Are we becoming a banana republic?

Didn't Obama try this with Netanyahu? A lot of snobbish proselytizing to educate the ignorant? Netanyahu got elected anyway. You see how that works out?

The idea that Obama pulled a gun on Netanyahu is pretty ridiculous

Possibly. I think they could grow Bananas in Florida and South Texas if they had to. Probably cheaper to import them from Panama.

You didn't read everything I wrote did you they do indeed grow bananas in South Florida but not in a commercial manner because it's not reliable. South Texas is just too colder in the winter

And yet some people in South Texas have banana trees growing in their gardens.

We have been an oligarchy of the legal profession for as long as I can remember. Actually, I view it as a conflict of interest to allow lawyers to write and enact laws.

Yeah after I posted that I remembered my brother lived in Tomball and had a banana tree in his yard but that of course is very different from being able to grow it commercially even South Florida gets a freeze every 5 years or eight years that would kill off the orchard

IMO this self-righteous #ResistTrump effort to undermine and impeach a seated President simply because of a massive mental breakdown from the butt-hurt shock of losing...is slowly but surely leading America down the road to a possible second Civil War.

It seems that the current global financial system needs not only open boarders, but wars, too, be they Civil Wars or World Wars.

Wars are always good for banksters, you can finance all sides of a conflict, and after the war everybody need money to rebuild the country. You can write off a lot of stuff, if there is a war. Trump was not very eager to wage wars, that is the reason why he is so hated and why the MSM instigate hate against him.

They hope that Trump will attack Russia with nuclear weapons, to prove to the MSM that he is not a puppet of Putin.

yes indeed there is a section of the american people that are deplorables in every way that is the reason for such a rebounce from the election of a black man and the possibility of electing a woman.

They was so upset that they was willing to overlook both Trump short comings and the Russian interfered with our election.

Below is the great great grandfathers of these deplorables

Nice try but once President Johnson force through the civil rights and voting rights laws all those true blue Democrats became Republicans so I would suggest that you yourself should read a few books on fairly recent history.

This state knows the sugar industry well. The governor loves it.

There is blowback from people who make a living fishing or using waters for recreational purposes. I don't live in the south part of the state where this is a major problem, but I have friends that do.

Revisionism means to look at something a second time, speak re-check something.
Do you think that this is a bad thing to do?
