Re: "Great Honor" For Trump
He may be a bully, but "serial liar?"
Yes. He lied about claims regarding undocumented immigrants and their supposed criminality. Then there are the issues regarding Trump University. Here is some sample material from this serial liar:
"We (Trump University) have an ‘A’ from the Better Business Bureau."
"Right now we’re the highest taxed country in the world."
"I never once asked that (Megyn Kelly) be removed as a debate moderator."
"The birther movement was started by Hillary Clinton in 2008. She was all in!"
"We have 93 million people out of work. They look for jobs, they give up, and all of a sudden, statistically, they're considered employed."
Claimed that The Art of the Deal is "the No. 1 selling business book of all time."
"Even our nuclear arsenal doesn't work. It came out recently they have equipment that is 30 years old. They don't know if it worked."
"Our real unemployment is anywhere from 18 to 20 percent. Don't believe the 5.6. Don't believe it."
Etc. etc.
And all the rest of the terms are lies, especially the one about pledging to "BAN" all Muslims, without mentioning that he said UNTIL THEY CAN BE INVESTIGATED.
Did Donald Trump repeatedly pledge to ban all Muslims from the country? Yes or no?
AND LET ME POINT OUT: there is some kind of in*sane policy that wants us to take Muslims and NOT let us have the CHRISTIAN refugees who would be more compatible with our culture and FOR SURE aren't going to wreak jihad on us or rape Christian women.
Please provide evidence that there is a discriminatory policy where Muslim refugees from Syria are favored over Christian refugees from Syria.
And by "our culture," do you mean white, patriarchal, Christian culture?
WHAT KIND OF CONSPIRACY IS THIS ANYWAY?
Umm, it's a conspiracy theory that's in your head.
Just the usual Leftist hate-America PC bullying, speaking of bullying.
Oh, right. Because if someone is against xenophobic, racist, misogynists than they must hate America, right?

Re: "Great Honor" For Trump
he editor's note could have been written by leftists at EvC:
My point in mentioning the note was to point out the overstatements. But I note that nothing stopped you from attributing the remarks to the rest of us.
But seriously is the birther accusation a lie? Did not Trump threaten to sue Cruz with respect to his eligibility for being president.? Wasn't he the birther in chief with respect to Obama.
And what is this about?
and NOT let us have the CHRISTIAN refugees
Really? Have you been denied some Christian refugees?

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Martin Luther King

More Trump Lies
Here.
Amongst other things, he's pretending that Trump Steaks (the brand that failed within months back in 2007) is still in business, by pointing to steaks supplied by Bush Brothers. In retrospect, he should probably have taken the labels off, but apparently all the practice he's had at lying hasn't actually made him good at it.

Well, we Canadians investigate refugees before we let them in too - but we don't single out Muslims. What Trump said is the equivalent of, "We won't hire black people without a background check."

I'm not interested in playing he said she said with Faith. My point is that her logic is wrong, whether her premise is correct or not.

UNTIL THEY CAN BE INVESTIGATED. AND LET ME POINT OUT:
Hello, Ms. Crazypants? According to the press release from his campaign: "Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on."
Yes, "until we figure out what is going on." Which implies finding out what dangers there could be. Isn't that pretty obvious? Mr. Crazyhead.
In a written statement late Monday afternoon, the Trump campaign said the Republican frontrunner wanted a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on. As backing, Trump cited a controversial six-month-old survey from the right-wing Center for Security Policy finding that one-quarter of U.S. Muslim respondents believed that violence against Americans was justified as part of global jihad and that a slim majority agreed that Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah.

Sounds to me like in context, "figuring out what is going on" means finding out how much danger there could be from people who believe this way.
And again, they could give us ALL the Christian refugees. Why won't they do that?

Re: "Great Honor" For Trump
But so far even the unsupported assertions from that right-wing fascist group do not show any threat or really anything that might not also be true had they surveyed US Christians.

What evidence is there that Christian refugees would be any lesser threat than Muslim refugees?
Remember there is absolutely no evidence that any immigrants are more likely to commit a violent crime than natural US Citizens.

Because "ALL the Christian refugees" haven't tried to come here? Who is meant to "give" them to us? What if they'd rather be in Lebanon?

Are you saying that christians can't be terrorists or security risks?

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Yes, that is an insane policy.
It is also totally made up bullshit. There is no such policy.

The real unemployment rate
Quoting the Donald:
"Our real unemployment is anywhere from 18 to 20 percent. Don't believe the 5.6. Don't believe it."
Not that I've investigated it personally, but this may be substantially true. There are a lot of unemployed that are not part of the official unemployed count.
