The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Harm to Ongoing Matter - Page 151 - Politics and Economics

Actually I think having politicians first-hand see the war zones that they are funding and/or directing is one of the most important things we can do to help prevent wars.

All they're gonna see is a heavily sanitized tour of the most secure areas.

People aren’t scared enough of Central Americans, it’s time for some good old-fashioned (post 9/11) Islamophobia! Why would they need to abandon prayer rugs? Like they supposedly brought them all the way from [....] just to drop them at the border? Oh well racist old idiots gonna racist, just citing the Washington Examiner today.

Just realized that Trump has heard that a lot of Muslim immigrants from the Middle East and Asia end up here illegally so he assumes they cross the border, not that they overstay their visas. Of course there is no difference to him or his idiot supporters; I’m sure my parents 100% believe stories like this.

Sounds like the muslims are converting as soon as they get to the border. So we got that going for us.

Grapes are covered. Since we know all the rest of the immigrants are here to take ceo jobs, problem solved.

Sklansky was right. 4D chess.

It comes down to this: If the Pences love their God so much, then they would not sit in a White House with a man who shows no moral compass and said he never asks for forgiveness. They would be on the White House lawn, with the King James Bible in hand, disavowing a President who is a horrible representation for our children.

If Karen Pence loves "moral purity," she would have denounced Melania Trump for — for example -- posing naked and in handcuffs for a men's magazine when she worked as a model. If she and her husband want to sign a pledge of moral purity, they should first hand it to the President of the United States for his own signature.

Instead, Karen Pence works for a school that bans some children, which is un-American and soulless. And the Pences send a happy signal to their base (in the same way that Trump declared himself a "nationalist" to send a signal) that Republicans are the party of white, Christian, heterosexual values.

articles and arguments like this are completely useless, because they insist on engaging with these people as though they believe in the things they claim to believe in, which everyone knows they don't. so what's the point?

no, supporting donald trump makes absolutely no sense for someone who bases their belief system on the teachings of christ. this has nothing to do with contemporary american christian conservatism, which is entirely and more-or-less openly a front for white supremacy, patriarchy, and scammers who want to get rich.

so in fact it makes perfect sense for pence and his wife to be big supporters of trump. like...everyone ****ing knows this, so why do we pretend useless garbage like this article is insightful, or making a good point, or 'owning' the targets?

Logic checks out.

Also, the chance that these prayer rugs, if they exist, are actually bed rolls that you could buy at any camping store is >95%

Everyone doesn't know this. Everyone here knows this.

If the msm starts calling out their hypocrisy, that's a good thing. A ton of people are slow to the party and need everything pointed out in meticulous detail to start thinking differently about things.
