They can have impacts in their small communities however, they still have very little impact on the country as a whole. Now you could make a play that if everyone did it would make the country better, but that wasn't your original statement. Originally you created a conenction between every individual of a country and there ability apparently to make it good or bad through their OWN actions. We aren't calling communities "shitholes" we are calling whole countries "shitholes", so your friend above, what was his role in making Haiti a terrible place?

Ah, whatever.

Willow said it best tonight.

If they were remotely serious about making their lives better and haita’s they either go home or truly cut them off.   Never send back anything.   Force them to change their lives.  

My friend sends back a garage full of stuff every couple of months.   He admits he is not helping them but he feels guilty because he left.   He isn’t going back because he knows it’s a s-hole country full of low life’s and scammers.

Maybe then The country would be less of a s-hole.

Anyways, Trump's big campaign message was that America has become a giant shithole and people cheered him and elected him, so forgive me if I'm not parituclarly surprised at this.  Hell, the right-wing spin machine spent the entire Obama administration telling us how shitty things had become here.

Reporters yelling "Are you racist?!?!" at the POTUS aren't helping.

You ask him if he used the word he is accused of using.

If he says yes there is verification.

If he says no you follow up by asking what he said...if he remembers.

Then watch him dance.

He's not going to say he's a racist, even if he is.
