No, we are talking about the people who would approve of such a measure.

I wouldn't care if it happened, I just wouldn't actively argue for it other than pointing out that there are some justifications for it.

Perhaps he actually will become the nominee....


The same polls predicting trump gets the GOP nominee are the same polls that said Romey would give obama a run for his money in their election and the only state Romney got that was of any value was Texas...I really don't need to say anymore.


Actually, you kinda do. You see, the final result was (ironically enough) 51% Obama - 47% Romney (which is within the margin of error from a tied poll result), and Romney won 206 Electoral College votes. I'm sure that Texas doesn't account for more than...hmm, 1/5 of those?
Fuck it all. Let the world burn - there's no way roaches could do a worse job of being decent than we have.

Silly brits, Now this is the way to do it, and avoids all issues of infringement of speech and property rights

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Since the petition makes no note of leaving him with provisions, I presume we've moved from banning him from a country to straight up murdering the fella?

Also ITT: people acting like not being in the UK means you can no longer speak.

I don't see how banning Trump makes any difference, which is why I didn't sign it. They should try arguing against his politics rather than symbolically banning his freedom of movement.

His persona non grata status in the UK is strictly not "banning his freedom of movement".

I don't think there is any inherent right to go where one pleases, except within reason. Persona non grata obviously precludes "within reason".
For what its worth, British politicians have indeed challenged it and said "we'd rather point out he's a twat".

It is more proper to ask what he hasn't done.

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

Why do they oppose him? Yes, he may be wrong occasionally but overall he appears to be our best bet at making America great again.
