  1. Trump certainly had a period in his campaign when he was flailing. Then finally he was convinced to get more or less on message. Trouble is right now even the people who run the campaign are off message themselves. They all need to get their crap together soon. As far as computers, I didn't mean the new AI stuff, and humans are still better at it for now.
  2. lol , and I thought you were at least a decent lawyer. Edit: btw, Congress also determined that those 7 countries present a terrorism danger. So the court not only usurped presidential authority but also congressional one.
  3. One thing that makes humans superior to computers is to be able to make decisions on incomplete information. Everyone does that every day in their normal life. I'm not saying it's not better to have complete information, but it's not usually possible.
  4. I really don't know what you're talking about. The judges had to decide if the states' case has enough merit to be likely to succeed, they decided that it does, but their reasoning is nonsensical and unprecedented. Edit: Btw, I don't think the entire EO is overturned like everyone seems to believe. So far as I know they're still not issuing any new visas.
  5. Then how do they know the case is likely to succeed on its merits? It's quite obvious the case has no merit.
  6. @Hurlshot Trump has the executive power, the judges just stole it from him, has nothing to do with who is more knowledgeable. The judges are not objective, it's been obvious for a long time that liberal judges simply decide for whatever they'd like the outcome to be, the hell with the law. Was just about to post this anyway, explains one reason why this decision is so stupid and dangerous: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2017/02/09/the-9th-circuits-dangerous-and-unprecedented-use-of-campaign-statements-to-block-presidential-policy/?utm_term=.3ed5dd6ad286 Edit: They don't have to justify it, we have separation of powers, the President doesn't need to have his decisions approved by the court. All the court can rule on is whether the order is legal or not, there's no requirement anywhere for the President to prove that there's a real threat.
  7. Trump knows the essence of things, but he's fuzzy on details. There's plenty of evidence that there's massive voter fraud, but no hard numbers because no one ever tried or was allowed to get them. Creamer bragged on video tape about massive voter fraud, and he's been to the White House some 350 times. Obama himself sent a very clear signal to illegals that no one will check if they committed fraud by voting. When Stein did her stupid recount in Michigan they couldn't even recount most of Detroit because a huge number of precincts had a mismatch between voters signed in and ballots cast; and it just goes on and on. But because we have almost no vote integrity measures and the Democrats fight them tooth and nail, no one can quantify how much fraud actually does occur.
  8. It's the court that acted unconstitutionally in this case. It's not for them to determine whether there's a security threat or not, that's the President's job. Both the Constitution and the law are crystal clear on this.
  9. He was motivated by ISIS, I didn't say they found actual explicit ties, but that's what ISIS tells them to do, launch attacks on their own.
  10. Eventually they did, but at first they were trying to create a different impression. Yes, the mainstream media is a liberal echo chamber, no doubt about it. You can't dispute what Lynch did, and you can't dispute that Obama administration classified the Fort Hood attack as "workplace violence", and the media let them get away with it. And Trump is factually correct that Blumenthal's statement was misleading.
  11. Yeah, they covered the Orlando shooting as a "right wing homophobe" attack. Lynch even deleted ISIS from the 911 phone transcript. Talk about a deliberate deception, much worse than Trump shooting his mouth off. Where was media scrutiny back then?
  12. No they don't, read more carefully: Don't know why Gorsuch is conspiring with his enemies against the man who nominated him though, talk about an ingrate. If he has something to say, say it to Trump's face.
  13. Trump said it's because Blumenthal added his own adjectives in addition to quoting Gorsuch.
  14. Refugee program full of fraud: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/letters/ct-i-have-seen-first-hand-the-abuse-and-fraud-in-the-u-s-refugee-program-20170206-story.html Edit: I remember them stirring the pot about the Trayvon Martin case and even worse about Ferguson "hands up don't shoot" lie, so you may not have noticed it but it's been going on for years and years.
  15. OK, so let's say you look at CNN. Sure, sometimes they'll have an opposing viewpoint, but 90% of the time they're pushing a narrative. Then they claim they're impartial. Breitbart doesn't pretend to be impartial, if you want an opposing viewpoint, just look at another website.
  16. He must have been thinking of the great Falcon massacre.
  17. So like every other media outlet then.
  18. I think we better invade and set it right. Oh, wait...

  20. F-35 might not be as bad as we've been told: http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a25078/f-35-red-flag-war-games/
  21. Russian man strong! Must teach woman.
  22. The warping of the Commerce Clause took place back in the 30's, when the Supreme Court made such decisions as a farmer who doesn't participate in interstate commerce still participates, since refusal to participate is a form of participation. Actually I give the benefit of the doubt to both sides. There's no government without coercion. The real question is whether it's legal and justified. Meh, very hyperbolic there. Once again, visitors don't have any right to visit, others you mentioned are protected by law.
  23. Pelosi just said she can't work with President Bush. I'm not butthurt like some, so I'll just say she misspoke.
