Islam is 100x better than liberalism. Will be good for them. I'll take free market capitalism and no socialism personally but those leftists have no destiny but be replaced. The furure belongs to those who show up and they dont show up.

I'd take Vladimir Putin, Rodrigo Duterte, or Ayatollah Khamenei over Hillary Clinton. Especially Vladimir Putin.

I watched a rerun of the press conference, and as usual, Trump #REKT them. It's hilarious how the media just took cuts out of his quotes, and put them completely out of context. Anyone who watched the whole debate could easily see that. It's just case and point for what Trump is saying is true. They're fake news. Very fake news.

Care to provide some examples for those of us who missed it live? This kind of surprises me, because you don't really have to quote him out of context to make him look bad.

Also, to the guy worried that Islam is taking over Germany... Depending on which source you go by, there are somewhere between 2% and 6% (Pew has it at 5.8%) of the population who identify as Muslims - and that's after the recent wave of Syrian refugees. I'm not sure why you're so worried. I never really noticed any problems with the local Muslim population where I lived, and there were quite a lot of Turkish immigrants.Even assuming that the growth rate remains constant (less than a percent per year), we're still looking at decades before they become a noteworthy plurality.

How can he not get impeached? Conaway actively promoted Ivankas worthless crap, Flynn resigns over Russia ties and you think Trump didnt know about that or order him to do that? There is a long list of reasons why Trump might not last through his first year.

You should look into how impeachment works. Nothing you mentioned warrants an impeachment. Flynn didn't resign over Russia ties. Trump said today that Flynn did nothing wrong and was just doing his job. He resigned because he lied to or at least mislead Mike Pence.

"Trump said..." - AHHHAAHAAAAAHAHAHAAA

Who cares what that lying whining baby says ?

3 important points:

- collective punishment of muslims is useless, more likely contraproductive and therefore a security risk

- an administration that works together with a spying foreign power and has made potential agreements before the election is illegitimate

- no respect of institutions, judges, journalists, scientists, constant lies + a small circle of power that apparently even excludes the vice president is the way to dictatorship.


Every other blabla and distraction doesn´t really matter. edit:* Actually understanding the motives of Trump voters is important. But he´s not the solution, he seems to have no deep knowledge about anything and doesn´t seem to allow competent advisors to help him. Trump is clearly overchallenged, or in his own words, the Obama administration left him with a real mess at home and in the middle east. In my words: the problems of the world are complex and I have no clue.

As for press conference with "Bibi": embarrassing, incompetent, but that´s also part of "collective punishment of muslims..."

You know the opposition is desperate when they have to dig up stuff that happened over 40 years ago.

There is no arguing with Trump supporters. They think their leader can do no wrong, the media is always fake news and muslims are all evil.

Theyre the ones that look stupid when Trump doesnt even get a 2nd term.

"There's no arguing with the group of people who were enough to win Trump the election. They'll sure look stupid when he loses the next one!"

Hey buddy? You're not helping. If you're going to argue on my "side", how 'bout you don't make an ass of yourself?

I never suspected you were transphobic, but there we go. Live and learn.

I find that hard to believe.

edit: oh wait, perhaps you haven't followed Sarah's earlier activities in the Trump thread and other threads. In which case, I can only say this: don't take my statement seriously.

I'm about as eager to follow her posts as I am to follow Morbo's. In that case, carry on, my bad.
