And you should take note that your standard for politeness is a tad too base for this thread right now. For a lib you surely have the mouth of a redneck.

Your hero is a pathological liar, accused of sexual assault by over a dozen women, is a racist, a misogynist and tells 10 year old girls he will be dating them one day....but you think I'm not being polite enough?

Now that's funny...

Trump supporters will be decimated. I could say they get what they deserve, but I still feel badly for them. Sometimes it takes something bad to kick them in the ass.

Life is tough. It's even more so when you're dumb.

Bin Laden and Obamacare is what you remember from the previous two terms. Trump has outdone him in less than two weeks.

This is a ridiculous statement. Much like your hero Trump, just made up straight out of thin air; facts are meaningless. This may be your standard for an argument, but it's not mine.

You should stick to what you know best: An in depth analysis of the lizard people and how they've infiltrated our society via the Illuminati.

Trump is being so active you gotta wonder what the hell an ordinary politician does to justify his pay check.

The guy reports for work and you all cream your pants. Do you believe the prior Presidents all just lounged around?

Yea, you're so objective. It's clear as day.

Perhaps you'd like to explain how Trump has helped you as a Norwegian win so far?

He gets to keep his healthcare.

Trump is a stupid cunt, there's just no other way to put. I'm pretty sure you're not, but you're being fooled by his bravado and posturing.

He's not fooled. He just wants to stand next to the winner. Prior to the election everybody thought it would be Hillary, including Flagg. So he took the opportunity to prove he wasn't a partisan hack and instead was a contrarian who saw Hillary as more capable. He even wrote a big post about it. Once Trump was the President Elect (or even when it became evident that he would probably win), he dropped that shtick and ran back to Daddy. There is no criticizing Trump now, none at all.

Conflicts of interest, potential Constitutional violations and other complications related to his business...we're just getting started. No way Trump makes it four years.


Countries where Trump does business are not hit by new travel restrictions

The seven nations targeted for new visitation restrictions by President Trump on Friday all have something in common: They are places he does not appear to have any business interests.

The executive order he signed Friday bars all entry for the next 90 days by travelers from Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Libya. Excluded from the lists are several majority-Muslim nations where the Trump Organization is active and which in some cases have also faced troublesome issues with terrorism.

According to the text of the order, the restriction applies to countries that have already been excluded from programs allowing people to travel to the United States without a visa because of concerns over terrorism. Hewing closely to nations already named as terrorism concerns elsewhere in law might have allowed the White House to avoid angering some more powerful and wealthy majority Muslim allies, such as Egypt.

But without divesting from his company, as bipartisan ethics ­experts had advised, Trump is now facing questions about whether he designed the new rules with his own business at least partly in mind.

“He needs to sell his businesses outside his family and place the assets in a blind trust, otherwise every decision he makes people are going to question if he’s making the decision in the interests of the American people or his own bottom line,” said Jordan Libowitz, the spokesman for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a liberal watchdog group. The group has filed a lawsuit arguing that Trump is already in violation of a constitutional provision barring federal officials from accepting payments from foreign officials.

What, are you stupid? Bill Clinton could have killed Bin Ladin the previous year and did not. That was a well executed plan and after that time not another one happened. I can't blame Bush on that attack when at that time there wasn't near the threat that we have now. That was the pre 9/11 policy. The previous attack on the WTC was 8 years prior. Bush had been pres for 8 months. That attack was planed way before 8 months. Do we blame Clinton too? There is word they got a vague warning.

Bush was given a memo that said "Terrorists plan on hijacking planes and flying them into buildings" as weapons...and chose to ignore that intel.

Like the Bush admin, Clinton had both domestic and foreign born terror attacks on US soil during his time in office. Under Clinton those who attacked us (first trade center bombing) and Oklahoma city bombing, were both rounded up and put in jail (and executed). On the other hand, Bush went into Iraq to look for WMD and let OBL drift away.

What??  Are you fucking stupid??  Zero AFTER the worst disaster in US History?!?  That's the most absurd argument I ever heard?!  THAT is what his and Dick Cheney's legacy is.  I swear if it occurred when a Democrat was President we'd never have another Democratic President for 50 years.  But when it's a Republican all we hear right away is "Obama's gotta get outta there.  He's soft!"

Republicans are fucking stupid.

It was only 3000+ in NYC dude...calm down. Besides, it was Clinton's fault, not the terrorists.

Our courts don't work that quickly, so I'm not sure what your point is.

There are already lawsuits being filed. But many law scholars are saying it is, as well as members from both sides of the aisle (And Mike Pence himself not long ago.)
