    I have no illusion about their knowledge about Europe/world.

    Can you move this to the Slovenia section?

    Well, it happened in 2013 so I didn't remember it exactly. I checked old articles and it wasn't a politician but a former CIA agent ... maybe even better.

    Slovenia must be worse than all the countries refugees are coming from?:

    Worst comparison ever. But what else do you expect from a dumb social justice warrior leftist like Jones.

    Povsod, kamor seže pogled,

    lepota zasanjana, kje najti še lepši je svet,

    kje lepše je kot doma?

    Se s hribov v daljavo zazrem prek gričev, dolin, gora,

    v daljavi še modro morje uzrem,

    kje lepše je kot doma?

    Slovenija - od kod lepote tvoje?

    Pozdravljamo te iz srca in srečni tu smo doma,

    Slovenija - naj tebi pesem poje,

    ne išči sreče drugod kot le doma.

    Povej še oblaček ti bel,

    obhodil že ves si svet.

    Je lepša dežela še kje,

    kot naša kjer sem doma?

    Je vetrič veselo zavel,

    preletel je prek sveta.

    In takih lepot ni našel nikjer,

    kot tule, kjer sem doma.

    Slovenija - naj tebi pesem poje,

    ne išči sreče drugod kot le doma.





    Slovenia, whence thy beauty?

    As far as the eye can see,
    there is dreamy beauty,
    where is a more beautiful world to be found,
    is there a place more wondrous than home?

    From the mountains I gaze into the distance,
    over the hills, the valleys, the mountain peaks,
    in the distance, I see the blue sea.
    Is there a place more wondrous than home?

    CHORUS:
    Slovenia, whence thy beauty?
    We hail you from our hearts,
    and we are happy here where our home is.

    Slovenia, this is a song for you,
    do not seek happiness anywhere else but at home.

    Tell me, white puffy cloud,
    you have been around the world;
    is there a land more beautiful
    than the one where we live?

    The wind sang a happy song,
    it has blown across the world,
    but nowhere has it seen such splendour
    as here where my home is.

    I live about 15 mins away from Sarah Palin. She's from Wasilla, Alaska and we are in Palmer, Alaska right next to the Wasilla border.

    Trump isn't really wrong in regards calling these countries as shithole nations, but the scope is much more wider than those countries and regions, yes.

    ANDERSON COOPER, CNN: Van Jones, I mean should this come as a surprise to people?

    VAN JONES, CNN: Well, I mean it's not only racist, it's only just inaccurate. Numbers are sometimes better. 33% of Americans have college degrees. God bless everybody, it's a lot of hard work, now they have student debt. 43% of African immigrants have college degrees, okay? 11% of white people in America have a graduate people. One-quarter, 25% of Nigerian Americans have a graduate degree. So what is he talking about?

    Part of the thing is that when you're relying on just horrible stereotypes -- by the way, Melania Trump, our first lady who I admire greatly, is from Slovenia, not exactly the jewel of Europe. Slovenia. But she's welcome here and Nigerians are not. There's something wrong with the way this president is proceeding.

    I don't think anybody here on this panel can defend these kind of comments. If you want to have a conversation about immigration policy, you can have it without insulting whole continents and whole countries, especially when you have African immigrants coming to this country, making America better every day and being disrespected by this president.
