The President will be flying to Puerto Rico tomorrow to view the devastation,...
Nope: Here are Trump comments from the same day. 1) He said "two hurricanes" hit Puerto Rico - FALSE 2) He said Maria was a "Category 5 hurricane" - FALSE 3) He said there were winds "over 200mph" - FALSE
1) Irma & Maria - True, even if that is not quite what Trump said. 2) Maria was CAT 5 when it hit the Virgin Islands, Dominica, Cuba, and some other locations. It had slightly slower winds when it hit Puerto Rico. It is reasonable to refer to Maria as CAT 5 as the New York Times did. Rate this as true too. 3) Where in that link did he state the wind speed? I didn't see it. Even if he did are you claiming there were no wind gusts that fast? How would you know? Almost all of the wind gages in Puerto Rico were destroyed (by "gentle winds"?). I'll rate this as a fabrication by you.
And, he didn't get anywhere near the "devastation".
Before you quote a "White House spokesman" as evidence, maybe you should give us a date in the past eight months when a "White House spokesman" has not told a lie. Seriously. just one date - one - where there was not a lie from the White House, and I will rule your absurd claim as admissible
It's also quite telling that Brexit supporters have stopped trying to claim it will be great and fallen back to "it's the will of the people", while also opposing any further democratic consultation.
I think it is safe to say that in most jurisdictions in which a referendum takes place and you lose you don't get to keep voting on a question until your side finally wins. Normally it is one and done.
Canada’s socialized health care is driving more than 63,000 Canadians out of the country for medical assistance — largely to the U.S.
A new report from the Fraser Institute, a conservative think-tank, estimates that more than 63,459 Canadians traveled to find the health care that is often unavailable in Canada, usually due to long wait times for operations. That number is a 40 percent increase from the previous year, CTV News reports.
Redneck hicks who fell for the MAGA, and rich people who knew what to expect from the GOP.
Illegal immigration is down 64%. The wall he promised to build is getting initial funding. Military spending is on the way up. Many Obama regulations have already been killed. Conservative judge appointed to Supreme Court. Stock market and economy are on the way up. Move to come....
Looks like the Redneck hicks are getting what they wanted. Sucks to be you, I guess.
Have you ever been hired for a good job by a poor man? Gum up the works with regulation and taxes and jobs stop being created. Things moved that direction under Obama. Companies were failing faster than they were being created.
The same thing happened due to regulations and taxes under Obamacare. Before Obamacare it was becoming more and more common for low wage jobs to include health insurance and other benefits. After Obamacare low wage jobs started being essentially cut in two - no more full time and benefits cuts, including no more health insurance.
47% of the US population doesn't pay Federal income tax already.
As someone who spent seven years in active service, and trained many soldiers in Canada, worrying about someone's sexual orientation or whatever was dead last on my concerns. As in never spent a moment thinking about it, or caring about it.
. . . Male-male sexual assaults have risen each year since the repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell policy” that excluded “out” gays from the military. More specifically, Pentagon statistics show nearly 4,000 more male-male rapes in the year after the ban ended (2012) than the last year it was in place (2010).

Are we sure he's sane?
To be fair your political leanings have often left me wondering if you were a nutter.
It's hard to believe that you sent 7 years in the military, let alone in any sort of responsible position. But throw in Canada and things start to make sense in a certain way.
WASHINGTON — A controversial Pentagon directive that would allow transgender men and women to join the military beginning this summer now faces indefinite delay as senior leaders within each of the services voice lingering concerns about the Obama-era policy intended to end discrimination but dismissed by critics as social experimentation.
This development, confirmed to Military Times by multiple sources with knowledge of these internal discussions, comes as the Defense Department faces a July 1 deadline to fully implement a policy that one year ago lifted the ban on transgender personnel already in uniform, and established the conditions and timeline by which new applicants could join either through enlistment or as officer candidates.
Indeed, the numbers bear that out. Male-male sexual assaults have risen each year since the repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell policy” that excluded “out” gays from the military. More specifically, Pentagon statistics show nearly 4,000 more male-male rapes in the year after the ban ended (2012) than the last year it was in place (2010).

And women.
You would have to be profoundly ignorant if you're going to try to suggest that there are no differences between men and women when it comes to doing various military jobs. Any thoughts as to why there are essentially no women on "mens" teams in professional sports?
The pattern is so predictable we can all basically sing along to it.
Indeed we can. "The differences don't matter." "Standards won't drop." "No negative effects..." Bla bla bla.... boils down to "We care more about careers for diversity hires than combat effectiveness."
Not that devout Muslims clearly don't have issues with homosexuals, but then again, I can go to a conservative Catholic forum and see the same anti-gay vitriol.
I doubt that you do, and to the extent that you could in a Catholic forum it wouldn't be consistent with church dogma which I expect will be more along the lines of homosexuality is an error, and disordered - hate the sin but love the sinner.
First, You didn't answer the question that was posed. If you had answered it I think we would find remarkably little tourism from Syria and Yemen to the US, for example. Second, the answer that you did give "somehow" omits a long running important factor in the outcome. I'll give you a hand:
The first ban did have a problem in the exception it provided for persecuted religious minorities from those nations made it a defacto ban on the religion from those countries.
Doesn't it strike you as odd that the victims of genocide may not be favored over those of the group or sect committing genocide? Coming from outside the country this should not be an issue.
"Lenin is the greatest man, second only to Hitler, and that the difference between Communism and the Hitler faith is very slight." - Joseph Goebbels, “Hitlerite Riot in Berlin: Beer Glasses Fly When Speaker Compares Hitler to Lenin,” New York Times, November 28, 1925
“I know how much the German nation loves its Fuhrer,... I should therefore like to drink to his heath.” -- Joseph Stalin
From: p. 37, The Collapse of Communism in the USSR: Its Causes and Significance, by Doug Lorimer
Stalin's foreign minister, Vyacheslav Molotov, even denounced a war against Hitlerism as "criminal". In a speech to the Supreme Soviet on October 3, 1939 he stated:
The English government has declared its war aims as nothing more nor less than the annihilation of Hitlerism... A war of this kind cannont be justified in any way. The ideology of Hitlerism, like any ideological system, can be accepted or rejected -- this is a question of political opinion. But anyone can understand that an ideology cannot be destroyed by force.... This is why it is sensless, indeed criminal, to wage any such war for the elimination of Hitlerism."
In these sad times it is exceptionally comforting to see many Parisian workers talking to German soldiers as friends, in the street or at the corner café. Well done, comrades, and keep it up, even if it displeases some of the middle classes - as stupid as they are mischievous. The brotherhood of man will not remain forever a hope: it will become a living reality. --- L 'Humanite, 4 July 1940
. . . . Max Eastman, an early communist who later saw the light and rejected communism, wrote in his 1937 book The End of Socialism in Russia that the Soviet Union was “a totalitarian state not in essence different from that of Hitler and Mussolini.” Eastman later wrote in a subsequent book, Reflections on the Failure of Socialism (1955): “Stalin’s totalitarian police state is not an approximation to, of something like, or in some respects comparable with Hitler’s. It is the same thing, only more ruthless, more cold-blooded, more astute, more extreme in its economic policies, more explicitly committed to world conquest, and more dangerous to democracy and civilized morals.”
Erica Mann in 1938 noted the common war waged by Bolsheviks and Nazis against God and family, and wrote: “Again, all we have to do is replace ‘Bolshevism’ with ‘National Socialism’ to get a fairly exact picture.” Sir Arnold Lunn wrote in his 1939 book Communism and Socialism: “The quarrel between Communists and Nazis or between Stalin’s Communists and Trotsky’s Communists is not an economic controversy, but a struggle for the spoils of office.”
Herman Rauschning, the Danzig Nazi leader who later repudiated Nazism, wrote in his 1939 book The Revolution of Nihilism: “It is in the nature of things that the planning and methods of work of the Soviet State and the Fascist and the National Socialist States should be growing more and
Your claim is a lie, and a stupid one at that even if it is commonly attempted by some parts of the political spectrum. How did you come to believe such nonsense? .
That is a bunch of nonsense, there is nothing to do with the GOP there.
Fascists and Nazis get listed, but those are Left ideologies - socialists, national socialists. Oh sure, they're to the "right" of Communism, but still in the progressive camp. White Supremacists doesn't get you very far away from the Nazis so there is nothing much anywhere close to the GOP. It is actually kind of funny to think that someone is trying to pin "racism" on the party formed to free the slaves, and that fought segregation. Not even the "anti-government" stuff gets close. The GOP is for limited government, fiscal responsibility (at least officially), and personal liberty, not an absence of government.
More on the BNP’s success at stealing labor votes. Here are some wonderful posts about the BNP by Daniel Hannan. For instance:
Incidentally, any BBC presenters reading this, why do you keep calling the party “far Right”? Weren’t you listening to Nick Griffin’s acceptance speech? He wasn’t going to talk about immigration policy he said, since everyone knew where he stood on the subject. No, his priority was to expose the way in which public assets had been privatised. Look at the BNP’s manifesto: it wants nationalisation, subsidy, higher taxes, protectionism and (sotto voce) the abolition of the monarchy. And look at where its votes came from. The BNP is a symptom of Labour’s collapse.
Plus readers might remember his interview with Vox Day:
VD:One thing that tends to confuse Americans is that the British National Party is not very popular despite holding what appear to be populist views on immigration and the European Union. Why do they enjoy so little support compared to the three major parties?
DH:Because they are, contrary to the way they are described in the BBC, a party of the far left. They’re in favor of nationalization, they’re in favor of protectionism, they want workers’ councils to run industry, they want a massive state program of rebuilding manufacture. Like Hayek said about the socialist roots of Nazism, they are a national socialist party and the socialist bit is very important to them. Plus, there is a line, a very important line in politics, between being anti-immigration and anti-immigrant. And they’ve crossed that line.
VD: In a certain respect, they really are fascists, but in the Italian Fascist sense.
DH: Yeah. I think most of these so-called “far right” parties are on the left by any normal definition. It’s a brilliant media trick in Europe to always refer to them as “the far right”. The target of that is the mainstream right. Every time you read about the BNP in the press, it’s always prefaced with “the far right BNP”, as though they were like us, but more so, which is the opposite of the case. When somebody reads that, it doesn’t make them think any worse of the BNP, it makes them think worse of the right. Which, of course, is why they do it.
You're the bullshit artist here. There are more 2nd Amendment focused civil rights groups than just the NRA, and some people believe some of those others are more effective than the NRA. In a Clinton administration they would probably be the only ones standing.... until she unleashed the IRS on them as happened under Obama to Tea Party groups.
The "easily interpreted as incitement" shtick is also easy to understand as deliberate bad-faith interpretation and spinning for the political purpose of trying to damage Trump. The Clintons certainly aren't above that. After all, it was from someone in Hillary's campaign where the original birther attack came from.
As far as interpreting Trump, you seem to be doing it bigly with all the best words. What a load of bull.
