So, how is President Trump doing?

[g5000]

The pseudocons think worship of the wrong god is terrorism.

Only when they carry out 30,162 terror attacks since 9/11

Islam: The Politically Incorrect Truth

Is it really a "phobia" when they're throwing you off a roof?

You really are a living, breathing piece of fucking shit.

Somebody should do something about that.

By golly, you're right! I think that was Muhammad Ali throwing that guy off the roof!

The tards don't realize there are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, and if they all wanted us dead...we would be.

 

[Edgetho]

The tards don't realize there are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, and if they all wanted us dead...we would be.

And there are 2.2 Billion Christians. Do you go out of your way to be made the fool?

Are you some kind of masochist that likes being made fun of?

Seriously dewd..... THINK once in a while

 

[Vandalshandle]

YEAH! If we start killing each other, on a one, on one basis, we win by half a billion! GO TEAM!

 

[there4eyeM]

Of course, Trump also said he would release his taxes.

No scandal . High markets. Not a bad few hours

I agree....lets hope this is not the high water mark of his presidency

It comes completely natural to him.

 

[rightwinger]

Our President has promised a lot today

Lets see if he can deliver

 

[kwc57]

Great so far. He just gave a speech of unity and inclusiveness where he promised to be President of all Americans. I haven't heard that in the last 8 years after I voted for Obama. Instead I heard how I was unaware of my inherent bias, how I was privileged and deplorable. It's nice to be acknowledged with all my fellow Americans again.

Does unifying all America include closing the mosques, or was that just a suggestion?

Depends on whether or not they are working with our sworn enemies to radicalize homegrown terrorists. I'm in favor of closing any religious organization that moves away from merely practicing their religion and engages in illegal and terrorist activities against innocent Americans regardless of whether it is Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, etc. My question to you is why you would desire to allow a cancer like that to fester?

Silly me. When the Bill of Rights were added to the constitution, I assumed that it protected the right of every American Citizen to worship freely in this country. I had no idea that it only meant freedom to worship in religions approved by the government....

So you think terrorism is a form of worship?

Oh, I am certain that we can all trust the government to tell us what is religion and what is not. The government never will mislead you on THAT! The old system of forbidding acts that are illegal was just too mild. As Barney used to say on "The Andy Griffith Show, "Nip it in the bud!" A closed Mosque is a good mosque!

I see the problem here. You're being purposely obtuse. It isn't cute. No one here has argued in favor of ignoring the Bill of Rights and the state interfering in a religion's worship. What they have argued for is shutting down a place that is hiding behind a religion and engaging in terrorist activities......even if it is a church or a mosque. I'm going to go out on a limb and make an assumption that you aren't so stupid as to think Trump is talking about just closing down all mosques for the hell of it, but your response might prove me wrong.

Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, fellow Americans and people of the world: Thank you.

We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and to restore its promise for all of our people.

Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come.

We will face challenges. We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done.

Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power, and we are grateful to President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent.

Today’s ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another – but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C., and giving it back to you, the American People.

For too long, a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.

Washington flourished – but the people did not share in its wealth.

Politicians prospered – but the jobs left, and the factories closed.

The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.

Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation’s capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.

That all changes – starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you.

It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America.

This is your day. This is your celebration.

And this, the United States of America, is your country.

What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people.

January 20th 2017 will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again.

The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.

Everyone is listening to you now.

You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement the likes of which the world has never seen before.

At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction: that a nation exists to serve its citizens.

Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families and good jobs for themselves.

These are the just and reasonable demands of a righteous public.

But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.

This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.

We are one nation – and their pain is our pain. Their dreams are our dreams; and their success will be our success. We share one heart, one home and one glorious destiny.

The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans.

For many decades, we’ve enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry;

Subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military;

We've defended other nation’s borders while refusing to defend our own;

And spent trillions of dollars overseas while America's infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay.

We’ve made other countries rich while the wealth, strength and confidence of our country has disappeared over the horizon.

One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about the millions upon millions of American workers left behind.

The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed across the entire world.

But that is the past. And now we are looking only to the future.

We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every foreign capital and in every hall of power.

From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.

From this moment on, it’s going to be America First.

Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families.

We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies and destroying our jobs. Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength.

I will fight for you with every breath in my body – and I will never, ever let you down.

America will start winning again, winning like never before.

We will bring back our jobs. We will bring back our borders. We will bring back our wealth. And we will bring back our dreams.

We will build new roads, and highways, and bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and railways all across our wonderful nation.

We will get our people off of welfare and back to work – rebuilding our country with American hands and American labor.

We will follow two simple rules: Buy American and Hire American.

We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world – but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first.

We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to follow.

We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones – and unite the civilized world against Radical Islamic Terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth.

At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other.

When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.

The Bible tells us, “how good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.”

We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity.

When America is united, America is totally unstoppable.

There should be no fear – we are protected, and we will always be protected.

We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement and, most importantly, we are protected by God.

Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger.

In America, we understand that a nation is only living as long as it is striving.

We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action – constantly complaining but never doing anything about it.

The time for empty talk is over.

Now arrives the hour of action.

Do not let anyone tell you it cannot be done. No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America.

We will not fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again.

We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow.

A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights and heal our divisions.

It is time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget: That whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, we all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American Flag.

And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty Creator.

So to all Americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, and from ocean to ocean, hear these words:

You will never be ignored again.

Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams, will define our American destiny. And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.

Together, We Will Make America Strong Again.

We Will Make America Wealthy Again.

We Will Make America Proud Again.

We Will Make America Safe Again.

And, Yes, Together, We Will Make America Great Again. Thank you, God Bless You, And God Bless America.

If you really want to be helpful, you can go back in and highlight the lines where he hated on women, Hispanics, blacks, gays, etc. and praised white supremacy. That will make it more convenient to pick out the fascism. Thank you in advance.

That means we get to refer to his inauguration speech when his policies are not redistributing wealth like he promised, where the middle class is not doing better and minorities are left behind in Trump's America

Otherwise, Trumps speech is empty platitudes

You could be right. You know how Facebook does the "you have memories to look back on today" thing? There was a post of mine in 2009 where I praised Obama's wonderful and inspiring inauguration speech. I reread it today and laughed. It was empty platitudes.

That pretty much sums up his presidency.. it was as vacuous as "Hope 'n Change".

 

[Nosmo King]

Don't forget to set your clocks back 40 years today at noon!

I thought it was 50. Come on, keep it straight. Sad to see y'all go, though, because the internet wasn't around 50 years ago so you won't be able to post. Oh, well.

And neither will Muslims, undocumented immigrants, Blacks, college educated folks and women.

 

[g5000]

The pseudocons think worship of the wrong god is terrorism.

Only when they carry out 30,162 terror attacks since 9/11

Hey, retard. 99 percent of those attacks were terrorists attacking Muslims.

Your propaganda outlets don't tell you that part, do they.

If you asked the Syrian refugees, I bet you would find they hate ISIS more than you do, but you fucking assholes lump them in with the terrorists.

There's a special place in hell for you, right next to the assholes who sent the Jewish refugees back to Hitler.

 

[g5000]

The tards don't realize there are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, and if they all wanted us dead...we would be.

And there are 2.2 Billion Christians. Do you go out of your way to be made the fool?

Are you some kind of masochist that likes being made fun of?

Seriously dewd..... THINK once in a while

One terrorist kills 50 people, and a couple hundred million of you get the squirts and drop to the floor in the fetal position.

Trump had better get busy! He only has about 22 hours left to totally transform America. Here are the 10 things that he will have done by tomorrow:

Trump promised to do these 10 things on his first day as president

Obama never siezed our guns as the pseudocons promised he would. So they'll forgive Trump for not keeping any of his promises.

And Trump won't dissolve your gay marriage either like all of you "progressives" keep clutching your pearls over.

I have never claimed Trump would dissolve gay marriages. Nice try.

In fact, I pointed out Trump isn't even going to reverse gays in the military and the bigots have once again found themselves standing under a fiery cross on the wrong side of history.
