Those aren't your reasons, doh.

Ok, I've reviewed your posts and seems you're not a leftist. For now anyways... Cheers

That's not what you said in the OP. You said you were suspended for misbehaving, and it sounded like you were about to have a tantrum. There is evidence of a new syndrome among leftists, a kind of mental nervous breakdown. Have you had a desire to call the help hotline lately?

America under President Trump
OftenWrong replied to betsy's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
President Trump has made his billions off of smart real estate deals. He's like, worlds' richest real estate agent. Next he will demonstrate how a more direct, blunt form of leadership gets things done. Quickly and efficiently... the changes are coming more quickly than you can imagine. -
America under President Trump
OftenWrong replied to betsy's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Trump does not need the SC. He has a way to circumvent the whole problem, and get it put in place right away. Simply pass another executive order. "President Donald Trump said Friday that he could issue a new executive order on immigration after an appeals court refused to reinstate restrictions on entry to the United States from seven predominantly Muslim nations. "The unfortunate part is that it takes time statutorily ... we'll win that battle," Trump said. "But we also have a lot of other options, including just filing a brand new order on Monday." Asked what changes could be made if a new order were issued, the president replied, "very little." "Very little..." -

To paraphrase some smart dude, "a good judge is one who makes the right judgement, even when they personally may disagree with it". Because, the law. And the law says Trump has the power to enact this ban. What these "judges" have done, is unpresidented. -

America under President Trump
OftenWrong replied to betsy's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
This is like the other Trump thread but oh well. Because that in fact is not the reason the ban was put in place. In 2011 the CIA identified some countries that are unable to provide the quality of information necessary for US visa applications. Executive Order Section 1, Purpose: "In order to protect Americans, the United States must ensure that those admitted to this country do not bear hostile attitudes toward it and its founding principles. The United States cannot, and should not, admit those who do not support the Constitution, or those who would place violent ideologies over American law. In addition, the United States should not admit those who engage in acts of bigotry or hatred (including "honor" killings, other forms of violence against women, or the persecution of those who practice religions different from their own) or those who would oppress Americans of any race, gender, or sexual orientation. " Sounds pretty fair to me so far. What problem do you have with above? " Sec. 3. Suspension of Issuance of Visas and Other Immigration Benefits to Nationals of Countries of Particular Concern. (a) The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Director of National Intelligence, shall immediately conduct a review to determine the information needed from any country to adjudicate any visa, admission, or other benefit under the INA (adjudications) in order to determine that the individual seeking the benefit is who the individual claims to be and is not a security or public-safety threat. " Trump calls for a review of the requirements of information needed, to set a kind of minimum standard. The all so exciting section c- " (c) To temporarily reduce investigative burdens on relevant agencies during the review period, to ensure the proper review and maximum utilization of available resources for the screening of foreign nationals, and to ensure that adequate standards are established to prevent infiltration by foreign terrorists or criminals, I hereby proclaim that the immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens from countries referred to would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and I hereby suspend entry into the United States, as immigrants and nonimmigrants, of such persons for 90 days from the date of this order (excluding those foreign nationals traveling on diplomatic visas, North Atlantic Treaty Organization visas, C-2 visas for travel to the United Nations, and G-1, G-2, G-3, and G-4 visas). " Oh my! So unethical. How dare he impose a 90 day temporary ban on a subset of applicants while the new administration works to improve on the standards of security information. They should let the terrorists come right on in... -

It doesn't say that. It says he is not pursuing it now, but may choose to later. They have a few other things to put in place before making their final move. Clearly the moves made by Trump's opponents are 100% political and have nothing to do with any sense of "what's right", since Trump was only extending a ban that already existed thanks to President Obama. Were the 7 nations identified in Donald Trump's travel ban named by Barack Obama as terror hotbeds? The Obama-signed law contains provisions that restrict travel to the United States for people who lived in or visited Iran, Iraq, Sudan, or Syria since March 2011. The law was soon expanded by Obama’s Department of Homeland Security to cover Libya, Somalia, and Yemen. They were identified in the agency’s announcement as "countries of concern," a phrase used in the law. Dems had no issue with this approach by Obama before, but they certainly are grandstanding on it now. I guess even Donald Trump underestimated how corrupt the system is. -
Countries communicates like wild animals

Sure, because we should trust the Russians that they are nice guys who never would do anything deceptive, especially in a theatre of war. Read some history, friend. -
Why delete a profile? Since all your posts remain, as stated by the administrator. All that is accomplished is that the person can no longer login. If you don't want to log in anymore, just don't visit the site. It's that simple really... self control. No need to ask the admins to do anything. Unless of course, this isn't about wanting your profile "deleted", which won't be done anyway, but rather some kind of grand-standing. Whining leftists seek a podium to declare they will self-immolate, but never actually follow through.

Democrats Are In Disarray...Not GOP
OftenWrong replied to bush_cheney2004's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
That's the way it is every election, both parties challenge the authenticity of the opposition's votes, as is healthy in a democracy. There's nothing new here, not even the fact that such complaints always come from the side that lost. Democrats were not thinking about Republicans stealing elections? Do you think they are naive? From what I understand they are every bit as sly. Dems got lots of experience rigging elections, in other countries. -
Punish the Deed-Not the Breed?
OftenWrong replied to drummindiver's topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
Sounds great, wish they'd do that here! My mom has a big mean dog living in the house beside her. She's scared to go out in her own backyard when the dog is out. When she mentioned it to the neighbours, they got highly offensive towards her. They are a couple of dope smoking leftists. So then one day I was in her yard and the dog came out, started to freak on me. And he is one big black bastard. But I just whistled at him and laughed. Then the owner came out and apologized, and tried to get his dog back in the house, AND I COULD TELL, HE WAS SCARED OF HIS OWN DOG. I guess the dog's in charge over there.- 117 replies

Bombardier just received $372 million in loans
OftenWrong replied to ?Impact's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
I dunno, my first thoughts were like "What, the hell?" I heard Bombardier asked for 1 B dollars. Gee, that's a little bit. That's like a whole auto- industry bailout, but for only one company! The CEO seemed real happy to get only 378 M. I guess they went with the old adage, "Ask high, expect Low"? I certainly hope they pay this loan back. Will reasonable interest be applied? -
Exactly. Anyone can make mistakes. That's why pencils have erasers...

Sure he might make a few minor gaffs at the start, but its no big deal.

I think he'll learn exactly how powerful the position is. He was just testing.

Perhaps in your world adultery is ok. There is no law against it. Lying under oath is a different matter.

Trump speaks and the markets rise or fall, depending on his utterances.

I think the cultural values come first, then protected by laws. In other cultures, such as some in Africa and the Middle East, they either don't think it's a big deal to abuse women or they simply don't care. It is definitely this culture that needs to be annihilated.

Sounds like a positive, in general. But yes, seems like being the POTUS takes its toll. As President Donald Trump famously said, "This office is so powerful, you need God even more."
