Funny how despite the Trump literally being Hitler (because of a law preventing children from being in the same facilities as adults), you still have thousands of people desperately trying to get in. I bet Nazi Germany didn't have the problem of having Jews from all around the world begging to get into their country. Why don't they just go to Canada where, upon illegal entry they will get instant citizenship and a pledge by Justin Trudeau to personally perform any sexual favours if and when needed?

Read a book. The mind you broaden could be your own.

EDIT: Do those sexual favours include golden showers or some light bdsm with a rolled-up Forbes magazine?

The irony of liberals targeting females working for Trump for harassment. Sarah Saunders, Kirstjen Nielson, Betsy DeVos and those merely linked with him like Pam Bondi....

Then there is their sick obsession with Trump's son Barron.

Actor Peter Fonda delivered a profane Twitter rant against President Trump’s immigration policies Wednesday morning, saying the president’s 12-year-old son Barron should be taken from his mother and placed in a “cage with pedophiles.”

Mr. Fonda, the younger brother of actress and liberal activist Jane Fonda, was responding to Tuesday’s joint White House press briefing with Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Homeland Security Secretary Kristjen Nielsen. In a now-deleted tweet, the “Easy Rider” star said Ms. Nielson should be put in a cage naked and “whipped by passersby while being filmed.”

In subsequent tweets that have also since been deleted, Mr. Fonda said Ms. Sanders’ children should be taken away and the president’s youngest son should be stripped from first lady Melania Trump and put in a cage with pedophiles.

“We should rip Barron Trump from his mother’s arms and put him in a cage with pedophiles and see if his mother will stand up against the giant a—hole she is married to,” he wrote in all caps.

He also encouraged followers to dig up the names of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, “surround their homes” in protest and harass their children at school.

Actor Tom Arnold jumped to Twitter to claim that he intends to show up at 12-year-old Barron Trump’s New York school and harass the child to protest President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

In his June 19 tweet, Arnold claimed that he wanted to go to the school because he thought he might see First Lady Melania Trump there with Barron.

:crylaugh:

Bondi has been criticized for election fundraising activities, including questions raised about contributions from Donald Trump and his associates.[11] The Florida Attorney General's office received at least 22 fraud complaints about Trump University. In 2013 a spokesperson for Bondi announced her office was considering joining a lawsuit initiated by New York's Attorney General against Trump regarding tax fraud.[12][13] Four days later 'And Justice for All', a PAC that supported Bondi's re-election campaign received a $25,000 donation from the Donald J. Trump Foundation, after which Bondi declined to join the lawsuit against Trump University. According to a Bondi spokesman, Bondi personally solicited the donation from Trump several weeks before her office announced it was considering joining the lawsuit against him.

People of the part of small government, right here :whistling: Calling a time they can suppress voters 'a great day'

It's so wonderful to see them finally becoming the people they've always threatened to be against.

Nobody qeustions that the major flaw in democracy is mob rule. That's why we have the need to protect minorities. Something simple like an test you have to pass before you can vote can potentially fix the problems with democracy.

Alan has a lot of blind spots. He just pretends that everything is OK when it's a Republican in charge.

Fascists are known for suppressing dissenting views or opinions ... you know, like refusing to serve someone in a restaurant because you happen to disagree with their views ... irony much?

Yea, no. Look up "the paradox of tolerance."

So I can count on your support when I call B.S on:
White privilege.
The patriarchy.
Affirmative action.
Slavery reparations.
etc?

All of those things are predicated on discriminating against people based on a facet of themselves that is not a choice. Oh wait never mind, since it is a government policy, it must be morally good right?

As I said there is an inconsistency. If someone doesn't want to support Google because of their diversity policies should the government force that person to purchase a subscription if the company wants them to?

Your list of "SJW talking points" are all valid aspects of history that the culture is in the process of trending away from, not sure how this pertains to gay wedding cakes?

I can see myself agreeing with you that there is some highly nuanced double standard at play but you'll have to make the case better than this.

Bear in mind that the morality of those government policies is rooted in previous/current affronts to morality, hence "reparations" and not "I hate gays."

It's not the same.

You should try to veer away from whataboutism. I have seen you make plenty of very good points on this forum without falling into that trap.

5th and 14th amendments. Two Supreme Court cases to back it up. I’m on my phone now but will track them down for you when I’m back at my desk.

Thanks! Cerbius hooked me up with on of your earlier posts.

How the hell do you know the US constitution so well?
