Great Week For Donald Trump

1) Passed a tax-bill that will kill 10's of thousands of Americans by letting them keep more of their own money. This will also reduce our carbon output and help reduce #globalwarming. Win-Win.

2) Dumped millions of acres of dusty desert on the Mormons. Now they have to keep it clean. Suckers.

3) Banned all Muslims from the USA.

#MAGA.

#MAGA.

And you're proud of state-sponsored racism ?
The worst is that this will mostly affect US families, dual citizens and foreign nationals (ie Canadian Iranians), than regular nationals from the designated countries - but you are too dumb to realize that you're shooting yourself in the foot.

There is zero benefit to this measure. You're so blind and so full of hate that you are stooping to the low level of terrorists and fanatics. I guess that's part of the plan, giving more ammo to your enemies. Fanatics rejoice, they can now claim the US hates Muslims because it is now official policy.
Yet the biggest terrorist is the US, that has killed more Muslims in the ME than all terror attacks combined, and consistently shown total disregard for human life. Logically we should enforce a travel ban on Americans.

It isn't "passed" yet. Still needs to reconcile with the house. Until that happens and it is finally signed, nobody can say for certain who this does and does not benefit.

Thanks to Collins for making some good amendments to the senate bill like re-adding the property tax deduction ( though it should have been re-added without the cap). That will probably stay since it was in the house version. And her attempts to stablize health care premiums despite removal of the individual mandate. But I think they sold her a bill of goods with their promises about Medicare and ssi.

Thankfully, I think they got rid of that stupid thing about opening a savings account for a fetus.

Do you really believe two other branches of Gov would let any President outsource the CIA or any intelligence agency?

"Deep state enemies" is the bullsh*t codeword for "whistleblowers."

Sarcasm. I was making fun of the left / #resistance hysterics claiming a travel ban from a few countries is a white supremacist plot to ban all Muslims.

There is zero benefit to this measure. You're so blind and so full of hate that you are stooping to the low level of terrorists and fanatics. I guess that's part of the plan, giving more ammo to your enemies. Fanatics rejoice, they can now claim the US hates Muslims because it is now official policy.

Right.. Thanks for proving my point.

Top secret plan to counter the deep state, they'll never see it coming.

Instead of using a loop-hole to transfer the saving account to the baby after birth.

Liberals really hate little babies.

In an astounding act of irony, Hitler Trump agrees to move Nazi USA embassy to Jerusalem, the capital of Israel.

In an astounding act of irony, Hitler Trump agrees to move Nazi USA embassy to Jerusalem, the capital of Israel.

It seems like a move all of our allies are warning against, suggest he doesn't do:

It's the capital of Israel. Israel isn't going away and our embassy should be there.

How to burn bridges.

Good job, you guys are building such a wonderful world.

You do understand how this is going to cause a lot of issues right? There is a reason all of our allies are against this, why do you think that is? Why does he have this need to stir shit up? We just want even more conflict?

If I had to live in the ME, I'd choose to live Israel. At least there, I and my Muslim friends wouldn't be punished for worshiping God the wrong way or not worshiping at all.

Yes. There will be lot of threats and maybe even a terrorist attack. Not moving the embassy wouldn't stop that. Iranian proxies will hate / attack Israel regardless.

It's going to amp all of that up. This move and he recent 3 anti-Muslim tweets. What is it do you think he's trying to accomplish? And again, why do you think all of our allies are against this move? You don't really think this is going to help anything, calm things down or more likely the opposite?

Take where we're at right now, call that X. Does this move help or hurt things? I can tell you how it can hurt, tell me how it can help.

 

[mr-x]

I think it helps us. We send a clear message, Israel isn't going away. Jordan, Egypt won't stop being Allies to Israel. Lebanon, Palistien and Syria won't stop being proxies of Iran.

Saudi's are too busy dealing with Iran and UAE to care, they need Israel now too.

Not moving the embassy does nothing.

Oh boy, Trump is going to have a meltdown when he sees this:

BREAKING NEWS: Russia barred from the 2018 Winter Games for systematic doping. Details to come.

 

[mr-x]

IThis move and he recent 3 anti-Muslim tweets.

I think President Trump is dealing with the reality of negotiating with people who hate one-another.

The left loves to hate Trump. I don't think Trump hates Muslims and he certainly doesn't hate Arabs. He's a politician dealing with Muslim terrorist state(s). President Trump generalizes and is inarticulate but the left blows a gasket and looks just as stupid every time.

Violent religious extremism isn't new. The video of young men being thrown from a roof-top isn't rare or racist, it happened.

 

[mr-x]

Of course, b/c Russia!!
