 2019 after Mueller cracks him like an egg. Worst case he is a lame duck till 2020 after the blue takeover in the midterms.

P.s. you're pathetic . all you trump supporters need an authoritarian in your life like the little droopy eyed armless snowflakes that you are. Hoping and praying that some orange billionaire will rescue you from your poverty. Stfu Racists!!!!

Clearly you havent spent enough time on this board.

Political correctness is such an easy trap to fall into. Most of our culture, whatever side of the political isle, has been mired in political correctness for a generation. Many people who probably lean to the right (like the Halls), still have trouble pulling the scaled from their eyes. It's unfortunate. Everyone wants to be polite and sound reasonable, so the left has used that instinct in people to shut down dialogue with conservative ideas.

Let me explain;

Let's step back and look at the Trump comment like grownups. What was Trump trying to communicate? Perhaps you can paraphrase the IDEA of what Trump was saying as "why do we base our immigration policy on how economically broken your country of origin is, instead of on individual merit?"

This seems like a perfectly reasonable idea to voice. Can we have a conversation about immigration based on individual merit instead of humanitarian reasons? Is it America's job to let in everyone from the 3rd world, or can our immigration seek to find people that will benefit our society? Notice that race or skin color has nothing to do with this. A merit based system would just as easily allow a college graduate from Haiti in, but would block a Russian high school drop out from entering the US.

So if this is the IDEA that Trump was portraying in the closed door meeting, does it matter one iota whether he referred to third world countries as "s---holes"? Isn't this just the way some people (especially New Yorkers) talk? If you had an old car that broke down, would you ever refer to it as your "s---hole car." What if that car was made in Japan? Would using that term make you a racist?

But the point is, we don't really know the IDEA that Trump was trying to portray in that meeting, so why is anyone wasting time trying to judge the content of Trumps view's based on a meeting that none of us where in? Can we see how completely useless this sort of speech censorship is? Who cares what words you used, what idea where you portraying? The great deceptiveness of political correctness is that it purposefully ignores the IDEA the speaker is trying to portray, and fixates on the particular word or phrases the speaker used. Then it makes assumptions about what 'true motives' are inside the speakers head base on whatever external stigma has been recently attached to the particular word or phase. Political correctness purposefully misunderstands people so that it can call them racist, or sexist, etc. The ONLY reason to do this, is to avoid conversation with people you don't like. Political correctness IS the epitome of intolerance. In this most recent event, the left is using the weapon of political correctness to shut down any conversation about the merits of one immigration policy verses another.

Poor Sarah Hall hasn't paid enough attention to politics to realize how the left uses political correctness as a weapon to silence conservative ideas. She is playing right into their hands. Sad!

Free handouts haven't been changed. In fact, getting rid of the Obamacare mandate means that free handouts from hospitals just increased! Everyone wants liberty but not the responsibility of paying for the consequences.

On the tax side, all that changed was a massive permanent tax reduction for C Corporations and a temporary tax reduction for most Americans. It's a sugar high for the economy using tax policy. Corporate tax receipts will be unusually high in 2018 because of the massive repatriation of overseas profits. Personal tax receipts will be higher in 2018 due to pushing income into 2018 from 2017.

You're a flaming racist but point the finger at others. Post your email address and I'll bet you whatever you'd like. This is the part where you back down old man.

P.s. You are embarrassingly pathetic. All you Hillary supporters need a liar to lead the way because you little girlies can't think for yourselves. Who puts on your underwear in the morning, you or your boyfriend? You're a racist pig like Hillary who voted for the wall but you're such a moron that she knew she could fool you into voting for her. Poor baby triggered?

She's right. It was hate-filled, ignorant, and anti-American, and even many Republicans acknowledged this.

Look at all the non-European national groups in the United States with higher income than Norwegian Americans (#37 by household income):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_United_States_by_household_income

He could, for instance, have mentioned 36 countries of origin for Americans with higher median household income than Norwegian Americans, including countries such as India, #1, Taiwan, #3, the Philippines, #4, and Iran, #16. Nigeria was #54, but not that far behind Norway, with $62k vs. $67k income. Haiti was at $47k, not far behind average household income, but well ahead of a political favorite, Cuban Americans, at #97 of 103 countries listed at $38k.

Nigerian Americans have the highest educational attainment of any group in the United States:

All lies.

Trump will not be gone by 2019 and I'll take that bet as well Flagpole. First it was less than a year, now it's 2019---what a joke you are!!! Next, he won't be re-elected but Mueller should have went after him. You guys are seriously demented.

All right - I'll bite. Go ahead and give me the facts.

Hey know-it-all, what's your healthcare deductible and what happened to it after the UnAffordable Health Care Act was put into place by Obama? I'm waiting. We'll see who the real liar is now.

Now that the DHS has taken over the election fraud investigation, we'll finally (in 1-2 yrs) have proof that Hillary didn't win the popular vote

I knew there were a lot of bad people on the LetsRun boards but I suppose I really tried not to accept how many there were and how very bad they were.

Sara Hall is a very genuine Christian and sincere in her actions. Given that, she could hardy NOT have made the very accurate statement she made.

You people really are terrible.

Did Trump say "s---hole people," or was it country? That might make a difference in understanding exactly what he meant. Its so hard to remember exactly what he said, after all I wasn't in the meeting. Oh, and neither were you.

But I'm sure the media will ask him what he meant and allow him the time to clarify his position.

Or, maybe this was just a tactic from Democrats to call Trump a racist so that they have an excuse to not work with him or other Republicans on immigration reform. After all, the Democrats call themselves "the opposition" these days. Maybe this is just more run of the mill political posturing and nonsense? No, it couldn't be that. That sounds too logical. What really must be happening is that Trump is the grand master of the clan, and millions of neo-naz- citizens elected him President. Yeah, that must be what's going on.

She only won California. Without those 4.3 million votes she won by in California, she would have lost by 1.4 million. One state does not make up the entire country. Democrats won't talk about that as facts are their enemy.

We had two options for awhile, a traditional HMO plan and a high-deductible plan with a HSA deposit on the split. I bet on myself with the high deductible plan and won 3 out of 4 years. Since then, probably 2012 or so, has just been the high-deductible plan with no HSA deposit. Very small company with one death, one knee replacement, and one back problem that led to three months off for employee. The insurance companies say they underwrite based on large population pools but they still rely on loss ratios for the sample.

To your question, premiums have gone up significantly every year. But guess what, they were going up like crazy before Obamacare. We want to live longer and better, but at the same time our country is obese and weak, and getting worse by the day. See above for knee replacement and back problems. The guy with back problems is 70 lbs. overweight.

I'm blessed with good health. Hopefully I'm setting a decent example for my family and community.

Obama should have never used language like "you can keep your doctor". Politicians always overpromise (lie).
