Aisha Tyler's Take Down of Ivana Trump

[erpowers]

A few days ago Ivana Trump claimed America had lost its prestige and needed to get it back by voting for her ex-husband, Donald Trump. She went on to use the example of a 19 year old woman coming to America and giving birth to a baby to claim that illegal immigrants come to America to get free housing and food stamps without working.

In the clip Aisha Tyler negates Ivana Trump's points. Among other things she point out that the idea that illegal immigrants come to America to get a free ride is a lie.

2. I'll tell you what else is a lie...

...is that this is the most prestigious, only country where you can come from somewhere else and make something of yourself... place.

While I totally agree with her main premise (obviously).. this whole idea that Canada, Belgium, France, Germany, Iceland, the Netherlands and the UK DON'T allow for those things is preposterous and degrading. I can't find what is so prestigious about endless wars, total corruption in all areas and an out of control capitalist/corporate plutocracy that is willing to destroy other people and country for their short-sighted narcissistic gains.

Hell, by this measure, the Nazi's were prestigious! It's too bad we are following their example, it would seem, to be a failed state.

6. Only Thing I Disagreed With

That was just about the only thing I disagreed with. I do think America is still the most prestigious nation in the world. Some of that may be due to America living off of its past success. I do think it has been pointed out that America now lags behind a number of other nations in categories in which one either created, or ruled. It is no longer true, if it ever was true, that America is the only country in which you can be born poor, or of a lower rank and then move up in the ranks. Now that happens in many countries. I think it has been said that currently, it is easier to move out of the rank one was born into in a number of other countries than it is in America. I think it has even been said that it is easier to move out of the rank one was born into in Great Britain than it is in the United States. At one time Great Britain was know for how hard it was to rise out of the rank into which one was born.

4. totally offtopic

but why the eff would they use suburbia as a backdrop? i'm pretty sure that's not a window and instead a monitor because The Talk Luvs The Environment

as death cab once quipped, "why'd anyone want to live there".

television is so moronic anymore.
