We recognize it, yet we're regarded as racists and xenophobic when we call on the Islamic community to do something about it themselves. When it gets to the point that you are having to segregate people for their own and your own safety then people like the clan and Isis have won.

Trump news the second
|
Part of the trouble, though, is that groups like ISIS and Taliban are very quick to quash any sort of resistance. And any outside resistance that -can- do something about them... Well, it's all tied up in the politics of Southeast Asia. Everyone has an ax to grind against everyone else, so good luck getting them to work together. Muslims that come here to America are often trying to get the fuck away from that bullshit.
So. Hillary has pneumonia.
Which means... er... ah... Trump was right abut something. -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them.

The news today is the Donald finally admitted Obama was born in America. Let's see how long it takes him to walk back on that. I fully expect some comment like "whereever you think Obama was born, there are lots of opinions out there" by next week. -- ∇×V 
According to the BBC, he's now blaming the Birther Conspiracy on Hillary.

He also said in that speech that he ended the Birther conspiracy-theory when Obama produced his birth certificate. If you go through published clips from interviews with The Donald after that event, you'll see that "ended" is synonymous with "continued" in his dictionary. And, yeah, I've never hidden the fact that I'm Canadian. Federal-level elections in the USA affect Canada, too, but we don't get a vote. Something else that was mentioned on the CBC - if Trump wins, he and his immediate family will have to put their business holdings into a blind trust.

What makes you think Donald Trump accepts that as President there'd be rules he couldn't just ignore?

But, hey, if you want to elect somebody who has a history of playing fast and loose with money matters, that's your choice. And if the historical single largest producer of uranium wants to stop doing business with you because we can't trust you'll pay your bills because of your choice of leader, that's our choice. (Maybe you'll be able to buy some from Kazakhstan. You certainly don't produce enough domestically for your own use...) Not saying this will happen - maybe money will ... er... trump principles. -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them.

Anyone who would sell uranium to the US government has already let money trump principles. (Well, unless their principles include "try to start a global nuclear war.")
Even Clinton is doing her bit to get Trump elected now:
Clinton: ‘Why aren’t I 50 points ahead?’ of Trump Quote:khagler wrote:Turn the argument on it's head. The GOP could had a much better shot if they had nominated any one but Trump against Hillary. Even Cruz. That cartoon of Hillary and Bill cheering Trump on during the nomination sez it all. __________________ Into terror!, Into valour! Charge ahead! No!

Did anyone watch the debate per chance?

About the first twelve minutes, then Hillary took her first shot at Trump and I knew where it was going.
To be fair, it's not too hard to goad Trump. From what I heard, she took him apart like a cheap pocket watch.

The debate was a pretty good show. It was one of those events that reminds you how frighteningly competent Hillary Rodham Clinton is when policy and political knowledge are on display. And of the difference that preparation can make. It should be shown to junior high school kids as a scare film. "This is what happens when you study... and this is what you look like when you don't study." Stay in school, kids.
There was a lot in the media about it, ranging from Trump's cocaine habit sniffles (???), to the interruptions, to the point where Trump very nearly says that he will not accept Hillary as President. Or the point where Clinton repeated the way Trump described a Miss Universe winner as "Miss Piggy", and he demands to know where she got that information. OMG, someone broke the NDA, he's going to sue them so hard with his Jewish lawyers!!! Jew lawyers are the best, top notch people, believe me. Or the rambling response about nuclear weapons where he suggests that maybe Japan should get some nukes and that China should "go into" North Korea. Trump also mentioned that "stop and frisk" is not really unconstitutional as a response to a question on how to heal our racial divide. After the debate, Trump complained about his microphone not working. There had to be some reason the crowd wasn't applauding him constantly amirite? Just like there had to be some reason when he was given a cybersecurity question, instead of mentioning the email server, he said, "The security aspect of cyber is very, very tough," before going off on how good his son was with computers and fat shaming. In other campaign news, Gary "Aleppo" Johnson, when asked to name a living foreign leader he admired, drew a blank. His running mate Bill Weld seemed to be able to do it. So why are we picking VPs who are better than the candidates? Aren't the VPs supposed to be impeachment insurance? -- ∇×V
Actually the committee that oversees the debates came out and said that there had been something screwy with Trump's mic. And while not particularly nice calling that particular woman Ms Piggy was an insult to the muppet.

I've seen a couple headlines along those lines myself, Rob, but I don't have cites to hand.

Here's the link to the Commission on Presidential Debates statement about the microphone.
