Teatroll Rosetta Stone:

“High risk countries” = where the brown peoples is at.

Small is as small does…

I was gonna say. “refugees from “high-risk” countries”? Jeebus, where else do you think refugees come from?

I am starting to hate this site.

Josh isn’t anyone saying anything useful?

I can take only so much of the lowest scums on earth.

This will do nothing to stem the flow of Norwegians.

Before this election cycle is over, GOPers will finally just start saying stuff like that, there isn’t much room left to obscure the real message anymore.

the real issue is whether voters will remember that x said the following.

My guess is all the awesome happens over at Prime though I’m not a subscriber and can only speculate.

The ones from Canada are perfectly welcome.

The overweening hate, the lack of compassion, the abject fear, and the repellent racism in everything Rand Paul says and does is astonishing.

So while searching for the definition of high risk countries, I found this statement rather interesting

Civil unrest perils added to Belgium and Germany over far right activity

Though this point is an admitted ‘cherry pick’, someone needs to ask Senator Paul about it.

This idiot is “protecting” us from Syrian orphans and families but refuses to protect us from all the gun violence in the country.

Equate it with their damn nonsense about “build the wall first” - protect us from ourselves first and worry about Syrian baby terrorists later!

did prime for a week and found not mush difference… even with fewer ads it was not much different… if TMP wants long term prime they had better get writers that will provide a reason to join. Don’t have them as yet…
