[big][b][c=#BF0000]MarmieMarch[/c][/b][/big] says FALSE to all the above and it shows how desperate this stupid dummy dunce is, buy blurting out a couple of one liners. The American public is smarter than that and knows how to filter truth from attention seeking. [image deleted]

@MarmeeMarch That... doesn't really say anything there is false lmao.

The "banned Muslims" is a reference to the travel ban from Muslim countries, btw - with suspicious exemptions for the major sponsors of terrorism, oddly enough.
@QuixoticSoul Right - so dumbbell has to crop what she wants the American public to read. Cause BANNING MUSLIMS sounds more racist that imposing a temp. travel ban into known terrorist nations.

@MarmeeMarch Except that they weren't known terrorist nations - and actual known terrorist nations weren't on the list. It really was a transparent attempt to pander to his base and stick it to the Muslims.

I rate it as "somewhat misleading but accurate enough".
@QuixoticSoul Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen (south Yemen) were on the ban.

But known terrorist nations are:
North Korea
Iran
Sudan
Syria

@MarmeeMarch That [b]is[/b] a laughable list, you do realize this? Refer to the roster of 9/11 hijackers and its mastermind for clues why. Consider that terrorists from the countries on the list killed [b]zero[/b] Americans on US soil in the last forty years. A single digit number were convicted of various plots in that period.


NK and Venezuela were also absolutely laughable additions, btw. Like, huh?
@QuixoticSoul Just reporting what the 2 .gov sources gave me.

@MarmeeMarch Well, this is where you use critical thinking, and maybe consider that you were sold some transparent bullshit. 🤷‍♂️

Muslim ban is pretty accurate description of it - an action that accomplishes little other than let Trump tell people that he got tough on the damn towelheads.

Literally, more terrorists came from Croatia than Iran, Iraq, and Libya put together, and they were more successful too. Actually, literally infinitely more successful.

@QuixoticSoul I cant help noticing there are no Americans on the list.. Wasnt there this guy called McVeigh???
@QuixoticSoul I realize that terrorists come from all over but the hot zone is the mid east no ifs ands or buttttttttts - you can use critical thinking to measure quantitatively who are the terrorists and how many -etc...any left wing wiki- rag will point you to anywhere but his marked nations, I get it and the politics of it all.

But to remind people of the horror that the mid east has been to this planet I would say it's perfectly within his right to ban the nations that are known to us as enemies. The ones that came on our soil and disturbed our day.

And I don't think that we need to go down to the statistical level - let's just use common sense and think - who did what to us and the world in the last 20 years.
@whowasthatmaskedman Oh you mean the lone terrorist - that blew up one building. Oh I am sorry - lets ban all travel to his home state. Never know where you might find another. Maybe running a filling station on the edge of town.

@whowasthatmaskedman It’s a list of foreign terrorists - we can’t teavel ban ourselves 😂
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@MarmeeMarch Dude I gave you the numbers. Any such list without Saudis, Egypt, or Pakistan is complete silliness a priori.

@MarmeeMarch And the guy in Las Vegas? School shootings all over. Churches. Nightclubs?
Focusing on foreign terrorists is all very well. But it means that people only have to look outside for why people resent America. But it isnt just outsiders and I am sure none of the victims really care who pulled the trigger. Lets look at whats wrong with America that SO MANY PEOPLE feel the need to kill strangers.
@QuixoticSoul You can argue this all you want - it does not change the fact that terrorists come from a certian area of the globe. You can drill up or down the numbers , fiddle with the who done whats - but it is a WORLDWIDE bit of common knowledge that terrorists come from the Mid East - sorry if that sounds pro Trump voter but sometimes you have to lean in their neighborhood. Doesn't make you one.

@MarmeeMarch It’s known worldwide that primary nations where terrorists come from are SA, UAE, Egypt, and Pakistan, yeah.
