If by mistake, you mean the ACA, that bill was gutted beyond relief as it traveled through the House and Senate. It was by no means Obama's fault.
[QUOTE=Tudd;51725512]So what, presidents in the past have won without the popular vote before and didn't have people throw riots in the streets day 1.
It's overreaction plain and simple. Go ahead and protest, but some of the behavior and rhetoric put out there from the protesters is insanity.[/QUOTE]
its not an overreactiong because trumps actions are speaking for themselves

None of them won while losing the popular vote by 3 million votes - that's what, near the size of a small state in the United States?
The Electoral College is a terrible system and if Clinton had won because of it despite losing by 3 million votes I'm sure we'd still be discussing it every thread about her.

This is what democracy looks like. People getting involved and getting their voices heard.
Why do you hate democracy?
Trump's a fucking retard, get over it.

Pot, meet Kettle.
wOA it's Tudd. With all the recent threads about trump gagging the EPA, reopening the pipeline, and the 'alternative information' debacle, it's great to see that you're still alive. I would assume you would be in there (defending the actions of your candidate), but these threads about protesters doing really mean things must be a doozy of effort.
[QUOTE=Gamerman12;51725434]i mean, believe what you want to, but a man who wants/wanted to bar people, even temporarily, from entering the country strictly based on their religious or familial background sounds like a man who believes one race is worse than another.
alternatively: the same man who makes a statement calling a majority of people coming from a place are bringing "drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists." [sp]i mean he followed that up with the worst fucking backhanded complement ever, saying "And some, I assume, are good people." what a joke. please don't defend this.[/sp][/QUOTE]
I didn't know ISLAM is a race.
Also what is wrong with looking at statistics?
Are statistics racist?
Last i looked most terrorism comes from people with an Islamic background.
Not that long ago there was a Interview on German TV about a father who lost his 2 sons to ISIS.
They first asked their father, If they could convert to Islam. He didn't think anything of it and said its fine by me. Believe in whatever religion you like.
Also i know for a fact with the Mexican talk that the USA has had for a long time this "War on drugs"
You do know that there a lot of Drug cartels working in and outside the USA near the borders?

What are you talking about? Tudd doesn't have an agenda, he said so himself! He's not making a point about those mean Liberal protestors, he's doing us a service by showing us how the world really is!

So just because Islamic Terrorism is by far the most common, Muslims should be prevented from entering the country?
I know Trump called for tougher vetting procedures and what not, but his first statement was to the effect of banning all Muslims from entering the country, to say nothing of wearing an identifying symbol. Remember who else had to wear an identifying symbol and where?
I also didnt know that Mexico was full of nothing but cartels, to say nothing about all those other innocent people who might be living there, no sir.
As for those kids, they were fucking retarded for falling for extremist propaganda.
[QUOTE=Captain James;51725465]Have you actually sat down and tried talking to a "protester"? You try to have open dialogue with someone and god forbid you use any words involving more than 3 syllables or you're accused of trying to make a word salad, if what you want to say doesn't fit a narrative you're silenced and drowned out with chanting or name calling until only their voice is heard. If you want to talk about cherry picking and condescension, take a good look at the people who were anti-Trump following this whole election cycle.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I have because I know a lot of people who go to my university and are actual intellectuals who protested. Nice job calling anyone who protests a moron

Already answered the EPA on two different other threads, good on the pipeline when you look at pros vs cons, and the alternative information is dumb.
The chances of a terrorist being Muslim are very, very good.
The chances of a Muslim being a terrorist are very, very bad.
The whole point about banning Muslims from entering the country is hilarious when you think about the fact these same people would probably have called for the banning of Irish people with Catholic backgrounds like me back during the times of the Troubles if the internet were around.
Despite me never engaging in violence.
Despite me hating the IRA's actions.
No, I'd be a danger of course. Because of my background.
Not because of who I am.

ah yes. the classic "we can bring up a couple examples of a broad generalization of a race/belief/etc. so therefore every person apart of that group has to be thrown under the fire" argument.
just because terrorist's come from islamic beliefs doesn't mean that everyone who is islamic or everyone who wants to be islamic is going to be apart of ISIS, so why should we halt their entrance into america for that? if we're gonna follow this same argument, maybe everyone in chicago is a criminal because chicago produces the most crime in america.
please.
oh yeah, way to also imply that people who want to convert to islam are going to ISIS.

I look at it and see a bias, but atleast it isn't reddit /politics/ bad. It's actually pretty good here except for a few leftists. I think most people on here are actually common sense liberals who just don't really comment that much cause this arguing is tiring as fuck for most.
But it also doesn't help that most of the mainstream media is also left leaning. Which is what fuels SH and that Facepunch is heavily favored to be not for Trump according to the census regarding political affiliation and voter admission.

This won't happen. Most Trump supporters are stuck in a cult of personality and attempting to reason with them only entrenches them further. Trump himself could come up to them in the street and personally kick them in the balls and they'd still find a way to blame it on """ the leftists""".
We need to ban their beliefs everywhere or they'll spread like locusts. I don't want to restrict political liberties but we need to do it to protect our [I]social[/I] liberties and save future generations from climate change.

Funny how you use the example of Trump kicking them in the balls considering that it was also Trump who said he could shoot somebody in broad daylight on 5th avenue and people would still vote for him during the election :v:

You're literally parroting what Trump is attempting to do with climate science.

I didn't say that, I said they should be more carefully looked at.
Yeah i know who else was using identifying symbols. Countries such as Egypt where you have a mark that says this guy is a christian, and also having to pay extra taxes for being christian, which seems to be common in Islamic countries. the Ottoman Empire has had the same thing.
Also i didn't say that Mexico was full of nothing but cartels , YOU said that.
What kids are falling for extremist propaganda?
And what propaganda are you talking about?
[QUOTE=Tudd;51725590]How social justice of you. So where do I go if I still want to keep my opinion?[/QUOTE]
You wouldn't have anywhere to go. That's the point.
Can people stop giving Trump supporters an easy way out by posting completely bollocked things like CanUBe did?
They'd be so much easier to put the pressure on if they did - because then they might not ignore certain posts.

Not really cause he isn't banning climate change believers.
This poster is actually nuttier than Trump.

What the fuck do you mean a bias.
These are threads reporting things straight from the mouth, or straight from the actions of Donald Trump himself.
Your threads are cherry picked videos of individual protesters.

No, we have to fight them with facts. And haunt them until they realise they're wrong.

nah, he's just telling government experts on the situation of climate change to stop talking to the press, stop using social media, and actually remove their research on climate change from the EPA website (albeit they rescinded that latter idea but the fact that someone on the Trump administration told the [B]Environmental[/B] [B]Protection[/B] Agency to stop gag themselves from talking about [B]protecting[/B] the [B]environment[/B] is arguably reason enough to go mental about this administration.)
