https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-09-19/trump-says-homelessness-is-causing-environmental-damage/11530128
I am at a loss where to start. Does he mean gangs of homeless are creating havoc in national parks? Like marauding Bears? Or is their smell Making it hard for the sun to cut through to the ground? Which environment is he talking about? The pavements of the bigger cities? Is this Americas new "Environment? Maybe these homeless people should go home and take a shower? Please reassure me that Americans arent as stupid as this??

@Fernie yes, it happens...

Fernie · F

@Yulianna what do you mean?

Yulianna · 22-25, F

@Fernie 🙂 as you say, glaciers melt, ice floes break into see. Greenland is actually turning green! and all because of those homeless people sleeping in doorways.

Trump must be genius to spot connection...

Fernie · F

@Yulianna well...he gave someone named Stormy 30 thousand bucks and he thought that made him a weather expert (hurricane map he drew on)

Yulianna · 22-25, F

@Fernie 😄 he's nuts... he's so mad, he thinks nobody can see how mad he is!

Fernie · F

@Yulianna right!! and therein lies his madness

Yulianna · 22-25, F

Please remember that American audiences think mad means angry, and not insane.@Yulianna

Fernie · F

@AthrillatheHunt I knew exactly what she meant

AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M

Please forgive me Fern, it’s the teacher in me. 😀@Fernie

Fernie · F

@AthrillatheHunt 😄

Yulianna · 22-25, F

@AthrillatheHunt i think it is perfectly clear from context what i mean - and on here i write for world audience, not just American

AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M

Hard to tell if you’re being pompous and snitty or genuine@Yulianna

KiwiBird · 36-40, F

@Yulianna We in the antipodes understand you.

Fernie · F

@AthrillatheHunt 🤔....my money's on genuine

AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M

That’s what I was hoping.@Fernie

Yulianna · 22-25, F

@AthrillatheHunt you call me pompous! 🤣🤣🤣

[quote]Please remember that American audiences think mad means angry, and not insane.@Yulianna[/quote]

i notice you apologise to Fernie - you don't for a minute think you might have offended me with your "snitty" little correction?

my "american audience" understood my meaning perfectly, as far as i can tell. so, apparently, did my antipodean audience.

@Fernie glad you realised that 🤣

Yulianna · 22-25, F

@Fernie thank you 🙂

@KiwiBird thank you 🙂

AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M

I did say I wasn’t sure. @Yulianna

Fernie · F

@Yulianna In all fairness...he said he wasn't sure if you were being pompous...he didn't really accuse you of being pompous...which of course you are NOT

KiwiBird · 36-40, F

@Fernie Maybe he said it was [quote]"hard to tell"[/quote] but it came accross as an accusation.

Yulianna · 22-25, F

@Fernie oh i am sure i can be 😄

it's over now... storm in teacup

Yulianna · 22-25, F

@KiwiBird 💖 it's done... i am too chilled tonight to fight 🤗

Fernie · F

@KiwiBird I would not have been insulted if he'd said that to me...not at all...unless one misread it or is thin skinned...it is clear to me he meant no harm
