Isn’t he just gonna claim that was someone else they put in prison?

Trump really is crazy.

EDIT: For the non-Filipinos reading this, Marcos family is the most hated family in the Philippines. So much so that when the late Ferdinand died, he was in Hawaii, exiled. The government refused to let his body be returned for four years. After that they didn’t let his body be buried until 2016. People protested his burial. To think anyone would believe the Marcos family is respected, indeed qualifies a a symptom of being crazy.

EDIT 2: I once had to explain why Confederate statues represented an offensive part of U.S. history to my immigrant grandmother by comparing them to a hypothetical status of Marcos being erected in her hometown.

I hate to say it, but couldn’t someone turn around and pass a bill making any action against Israel as antisemitism?

Then he shouldn’t have picked her for that job.

Sadly this is not.

Gabbard in my opinion is not a stable person. A co-worker once tried to convince me that she should have been elected. I know this person was crazy because they watched RT.

Sure… you keep telling yourself that.

And if you don’t believe the probability that occured… he admitted on daytime television that he was attracted to his own daughter!

Correction: At least you can read it.

Why must it be the Nazi who are supporting Israel?

Now that gets into Brave New World territory. They didn’t make it illegal (at least that I recall)… but it was a taboo to be part of a family. Some point in British society started using eugenics to create humans. Sexual promiscuity was expected among women (they hinted that monogamy was also taboo) but becoming a parent was no go.

EDIT: I wouldn’t recommend Brave New World. Huxley falls in line with contemporary beliefs about indigenous Americans that is downright racist today.

The mere idea that anyone has to perform a medical procedure on a pregnant woman relating to the pregnancy and hesitates, proves that the law is the issue.

Someone will undoubtedly try to get a bill passed somewhere that starts labeling any removal of a fetus from a woman as abortion when the medical community is telling you that is not the case. These anti-abortion supporters want woman to get pregnant and stay pregnant. They don’t care if you have medical complications that lead to death. To think they care is just a lost cause.

Legislators in California are introducing bills that would make that illegal.

This is the exact bullshit we could brand someone that follows Islamist ideology with.

The major difference: Islamist groups purposely (as I recall learning in a college level North American religions course taught me) twist actual Islamic ideology while the Christian Right just doesn’t understand the religious text they claim to follow.

EDIT: Going to Trump rallies could be equated as the Christian Right version of terrorist training camps.

EDIT 2: My point about describing someone who assassinated people as “religious”, will place a false connotation on a group. It either paints the killer as misguided or followers of that religious faith as bad people. This is what happened with 9/11.

Wow, this is exactly what someone who 1. doesn’t practice real Evangelical Christianity would say 2. would believe not having studied the most basic of United States history.

The separation of Church and State is exactly that. The Colonist came to North American because they didn’t like how the Church of England was being operated. In practice they might not have wanted other religious groups to have such freedom but if you try to take the Bill of Rights and Constitution at face value, then you as a person in the United States government have no reason to judge them for being a non-Christian. Much like how I much challenge you to prove you belong to a well regulated militia when you own a gun.

I’m sure we are wanting this for very different reasons.

I know FIFA is corrupt but does anyone not see how dangerous traveling to the United States currently is?

Might as well blame the British for this fuck fest. They started this.

Harvard is still 100% in the wrong here. Treating all speech critical of the Israeli state as antisemitism is not the same as hatred for the Jewish people.

Like I said, just 1%. I should have said it wouldn’t be good if CPB grants stopped coming. I’m just more upset that the direct line of attack misunderstands what is really happening. These organizations are very important. To blatantly say Congress funds them isn’t just incorrect but potentially harmful to how other organizations that rely on outside money are treated.

Off the top of my head I don’t know if PBS (likely the same as NPR) but NPR is not funded by fucking Congress!!! You fucking idiots don’t know what Congress does or does not fund. NPR gets grants from CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting) which was created by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, which LBJ signed into law. CPB only accounts for 1% of NPR’s annual budget.

If the dumbass wants something legitimate to complain about, then complain about what CPB gives grants for.

EDIT: I realize the article mentions CPB, and I clearly wrote this before reading it. My point stands. Congress does not allocate any money directly to either NPR or PBS. If these cultural institutions are going to be attacked by clueless people, someone better be explaining what they got wrong.
