Evidently this IS, in fact, a schoolyard. There's no point in engaging with people who are deeply terrified Donald Trump might not be the Nazi they want to pretend he is.

Trump isn't a Nazi; he's a half-witted, amoral, petty, vindictive, narcissistic, mercantilist, authoritarian with some racist instincts. And the guy playing his Wormtongue - Bannon - isn't a Nazi either; he's an amoral anti-globalist, nationalistic, populist, authoritarian with racist instincts and a self-described Leninist whose self-stated goal is the utter destruction of the modern state as presently conceived.

I can't disagree with any of that.

There is no need for the United States to take on these masses of nearly unvetted refugees, as it works against our own national interests.

If the US is interested in a humanitarian effort, refugee camps should be built as close as possible to the countries of origion, and should be left to run by the UN.

I think it's also worth noting that the immigrants in ye olde tymes were seeking work and not just seeking a welfare state. Not all immigrants are created equal and there's no right to enter any country. If you have values that are antithetical to the US, feel free to stay where you are.

I was originally all for helping refugees, but it became apparent that it wasn't as easy as that. You have an awful lot of single men "refugees" and tales of economic refugees, not ones fleeing a war. It's complicated, and I don't see anything wrong with putting my own countrymen first. Unless you guys want to sponsor some in your house? Feel free. The UN **** the whole thing. Everything is ****, but it's not my responsibility. I already have a hard enough time feeding my own family.

This is why "Trump", by the way. Been forever since folks working at feeding their families had representation. The dems represented the **** out of everyone else, left so many regular family guys of all colors, religions, and political persuasions flapping in the breeze.

It was noticed.

Since evidently they're both typical coastal leftists, its unclear what your issue with him is. You should love the guy, with those attributes. Every one of them applied to Hillary Clinton, in spades.

Then please stop using the word "Nazi". It's really kind of embarrassing.

I'm starting to worry about you.

Am I going to need to come down there and perform an intervention ? Or confiscate all of your Seahawks paraphernalia?

You don't have to worry about him. All he's doing is trying to convince himself, like anyone else that attends a new church.

That's how you right what you believe is wrong. Trump should give him a citizenship medal.

Good story Talya, thank you.

Clever, appropriate and unexpected benefits.

Quoting bible verses is not a refutation of the Qoran. It also misses the point. Islam needs reform and Islamic reformers are courageous indeed, because if they are open and active, their lives are in danger.
