We Need To Talk About Donald

[Forty Two]

I was asking who he was talking about. He used the word.

Donnie's words come back to bite him on the arse re: his Muslim ban.

http://secondnexus.com/politics-and-eco ... d5f3e08d7d

We all know this is a Muslim ban. It was promised on the campaign trail and promoted as such before the election, and it's apparent national security justification is seriously undermined by the fact that the number of domestic terrorist attack by immigrants or visitors from the nominated states is exactly zero. This leaves that justification hanging on the assumption that Muslims are inherently terroristic, which further pushes the order into the territory of a religious ban - thus contravening the establishment clause of the constitution.

Some are arguing that the President's obligation to the constitution only applies to domestic policy that effects citizens - not visitors or immigrants who haven't gained citizenship. This is a silly argument.

I remember that Coito fellow used to be a centralist just left of centre. The image is gone but I remembered this one specifically because he was on the exact same part of the compass as me. He didn't identify as a right-winger.

Don't know why I'm mentioning this. I miss that fella, I guess.

I just took the test again. Seems I've drifted slightly to the right in the last 4 years.

What's so fucking hilarious (not) about all this, is that we've all had this same fucking argument with you before (before your dishonest bait-switch scam from CES to 42). You really are fucking clueless, and your utter shamelessness at refusing to admit that you are constantly wrong is embarrassment off the scale.

LOL - this is your example?

I thought "The US under Bush and now continued and extended by Obama is fast approaching a fascistic police state." is a pretty damning statement about Obama.

Your posts in that thread are not criticisms in and of themselves, merely commentary asserting that there are criticisms being leveled out there

Now I wonder how many posts you read. Kindly scroll up about seven or so of them.

Trump's fossil interest shill administration cut four Earth science projects including DSCOVR. So what? You just gonna let this satellite rot in space after all that effort?

To reiterate; this is the most disgustingly corrupt and dangerous corporate and energy government the US has ever seen. People aren't merely being hysterical when they say that these guys need to be moved, fast, before they cause irreparable harm. How much further can these immoral rich people push the poor and destroy health and lives before something gives?

If you don't like what the data shows, just get rid of the data. Easy.

I'm really hoping NASA strike. They can't just abandon expensive and important research like that. Trump, Bannon, and Tillerson have a lot to answer for. If they're not all behind bars in a few years I'm quitting life.

Shoody, unregulated, stem cell trial leads to 3 women going blind.

More of this to come as the FDA gets less funding and more deregulation leads to more people put at risk from avaricious pharmaceutical companies. This is why we can't simply "let the market decide'.

[Forty Two]

The article was published today, but the procedures were done a year or two ago. So, if any administration is to blame for these women going to a clinic they found offering an unregulated clinical trial which they found on opentrials.gov which disclosed that it was unregulated, then it's the Obama administration. Right?

Or was the Obama administration ok but now that Trump is in there it's a problem?

Trump's idiotic budget will cripple America's leading role in science and tech.

Not to mention the immigrant brains they're missing out on.

Oh well. They had their time in the Sun. China and India are forging on, set to become the World's leading energy superpower in renewables while the US pedals backwards putting their chips into dying technology. Europe, except the UK, maybe even only England at this stage, are starting to look East now.

That can't be right. Surely the upper right quadrant shouldn't exist?

He's a fucking moron.

Why wait?
