Looks like President Trump will pass a law requiring newspapers to detail their sources soon... lol #maga
- Wouldn't this hurt his precious fox news more?err
- I think fox news is entertainment.dorkKn1ght
- The left is at war with him. The liberals can't stand him. Of course nbc and cnn are not by his side.********
- Anyone educated or sensible hates that there is a fucking moronic buffoon as president, not just liberals. Most people hated him for decades before this.monospaced
- mono do you remember Nixon? HE was the most hated president, 1000s young US men dying a month for years over nothing. Trump is not hated, not like Nixon.robotron3k
- ^ talking about VN war in the 70s,robotron3k
- also, Nixon was also reelected even when he was despised by all. But Trump will easily win reelection and be with millennials into their middle are years...robotron3k

What's Obama's legacy? What has he REALLY accomplished for the US in his 8 years?
serious question.
I just remember him reading blah-blah speeches and posing for photos.
- Just take a look at pretty much everything that Trump and the GOP has repealed and you'll get a pretty good idea. Oh and the Affordable Care Act.hellrod
- The capture of Osama Bin Laden happened under his watch so he gets that credit too.hellrod
- A drop in unemployment every year for eight years straight. Fixed tons of bush era shit too.monospaced
- Did all that while preventing a second Great Depressionallthethings
- And all the economy things Donald Trump took credit for in his first yearerr
- Conservative news I read a few years ago said TPP would have been his biggest legacy. No wonder Trump ended it.mandomafioso
- The Reset with Russia, starting with scrapping NATO missile defense infrastructure in Poland and Czechia.
Reset pretty much handed whole East Europe to Putin.shaft - Withdrawing troops from Iraq and watching ISIS emerge and grow into that void.shaft
- Scrapping a Dept of State effort to tackle proliferation of Kremlin agitprop (Counter-Disinformat... Team), resulting in Russia's "meddling" in 2016 election.shaft
- The capture of Osam.... WHAT?!? bye.Maaku
- Note: this article is from 2015, a year before the election.

- you forgot, decapitating Libya, bombing wedding parties, expanding wars, inviting Jay Z an Bey to WH, being novelty Pres with world leaders, crying on command.robotron3k
- i have to agree with Chuk tho, after his first election his speeches really sucked. They were never any good once he was in office, maintaining the status quo.robotron3k
- so you thought Obama's speeches sucked, but having nothing but praise for you 2nd grade intellect orange leader. hmm.inteliboy
- Oh wow! QBN is Obama fanboy central. LOL!chukkaphob
- @shaft - you are oversimplifying the rise of ISIS in the middle east. Wasn't so much a void in US military as it was policies set forth by the Coalitionronburgundy
- Provisional Government which was lead by Paul Bremmer. Namely the dismantling of the Iraqi army and the removal of Baath Party members from having any roles inronburgundy
- the new Iraqi government. There were additional circumstances but the fact is this all started long before Obama was ever elected.ronburgundy

The latest from Londonistan... UPDATE: Tommy Robinson Receiving Death Threats in New UK Prison – Imam Orders Hit on Tommy Robinson
Fears for the safety of Tommy Robinson are mounting after it was revealed that he has been moved to a heavily Muslim-populated prison in the United Kingdom and has already been on the receiving end of death threats.
Robinson was jailed last month for a “breach of the peace” while live streaming a trial involving Muslim rape gang outside Leeds Crown Court.
He was initially held in a low security prison with a low Muslim population.
However, today it was revealed by Robinson’s manager Caolan Robertson that the activist has now been moved to another prison that has a large Muslim prison population.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders Cites Bible As Reason To Detain Immigrant Children
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended the administration’s detention of nearly 1,500 immigrant children by citing the Bible.
In a series of heated exchanges between Sanders and reporters at Thursday’s press briefing, the press secretary seemed to have trouble explaining the reasoning behind the practice of separating children from their parents when they cross into the U.S. illegally.
- she has no soulBluejam
- "Sarah Huckabee Sanders Cites Bible As Reason To Detain Immigrant Children"
That is not what she said.
She said: "it it is very biblical to enforce the law".******** - "The separation of illegal alien families is the product of the same legal loopholes that Democrats refuse to close and the president is simply enforcing them".********
- We may not agree with her statements but it's wrong to bend her words. This is why shit like #fakenews gains traction.********
- I think you are missing the point "It is very biblical to enforce the law". The bible shouldn't come into this. At all.fadein11
- And she's a cunt.fadein11
- soundofreason, I read your quote and the article headline and I'm not seeing a discrepancy there.yuekit
- OK, I'm missing the point then.********
- or didn't watch the video.fadein11
- I watched the video again, she cited Psalm 127:3-5 clearly sating that immigrant children should be detained, no discrepancy at all.********
- She cited a work of fiction that doesn’t have any bearing on law. It’s only relevance is to Christians, and it is not acceptable in an actual legal situation.monospaced
- *Except in court when you swear an oath on a holy book.********
- Not anymore you don’t.monospaced
- I would never swear on a book I consider no more relevant than Harry Potter, nor should I, since that is for children and has no real bearing on actual law.monospaced
- Glad we're getting the discussion back to where it matters.********
- well, you asked for clarification on why people are upset about citing the bible for these horrendous actions, and that is the reasonmonospaced
- I asked for clarification on why people are upset about citing the bible?
I don't think we speak the same language.
It's all good.******** - Because the Bible isn’t relevant. It’s also a violation of a church and state provision. Imagine if they cited dr Seuss as justification. Same thing.monospaced

Jim Acosta: "On the children who are being separated from their families as they come across the border, the attorney general earlier today said there is justification for this in the Bible. Where does it say in the Bible that it's moral to take children away from their mothers?"
Sarah Huckabee Sanders: “I’m not aware of the attorney general’s comments or what he would be referencing. I can say that it is very biblical to enforce the law. That is actually repeated a number of times throughout the bible.”Headline: “Sarah Huckabee Sanders Cites Bible As Reason To Detain Immigrant Children”
In a roundabout way you could claim that that headline is right but that would be acting in bad faith. I think most us clearly interpret that headline as if she would have said: “Clearly Psalm 127:3-5 says ‘Thou shalt detain the offspring of those who trespass the borders of Canaan’.”
She cited the bible as a reason to enforce the law, NOT as a reason to detain immigrant children. There is a difference. Once we get this clickbait bullshit out of the way we can start focusing on the real issue. That is why I’m taking the time to make the distinction.
- The headline is a little clickbaity I guess. I did want to share the video only but it's not on YouTube (or I couldn't find it). I should have said watch thefadein11
- video and not quoted the article. I had seen the video only on Facebook originally. Not sure why I am wasting my time explaining as she's still a cunt :)fadein11
- "I think most us clearly interpret that headline as if she would have said..." Well I can't speak for anyone else but I didn't. You could have saved yourselfyuekit
- the trouble writing that mini essay lol.yuekit
- Her comment was dumb on multiple levels. First of all bringing religion into it and then the notion that because the Bible says follow the law, it's "moral"yuekit
- LOL indeed.********
- from a Christian POV to follow ANY law no matter how inhumane. I'm pretty sure that's what the controversy is about.yuekit
- yep, and that's why I shared it.fadein11
- @yuekit
I don't know if you have been able to discern this from my mini essay, I am only objecting to the the title. I too want to get back to the real issue.******** - Otherwise, let's take this over the religion thread.********
- I thought it was the reporter that brought religion into the discussion. I'm going to need to watch it a third time.********
- The attorney general brought religion into it and the reporter raised that.fadein11
- Also: https://www.youtube.…
I guess the HuffPost is #winning******** - You even quoted that part :)fadein11
- I forgot, maybe because it wasn't in the video.
#practice We're talking about practice!******** - We need to get to the bottom of this!********
- It was in the video.fadein11
- New headline:
"Attorney general cites Bible as reason to detain immigrant children which then reporter asks Sarah Huckabee Sanders about, to which she replies:”******** - Shit, ran out of space!********
- "Not in the video" as in the Attorney General wasn't present in the discussion therefore he did not bring it up in that conversation.
Dude, we're so petty :-)******** - What does rerendered think?fadein11
- Since we're both the same person probably not much different than I.********
- lolfadein11
- I wondered if you had different online personas.fadein11
- Let pockets serve as a lesson.********
- "It is very Biblical to enforce the law." Guess who else uses Religion to justify their atrocities. (ISIS)
Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?kona - The Bible isn’t a valid reason to uphold law though. The very idea is absolutely ludicrous.monospaced
- soundofreason "free thinker" QBN Super TrollLMFAO
- but the law does in fact call for the seperation of children from their parents, it just wasn't enforced under Obama. Sessions issued a "zero tolerance" memo.zarkonite
- So I think it's ok to imply she did, because the other bible nut made a rule that called for separating children from their parents.zarkonite
- kirshar128
Let me just say, anyone that agrees with this situation of children and families being separated, #1 if you are a Christian, go ahead and turn in your Bibles. You're done. And #2, congratulate yourself for going along with one of the most immoral decisions I've seen my own country make.
As a parent, this infuriates me to no end. There are better ways to deal with this yet we've decided to handle it in the WORST POSSIBLE WAY...
You can't justify this and still call yourself a human being.
- Oh yeah, and someone tell our AG that the Bible was used to defend slavery too. Of course, he's probably cool with that.....kirshar12
- I can't help but feel we've seen something similar to this take place at another time in history, but I just can't seem to put my finger on it ...Continuity

- Sorry, this shit has been going on since the Obama days, in fact he encouraged parents to bring their kids, were your crocodile tears then...???robotron3k

"This isn’t new: A mural of Barack Obama was also featured in at least one detention center, along with a quote about America being a country of immigrants.
Trump’s quote does not originate from any presidential speech or policy announcement, however. His observation on war and battle comes from the former real estate developer’s co-authored book, The Art of the Deal. In its original context, the line refers to evicting tenants (p. 249)."

Trump used the term "infest" when tweeting about immigration earlier.
That type of rhetoric from a president will will give the far right, white supremacists and KKK a boner.
