Trump won the 1816 election too? It was foreigners (Dutch for an exampme) who took the slaves and sold them in America. The US Govt never sent boats to Africa to round up slaves.

Why are you stuttering?

That's because they love you, Nassir. When they cannot find camels, they just get some villagers.

Shylock, your work to provoke the Arab and the American against each other will be frustrated.

Relax old man. When did you get a laptop in the hospital?

You remember when I was talking about Farouk? I got a phone call from his widow. She says to say salaam. She is working for the Americans now and lives in Florida. She got the last laugh! You cannot beat her anymore, and Farouk is dead.

Here you go, JLM......

Each pion consists of a quark and an antiquark and is therefore a meson. Pions are the lightest mesons (and, more generally, the lightest hadrons), because they are composed of the lightest quarks (the u and d quarks). They are unstable, with the charged pions.

Though what they have to do with the topic is beyond me.

...as I said, poopy little ions!

Do you belong to a mesonic lodge, by any quark of fate?

Right, wrong, like or not, it's here and it's real. Listening to Spicer just now, I have to say he must be the worst god#m, as#hol# sounding bigot I've heard in a long time. Next to him is Rudy!! The biggest of course is Bannon, but he has the good sense to whisper in one ear behind close doors. They probably truly believe that this travel ban is the right way to go, since no Leader has ever tried anything concrete (more soldiers on the street, call a state of emergency, spies! and colour coded threats in France, Belgium and US), the problem is that it did not stop the next terror attack?? Trump's team have no point of comparison for success on fighting terrorism.

I happened to be watching CNN when they showed the clip of Schumer, Loc. He was standing at the podium waving in a group of people obviously chosen for their ethnicity, making sure he could crowd in as many as possible. I couldn't help thinking what a great example he was of an opportunistic politician taking advantage of the situation for his own ends.......and that was before he started with the fake tears - when he did that, I almost spewed my coffee. Reading this today surprises me not and just goes to show my first impression was correct.

I understand the large tech companies are mad at Trump because some of their 'fleshy thingys' are being held up at airports and not showing up for work.

57 Times More Coverage of Trump’s Temporary Ban Than Obama Ending Cuban Refugee Program

On January 30, the first weekday morning after President Donald Trump’s controversial executive order which temporarily banned immigration from several Middle East countries, the networks devoted 64 minutes, 8 seconds of coverage to this topic.

However, on January 12, then-President Obama ordered the ending of America’s longstanding “wet foot, dry foot” policy, which had allowed Cuban refugees entrance to the United States. But the broadcast networks were largely silent. Between them, ABC, CBS and NBC only spent 68 seconds during their news coverage the following morning – nearly 57 times the coverage from Trump’s policy change than Obama’s.

[...]

But this wasn’t the only instance of the networks ignoring one of President Obama’s bans on refugees. It wasn't until 2013 that ABC News reported that "State Department stopped processing Iraq refugees for six months in 2011," after the discovery that two al-Qaeda operatives had used the program to enter the U.S. and move to Bowling Green, Kentucky.

The story was featured prominently on the November 20, 2013 editions of ABC's World News Tonight (3 minutes, 25 seconds), Good Morning America (two segments totaling 3 minutes, 34 seconds), and a 10 minute, 19 second feature report on Nightline. Most of ABC's coverage was about the deficiencies in the refugee vetting that permitted the terrorists to infiltrate the U.S., with only a couple of sentences spent on the six-month moratorium.

But CBS and NBC never followed up on the story, and ABC dropped its coverage after that single day of attention.


57 Times More Coverage of Trump

People don't care mentalflake. People are starting too be poor, And as more and more Americans become poor, people like trump will win elections more often. People don't give a fk about refugees when they can't even manage to have a decent life for themselves.

You may enjoy a nice life mentalflake, But Trump being elected is a good indication that close to half of American's are not doing very well.

The standard of living is going up and there is less violence than we've ever had.

People care for refugees when people have everything they need for themselves and their families. As soon as poverty starts creeping up on people, they stop caring

The standard of living is going up and there is less violence than we've ever had.

Young people have been doing very bad for a while now.

Oh yes. What a single income family could afford 30 years ago. A dual income family has a hard time providing today. ;)

I guess I should quit making fun of trumpites. I didn't realize they were the bottom rung.

Attn Trumpites!!! I know you've fallen on hard times. If you ask politely, I'm willing to buy you a bus ticket to Medicine Hat and I'm even willing to give you a room for a week or two. You'll have no problem getting a job here. Even the more stupid among you.

PM me

The standard of living is going up and there is less violence than we've ever had.

It's a mathematical certainty but some people don't have the IQ to understand it
