    The asshole Republicans are falling over themselves issuing statements condemning Trump. "He should be disqualified"...."This is not what America is about".....they're showing their true colors. At the same time they're comdemning Trump, they're talking about tightening regulations on visas ect to "people" from certain countries....lmao. Trump, not being a "politician" did leave himself open by not spelling it out for the immature jackals although he did say "until we find out what the hell is going on". And the assholes in the media and Republican party still fail to emphasize how these refugees and would be visitors/immigrants are NOT American citizens...they aren't QUITE entitled- and when we talk about RELIGIOUS persecution, it's Christians from Islamic countries who are being "rounded up" and singled out for extermination.
    And when the hell is some high profile talking head from mainstream network media and national Republicans going to mention this? Christians are literally being enslaved, uprooted and exterminated by Muslims and all we keep hearing from our President, the media and the rest of the Presidential candidate field is how we must be careful not to have a backlash against Muslims in our country....there is no wide epidemic or mass "backlash" by Americans towards Muslims in America - actually there still is 4-5 times more bias related incidents against Jews in American than Muslims....and worldwide it isn't even close-- when are OUR leaders going to speak up, condemn and make it known to THE WORLD that Christians in the name of Islam are being intentionally singled out, being killed and driven out of their homes and homeland throughout the world by Muslims!
    We even had a mass shooting in Oregon where the shooter specifically asked if any were christians and shot them after they said "yes" - and our President didn't mention it. Coincidence?
    Our "leaders" appear to be leading us to eventual capitulation- they should stand up and make it known and understood that the United States will continue to embrace judeo-christian principles and values, before the "numbers" grow too large and it's TOO LATE to turn back the tide.
    And why isn't it mentioned by our same leaders during THESE times that "Islam" (Sharia) is not only a religion, it's the foundation for the form of Government practiced in Muslim dominated Nations.
    These are the population pools our country welcomes with open arms?

    Outstanding!

    I just saw Hannity kinda nail Rubio regarding Trump's statement wanting to halt all immigration from Muslims into this country "until we figure out what the hell is going on".

    Rubio was going on with the usual PC crap about it being unconstitutional to halt immigration from Muslims (or any other people of a certain religion) into this country.

    When he was (thankfully) pressed on that issue and told it wasn't unconstitutional for this country to deny foreigners entry into this country due to religion. There isn't anything in the Constitution which says you cannot deny potential immigrants ect, based on religion.
    When pressed on that point, Rubio said: "no, there isn't anything in the constitution about it".

    Proof of religious persecution? YES! Those people could have a case.
    And that's where the President and our national leaders need to speak out about the intended and intentional persecution and mass murder of Christians throughout the world being done by Islamists.

    When are the magic questions going to be asked of our president and national Democrats:
    Why aren't Christians from Islamic countries who are being slaughtered and uprooted because of THEIR religion being recognized and placed ahead of other "refugees" who are NOT the victims of religious persecution?
    And- which Muslim countries are accepting Christian refugees...and how
    many of them are they "accepting".

    Let's stop the fucking charade.
    Those questions should be asked early and often...on TV!

    The sooner this country gets a grip on the dangers of having millions of immigrants and eventual citizens who grew up under and prefer Sharia Law, the sooner this country will be capable and have the will to stem the tide and safeguard our Western democratic free way of life.

    This "religion" is more than a "religion"- it's a way of life and GOVERNMENT LAW in Muslim dominated nations!

    He might be the worst President of my lifetime to this point.
    His "misery index" (inflation+ unemployment) was terrible and he was the president on watch when this "modern" world wide explosion of Islamic terrorism began ....444 days of humiliation and the Ayatollah was reigning supreme! Also took a couple of decades and many billions of dollars to repair the damage he did to this country with the Russians and elsewhere.

    Yeah, he was a Navy man, and where is it written in stone that a person who served in the military cannot one day become an asshole and a lousy President with losing policies?

    John Kerry? Oh yeah - he's one of America's best statesman!

    Related fact in case you are curious: the misery index is today the lowest it has been since Eisenhower was president.

    Immigration to US should be for aspiring Americans only. You can't prove your intent to assimilate - you don't get in, period.

    My ancestors that went through Ellis Island had to be sponsored, agreed to learn English, and would be deported for financial instability as they weren't eligible for public assistance of any kind.

    Welcome to America, get your Yankee ballcap right here.

    Yep, I believe at a 59 year low.
    I was commenting on a President (JIMMY CARTER) who was -imo- the worst President of my lifetime.

    HE was the one who included it as a campaign issue when he was running against Ford.
    When Ford's term ended (1974-76) it was 12.66 ~
    When Carter left office it was 19.72~ lol



    While the "misery index" is at it's lowest in 59(?) years, young people are doing poorly in the "Youth Misery Index" inder Obama:
    At no point in recent history has life been harder for America’s young people.
    The Youth Misery Index adds together youth unemployment, average graduating student debt and national debt per capita.

    Average graduating student debt has reached a record-breaking $30,000. National debt per capita is $58,400—the highest ever.
    Add it up, and the Youth Misery Index comes out to 106.5 (18.1 + 30.0 + 58.4 = 106.5).
    The YMI uncovers some real threats to our nation’s prosperity. The government is largely responsible for all three problems.
    Each indicator can be tied to government actions.
