President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

We had the Robert Clary (played LeBeau) come in and talk to our history class about WW2. Our history teacher was a veteran and the running joke was not to make any loud banging noises because Mr Johnson would freak out from his war time.

It turns out Clary was a Nazi concentration camp survivor and his talk got a bunch of high school smart asses to STFU, seemed the cracks on Mr Johnson and loud bangs dried up as well.

 

Hey @RickStain ... did you see where I got promoted to "Postmodernist" yesterday?

 

WTF?

Riots in the Stockholm suburb Trump mentioned in speech | Daily Mail Online

Guess he and Tucker Carlson had the advance script.

 

To me this is like the billy bush tape. Everyone knew who trump was beforehand, but it gave a fig leaf for those who were rightfully embarrassed to have supported him to get off the train.

 

That raises your property value about 15-percent.

 

LOL. And, what do Islamic experts say?

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as degrees in Islamic studies from the Islamic University of Baghdad. Is he an expert on Islam?

 

My dad was in Japan. I don't think he ever commented on the Gilligan's Island episode with the Japanese sailor.

Once you find someone to blame for everything that goes wrong in your life, that's all you need.
Kinda like we do with the Russians now.

Lawmakers' anger over collective bargaining bubbles over into heated exchanges

 

It might be a small minority of Muslims worldwide who we might have "real concerns" about, but they make up the majority in some parts of the Muslim world.

A small group of extreme, religiously motivated fighters, have been able to take over large areas of the Muslim world. If there ideas and methods are so abhorrent to the vast majority, why can't they be stopped by the vast majority of Muslims? Even in areas of Iraq and Afghanistan, where we drove them out, they returned when U.S. forces left.

And, finally, if we're going to make Nazi comparisons... how do the majority of Muslims, who live in Muslim majority nations, feel about Jews?

If a Muslim nation/army/terror group conquered Israel, would there be objections from a majority of Muslims in these nations to slaughtering every living Jew they could find?

Many of the European Jews were Orthodox, and looked "Jewish", earlocks, beards, hats, long coats, etc. They were different, The Other. Throw in the Catholic bias against "Christ Killers". Then add in that many were shrewd, sharp businessmen. Many successful bankers were Jews. Add it all up and it accumulates into substantial prejudice. The Dreyfus Affair in France was a well known example of anti-Semitism. There was a high degree of it in Poland. Germany in the 1800's was a hotbed of belief in the Jewish World Conspiracy, but it goes back to the Romans and continues to this day.

BTE, I don't really have anything against the Russians as a people. Their leadership, however, from the Czars through Lenin, Stalin and through to Putin, have been some ruthless bastards. Stalin was a mass murderer on a scale that beat Hitler. Ask the people of Hungary or Czechoslovakia about the Russians rolling tanks over them. Putin is cut from the same stock. He's more media savvy, perhaps, but the Chechens (who yes, were nasty bastards themselves) saw Grozny absolutely flattened and Putin's puppet dictator put in place. Putin may play the media better (or care about his image more), but he follows the "Power comes from the barrel of a gun" philosophy as well as any of his predecessors.

 

LOL. As pointed out to you every time you bring it up, plenty of Islamic scholars around the world - including the Middle East - condemn terrorism and ISIS. But we're talking about Gorka's training in counterterrorism and/or Islam.

Gorka seems like a perfect case study for the sequel to this book ...
