I mean isn't it obvious that it's about Islam already. Trump and Ahmadinejad would get along like Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger if the two countries were both Christian, I think this is clear to anybody.

Does Trump know that most banks still won't lend to developers that have multiple bankruptcies on their record even if things like reserve requirements or whatever are relaxed?

link?

GOP opposition to these rules always cracked me up. FAs are close to scam artists as it is.

But think of all the jobs that will be created by folks who can now scam legally.

Sure. It's not inconceivable that a more liberal Iranian government is capable of putting distance between itself and Hezbollah. They might be even more willing to do it if there's a real economic upside and the prospect of taking a step toward joining the West.

But more importantly, keep in mind that we are allies with several countries who we all know are hostile to Israel to some degree. Israel has minimal leverage here.

Easy game....Turkey: Oct 2015 - around 100 killed, Jan 2016 a suicide bomber killed himself and around 10 others, Feb 2016 30 or so killed and close to 70 injured and two strikes in March of 2016 (around 30 people killed) two in June (around 60 people killed) and the one in Jan 2017.

Then there where the countless car bombing that take place in Iraq, that were almost a weekly occurrence in the early part of 2016 but tapered off in the later part of the year due in large part to the push back of Isis.

Those where the two countries that have had most of the attacks over the last two years for obvious reasons.

Have frequently thought and concluded the exact same.

If Israel and Russia can, then sure.

This is also the worst analogy ever

No doubt. Just retype them in order.

It could be used to conscript rust-belt Trumpkins thus creating jobs for them. Of course rich Trumpkins would be caught up in the heel spur epidemic.

That's not a maybe but a definitely. Just like previous wars including Iraq and Afghanistan, it will be used to funnel low-income kids through the military if they want to get an education. This will hit rural communities and communities of color very hard.

I thought it was mostly uneducated rednecks that joined the military already.

I'm going to jump in here because this kind of thing always puzzles me. We agree that actually going to war with Iran would be ugly. Total war would be horrific, occupation has a near 0% of succeeding. So why do Conservatives sabre rattle if everyone knows it's not going to end well? Why complain about releasing sanctions when the reason sanctions are on them, presumably to get the nuclear deal, isn't considered as an end goal? My inking is that ether Iran is some kind of Conservative boogieman that has to be vanquished regardless of the strategic benefits or detriments to doing so, or there are some alternative reasons for all the sabre rattling and pushing for more sanctions that's never explained, it's just assumed everyone should be for it.

We don't have to guess. He told us.

F-1 student visas for kids from the seven countries have also been revoked. If someone leaves the country (on spring break, for instance), he won't be allowed back in. The government has not bothered to directly tell anyone about this, but just admitted it in the court proceedings today.

The Revolutionary Guard is a state entity. If their state military is labeled a terrorist organization, then yeah, easy to say it funded terrorists.

Much, much harder to show that they used it to fund Hezbollah.

Unbelievable.

This **** is going to take decades to fix

Like, we are entering the ****ing dark ages again. How much progress are we going to lose under 4 years of this fat ****?

You would have to be living in a cave to not realize or know about all the attacks that have taken place in Turkey. Those are only the most obvious.

Could I name all the attacks that are taking place in Norther Africa or other countries, nope. There are too many to count.

any republicans/voters reactions to Conway just making up a terrorist massacre out of thin air? I cant believe this **** can happen with your voter base not giving a **** this is an alternative world

He doesn't seem to be the most expository person but he seems to be the same paleo conservative that's deeply invested in a civilizational clash and seeing Muslims as some existential evil and liberals as being their enablers that's been a major part of the GOP but always edged out by the business friendly Republicans. He thinks he can tap into that inner volk of the American people by heightening their fear of Muslims and imagining themselves as the true Americans while seeing the liberals (and to a lesser extent the business friendly Conservatives) as helping the poor, minorities, and Muslims as cut in line or take priority over those true Americans

It's your basic right wing populism; xenophobia, islamophobia and pointing the finger at those who enablers of the hordes of outsiders
