And yet, Obama got caught on the hot-mic telling Russia he'd "...[H]ave more flexibility..." to accommodate them after re-election:

Yeah, but that's because, at that time, lobbyists from the military-industrial complex hadn't spent a good year greasing palms in Congress (and, presumably, the Clinton campaign) to push military conflict with Russia.

Fact: The US sanctions against Russia made law on December 23, 2016, were mostly drafted no later than July 17, 2016. That's the last time that legislation was amended prior to passage. How can the punishment be levied before the crime is committed?

First, I want to congratulate you for backing your argument with actual evidence, instead of simply making naked assertions. Bravo! There may be hope for you yet.

Second, the question is whether she (or Trump) is "using the office." Were they acting as individuals or as officials of the government in the interview and/or tweet? I'd argue not, but I guess there's room for debate there.

You know how nonsensical it is to say there's a Muslim ban? There's are millions of Muslims living freely in the US.

Here is the list of countries the US has bombed under the Obama administration:
- Afghanistan
- Pakistan
- Libya
- Yemen
- Somalia
- Iraq
- Syria
- Sudan (edit for accuracy: Israeli bombs, US intelligence assistance, extreme US intervention/destabilization in that area)

Here is the list of countries that Trump tried to place travel restrictions on:
- Libya
- Yemen
- Somalia
- Iraq
- Syria
- Sudan
- Iran

Wow, trying to limit travel from countries we've fucked up with bombs (or extreme sanctions) recently, so terrible, what a monster. Obama bombing the fuck out of these countries is completely fine of course (give that fucker another peace prize) but Trump preventing them from coming to the US for 90 days until better screening is implemented? Completely racist anti-Muslim hate, obviously.

PS. Here are some countries with 80%+ Muslim population that aren't included in Trump's travel restrictions:
Indonesia (87.2%)
Pakistan (96.4%)
Bangladesh (90%)
Turkey (98.6%)
Egypt (90%)
Algeria (98.2%)
Morocco (99.9%)
Saudi Arabia (99.9%)
Afganistan (99.8%)
Uzbekistan (96.5%)
Niger (98.3%)

Also 172 million Muslims in India, 75 million Nigeria, 28 million Ethiopia, 23 million china, 17 million Malaysia, 16 million Russia - all free to come to the US.

But yeah lets call it a fucking Muslim ban, because that's totally true and literally what he did.

Let's play a game where we edit Austin's posts into factual statements.

It's like arguing with the human culmination of Huffington Post opinion articles.
