President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

A bunch of Iraqi immigrants left Finland late last summer. Just up and left.
They didn't like the food nor the climate. The refugee 'experience' there dismayed them.
Problem solved.

 

I can get on board with that.

 

Rhetorical question after a cowardly dodge. You ducked the question.

 

How close did Obama protestors get to him?

 

I just went online to see what was being said and I see Kelly used "shine a light" in one of her responses. I had not read that before I posted my comment.

And if she doesn't challenge him more than to say 'people get mad' as she does apparently, shame on her.

 

Schumer: Is Newt Gingrich 'Afraid Of What Mr. Mueller Is Going To Find Out?'

 

What does somebody protesting without a permit deserve in Russia?

 

Gianforte's sentencing seemed pretty reasonable given the crime, and his apology was good enough for me.

 

Would you consider the KKK to be a big threat to the security of the United States? Do you think the threat the KKK poses to the United States and the potential it has to recruit more members of the United States carries a significant risk to carry out preventative measures against people who could become members of the KKK?

And before I get the "that's a false and cliched comparison" remarks, I bring it up because the percentage of radical Islamist fighters (depending on which source you believe, but for the sake of argument, I'm taking numbers claimed by ISIS which is on the order of 10 times higher than what the CIA believes) is very close to the percentage of people in the KKK. Assume 150,000 radicalized Islamist fighters now (numbers vary depending on the source, but go with me here) and assume about 5,000 KKK members (might be a little high, but it was the low end of a recent estimate. I also saw 3,000 for full disclosure). The percentage of radical Islamists to total Muslims in the world is roughly 0.008 percent. The number of KKK members to total US population is roughly 0.001 percent.

The threat of ISIS and others is significant, I'm not downplaying it. But it's scary when you start throwing around things like "large percentage" of a religion being a threat. If we're throwing around a whole population is a threat because of a few thousandths of a percent we need to consider the whole population of the US a threat too because of a few thousandths of a percent.

 

Donald Trump is President and Dennis Rodman is on his way to North Korea.

They know each other.

Is Rodman carrying a secret message from Trump?

Is Rodman doing Bay of Pigs type back-channeling??

Even money, I say.

 

Trump friend says president considering firing Mueller

This would be fun. It's Chris Ruddy of NewsMax.

 

Like most places, depends if it's a first-time offense or a repeat offense.

Navalny is a repeat offender that causes major disruptions in the middle of the busiest streets in the nation's capital.

I think he got 30 days for today. Got 15 for his illegal protest in March. Sounds about right, I guess. Next time I say give him 6 months.
