The desires or "plans" of the woman in the burka are irrelevant. History shows us that muslims in large numbers always make war with everyone around them, even other muslims. It flows naturally from their core philosophies, wherein they believe Allah made them pure, therefore evil and corruption comes from outside the self. Society, the actions of others, etc. This is unlike Christianity where they believe people are fallen and evil you do is your own damn fault. This is why where Christians/westerners punish the rapist, muslims stone the rape victim whose brazen bare ankles tempted the pure muslim man to sin, so she must be purged. Ergo, enough muslims who have a bad time in life (which is inevitable...there is no end to suffering in this world) will always eventually blame their troubles on infidels and apostates and go snackbar on them.
So, the woman in the burka isn't the problem, but the five kids she squirts out will be. Therefore it's best to keep muslims in muslim countries because eventually they will try to turn any country they're in into a muslim country. Unless you want to live in a muslim country, and I don't. I kind of want the future to look like Star Trek, and muslims don't build spaceships.
Those seven countries do not have infrastructure such that they can provide documentation to Customs/BP/DHS/State so background checks or vetting can occur. It's hard to get someone's police record from the "government" of Somalia so you can see whether or not they're a criminal. Saudi Arabia has a functioning government, their people can be vetted, so there's no reason to deny travel from SA. Or would you like Saudi Arabia added to the list because they're muslim?
What do you think Trump has done that would disappoint pro-life voters? He re-instituted the Mexico city policy, he's on board with defunding planned parenthood, he sent his VP Mike Pence to give a really emotional speech at the right to life march (highest ranking person to ever do so, forcing the media to cover it when usually they ignore it) and by all indications he's going to appoint a SC judge who would be a strict constructionalist, so that's the kind of person who might overturn Roe v. Wade. Why would any pro-lifer be disappointed in Trump?
No, "alternative facts" are the facts the media chooses not to report so they can lie by omission. Claiming that "alternative facts" themselves are lies is lying.
Flat in spatial dimensions, yes. That doesn't necessarily mean it's flat in higher dimensions, though. Also doesn't mean there are or are not higher dimensions.
"You know, they said it couldn't be done. All the frauds at the failing New York Times, they all said 'Oh, 11:55, 11:56, closest you can get to doomsday.' What do these morons know? And then you saw it, you saw it right?! That guy saw it! (points to crowd, cheering) So then I said climate change is a Mexican hoax to send more rapists and I tweeted I was moving two carrier groups into the South China Sea and boom, bing, boom, just like that, 11:58! Happened so fast, it's so easy, it's so easy. (crowd cheering) And this is just the beginning, folks, just the beginning. We're getting that all the way up, to 11:59, to 12:00, to 1 AM who the hell cares! We're gonna make doomsday great again, believe me!"
Breitbart is so pro-Israel the actual neo-nazis call it "kikebart." Steve Bannon is a civic nationalist. So you're either uninformed or talking out of your ass, or doing the usual lefty "everyone who disagrees with me is literally Hitler" thing. Probably both.
It was clarified they were just talking about social media stuff, particularly during the transition. Not scientific publishing. But, "TRUMP GAGS SCIENTISTS!!" is a better headline for the fake news than "Trump tells EPA employees to stop tweeting political stuff during transition." Gotta keep the outrage machine running full throttle yo.
Oh my, Trumpeteer's are getting so desperate, they try to ascribe a genius to his actions.
Too bad you've just said that Trump is so maliciously dishonest that instead of speaking the plain truth, he acts surreptitiously just to manipulate people.
He actually describes the technique of media manipulation in his book, The Art of the Deal. I recommend it.
If Obama and Hillary did the same thing, you'd accuse them of populist politics and promising to put a chicken in every pot and you know it.
The difference is Trump tells a white lie ("42% unemployment!") to wake people up to the truth ("employment situation is bad"). Hillary and Obama tell black lies ("5% unemployment!") to make people believe falsehoods ("employment situation is good"). One of these things is not like the other.
Sorry Meta-monkey, your con-game requires ignorance to work, and that ain't the case.
The American public is hugely ignorant, less so now thanks to President Trump. Oh and Trump won the election, so the game worked.
Issues like NSA spying, The Patriot Act, police militarization, etc. never came up as topics in the debates.
When Snowden revealed the depth of NSA spying to normal people in 2013 I expected the 2016 election was going to partially be a referendum on these practices. Never really came up, did it?
The sad fact is that we now have actual Nazis in the US government and whispering in the president's ear.
There you go again. This is why "nazi" is no longer a slur and everyone just rolls their eyes. There are no nazis whispering in the president's ear. You do this to every single Republican ever.
I would really like a glimpse into the alternate timeline where Jeb Bush was the nominee.
"You know who else had an amazing guac recipe?! HITLER!!!!"
"Fuhrer Jeb says illegal immigration is an 'act of love.' You know who else illegally immigrated to Poland and France?!?!?!"
"Jeb Bush carries turtles in his pocket. You know who was a noted animal lover?!?!?"
As a former Democrat, all I can say is that the new left had better wake up and realize that SJW's are a cancer that will ultimately kill the host.
And there are certainly crazies on the right. The difference is the center-right ignores them or disavows them and does not give them a platform. No one would ever hear a single idea of David Duke or Richard Spencer if the left and corporate-left media didn't promote them. You will never hear Sean Hannity welcoming "friend of the show Richard Spencer" onto his TV or radio show. You will never see even Ann Coulter citing the "scholarly work of Dr. David Duke." No one wants anything to do with these people. But the liberal college professors let the SJWs run amok on campus and the Democrats parade illegal aliens and various nutjobs out on stage at their national convention.
This is severely off-putting to normal people, and the Democrats are doomed unless they start punching left. Their biggest enemy is not Donald Trump. It's the pink haired landwhales literally shitting on the streets as a "political statement," the antifa thugs beating the hell out of trash bins (must have found Adolf Binler, the most evil racist trash bin of all time) and the illegal immigrants waving Mexican flags while they throw eggs at Republican voters.
Actually it was because an employee with the EPA twitter account was sending out politically charged tweets that had nothing to do with science (they were about the inauguration) and the boss (Trump) told them to knock it the fuck off.
If may be insignificant and not newsworthy, but it is not fake.
The fact is true. The context is fake. This is how media propaganda works. They choose what they want the person experiencing it to believe when they're finished, and then play up certain facts while completely omitting others. People think in narratives, not facts, so you provide the narrative ("Trump is a dark villain") and then provide facts that confirm that narrative ("This one common line of rhetoric about giving power to people was also once used by a dark villain.") True fact. Phoney narrative.
Immediately after Trump's victory the media was trying to paint a picture of Trump supporters committing violence against poor minorities and such because the sky is falling now that evil Trump has won. Tons of "hate crimes" loudly reported...about all of which turned out to be hoaxes. However the coverage of the "hate crime" was front and center at the top of their website in 48-point font. The story a week later when police investigated and found out it was made up or a false flag was either not reported, or a tiny link at the bottom of the page.
Or, case in point, there was a video on social media that CNN picked up about an anti-Trump protestor being tackled off a flight of stairs (I think at OSU). You can see in the video the guy speaking, and then you hear someone with what sounds like a speech impediment yell "You are so stupid!!!" and lays the guy out with a flying tackle. CNN headline: "Anti-Trump protestor attacked." They show the video, they talk about how dark and scary things are now, about a rash of "Trump-related violence" around the country. At no point do they let you know the attacker was actually an autistic (literally) Hillary supporter who got socially confused and thought the speaker was pro-Trump, and was attacking him for that reason. It was an isolated incident of mistaken identity by a person with developmental disabilities. But anyone seeing the headline or even reading the story is left with the impression that violent Trump supporters are attacking peaceful dissenters. The video was fact! The context was completely fake.
That's not how pathological liars work. They absolutely know they're lying. But they assume everyone else is lying, too, and it's okay to lie to a liar. Gotta fool them before they fool you, right?
I don't think that describes Trump, though. What he mainly does is exaggerate, or a variation of Cunningham's Law. He says things that are imprecise, but in the direction of truth that otherwise the media would never report. Example, Trump wants people to know "employment numbers are bad." Obama/Hillary says 5%. Trump throws out any random high number (42%, whatever) and then everyone "proves" Trump wrong by saying "well yeah the 5% number is bullshit so maybe it's really like 15% or 20% when you start factoring in underemployed..." etc etc. Okay, great, Trump had a number wrong, but at least he recognizes the problem. Most importantly, the voters who are struggling to find work are now very aware that Trump is aware of their employment problems. They don't really give a shit about the exact number, because the only number they care about is the number of jobs they have. Obama and Hillary also both have wrong numbers, and are wrong about the existence of the problem. If Trump gave the 15% or 20% number himself everyone would just ignore it.
Same thing with Mexican rapists. If he just said "some illegal immigrants are criminals" he would be ignored. So he said Mexico is sending rapists, and then the media has to start arguing over just how many Mexicans are rapists. Fun(?) fact, 80% of central American women and girls are raped during their illegal border crossing. So, as Trump said, "well, somebody's doing the raping." Voters are then more concerned with stopping the rapes rather than nitpicking over the number of rapists.
Slashdot Mirror
I can't wait until we win the war on microaggressions so we can move on to those pesky nanoaggressions.
And the "alt-right" that sort of exists now has nothing to do with feminist gaming shit, either.
I agree that would be highly, highly entertaining, but Milo is a citizen of the UK.

You understand the media does the same thing, right? This is a propaganda war, and you're complaining because someone's fighting back.
Flat in spatial dimensions, yes. That doesn't necessarily mean it's flat in higher dimensions, though. Also doesn't mean there are or are not higher dimensions.
Those crazy bastards want to watch the world burn and are happy to set the fire.
Yeah, mutually assured destruction isn't really much of a deterrent for religious fanatics who worship martyrdom.

Keep it up. Been working great for you.

When did you stop beating your wife?
When she stopped talking back.

Isn't the definition of a "fact" that it is a non-debatable, unambiguous truth?
But what good are true facts with false context?
Issues like NSA spying, The Patriot Act, police militarization, etc. never came up as topics in the debates.
When Snowden revealed the depth of NSA spying to normal people in 2013 I expected the 2016 election was going to partially be a referendum on these practices. Never really came up, did it?
The audience is not just the people on the ground, but also the people watching at home. And Trump’s inauguration broke live video streaming records.
The sad fact is that we now have actual Nazis in the US government and whispering in the president's ear.
