"Progressive", fair enough.


The point I was making previously was that "diversity" and "identity" politics had opened the door to voting solely based on race. Effectively a tacit endorsement of racism. Voting based only on skin color rather than ideas.

I am simply presenting the logic that Trump essentially presents and its conclusion. Maybe I misunderstood it, but unless I did, that's the logic presented and its conclusion. It isn't my logic, so...

I have to disagree with a lot of what you're saying man, Trump's plans are to move most of the Arab Citizens into Safe regions of the Middle East where they can work and thrive without clashing cultures in Europe or America. I personally think the Refugees are better than Illegal Aliens and would much prefer an Arabic Working Class than a Mexican Underclass and such disagree with Trump on that decision. But he's obviously not advocating for, nor will he lead to genocide.
Editing my Signature is glitchy for me. So this is pretty bland.

Well I would agree, it seems that in America, people who are Black will more than likely vote democrats.

You missed the part where the middle east is nice insular. Afghans fucking hated each other from being from the other valley. In that regard, Mr. Trump is correct. Given the current way we've been fighting wars, only genocide lite (if you count villages as that, its more small scale ethnic cleansing) can achieve our objectives. Novus America had a good analysis of our failings in this regard and what we do need to do.

So when I felt frustrated and ready to give up on supporting the modern counterterrorism policy and half-jokingly suggested we should just kill everyone...it was the right thing to do?

... your examples are one previous president and one soon-to-be president, one of whom has been a biracial man notably hands-off on racial issues and didn't get an exceptional portion of the black vote, and one who's running against an indisputable misogynist?
Check my edit, I linked you something explaining the whole thing and its origins. He'd later leverage that to try and get votes in 2000.

2000? You mean the year he wasn't running for president and the man on the Dem ticket was distancing himself from Bill?
Yugoslavia = Example of ethnic conflicts go started

"Diversity" = vote for the guy who looks like you, essentially harnessing ingroup preferences while vociferously condemning the other guy for "racism", they opened the door

Yeah, I'm not seeing it.

I am saying wait for studies to be done and then make the call. We toss money at corrupt third world shitheaps all the time. Dumping money in Iraq and Afghanistan hasn't worked. Why would the recipe change?

That could be years before definitive answers come out, and even then they'll likely be disputed, or maybe even outdated.

Probably has something to do with most of that money being in the form of precision missile strikes. US investment in Africa is looking to pay off quite nicely. Why should Latin America be any different?

I don't think we should subsidize failed states. It would be a malinvestment and direction of resources into an unproductive area in the world. I'd rather see that money go to Africa. They've got a better chance of not screwing it up and giving us a return on investment in the form of strategic rare mineral reserves like Cobalt.

If its just a private business deal on the otherhand, I see no problem with it. Private business can risk its money where it will no problem.

Latin America doesn't have the same work ethic nor stable contract system that many of the Africa countries do. I believe Nigeria is better for contract enforcement and repayments than most of SA bar Chile.

On that note, I think it is dangerous for people who will soon be calling for them to be tried by special court. Despite our disagreements with the jury's decision, it ought to be respected.

I agree, although honestly I think this was probably the best case for a treason trial in years.

Undoubtedly these whiners will (after getting the snacks they so desperately need) will end up suing the government for 'emotional damage' or someshit to get their share of the big, bad Federal government.

I could get behind tariffs and free trade. Its not like that region of the world is developed enough to threaten or come close to anything we have now. I'd feel much better if it were the market determining investment in businesses anyway rather than Government.

I did read that certain individuals in Wall Street would like see a free movement deal passed as well (in one of the Clinton leaked speeches. Thats where I draw the line.

Not since Hassan have I seen such a clear case. However, are those tried by tribunal or jury? I am not familiar with their mechanics.

I support free movement if and when we need it economically speaking. To be honest, I'm surprised we've not had one with the Canadians or other English speaking countries yet. I'd doubt the Europeans would let us into theirs however.

My question is how the jurors came to this conclusion? Were they really locals? In such a case, that is indication of some form of support for what they did.
