She's sounding more like Trump, and that is a good sign! You will see Trump smelling nicer and nicer as the years pass because people will begin to see that he has been right all along. Some people will stubbornly hold onto the 'wrong' position, but most people with rational judgement will see that parts of eastern Europe have the right idea, and Trump has the right idea,. "Enough is enough." I don't want to see a pogrom, but it's time to put the dangerous community under every microscope at your disposal.
@Northwest: Trump is right about pretty much everything. We need to have 'extreme vetting and travel restrictions / bans.' We need to be aggressive and pro-active in the war against terrorism both militarily and domestically. We need to keep the whole religion of Islam under every microscope at our disposal. His other ideas about other things are good too.

A super human, no doubt. He said the same thing himself. He knows more than anyone else, on just about everything. Well, except when it's time to actually do something about it, he seems to find out things are actually hard and more complicated than he actually thought, or conned you into thinking.
[quote]We need to have 'extreme vetting[/quote]
You'll be happy to know, that we already had that, and nothing proposed by Trump, short of an unconstitutional, religious, and racial ban, improves on the process ALREADY in place. Vetting refugees was taking nearly 2 years per person.
[quote]and travel restrictions / bans.[/quote]
Yes, an unconstitutional ban. The US is NOT a white Christian nation. In fact, the US is not a country that recognizes a specific state religion.

I agree, and we HAVE been. You know what the new Trump anti-ISIS plan is? the same as the Obama plan. There is no instant ISIS be gone spray. He lied to you, and you bought into it. The plan, that Mad Dog continues to execute on, is a slow, methodical and careful advance, on the primary ISIS strongholds.
What's new though, is that Trump is now back to the Bush doctrine, of supporting Saudi Arabia, the country that gave us ISIS, and the overwhelming majority of the 9/11 mass murderers, as well as the financial backing of all the extremists mosques and Imams who preach extremism.
[quote]We need to keep the whole religion of Islam under every microscope at our disposal.[/quote]
While some extremists have committed murders that resulted in thousands of deaths, committed in the name of Islam, the fact is that primarily Christian western societies, have started wars that caused the deaths of tens of millions of people, over the past century. They also enslaved mostly third world Muslim countries, which contributed, in significant ways, to the state of chaos in those countries. Oh, and not to invasion of Iraq, that started the exodus that's making a lot white "Christians" real nervous.

Grabbing pussy anytime you want, if you're feeling like a star?
All the points you've made here are just 'platitudes' at this point. The proof is in the pudding. We, intellectual midgets often say, "How's that working out for ya?" Well, western Europe. You have all these 'poodle shark' policies in place. How's that working out for ya?:
@Northwest: Okay. Perhaps you will someday exchange that bed of nails for a decent mattress, but for the time being enjoy the fruits of your own orchard.
@Northwest: You are the center of your own universe. I'm the center of mine. I know you're an American, so luckily for you, you won't have suffer living in the world you want to create for everyone ....not for a while yet. Perspective and filters are fascinating, but you would think that seeing the disastrous results of a policy would make someone reconsider the practicality of the policy, but it seems like the 'poodle sharks' insist on sacrificing everything on the altar of perceived social enlightenment. I guess that's why knee jerking reactionaries like myself get so upset. We have to suffer for your ideologies because, unfortunately, the poodle sharks are the establishment for now. *Poodle sharks* You like it? Every term has to start somewhere. I'm 'coining' this one. "Poodle sharks" is my new term to replace "snowflakes". People who appear to be poodles, but have the taste for blood and predatory habits of sharks. It's actually kind of flattering if you think about it.
@puck61: You're confused, if you think people have their "own" universes. The fact that you're using SW, should clue you in that we're part of each other's universe.
For instance, you can pretend, that in your own universe, it's OK to dump coal sludge in rivers. In reality, your universe, is nothing but the planet we live on, and that sludge will end in everyone else' "universe" drinking water and food.
When you use words like "poodle sharks" and "snowflakes", it also tells me that your "universe" is created by the likes of Sarah Palin and Breitbart, so stop patting yourself on the back, you did not coin anything at all.
You claim that Trump was right on everything, and the areas you picked to prove it, only show that he was 100% wrong.
The fight against ISIS. Do tell, what did he change?
Dealing with Islam. What did he change? Nothing. In fact, he re-empowered the forces that brought us radical Islam. Oh, and about Radical Islam, I guess he changed his mind about that as well, and never once mentioned it, since his Saudi Trip. In fact, he said that Islam is one of the world's greatest religions.
It's not like you figured out something the Europeans know nothing about. New immigrants, from Muslim and economically depressed countries, come from cultures that will initially clash with Western cultures. Integration is NOT a slam dunk, and it takes hard work to get it done. Europeans also figured out that an isolationist, racist and religious exclusive set of policies simply will not work for the 21st century. Perhaps they learned from their history of peasant upheaval.
Trying to pass yourself off as the "salt of the earth" whose time has come and feel empowered by Trump, the punch line here, is that you're empowered the populist billionaire, who does not give a rip about the salt of the earth, and he brought with him the finest Wall Street can offer. One thing he learned form the third world, and that's how dictatorships work.
You start with nepotism. Dictators want to ensure continuity, so they bring their kids, sons in law, extended family and friends, and inject them into every aspect of government. Just listen to Qussai (or was it Udai) Trump, claiming on Hannity, that those who do not like his father are not people. I guess then, the salt of the earth, ie people like you, are actual people, because they think Trump is right about just about everything?
Nope. "Poodle sharks" is all mine! Maybe it will catch on maybe not. You know what I mean by being the center of your universe. You see out of your eyes, and I bet you look out for number one when it comes down to it! That's normal. Politics is just like religion. We both claim exclusive access to the truth. Thing is people suffer for the unrealistic idealism combined with the fascist totalitarianism of the alt left, and that is why Trump is president. If you guys want to double down on the behavior that cinched the election for President Trump go ahead. It's a win win for us!
@puck61: [quote]We both claim exclusive access to the truth.[/quote]
Laughable, coming from the guy who says that Trump was right about just about everything. I, on the other, never claimed that I have exclusive access to the truth. I simply showed you, point by point, that your claim is false.
