    What's more important here is that Trump hung up on Australia's PM. He's also recently threatened the Mexican President that he'd send troops into Mexico.

    He's deranged.

    My blood is German and English too. :D

    But we do agree. THat is what a nation is right?

    I thought about what you wrote in your other post. I guess there is nothing wrong with your views in theory. I have the right to shoot a Muslim who trespasses on my property. But the problem is what if its hundreds of muslims or a muslim mob? I don't want to shoot anybody and then get in trouble with liberal law enforcement. That is what the government is for. To protect us.

    Its so strange. Hispanics/Latinos are white when its convenient for white supremacists but then when you talk about America becoming a Hispanic majority country, suddenly, they aren't white anymore.

    So weird.

    Europeans are suffering because they've gutted their security apparatuses for decades and are finding they don't have the manpower or the capability to run robust intelligence gathering operations against potential threats.

    No. Thats semantics. I don't give a damn if the majority of Americans are from Spain, but I do care if they are mestizos or pure Amerindian. Most Hispanics are non-white or mixed with Indians.

    And again, I guess I technically have Hispanic ancestors as I have Spanish and Roman blood. Many Americans are have mediterreanean ancestors. They are Aryans.

    All we need to do is ban the Muslims. We don't need a huge intelligence agency if their population is small.

    So the government should be in the business of violating freedom of religion?

    Wait wait wait.

    You argued when Russia invaded Crimea we shouldn't have done anything, even though Bill Clinton signed the Budapest memorandum stating we would be there in their defense if they gave us their nuclear arms.

    Why the sudden hypocrisy?

    The conservatives in Australia are the ones most opposed to allowing in refugees. These are the same people who prevented the government from even recognizing the aborigines as human until just a few decades again.

    In the meantime, about 1250 refugees are still held in appalling conditions on a couple of islands in the Pacific where some have been for years - lots of blame to go around for this monstrosity. A petulant and childish phone call by a man-child moronic buffoon of a president to the PM of a staunch ally really doesn't help anything or anyone. China must be thrilled with this news......

    VOA has done a good job allowing Trump to defend his position in detail.

    The 1200 are asylum seekers... and goes into extreme vetting.

    http://www.voanews.com/a/refugees-under-us-australia-deal-will-face-extreme-vetting/3701316.html

    excerpt:

    The bulk of the refugees involved in the agreement with Australia are from Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran.

    In addition to suspending refugee admissions for 120 days, and indefinitely for Syrian refugees, Trump's order also bans entry for 90 days to anyone from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Somalia and Sudan.

    Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said Tuesday the listed countries lack the kind of law enforcement and record keeping necessary to convincingly describe the backgrounds of their citizens, and that the U.S. will be working with them and other nations to "tighten up on their procedures."

    "I would be less than honest if I told you that some of those countries that are currently on the list may not be taken off the list anytime soon. They're countries that are in various states of collapse, as an example, but, ultimately we'd like to see all those countries taken off the list."

    The first time I ever quoted you was after Russia invaded the Ukraine,

    You said we shouldn't do anything about it, even though we had a deal with them saying we would be there in their defense if they gave us their nuclear arms.

    Why the sudden hypocrisy? You had no problem breaking that deal, but you have a problem with this one?

    So no citation got you.. Anyone who opposes your beliefs seems to be a "White Supremacist" do you see the issue with that? Perhaps the issue is within.

    So Australia not wanting them is Trumps fault got you.

    to hell with obummer and the muslims, man. Now that the muslim in chief is gone, things are getting rapidly better, so why risk having further contamination of our society with a proven illogical, hateful group?

    He did not threaten to send troops in to Mexico. Here, just let the Mexicans tell you:

    https://www.google.com/amp/www.lati...o-trump-20170201-story,amp.html?client=safari

    "I know it with absolute certainty, there was no threat,” Peña Nieto spokesman Eduardo Sanchez said in a radio interview. “The things that have been said are nonsense and a downright lie."
