How can Israel have a capital if Israel is my city?

So it's like the Vatican?

No. Obviously, it's like England.

Or, in words of Mike Tomlin, ovisly.
how can anyone think trump is doing a good job when in one speech he has guaranteed that there will be no peace process in the middle east

May I ask why isn't your question are Republicans and Democrats doing anything about the skills gap?
because the democrats have zero power in government at the moment given the republicans have majorities and the president and the republicans refuse to legislate with them so they are virtually irrelevant at this point - that's why (i'd hazard to guess)

Because, in different states and at varying levels, including here in Maryland, Democrats are proposing tuition free community college, tuition free certificate programs at community colleges, and even tuition free four year university programs. Republicans won't even back tuition free certificate programs for trades. That's why I asked what Republicans are doing -- because Democrats are already trying. In fact, Obama proposed tuition free community college but it never got off the ground because of the Republican-led Congress.
In the presidential election Senator Sanders wanted free college. Secretary Clinton wanted free community college and affordable four year. Those are tangible, legitimate steps toward eliminating the skills gap and building a 21st century workforce.
During the election and in the time since, I haven't heard a single idea from Republican leadership at any level.
Israel considers it to be Jerusalem and has for a long time. When I was in Israel they considered Jerusalem and hoped the US would someday recognize Jerusalem as the capital.
problem is Jerusalem is also one of the most important cities in the muslim world too and Palestine considers it also its capital

That is the problem exactly.
It has been a problem for a long long long long long time.

How is that their responsibility ?
Exactly, that’s the problem and why we haven’t recognized Jerusalem as it’s capital until now.
Jewish people all over the world consider Jerusalem, Israel’s capital.

He gets it.
Anyway.. Not shitfaced this go around. This thread was a horrible idea and I am a horrible person and have a drinking problem. Carry on with your lives.

I certainly agree with you that the Democrats have been talking about free college. I am waiting to see a detailed plan that actually works. Have you seen one yet?
And Muslim's all over the world do not...
hence the stalemate for so long and hence why Trump has essentially ended any opportunity for peace in the middle east
because they are in government - is that not part of their job?

Perpetual problem in the middle east. Everybody wants everything for themselves.
