I agree that NATO needs a reforms, but I'm falling to see how NATO is needed to fight with terrorism. For Europe direct danger exist within local communities, and I don't see how Leopard tanks are usable in European city, that's a job for police. From the other hands sending an army to Muslims countries is pointless now, because then they simply stop killing each other and start killing helpers. And Turkey needs to be kicked out of NATO soon.

Saudi Arabia is not war torn, so it won't have refugees, nor have Americans been fighting people within its borders recently. Last time that happened was 1991 when US, Saudi, and other allied forces were fighting Iraq.
That is were the logic end. That Saudi natives have been terrorists and supporters of attacks against US and allied forces is not part of the equation it would seem.

Some in people in Canada try to draw parallels between a man named Kevin O'Leary and Donald Trump, but O'Leary's platform is extremely boring in itself. Furthermore, there is one reality that is unique to Canada and not very favorable to conservative candidates of a certain kind: French-speaking Quebec and its own socio-political reality. In the race for the Conservative leadership, O'Leary announced his run after avoiding the only French language debate organized by the party. Considering that Quebec leans quite on the left of the spectrum for starters, having that language "handicap" as well is not a good starting point. That's not say that Atlantic provinces and a big chunk of Ontario share similar sociopolitical values with Quebec. Having mentioned that, it is hardly a good breeding ground for a more radicalized version of right-wing values even if populists infiltrate the Conservative party.

Every time I feel like "y'know what? It's 2017. We've come a long way in our human history", shit like this happens and I'm reminded of how our species is just a litany of savagery with moments of peace sprinkled throughout. "Religion and Government are intertwined"; tell me guys, what would Jesus do? Would Jesus enable bombing the Holy shit out of a region and then stop them from trying to escape? Would Jesus try to make sure the sick aren't taken care of? Tell me conservatives: why weren't you against Trump when Hillary is the quintessential Republican? You realize this is actively going backwards, right? Tell me, Democratic hacks; was it worth it defending a system that bred a monster like this? Was it worth it not calling Hillary the lesser of two evils?

The American people did not elect Trump, the EC did. That's why he won't shut up about it, it's a huge blow to his ego. But it's definitely true that infighting in the Left and Jill Stein helped unintentonally make easier to put him in WH. Let's not even pretend Hilary would have anywhere the same, whatever some minute grievances you might have had with her, she is at least humane. For that matter people like Trump and Bannon have alway been around and they got 8n when they started getting a voice thanks to decades of conversative garbage from FOX and Repubs turn on their own beliefs becauae they now fear the fringe part of they base that has now near competely eroded their voting base.

And no, I don't care that America is a republic and not a democracy. That doesn't work with me either. Own it, own the choice of the people. Until you do, there will be other Trumps.

This isn't a matter of morality or principles. This is a matter of Americans believing that they are not part of their government. That somehow, Clinton needed to "earn" their vote for her, because Americans believe it doesn't matter if Trump won. Because both Left and Right of America believe government can't really be useful for anything. Because Americans don't actually believe in elections.

I can't help but feel that part of the reason Trump ultimately and fairly won (your government using a EC system.. plan accordingly folks ) was because the Left did two separate but interconnected things.
A) Demonize people at the drop of a hat rather than discuss issues like a sane person- agreeing to disagree is not a naughty idea and being pro-life/fracking/border control doesn't make you Hitler. B) Turn on the media venom to 200% all the time on his every action. Constantly saying someone is pure evil 24/7 in every action just tend to leave people numb to your words and distrustful of your 'facts'. Seriously I'm sure if I hunted Goggle hard enough, I be able to find article trying to prove that Trumps favorite song/food/animal is a sign that he in fact Hitler reborn... and it probably be a mainstream news site sadly. Put these two together and you get big enough portion of the USA population feeling alienated (Since your sure to demonize them on something sooner or latter) and distrustful of the media, that they just concluded Trumps is in exactly the same boat as them and the best choice to fix things. |

Once again Trump is bypassing normal procedures and behaving like an autocratic.
The Homeland Security & the Department of Justice we not notifled of these EOs. He's further pissing off goverment officials. https://mobile.twitter.com/BraddJaff...45791905021952 https://mobile.twitter.com/JohnJHarw...44703516651523 This is REALLY scary. Quote:
