Catalina | When the President suggests he might have to "close the country completely" to sort out the immigration problems..? |
Catalina | No one wants to contemplate this? |

No. :/ I also don't want to hear rump supporter's excuses for him asking if he should take away privileges from the media. |
jwhop | "No. :/ I also don't want to hear rump supporter's excuses for him asking if he should take away privileges from the media." Well, well, well. You've used the right word...privileges. Privileges are earned. They are not a right. This is the worst press in US history. They have not earned the privilege of entering the White House for Daily Briefings. The President has a lot more patience than I do. The first time I heard a press moron arguing with, deriding or harassing my press secretary, I would have lifted their credentials and banished them from the White House.

Yep, just what I'm not going to pay attention to. You wanted to install a dictator. |
jwhop | "Yep, just what I'm not going to pay attention to. You wanted to install a dictator." We already had a little Marxist dictator. Obama contravened American law, the US Constitution and bypassed Congress with his "one man rule"...and his phone and pen. I didn't hear any whizzing and moaning from you then! Trump is straightening out the multiple messes your little tin horn dictator made and doing a bang up job of returning America to Constitutional governance. |
Randall | I'd revoke the press pass for anyone who writes something false. |

How about doing the same for the president who lies all the time. Rump himself. Revoke his twitter access, for a start. |
Catalina | Fox famously defended itself against fake news accusations by pointing out there is nothing in the law to force News purveyors to tell the truth. Meanwhile DT has suggested "closing the country".. meaning what? Come on Trumpeters. We've dispensed with the first amendment how about a good spin on this... who is it that is so fond of saying the Berlin wall was to keep people in not out? And that DT's wall was for the opposite? Are you sure?
|
jwhop | "the Berlin wall was to keep people in not out? And that DT's wall was for the opposite? Are you sure?" I'm pretty sure President Trump wouldn't object to any or all leftist lunatics exiting the United States. So, we can dispense with the nonsense that the Southern Border Wall is to keep citizens in...the United States. |

Catalina | No wall has only one side guys. Thanks for sharing your little snarks with us all. Now answer the question? What does closing down the country mean in your estimable opinions? |
Catalina | And how do the constitutionalists swallow the suggestion from their fearless leader that not standing for the flag could be grounds for deporting citizens? http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-says-nfl-players-who-kneel-during-national-anthem-maybe-n876996 |

I heard what Trump said about people who won't stand for the National Anthem perhaps shouldn't be here. I agree with the President. All America haters should leave America now! But, I never heard Trump say a thing about deporting those who refuse to stand for the National Anthem. If you did, feel free to post his quote...from a credible source...right here. |
Randall | Oh, the difference a word makes...but it's okay to misquote what was said--as long as it "feels" right to a liberal, then it must be true! |
Catalina | Actually I supplied the quote for you which suggests its not enough to ban them from the field if they don't want to stand.. and on another thread i asked whether deportation was being suggested OR NOT.. what's in a word indeed. Since when should people who criticize this country's actions go elsewhere? Since when do you get to decide who is an America hater? You seem to have little regard for its laws or constitutional protections of dissent. Many would call you the America haters. It is against the law to force people to stand for anthem or flag, or penalize them either.. but that doesn't stop the WH resident suggesting it and doing his best to turn public opinion that way. If the president can't uphold people's constitutional rights - and observe the independence of the branches of government... maybe he should leave the job 😉 |
Catalina | the oath sworn by FBI members is nonetheless to uphold the Constitution.. not the President..Against all who would undermine it.. including those within theGovt. http://peacepink.ning.com/m/blogpost?id=2351430%3ABlogPost%3A242230 |
jwhop | "It is against the law to force people to stand for anthem or flag, or penalize them either..." It's not against the law for corporations to lay down strict rules of behavior for employees....on the job. But, according to leftist lunatics, a receptionist who answered the phone...'Hello, Acme Bottle and Brush, the worst place to work and the worst products in America' couldn't be fired for expressing her 1st Amendment opinions while on the job...even if her comments drove customers to other suppliers. Leftist lunatic ideas are just bloviating silliness. |

Catalina | Totally off track. The players are protesting national policy, not slagging off their employers. Their contracts obviously do NOT require standing for the anthem or they would be subject to penalties and/or firing. The fact that any action has been taken is in response to the Bigmouth in chief making a song and dance about it And Anyone who says football has suffered financially from these protests should note that Fox recently cancelled several very successful series to make way for.. more football.
|
jwhop | No one ever thought a bunch of America hating overpaid, coddled football players would show disrespect for symbols of America. That's why it wasn't in their contracts. Just when you think America hating leftist lunatics can't get any lower, they prove you wrong. One more thing. These airhead football players are protesting on company time, on the owners property, in the owner's uniforms, before an audience in the owner's stadium. Neither they, nor you have a leg to stand on with your nonsense arguments. Now, some of these crash dummy nuts want to get 25% of NFL players to sit out the 2018 season....as a protest. I sure as hell hope they do. Lose their paychecks, get their contracts voided, get banned from the NFL and take their cardboard boxes down on the corner and protest till their America hating little hearts are content. |
Randall | These entitled crybabies can protest on their own time. And you have it backwards; they ARE protesting due to not liking President Trump. |
