Re: 'Stupid Trump'
Readers Letter. Western Australian Newspaper. Feb. 1st 2017.
Anti Trump Protests..
It appears the media are totally pre-occupied with the protestors demonstrating against Donald Trump banning people from various Islamic countries where terrorists had been trained.
The protestors might have a lot more public sympathy for their cause if they had been out in similar numbers protesting against the Islamic atrocities in the US while Barack Obama was President. Consider ; Fort Hood 14 dead, 30 injured; Boston Marathon 3 dead 260 injured; Chattanooga 5 dead; San Bernardino 14 dead 22 injured; Orlando 49 dead 53 injured; and New York City 30 injured. There were other atrocities too.
There is little evidence Obama did much to protect Americans against Islamic terror.
Now he has the audacity to condemn Trump for trying another approach to the problem... Signed
And another a small extract from a columnist Editorial.
" The World is watching something quite rare. A politician who said he was going to do something if he won an election and has gone right out and done it".

Re: 'Stupid Trump'

Just a thought.

TO LATE TO LOOK UP ALL STATS:
Looked up the below as a guide.
K.
All shootings: Some 13,286 people were killed in the US by firearms in 2015, according to the Gun Violence Archive, and 26,819 people were injured [those figures exclude suicide]. Those figures are likely to rise by several hundred, once incidents in the final week of the year are counted.

Homeland chief says immigration ban is just a 'temporary pause' - and says he learned about it 'probably Wednesday' but it wasn't his job to 'correct the grammar'
Homeland Security secretary John Kelly says he has known about President Trump's immigration ban for two years since Trump talked about it during the campaign.

Re: 'Stupid Trump'
I am reliably informed that the greater number of shootings are Black on Black.
As to an Executive decision such as Trump has made regarding immigration.
Rodders, can this, like a veto if enough of congress vote against it, be overturned or is it just a short term policy?
As to the demonstrators, every country has them, rent a mob' is all over the globe in one form or another. Here in Oz it is mainly made up of students who are in their early days at Uni left Wing Looneys until they begin to realize the world does not want such persons.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: 'Stupid Trump'
Obama blocked refugee request from Iraq's for six months.
there is a video on Facebook showing a Clinton statement about refugees and immigrants.
He threw out more illegals than any president.
He employed more border guards to deter Mexicans.
Hypocrites the whole lot of them.
Apparently there is an online petition demanding that Trump's star visit to the UK should go ahead. The petition has gained over 100,000 signatures one day.
Anybody spots it let me know.
Regards
Vic

Re: 'Stupid Trump'
Jim, signed, first link doesn't seem to work, second OK.
Be interesting to see if BBC features the petition on its News Progs. Somehow I don't think so.

What on earth has that got to do with an immigration policy.
Just because so many indigenous people are killing each other, then it's alright to let more prospective killer aliens in, strange policy!

Re: 'Stupid Trump'
Today , 1,000 German Police have raided 54 properties and mo sks and broke up a moo slim terror ring that came in from Tunisia, that was planning an attack in Germany.
Doesn't that say it all? Will these Protester think about that ? I doubt it, they are too stupid to know what it is all about.
