Do whitey stew and Co condemn or agree with the murders in the Quebec Mosque?

Yes it was terrible and wrong. Many of these mass killings (and ill put the Boston Bombing and Pulse nightclub in that list) are perpetrated by people with mental illness more so than truly motivated by "terrorism"

So all these liberal protestors are hysterical about

- Despicable treatment of women
- Human rights issues
- LBGTQ rights issues
- A totalitarian regime
- An unjust court system

and they are pissed at what they perceive as Muslim rights not being upheld? Educate yourselves for f**ks sake.

Your logic here seems to be taking in muslim refugees and allowing them to assimilate as hundreds of thousands of their co-religionists have done previously = supporting the implementation of sharia law.

Is that right?

You can do your own research and educate yourself of how this is gradually pushed on a host country. There are plenty of articles to google.

Why don't you just give us a few examples?

Where has sharia law been imposed on the west? Or even a serious attempt at imposition?

So you're unaware that parts of England are pretty much muslim only. Start there.

If you have facts, then list them.

Otherwise it's just baseless innuendo and scaremongering.

Theresa May has already indicated sharia law is in effect in britain. Sharia courts to settle divorces, domestics,  property issues etc. are in use.
You can stick your head in the sand if you like J70.

So what legal standing do the rulings of such courts have?

Are British laws being broken or ignored? How would this compare to, say, a catholic church marriage or annulment?

If some eejit DID get granted the right to commit an honour killing in one of these courts (assuming they grant such requests), does that serve as a murder defense in a crown prosecution?

"Educate yourself"

I get it now, fox is an Irish MMA fan. That explains the stupidity and somewhat prickly nature whilst still, dumbfoundingly, maintaining a smug self assurance.

Trump supporters on the internet often remind me of the way WWF wrestlers would act in those promo segments to camera in the early 1990s, where they would "call out" an opponent.

It's like they're trying desperately to put on a front and convince themselves that what they're saying is true while really knowing that the whole thing is an act, and complete bullshit.

You're dead right....Republicans are so stupid, they're going to get wiped out in 2018

Democrats are so much smarter....they're going to sweep the decks

You heard it here first

Money talks and the rich will keep getting richer taking our money. The Tories are already running the NHS into the ground until they pass the point of no return and then fleece it to the highest (contributer). The rich will have all the cash and the not so rich will fight for the rest leaving the poor and disadvantaged fuc.*ed.

Brexit and Trump are the same
The key thing is what happens when the public realise they have been shafted

http://www.salon.com/2017/01/19/donald-trump-will-adopt-heritage-foundations-skinny-budget-arts-violence-against-women-funding-to-be-cut/

At the Department of Justice, Trump's plan would eliminate programs that aim to prevent violence against women, encourage community-oriented policing, and provide legal aid to the indigent. The Heritage Foundation has called those programs a "misuse of federal resources and a distraction from concerns that are truly the province of the federal government."
Trump's transition team reportedly also wants to eliminate all funding for the Minority Business Development Agency, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, which offers grants to museums, educational institutes, researchers, and authors. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which distributes funding to nearly 1,500 locally owned public radio and TV stations would be privatized, according to the Hill. Three years ago, the NEH and NEA were pushed out of the Old Post Office in Washington, D.C. to make way for Trump's newest hotel.
At the Energy Department, Trump's plan would eliminate the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and Office of Fossil Energy, which develops technologies to reduce carbon emissions. The so-called skinny budget would also drastically reduce funding for the DOJ's Civil Rights and Environment and Natural Resources divisions.

The so called President called the judge that ruled such a "so called judge".

For a so called "law and order" candidate, he doesn't much like the law, does he?

While nobody claims that all the Trump voters were idiots, there's evidence that nearly all the idiots voted for Trump.

In a PPP poll released on 26 January:

-          While only 18% of voters overall think Trump's inauguration had the biggest crowd of, 34% of Trump voters do think he had the biggest crowd ever.

-          Only 29% of voters overall think that Trump's inauguration had a bigger crowd than the women's march. 59% of Trump voters believe that his inauguration had a bigger crowd than the women's march.

In a previous poll, released on 9 December:

-          67% of Trump voters say that unemployment increased during the Obama administration. (Reality - unemployment fell from 7.8% to 4.7% under Obama.)

-          Only 41% of Trump voters say that the stock market went up during the Obama administration. 39% say it went down. (Reality - the DJIA multiplied by 2.5 while Obama was in office.)

-          40% of Trump voters insist that he won the national popular vote. (Reality – Clinton's vote was almost 3 million more than Trump's.)

-          Only 54% of Trump voters expressly say they don't think Pizzagate is real. (Reality – well, what can one say?)

-          Only 53% of Trump voters think that California's votes should be allowed to count in the national popular vote. 29% don't think they should be allowed to count, and another 18% are unsure.

-          60% of Trump voters think that Hillary Clinton received millions of illegal votes to only 18% who disagree.

And my very favourite - 73% (that is not a misprint) of Trump voters think that George Soros is paying protesters against Trump to only 6% (yes, that's correct too) who think that's not true, and 21% who aren't sure one way or the other. And 48% of Trump voters think MOST of the people who protested at airports across the country last weekend were paid to do so by Soros.

A lot of Trump supporters are morons.....a lot aren't

Trump has become the voice of the white working class....as Bill Clinton described them "the people humping it 60 hours a week who's health care premiums have doubled and their coverage cut in half"

This "Muslim" ban is ingenious by Trump.....it does absolutely nothing for the Democrats in terms of winning back any of the voters they need in 2018 to keep the Senate seats that are up in Trump states.

Secondly, god forbid there is some type of terrorist attack Trump has a very long list of Democrats who can be painted as caring more about terrorists than about the safety of American citizens.  He has them completely painted into a corner

So its all about "optics" whitey? Let's paint a massive group as the enemy, just in case. Its a no-lose strategy.

Integrity and facts and morals be damned.

Exactly....it's a master stroke!  My go to political show is Morning Joe.  Joe called 15 Trump supporters he knows personally last weekend and they are estatic with the ban and Trumps overall performance



I said during the election that you would  have "brass knuckle" Republicans in charge if Trump Won....as opposed to Country Club Republicans. These motherfvckers will destroy anyone and anything who gets in the way of their agenda

So while the Democrats were focusing on the faux war against women and transgender bathrooms, Trump and his team pulled off an incredible end run.

Hillarys 3M popular vote victory means zero when it comes to 2018 which will be fought on a state by state basis.....and yet I still have FB and Twitter friends posting this $hite
