I made a demonstrably true statement about your hero FDR being the biggest racist in American history not affiliated with the civil war and you chose to parse words with some mumbo jumbo post.

It should have been clear I was speaking about internment of US citizens when I referenced FDR (your hero), but then you chose to go off on some unrelated Vietnam issue.

Calm down! Compose yourselves!

After all, the next shameful display, embarrassing breach of protocol, idiotic pronouncement, amateurish blunder, or move to strengthen the new fascist regime isn't for another half-hour or so.

She prob will be confirmed though, if current votes hold it will be 50-50 and then Pence will cast the tiebreaker. Heller and Toomey were the two GOP senators left who might defect and both have said this afternoon that they'll vote yes on her nomination.

I was partially kidding with my previous bombing of Cancun comment:

Trump Tells Pena Nieto He May Send Military to Take Care of "Bad Hombres"

Quote:

"You have a bunch of bad hombres down there," Trump told Pena Nieto, according to the excerpt seen by the AP. "You aren't doing enough to stop them. I think your military is scared. Our military isn't, so I just might send them down to take care of it."

Anyhow, the points I do agree with you all is that Scott Adams is a clueless clown, and np## you should realize that and not respect that dude in the least, lest you be a clown yourself.

I was afk when this got posted, and yeah I was taken in by a hoax, stipulated. Lesson learned about posting anecdotal news stories without a 48 hour waiting period but a hoax that's reported in good faith != an intentionally false story meant to deceive.

Even then the fact that the story was a hoax doesn't change the underlying fact that the Bannon/Miller inclusion of green card holders in an immediate ban without warning could have had no other goal than to inflict pain on Muslims that Trump's base could revel in.

Probably ponied...

"So in July the dossier said a Trump associate was offered 19% of Rosneft if Trump became president and removed sanctions. Then a sale happens in early December of 19.5% of Rosneft."

"The Trump administration wants to revamp and rename a U.S. government program designed to counter all violent ideologies so that it focuses solely on Islamist extremism, five people briefed on the matter told Reuters.

The program, "Countering Violent Extremism," or CVE, would be changed to "Countering Islamic Extremism" or "Countering Radical Islamic Extremism," the sources said, and would no longer target groups such as white supremacists who have also carried out bombings and shootings in the United States."

Another possibility is that it was a display of incompetence primarily.

Harris can go over the top, but his basic premise is that moderates provide crucial cover for fundamentalists. It's very difficult to argue that belief in astrology is misguided while giving those who believe in the tooth fairy a pass even though basing important decisions on horoscopes is the more dangerous of the two.

So the press secretary is not up on his 19th century history about Frederick Douglas. Nobody is an expert on everything. Obama was not an expert on the military and mispronounced the word "corps". No need to denigrate either of these guys for minor things like these.

Please, this ban was Bannon and Miller's baby from start to finish, they explicitly overruled DHS on the green card issue knowing full well that there were green card holders overseas who would not be able to return home or would be forcibly deported on arrival. How do those facts imply incompetence over malice?

Trolling him is obviously the best strategy. I'm sure Democrats will somehow go with a "don't troll him, he may continue acting as insane as he already is" strategy.
