Why you should fear Trump/Nationalism and what's happening

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Fox News just apologized and condemned a segment of a Lou Dobbs show which should be obvious as to why:
https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/28/media/lou-dobbs-fox-news-guest/index.html'Notice 
Dobbs hasn't apologized or commented on it or his BS claims of fake news and fake bombs, either. Anybody hear anything from Fox's Geraldo Rivera for claiming the same on the latter?

Is that an untruth?

You say it is obvious as to why.  So explain to me what is obvious?  I see nothing wrong with what Farrell said.  

Because a Fox News bigwig thinks that is something inappropriate, Farrell is supposed to bow down and kiss his feet and apologize

Apparently the implication is that Farrell made an anti-semitic remark?  

What was it?  Where was the anti-semitism?    
Richard,
I think you should go on the Lou Dobbs show and say the same thing so Fox News will condemn you as well...

Speaking of whacko's dominating the news, Fox News and their use of the word "invader(s)" may have inspired the shooter:

Today, a Fox News commentator falsely claimed the "invaders" carry small pox, a deadly disease that has been eradicated many years ago. 
The CONS just keep serving it up...

How could anyone support this guy (besides White Supremists/Nazi's)?

And he retweeted an anti-immigration message from a prominent Nazi sympathizer who has described himself as an admirer of Hitler). What a guy to support.

Had you actually read the article (and done any in depth research about Rep. King) you may have learned that even for most Republicans, he's too much. He is unabashedly a racist and aligns himself with hate groups run by white supremacists.

If the topic subject offended you, then you must align yourself the same, since pretty much the question was, how could anyone but a white supremist or nazi support him? I'd really like to know the answer. Please enlighten me.

As for Trump, the only thing I can see he's accomplished is dividing the country with his rhetoric and emboldened right wing extremists. That about it. He's not a racist, though, that much I agree. He just pretends to be to get the base pumped up, which is pretty much 99.9% white.

I would be interested to know exactly what he's accomplished in your opinion? Opening up more land so it can be fracked to death? Easing pollution requirements for the oil industry? Taking away pre-existing conditions by gutting the ACA? Yeah, I'd guess you'd be ok with all of those.

But then again, you're not paying attention. It seems to me, to much of anything.
And Greg is the same guy who says he can't even offer an opinion of whether or not he agrees with Trump's statement that George W bush's invasion of Iraq was the biggest mistake ever made because he doesn't know enough about it. But here he is shooting his mouth off on content that he's never read. Figures...

Birthright Citizenship

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Here's what I consider to be reality on the problem and on the solution.
First, this business of babies being born in America for citizenship is just that: a business. And by that I mean we are allowing birthright baby-bearing tourism to occur in this country. Dedicated hotels and properties, some of which are owned by Trump, are used as birthing centers, principally by Russian and Chienese families who enter the country on tourist visas. The baby is born in one of these birthing centers and automatically becomes a US citizen.
The solution here is either an executive order or congressional legislation restricting the issuance of visas to pregnant women who are near term which would be obvious in most cases to customs agents at international airports. 
That's where a growing and substantial problem really exists and even Trump could probably get bi-partisan support to stop it if he wanted to do it.

Yeah, but maybe he's tweaked a bit for some extra zip! And with Trump in office, he'd cover them with an executive order or clemency anyway...

Maybe there could even be an interfaith target practice on the WH lawn.

Lock and load! And you're the one who calls the AR-15 .223  round a glorified .22 and you tell me I don't have a clue?
"The bullet from an AR-15 does an entirely different kind of violence to the human body. It’s relatively small, but it leaves the muzzle at three times the speed of a handgun bullet. It has so much energy that it can disintegrate three inches of leg bone. “It would just turn it to dust,” says Donald Jenkins, a trauma surgeon at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. If it hits the liver, “the liver looks like a jello mold that’s been dropped on the floor.” And the exit wound can be a nasty, jagged hole the size of an orange."
I guess that's your idea of a gutsier .22...

Why not just make it auto with a third fire control mode?

Practically speaking, how much more auto can you get and still control it?
