He isn't really stopping immigration, though -- just the undesirables, which can easily be determined by where they're coming from. You can try to spin that as non-racist, but it's pretty damn hard to tell the difference.

Yeah, immigrants from Norway are all obviously desirable, immigrants from Haiti are all obviously undesirable. So yes to Anders Breivik, no to a Haitian doctor.

I love how "stop illegals" has become "stop foreigners from coming here".

Well... unless they come to Trump Tower, paying quite a bit to the Trumps, on something advertised as a "birthing tour," so that the baby will be born in the US. There's a bunch of Russians and other foreigners who have been doing that, apparently.

No. If the Democrats lose badly in the midterms, there won't be much violence.

Otherwise, there really might be some, though not civil war.

Just a guess on my part obviously.

It's actually hard to say, I think. One of the troubles with large groups of highly energized and passionate people is that, in the face of great aggravation, it's more likely that problems will ensue. The nature of the problems will rather certainly differ from group to group, though.

The question I have, if the Dems take the house will be blame fraudulent votes or Paul Ryan and other Republicans who contradicted him?

He never actually stopped blaming fraudulent votes for his popular election loss. He's already effectively pushing blame onto Paul Ryan and the other Republicans. So... yeah.

Mmm. True enough. We're looking at you, Fox News. Breitbart and Infowars get honorable mentions, too, though. Much like the State News that Trump had set up. realDonaldTrump's viewer count probably well past enough to count him as part of the media, too, I think, and that would put him pretty squarely in the Fake News Media that's causing anger with its inaccurate and even fraudulent reporting of the news.

Republican Congressman Jeff Fortenberry's office called the bosses of a University of Nebraska-Lincoln associate professor for liking a photo on Facebook of a picture of Fortenberry that was vandalized w/googly eyes and the caption "Jeff Fartenberry."

Photo embedded in tweet. Since Fortenberry doesn't want it shared, and since he'll try to get you fired if you do share it, I suggest that nobody reading this thread share the photo with anybody.

After watching her speech today, I'm hoping now that Oprah does run in 2020. I do believe she'd obliterate Trump, probably by a wider margin than any of the current likely candidates, and the bonus is I don't think his ego could take it: A black woman with higher TV ratings would be a trifecta.

Wouldn't you rather have someone qualified? Someone who doesn't peddle dangerous woo? Someone who hasn't been demonstrated to waste money in efforts to help people? Someone who doesn't further the unbelievably stupid idea that being famous is enough of a qualification to be President?

Yeah! come down here in the mud with the rest of us, you goody two-shoes. That's how things will get fixed.

Fixed?

Bwa ha ha ha ha! Nice one. Because yeah, we're going to fix some of those things by discussing these topics on this forum! We sure are good keyboard warriors, here.

What do you think are the odds of convincing Slings or the late logger of your evidence-based opinions? At this point it's best to point and laugh.

I think she would be overwhelmingly better than Trump, but... that's a really low bar, honestly. I'm not particularly in favor of her running, either way.

In other news... Wohl's connection to Trump is through his dad. Looks like his dad's a Campaign Surrogate for Trump.


In still other news, U.S. citizen wrongfully detained and mocked by ICE awarded $55,000 settlement.

At this stage, I'd rather have someone who wins big. and who is not a traitor rather than a theoretically better candidate with a significantly smaller margin for victory.

Trump needs to be seen as a disaster for the GOP as well as the country.

So rocks are to be considered as dangerous as rifles?

I've yet to see a thrown rock that would go through a helmet or shield. But in Trump's alternate reality, anything is possible.

Hopefully, history will not have to rhyme again.

Kent State, for anyone who might not recognize that iconic photo.

Oprah scares me. Her being President would be a horrible idea and it's the exact kind of horrible idea that the Democrats are going to think is brilliant. "Sassy, rags to riches black woman defeats Trump" is just too good a narrative for them.

That isn't a response to what I posted. At least have the decency to acknowledge and make your own statement on my rebuttal.

"Anybody throwing stones, rocks, like they did to Mexico and the Mexican military, Mexican police – where they badly hurt police and soldiers of Mexico – we will consider that a firearm because there’s not much difference when you get hit in the face with a rock. As you know, it was very violent a few days ago, very violent."

Do you plan on doing anything other than vomiting up the inane ramblings of President Prison Date?

We're already one step removed from president Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.
