Trump doesn't induce any fear in me with his speeches...I am from South America...I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN LATIN AMERICA. The gangs in Central America are horrid...and is true many of the CA inhabitants are in danger....but is not USA the nation that must solve their problems. Their respective presidents should.

Hitchens comments on Jul 2, 2018:

Empire State?..Trump doesn't own that one too???

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 2, 2018:

Good joke but no.

Okay, I just HAD to share this with you lovely people.

DUCHESSA comments on Jul 2, 2018:

Even if I see a guy has checked my profile....I won't answer if he is too young and/or lives far away. Is different if I am approached for friendly conversation or to debate an issue

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 2, 2018:

@AzVixen52 Understood...but even if there is some commonality distance and age difference are stoppers.

Trajan61 comments on Jul 1, 2018:

The liberals just want to bring some more of their kin folks up here so they can out vote us conservatives.

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 1, 2018:

I don't think that is the reason. IMHO, these people do not know what they are protesting for...

1. Venezuela is empty. No she, simply, regurgitates whatever BS was fed to her.

bigpawbullets comments on Jul 1, 2018:

Exactly. The trick is, how do we tell which is which?

Which one is which? According to this lady ALL ARE DECENT PEOPLE. lol

DarrelScott comments on Jul 1, 2018:

Sort of like all the refugees going in Europe. Most of them are men of military age.

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 1, 2018:

Indeed...but the hate for Trump flattens the brains of most people.

¿Por qué muchos Latinos no saben que hay Latinos/as blancos/as? Why many Latinos do not know that there are white Latinos/as?

DUCHESSA replies on Jul 1, 2018:

@gigihein Adorable. You are like most of my students; they spoke broken Spanish because their parents didn't want them to learn said language to avoid discrimination. To conjugate the verbs is very difficult but not impossible. OK, gringuita?

I'm truly ashamed of what is taking place in this country right now.

PickledRick comments on Jun 29, 2018:

I never new how corrupt , mismanaged and misguided our government really is. It is sickening. I have lost hope in the USA as a bastion of equality, truth and justice.

DUCHESSA replies on Jun 30, 2018:

@kmdskit3 No, generalizing is never good...and Trump didn't do so. If you listen to his words clearly you will understand he ONLY addressed with "animals" the bad ones.

DUCHESSA replies on Jun 30, 2018:

@MsDemeanour It seems you are the one who needs clarification about immigration. See, dear, Trump didn't call "animals" to the asylum seekers but ONLY TO THOSE ALREADY HERE AND ARE CRIMINALS...LIKE THE MEMBERS OF THE M-S 13 AND THE TRINITARIES....ARE YOU AWARE THAT LAST WEEK EIGHT MEMBERS OF THIS GANG EXECUTED WITH MACHETES A 15 Y/O KID IN THE BRONX....and it was a case of mistaken identity. See, my friend, I know a lot more about the immigrants than you will ever. BTW, I could give you few more examples

I hope many of us are joining in on the "families stay together" rallies across the country ...

DUCHESSA comments on Jun 29, 2018:

I want the families to stay together...as long as this means that each entire family will be deported.

DUCHESSA replies on Jun 30, 2018:

@MsDemeanour I am not the one stating "similarities"...I only mentioned what few friends said. Now, about the immigrants -for instance-: Both have deported illegals (good) except that Obama deported many more than Trump. I don't like either one...100%

@cyndiann Well...that's not what some people feel. See...I hear the same complains....but from the other end.

So when you stare at a woman, for five seconds, and they say you are sexually harrasing them,then ...

DUCHESSA comments on Jun 29, 2018:

I guess there is one reason...and one reason only..when a woman gets all shook up "because a man looks at her: NO MANY GUYS LOOK AT HER. LOL Most women must learn to differentiate compliments from harassment

DUCHESSA replies on Jun 29, 2018:

@CarolinaGirl60 He may be thinking that you are too pretty and that you won't pay attention to him. If a man stares and, then, talks bad at you...you curse his entire family starting by his mother. Make sure you are surrounded by people though. :)
