Donald Trump and US politics
" On any given day thousands of people are refused entry to the US at various border crossings and airports. The media will jump up and down about the stories that fit their narrative. But there are tons of other incidents found on social media and ignored by the MSM, i.e. straight white male Christian E.U. citizen refused entry to the US on the same day as Fadwa Alaoui. Meanwhile thousands of Muslims entered and exited the US without incident during the same period. Seriously, the biased/selective narrative-driven media reporting shouldn't work this well but it's evident that too many people lack critical thinking skills, analytical skills, logic, and the capacity for independent reasoning/investigation. The media wants to report every single story about a Muslim being turned away at US borders, while ignoring any story about a Muslim given entry. Yet, how many distinct incidents do we see? Not many? What does that tell you? If US society was more responsible/alert, the media would need to explain why Trump wanting a 90 day travel restriction on countries we've turned into war zones is worse than Obama actually turning those countries into war zones. Obama foreign policy turned 6/7 of that list into destabilized shit piles. We don't even have a US embassy in some of those countries - they had to be evacuated. Literally 20,000+ bombs. If I go to the Canadian government travel advisory page, guess what I see:
Spoiler
YEMEN - AVOID ALL TRAVEL
Global Affairs Canada advises against all travel to Yemen, as the security situation has deteriorated significantly and foreigners are at extreme risk. Commercial means to exit the country are currently unavailable. If you are currently in Yemen, seek safe shelter and remain there unless you can identify safe means of exit. The Government of Canada’s ability to provide any consular assistance in Yemen is extremely limited. Libya - AVOID ALL TRAVEL Global Affairs Canada advises against all travel to Libya due to persistent insecurity throughout the country, including sustained armed conflict, a high risk of terrorist attacks, an unpredictable political situation and a high crime rate. If you are presently in Libya, you should leave now by the safest means possible. SOMALIA - AVOID ALL TRAVEL Global Affairs Canada advises against all travel to Somalia. If you are currently in Somalia despite this advisory, you should leave immediately. The security situation in Somalia is extremely volatile and the threat of domestic terrorism is high, particularly in south-central Somalia and in the capital, Mogadishu. Iraq - AVOID ALL TRAVEL Global Affairs Canada advises against all travel to Iraq, excluding the areas controlled by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). The security situation throughout Iraq is very volatile, dangerous and unpredictable, and could deteriorate further with very little warning. If you are in Iraq, consider departing by commercial means if it is safe to do so. Syria - AVOID ALL TRAVEL Global Affairs Canada advises against all travel to Syria due to ongoing conflict. Commercial means to leave Syria are extremely limited, and you should leave as soon as it is safe to do so. Since November 2011, we have urged Canadians to leave Syria. Many airlines, including Arab League carriers, have suspended their flights from Syria. SOUTH SUDAN - AVOID ALL TRAVEL Global Affairs Canada advises against all travel to the Republic of South Sudan, including the border areas and the city of Juba, as the security situation has deteriorated significantly. See Security for more information. Iran - Exercise a high degree of caution There is no nationwide advisory in effect for Iran. However, you should exercise a high degree of caution due to crime, demonstrations and the regional threat of terrorism Sistan-Baluchistan and the border with Afghanistan (within 20km) - Avoid all travel Border with Iraq (within 10km) - Avoid all travel https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/advisories The list of Canadian avoid all travel destinations is not large. Trump's executive order enhanced screening list is missing North Korea, Burundi, Central African Republic, Chad, Niger, Mali, and Afghanistan. Aside from Afghanistan, the US hasn't recently bombed the shit out of or massively destabilized those other countries (or maybe they have, I'm not actually sure because the media doesn't talk about places bombed or destabilized by Obama and I'm not in the mood to Google each of those). But yeah, keep calling it a Muslim ban. PS. David Pakman is not credible. Look at the headlines: "is trump's inability to read actually a learning disability?". This guy is a joke. It's a talk show (actually more like an alternative reality show) with some of the worst (nonexistent) journalistic standards I've ever seen. Watching it for entertainment is one thing but calling his emotional outbursts fact is nonsense. Never underestimate what the mod community can do for PoE if you sell an offline client.

Trump is toast IMO. He's letting the deep state run all over him a color revolution if you will. which the CIA, FBI, NSA and others concocting this idea that a parley with Russia is treason. No on is asking why shouldnt two thermonuclear powers be friends and mend ties. It's dangerous as fuck not to. We have way worse allies like Saudi Arabia for financial reasons. Instead Russia are the permanent foe and any friendly discussion with them amount to treason. Pence is a neo-con through and through so we'll probably get him when Trump is forced to resign. Hope WW3 is avoided. But democracy is a sham. President doesnt run jack shit. The deep state does.
Even congress people admit to it http://www.salon.com/2016/01/05/controlled_by_shadow_government_mike_lofgren_reveals_how_top_u_s_officials_are_at_the_mercy_of_the_deep_state/ Anyway nice try lefties. You're riots didnt do it, MSM didnt do it. The Deep State did. You'll get a fundi christian instead for 8 years. Git R Dun! Last edited by Aim_Deep#3474 on Feb 14, 2017, 10:17:55 PM

"Probably. But I'm hoping his narcissism will be an X-factor; what we need is for Trump to have cojones the size of Mexico and 7D intergalactic chess skills. At least the electorate picked a decent "maybe" this time. If he fails, let us pick another, assuming we get another chance. Edit: Really, Trump's 7D skills are in question now. Pressure on Russia issue + phonetap on Team Trump communication with Russia was a fairly transparent strategy TBH (thanks to Snowden revealing PRISM), and Flynn fell for it. I wonder if Trump anticipated this and Flynn didn't listen, or what exactly the breakdown was. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

if Trump had balls he'd say "Damn right we talked to Russians. We're hitting ground running - you want peace of thermonuclear war these neo-cons want?"

A government that lies, is acting against the law/constitution, selects people on the basis of culture or religion, discredits journalists, jurists and scientists (just like a certain group of people on some forums - the so well informed, hip, new and critical "alt-right") and wants to go back to a glorified past of the nation(must have been before the enlightenment).
Well, anyone can choose a single word to describe that. I hope there are some strong people in the courts, the censored EPA, the intelligence services and so on... Last edited by Schmodderhengst#7293 on Feb 15, 2017, 4:20:46 AM

" You are probably describing every US gov in recent history. Anyway, the neocons got Trump by the balls, it seems: Trump expects Russia to return Crimea to Ukraine: White House Ludicrous expectation that will never happen, not without WW3 anyway. What will happen is the Kiev regime getting bolder and resume attacks on its own citizens in the east. Obama and his cronies put to power a destructive force in Ukraine, for the purpose of harassing Russia and it looks like that Trump's sidekicks will not let the puppets go to waste. When night falls

This is the make or break point for Trump. The establishment (on all sides) is going in for the death punch. If he survives this he'll be the best president ever. If not we get neocon Pence and a second cold war.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
