so far Trump is doing what he said

There is a faction of the population which, for all their talk about not being "sheeple," can be lead around by the nose by emotional stories which fit their narrative.

Well, to be fair, they mainly call other people "sheeple."

I don't seem to recall them denying that they are sheeple too.

Politics of fear. It's Trumps biggest asset (his "trump card" if you will )

The simple fact that there have been zero attacks from anyone admitted as a refugee seems lost on those idiots.

Not to mention, how much more "extreme" does the vetting have to get? Is 2-4 years not enough time to get a good read on a refugee?

In other words, you can't just decide to make a new rule because "the majority" wants it, if it oppresses or excludes the minority.

Unfortunately, as long as it doesn't specifically break the law I think they can. And pandering to the majority is a great way of staying in power...

Trump has made his career on pushing stuff right to the bending point of the law or beyond it and then bullying his way past any reprisals. Why anyone expects him to do anything differently now he has the ultimate power is beyond me.

FOOL. Its just all part /art of the deal. Its like trump university. Deny,deny,deny then pay and settle out of court. BUT the game has changed.

The republican leadership and executive has been rendered to deer in the headlights of a BNSF train. They see whats coming, they know what could happen. They can't throw trump under the bus..yet. For now, the band is still playing in the dining room. The sea is flooding the lower two decks. The passengers are still more or less calm. The champagne can still flow for a while yet.

Some republicans are getting nervous. Some have toned down their support for trump by remaining quiet. Like the trump supporters in these forums! They don't see the fatal combination of bannon's ideas on a trump personality. Others might. But as long as bannon has trumps ear. The writing is on the wall. Like church mice. They will come out at night, sniff around and see how the wind blows.

They are intimidated by what trump did to Kasich, Cruz, Rubio, Bush, etc. Besides, in politics you wait for the noose to get tight before the knives come out. Before the trap door is opened.

I used fool in jest of course. Courts, courts, clearly you missed yesterday's news. trump's apprentice has been anointed the chosen one to take care of those small details, like courts.

Oh good lord, you've got to be fucking kidding me. How cynical is Trump to do something like this when we know that he personally isn't the slightest bit religious?

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

[Stumpy 256]

I suppose its a mercy that it's higher education he's looking at. By that sort of age, the religion thing is more or less established one way or the other, and I suspect universities won't take much shit from someone wanting to push ID, or whatever other cult nonsense.

Given that Jerry Jr. has the reins at Liberty U, maybe he just wants prayer meetings required on all schools.
I'm sure there is no risk of conflict of interest either.


Since we're discussing Trump "doing what he said", anyone care to recall his comments on nukes and his itchy trigger finger to "bomb the shit out of them"?

Wow; what an insightful commentary on the substance of the editorial. Point by point, you demolished him.

At least that's how sniggering Trumpies (or is it Trumpeters?) probably see it.

A "couple weeks"? I'm chuckling

This crap will go on for a LOT longer than that. It might just be SOP for the beyond-forseeable future. just switching sides again and again....ad nauseum

it's been SOP, it's just the volume has been turned up to 11

Yes, god forbid people get an education and have an opinion. Much better to stay stupid and believe what Trump is saying. Makes life so much simpler.

It is also a great setup for the inevitable excuse after the fact: Sorry, I was simply too stupid to understand what was going on and just followed orders.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head there. The undereducated are why Trump is popular.
