I can understand why he would be afraid. Historically almost every politician has lost their nerve once they came under the non-stop barrage from the press.

Trump isn�t a normal politician though, his history so far is that under attack he digs in and doubles down. That is the reason many of us have supported him against other normal Repubs who said the right things, but we didn�t believe they�d actually have the nerve to hold firm.

So far Trump hasn�t disappointed me. Of course he isn�t in office yet, but I�m still pleased with what I see.

This is a danger.

However, Trump is stimulated by opposition; he's intelligent enough to surround himself with wise winners; he's aware of his mandate; and I think he's as eager as the rest of us to expose and expunge the corruption. Furthermore his vision is great enough to imagine an America freed from corruption and to look forward to it.

I think his personal security is at least as great a danger. The blind hatred of the Left, which has always been a fundamental part of them, has already erupted into violence and will become more and more inflamed as truth threatens their delusions and anti-corruption reforms threaten their power, privileges, and luxuries.

I think Newt as a valid point here. Consider what Bannon said when he stated that it would be our responsibility to keep Trump�s feet to the fire. Or when Kellyanne spoke up about the Romney debacle. Sure, we all laughed at the end and said Trump was just having fun with Romney. But consider the heartburn it gave people just meeting with him.

What if Chuck Schumer gave Trump his SCOTUS nominee in exchange for backing off the wall? Just an example (and obviously a deal breaker for us) but we elected a deal maker and there�s no limit to the types of deals that could be made.

Will Trump go through the same bruising fight that Scott Walker did to get civil service reform? All questions that will be answered in the coming months. It�s important to have a healthy skepticism.

Once Trump is sworn into office, I expect things to move so fast that his opponents will be in shock. Trump is superb at getting things done in the real world, a rare trait among people in general and politicians in particular.

From The Problem Of Muslim Inbreeding posted by freeper gaggs

It's from a blog titled "Common Sense Evaluation." On the blogroll are Gateway Pundit, Michelle Malkin, NewsBusters, and the Sarah Palin Channel. Also it's old enough to have a freaking blogoroll. It looks like the blog post was created by the freeper in question from the name. Oh, and on the blog, this is the author's avatar:

On top of all that poo poo, this is just blogspam for a piece published on PJ Media six and a half years ago, which is in turn based on a 2005 article published in the Times of India, which is in turn based on this article in the BBC about cousin marriage in in the British Pakistani community.

Now, all of that said, yes, marriage of first cousins is not taboo and sometimes not even uncommon in certain areas of the world, and wasn't too uncommon in western civilizations until relatively recently. In fact,

quote:

To: gaggs

You are wrong about the first cousin thing. Cousins often married until the last 100 years. Laws started showing up in the late 1800�s But I assure you there were lots of first cousins, and cousins once removed that were prominent as well as hill-billy. Just read a Jane Austin book.

I'm sure this is just some copy-paste article from somewhere, but it's golden/horrifying. Also, Google that guy in an incognito window and be amazed at the super high quality sites he's published on.

quote:

To: gaggs

According to Nicolai Sennels, a Danish psychologist who has done extensive research into Muslim inbreeding, close to half of all Muslims in the world are inbred:

70% of Pakistanis are inbred.
67% of Saudi Arabians are inbred.
64% of those living in Jordan and Kuwait are inbred.
63% of Sudanese are inbred.
60% of Iraqis are inbred.
54% of Muslims in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar are inbred.
25-30% of those in Turkey are inbred.

In England, at least 55% of Pakistani immigrants are married to their first cousins.
In Denmark the number of inbred Pakistani immigrants is around 40%.

Sennels points out that cousin marriage was sanctioned by Muhammad and has been going on now for 50 generations (1,400 years) in the Muslim world. This practice of inbreeding will never go away in the Muslim world since Muhammad is the ultimate example and authority on all matters, including marriage.

Sennels warns that massive inbreeding in Muslim culture may well have done virtually irreversible damage to the Muslim gene pool, including extensive damage to Muslims� intelligence, sanity, and health.

Below are the consequences of inbreeding:

1. Birth and birth defects:

100% increase in the risk of stillbirths.
50% increase in the risk that the child dies during labor.
The risk of autosomal recessive genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis and spinal muscular atrophy is 18 times higher.
The risk of death due to malformations is 10 times higher.

2. Physical and mental retardation and illnesses:

The closer the blood relative, the higher the risk of mental and physical retardation and schizophrenic illness.
The closer the blood relative, the higher the risk of schizophrenic illness, i.e., insanity.
Social abilities develop much slower in inbred babies. An academic paper published in the Indian National Science Academy found that �the onset of various social profiles like visual fixation, social smile, sound seizures, oral expression and hand-grasping are significantly delayed among the new-born inbred babies.�

Research shows that if one�s parents are cousins, intelligence goes down 10-16 IQ points. The risk of having an IQ lower than 70, the official demarcation for being classified as �retarded,� increases by 400% among children of cousin marriages.

All of which would explain the following phenomena among Muslims (Source: Nicolai Sennels):

1 out of every 3 Somalis are mentally ill.
More than 40% of the patients in Denmark�s biggest ward for clinically insane criminals have an immigrant (i.e., Muslim) background.
One-third of all handicapped people in Copenhagen have a �foreign� (i.e., Muslim) background.
In Denmark, psychologist Sennels� native country, �non-Western� immigrants (who are mainly Muslim) are more than 300% more likely to fail the intelligence test required for entrance into the Danish army.

In Denmark, Muslim children are grossly overrepresented among children with special needs. One-third of the budget for Danish schools is consumed by special education.
64% of school children with Arabic parents in Denmark are still illiterate after 10 years in the Danish school system. The immigrant drop-out rate in Danish high schools is twice that of the native-born.

The U.S. is not immune. According to Sennels, �One study based on 300,000 Americans shows that the majority of Muslims in the USA have a lower income, are less educated, and have worse jobs than the population as a whole.� Muslims� average lower IQ means a lowered ability to enjoy and produce knowledge and abstract thinking, which would explain why:

The Arab world translates just 330 books every year, about 20% of what Greece alone does. In the last 1,200 years years of Islam, just 100,000 books have been translated into Arabic, about what Spain does in a single year.

7 out of 10 Turks have never even read a book. Only 9 Muslims had ever won the Nobel Prize, and 5 of those 9 were for the �Peace Prize.� According to Nature magazine, Muslim countries produce just 10% of the world average when it comes to scientific research.

Sennels concludes:

The troubling reality being referred to is the widespread practice of Muslim inbreeding and the birth defects and social ills that it spawns. The tragic effect of the Left�s control of the boundaries of debate is that any discussion about vital issues such as these marks an individual as an �Islamophobe� and a �racist.� A person who dares to point at the pathology of inbreeding in the Muslim community is accused of whipping up hatred against Muslim people.

However, to fight against inbreeding anywhere is to defend humanity and to defend innocent babies from birth defects�. Muslims are the first, though maybe not the greatest, victims of Islam�.The Left�s callous silence on this issue exposes who is truly �anti-Muslim.�

I know for a fact, having marketed products to the Middle East used for the care of children with disabilities, that they do discuss the problem among themselves. But the practice of intrafamilial marriage is so ingrained in the culture that they do nothing concrete about it. The percentage of such children born with severe problems is several times as great as in any other region. And that doesn�t count the population�s broadly impaired intelligence, nor the aggressively misogynistic and pederastic cultural and religious norms. These are the people and the culture the psychopathic Left insists on importing en masse.

The U.S. is not immune. According to Sennels, �One study based on 300,000 Americans shows that the majority of Muslims in the USA have a lower income, are less educated, and have worse jobs than the population as a whole.�

I love it when they try to justify their lovely opinions with shittier research, because a 12-second search and skimming Wikipedia leads me to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_the_United_States#Education_and_income

Evil Liberal Hivemind Wikipedia posted:

Contrary to popular perceptions, the condition of Muslims in the U.S. is very good. Among South Asians in the country, the large Pakistani American community stands out as particularly well educated and prosperous, with education and income levels exceeding those of U.S.-born whites. Many are professionals, especially in medicine (they account for 2.7-5% of America�s physicians),[104][105] scientists, engineers, and financial analysts, and there are also a large number of entrepreneurs. There are more than 15,000 medical doctors practicing medicine in the USA who are of Pakistani origin alone[106] and the number of Pakistani American millionaires was reported to be in the thousands.

This shouldn't be surprising. Pretty much every large immigrant group that's come to the US since the end of WWII has done exceptionally well for themselves.

In fact, she asked a wholly inappropriate �gotcha� question to kick off the first Republican debate, elevated Trump in the estimation of voters (which was the last thing she attempted) and then spent the rest of the election pretending the news was about her rather than about the election.

In short, good move Fox News.

A. Megyn�s question had NOTHING to do with accusations of harassment (�or worse�). It had to do with �several disparaging comments about women�s looks� on Trump�s Twitter account, which, to Megyn�s teeny little feminist brain, meant Trump was part of the �war on women.�

B. And, no, accusations do not always have to be dignified with an answer - or even a question - particularly accusations made out of the blue in the middle of a political campaign.

quote:

To: laweeks

I found Kelly�s problem wasn�t that she was like a Rachel Maddow, but rather she had a difficult time maintaining a consistent presentation.

She�d do a news analysis segment where she�d be like a giggly flirt working the room at a Happy Hour.

Then a commercial break, and she�d do a very serious segment on Kate�s Law, for example. She�d be so different than she came across just six minutes ago, it was really jarring.

I quit on her show after the first GOP Primary debate in August 2015, though truthfully I usually switched off Fox News after the first 30 minutes of O�Reilly, as the second half hour has been useless for a long time - Jesse Watters as the unfunny parody of the white conservative smirking jerk, Bill flirts with a senior citizen like Lis Weihl and gets nowhere, or Dennis Miller visits and Bill tries to keep up with the comedy but comes across as an unfunny boor.

But at that point I made a deliberate decision to avoid Megyn Kelly�s show. Actually that entire debate was an obvious attempt to mug Mr Trump and actually tipped my favoir towards Trump, where it has remained.

Funny you should mention. My father has a form of dementia that mimics Alzheimer's in a lot of ways. He forgets words and names, although he can usually remember what they stand for, which is making communication increasingly difficult, and means we have to work with him daily to try to keep him at a certain level for as long as possible. He's pretty homebound and spends most of his day in bed, which means he's on the internet a lot, watches Youtube a lot (though often videos without dialogue or text in them, he likes the walking tours). He actually looked in as much as he could on the candidates this past year. He didn't really remember Hillary and had no idea who Bernie was, but Trump? He remembers Trump. He just never remembers Trump's name.

Therefore, he dubbed Trump 'The Baby Man' whenever he wanted to refer to him, and still can't understand why anyone would vote for someone like that. So what's even funnier is an actual dementia sufferer can spot Trump is a conman shithead when Freepers can't.

Gee, someone used a private server that cold have been hacked (because we all know the Feds can't...forget all that Russia poo poo) if someone ever cared to find out if old Bill used extendz or something. But goddamn that was such a mistake that a guy who admitted to actual sexual assault, acts like a child, threatens nations both ally and foe, who's best comeback to questions about his stuffing his face up Russia's rear end was "No, no puppets here, you're the puppet", has some very shady tax returns and refuses to release his current one while demanding everyone else release personal info, scams thousands out of their money, and runs businesses into the ground at record breaking speed is clearly the better choice.
Every loving debate was like watching an autistic 10 year old bitch to his mommy about his sister crossing his side of the back seat. Why we as a nation decided to buy him an ice cream cone instead of slamming on the brakes to turn this poo poo around is just incredible

I've had people complain about "fake news" like that church burning that turned out ago be done by a member of the congregation, and how the mainstream lame stream media never reports it...

All while linking to an abc news article on it.

"Fake news" has been a lot in the, well, news. It's referring to click bait articles but the right has co-opted it to mean the "mainstream media".

Therefore, he dubbed Trump 'The Baby Man' whenever he wanted to refer to him, and still can't understand why anyone would vote for someone like that.

This made my morning. Your dad is awesome, and I hope the best for him.

"Fake news" is just the new "liberal media" catchphrase for news that conflicts with the false reality in their head so it's not really new. They aren't actually creative enough to think up a new idea so they just jumped on the fake news stories and repeat it because it has a dual effect of enforcing their media bubbles and also delegitimizing complaints of click baitey garbage which helps lowers the bar for journalism across the board.
