European views are very different than the views shared by the radical left here. If you research what is going on over there the majority feel humanity let them down. They open their doors to humanity and now some of those same people are killing them. I do feel for the innocent refugee children who get caught in the middle of it all. It has to end and this is the administration that may end put an end to it. Everyone is free to interpret things as they wish but what I'm seeing is administration that is at the forefront of leading the rest of the world in the fight against radical terrorism. They are setting a presidence for other nations to follow. We and the rest of the world will be very grateful in due time.

And they are not detaining and deporting legal residents and u.s. citizens as the media and radical dems have lead you to believe this weekend. If they are detaining legal residents for hours then that is on homeland security for
misinterpreting our laws. If that is the case than than this administration will have to clean house and get more competent people in there. Those coming in legally with visas are being vetted as they e always been only more thoroughly. The ones sneaking through illegally get sent back. Been the case since the dawn of time.

Didn't you post yesterday that people get vetted at the airport? According to the "process" is people get vetted then released as they enter the country? Now you think they are not supposed to detain legal residents for hours? While no one (including the idiot in chief) knows what the rule means - this is what has been reported

Where do green card holders from Trump's seven banned countries stand?
Senior officials at the Department of Homeland Security initially interpreted Trump's order to not apply to green card holders from the seven banned countries. Trump White House overruled that reading, however, meaning those green card holders were initially barred.

Yea that is pretty f'd up blunder. Those people should at least been warned. Whatever happened was cleared up less than 24hrs later. If they didn't clear it up I would've assumed they are truly taking extreme measures to get ahead of another attack from a U.S. born jihadist returning from another radicalization trip. Would I stop someone grandparents who are visiting their
Kids and grandkids NO. Nor would I have someone's grandmother remove her clothes and pat her down in a cavity search for a bomb. 9/11 changed everything for worse

No what's fukked up is a white nationalist mofo walking into a mosque and shooting 6 people dead followed by this reaction from our WH

Police did not give a motive for the attack.

Trump called Trudeau to express condolences to the Canadian people and to offer any assistance that might be needed.

The White House pointed to the attack as an example of why Trump's policies are needed. "We condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms. It's a terrible reminder of why we must remain vigilant and why the president is taking steps to be pro-active, rather than reactive when it comes to our nation's safety and security," White House spokesman Sean Spicer said.

The victims were businessmen, a university professor and others who had gathered for evening prayers, said Mohamed Labidi, vice president of the mosque.

"'It's a very, very big tragedy for us," Labidi said tearfully. "We have a sadness we cannot express."

He said the victims were shot in the back.

"Security at our mosque was our major, major concern," he said. "But we were caught off guard."

Simple question is the WH saying his jacked up BS now aplies to white people? If not do you think it should?

Why look to Canada when you can just look here in America.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/11/25/us/us-muslim-extremists-terrorist-attacks.html

I didn't deny the existence of terrorism, I asked a question- Are you and your president willing to treat all terrorists equally or are you seeking to avenge only those acts that fit your agenda? As expected you are unable to answer the question. So I am calling BS on your political position.

Nothing else to discuss.

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump will continue to enforce a 2014 executive order that offers protections for the employees of federal contractors from discrimination based on their sexual orientation, the White House said early Tuesday.

Mr. Trump “is determined to protect the rights of all Americans, including the LGBTQ community,” the White House said. It said the 2014 executive order signed by former President Barack Obama that protects LGBTQ rights for people working at federal contractors “will remain intact at the direction” of the new president.

The executive order signed by Mr. Obama barred federal contractors from hiring or firing employees based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.

The 2014 order left in place exemptions that religious contractors currently enjoy but didn’t offer any new ones. To that end, religious contractors may continue to choose anybody they like for ministerial positions—discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or anything else if they so choose. For nonreligious posts, these contractors can continue to consider religion in hiring—but not sexual orientation or gender identity.

At the time, the Obama administration said the executive order affected 24,000 companies that collectively employed 28 million people, or one-fifth of the nation’s workforce.

Expect Trump next to coordinate with Russia, Turkey and Syria to establish safe zones. The Syrian refugee travesty falls squarely on the shoulders of President Obama due to his indecisiveness and inaction. An embarrassing U.S. failure there. Inappropriate for him to chime in given his paralysis and indifference to their crisis but celebrities need public attention even when it displays rank hypocrisy. If anything, President Obama should be apologizing for allowing their plight to unfold

Boy am I glad the days of being subjected to obama's inaction and "moral" speeches are long gone. Nothing more infuriating than watching your leader mince words time and time again after these attacks and doing nothing. For 2yrs I've been saying I wanted a President who is proactive not reactive.

Where were Shumer's crocodile tears then? Too early for me to judge Trump but he is already showing more than I expected. Raw in delivery but willing to take hard issues head on despite the noise. He just needs to junk the peripheral garbage and get on with the guts of his agenda especially as it pertains to expanding and lifting the middle class. Every small business owner I know is rejoicing and optimistic about his direction

Earlier today, the official Twitter account for The Onion—our sister site and America’s finest news source—posted a video titled “5 Things To Know About Sean Spicer.” The tweet mentions that his role is “to provide the American public with robust and clearly articulated misinformation,”

However, it turns out that the joke was even more accurate than you’d think. The tweet tagged Spicer’s account, and rather than ignoring the dig at the Trump administration’s already well-established fondness for obscuring reality, he responded by saying “you nailed it.”

whether it's a popular stance or not, its certainly a stance based on nothing. i've ALWAYS respected your opinion DJ - you are definitely a smart guy and someone who, when you posted here, i always looked forward to reading their posts. but when you say things that are just factitious and based on nothing it looks kind of silly - and honestly no better than what orangeblobman or playa used to do. you're better than that. to throw stuff out there like that with no absolutely no backing is kind of silly to me.

we all have our views on things. and obviously alot of folks have different views of others. i'm an idiot, you're an idiot, everyone's an idiot. but we still have our views.

what i posted above is a conclusion i came to after pondering on it and having discussions with a few friends of mine, of which included white people and members of the lgbt community.

women and non-whites' rights have historically always been the last to be validated and even to this day are still suppressed in many ways. adding another characteristic to them in terms of being gay is just another thing that can cause even more suppression. so how did that characteristic of being gay see a huge boon in public acceptance over the past 10+ years?

my theory is b/c it was expedited b/c many white men were also gay. since historiclly, white men's rights are addressed first. they take priority over everyone else in this country's history and that's still ingrained in society. white men also have a higher position in the economic and political sector in this country. when people in that position have a characteristic, then they need to be accepted or addressed much quicker than those that aren't in that position.

so you may see it as some crazy belief but i think there's a socio-economic and psychological reason why gay's rights were expedited so quickly and i think it's b/c many folks in this country that hold socio-economic power are gay as well.

well you're definitely not a idiot lol. i respect your pov greatly - always have, and to be honest alot of what you're saying makes you ponder some very important issues in our society. the problem i have is you seem to be coming to conclusions without having anything to back them up. you sure have a lot of good points about it and definitely points that make alot of sense, but they are just your belief. i just think when you pass it off as fact it muddys the waters, especially in threads like this, where everyone posting in it is already on edge.

just my humble opinion.

ps - the raptors still suck

Guns you are so uninformed (like most Trump supporters) and its sad. Under Obama more people deported than any other president. He drop a LOT of bombs, took out Bin Laden, bailed out auto, bailed out banks... you have no clue. I am sure if it was Obama up there with kids from 3 women and a 25 year younger immigrant woman we would hear about what a disgrace it is. Your much better at hating on Melo. Stick with that.

Now if you want to talk policy... bring it. The pro Trump klan tends to be short on that

Ill take that avoidance as a no. Next time you whine about the high unemployment rate of young blacks, ask why Starbucks doesn't announce hiring plans of 10,000 young blacks

However 2 years ago...

Starbucks Corp.’s recent push to hire young people facing “systemic barriers to jobs” could open the coffee giant to liability—if the recruiting and hiring aren't done properly

Can you talk about something not explained in a Trump tweet?

if you cared about the truth you would look it up yourself and know that starbucks has had several initiatives like that. However your "announcement" is literally racist and impossible... however if you are talking about

So yes.. the company did announce an initiative to hire young people facing “systemic barriers to jobs”

Can you talk about something not explained in a Trump tweet?

I actually know the facts which is why I previously questioned why libby protesters would throw rocks thru Starbucks windows. Also know that 84% of Starbucks executives are white and not averaging $10 a hr. As far as announcements being discriminatory, how can he announce hiring 10,000 Muslim refugees over other Americans?

Also know that Shultz had plans to be in Clintons administration and future plans for a political career and that his news grabbing announcement had a underlying political purpose

But I can see where this is going...

Libbys and Muslims... any other groups you want to include?

What makes someone a libby? Like say for example you are just disgusted with a candidate's lies, refusal for any transparency and history of cheating, racism and sexual admitted sexual assault. With me? You so say... You know, Im just going to vote for the other guy/gal. Is that libby?

Nice twist on the starbucks though... add a little Fox news and a sprinkle of Drudge Report and "helping refugees" becomes "hiring Muslims over Americans." You could get a job working with propaganda barbie!

meloanyk wrote:More double talk. Guess refugees can only be classified as Muslims when it's a convenient fit for the narrative of religious discrimination. Guess hiring undocumented foreigners over Americans is the rally cry this week until it isn't.

Throwing rocks or looting your neighborhood store shows the hypocrisy and quality of protesters , may who are incited by those who spread falsehoods

btw, Starbucks and Schultz are well known for promoting a social agenda but its also self serving as it delivers low cost labor and reaps the top and shareholders that many despise. McDonalds without the hoopla offers greater mobility and diversity in the ranks for blacks as do many other well known national brands . Perhaps you might want to check the annual Black Enterprise rankings of businesses since you can google

Of course, gotta rework the narrative and come up with a new spin on Trump being anti-semitic, anti-gay, anti- everything. Otherwise the marches and whines will quickly fade. As far as suppression, some here may want to check on Islamic attitudes towards women, lgbt and blacks. Our historians may also want to check on where slavery began and who was still practicing it through world war 1

Yup democrats not republicans
http://totallyhistory.com/us-history/us-presidents/

Dems have become very adept at masking their ulterior motives by creating distractions to brainwash the masses. Republicans won for 30yrs at a time. Desperation leads to desperate measures. We are seeing a lot of desperation and scrambling from the left in 2017
